I've been thinking, lately, about something I experienced back in the place where I was born..

If you could meet yourself as a child…

Would she/he be proud of you?

What kind of excuse would you say to excuse the things you've done or the person you've become?

So are you one of the ones that's back from the dead, then?

It's a bit more complicated than that. Due to circumstances I'm what you would call a restless ghost.

[realimperfect]

More complicated just seems like a bigger pain in the ass.

It usually is. Normally I'd just say that I'm undead, but that leaves people with the wrong impressions more often than not. Not to mention the prejudices.

[The fun thing about text is that you can be as ironic or sarcastic as you want without being too obvious about it.]

The eating brains impression? Unflattering, really.

[feelsgoodinyou]

Honestly. They should have just given me a proper burial.

But that wouldn't have meshed well with how they denied everything.

That... seems like a unique situation... At least you can sort of.. get your revenge this way, though?

[feelsgoodinyou]

I would have, if I hadn't been sealed in a magical trinket.

[At least he made damn sure that he wasn't the only one who had had to go that way. Those who had been responsible had paid and the few who were still missing would do so as well in due time.]

Magic trinket.. ?

One of the Millennium Items. Put simply, they're magnificent tools to posses if you desire power and the ability to mess with people's souls. [That is, if trying to wield one didn't kill you first.]

[text]

[realimperfect]

Not an item I'd choose to use, really.

[text]

[feelsgoodinyou]

I doubt one of them would choose you, either. They are rather picky about their masters.

[text]

[realimperfect]

All for the better then. I'd like whatever soul I may possess left alone.

[text]

[feelsgoodinyou]

It wouldn't have been yours that they mess with.

[text]

[realimperfect]

Either way, I'd prefer to leave the intangible alone, if at all possible.

[text]

[feelsgoodinyou]

What if the intangible doesn't share your opinion?

[text]

[realimperfect]

Most people and things don't seem to, so it wouldn't be anything new.

[text]

[feelsgoodinyou]

That's not much of an answer.

[text]

[realimperfect]

I wasn't aware I was trying to be a people pleaser.
