do you think merle could pull dead people into parley. like i’m not necessarily referring to someone like kravitz, who is undead, or john, whose aliveness attribute is questionable at best, but like. say taako died at the beginning of the year and he forgot to tell merle where he hid the weed. could merle pull his soul out of the astral plane to ask. lmk.

now i’m imagining a post-canon where merle keeps pulling, say, magic brian or someone into parley. you know, just for a chat. they got off on the wrong foot last time! he calls up gundren rockseeker one day. he’s family, after all. the next time it’s jenkins. noelle. that guy he banished to the astral plane in the middle of a race during that one live show. the sky’s the limit, really.

kravitz has to sit him down more than once to explain that you can’t just steal souls from the astral plane whenever you want to play cards, merle. you can’t just commit more death crimes in the name of a good time, merle.

and merle smiles and nods sagely like he finally gets it but then the next day he pulls kravitz away from a high-stakes bounty to play poker instead.

And that’s the story of how Merle eventually posthumously became friends with each and every one of his former enemies
