So this whole back-from-the-dead thing is only temporary, huh? I'll be going back to my old dead self pretty soon then...

Figures.

You could always make an extensive trade with the Deities if don't want to be dead anymore.

[big_googoo_eyes]

[a thoughtful pause]

Oh no, I've learned my lesson from making deals with gods a long time ago.

[child_radical]

Point taken. You know after all this time I've yet to learn your name, other than referring to you as "That woman that calls me Junior".

[big_googoo_eyes]

Well, Junior, the name's Megara, but people here call me Meg.

We assume. If it's not, you should find out by midnight.

[big_googoo_eyes]

I'm dreading midnight.

I actually had a decent meal today, and it's reassuring to hear my heartbeat. I'm not looking forward to going back to my old cold, dead self.

[worksmart]

Your cold, dead self has to be an improvement on the standard variety. Particularly considering your situation.

Have you tried eating on other days? Not a requirement, but people do keep the habit.

[big_googoo_eyes]

Oh believe me, pretty boy, I try to eat at least once a day, but eating when you're dead isn't half as nice as eating when you're alive. You don't have the satisfaction of being full.

[thuggincornrows]

... You dead?

[big_googoo_eyes]

Not today.

[thuggincornrows]

Does it feel weird bein' dead in the city?

[big_googoo_eyes]

Well...you get used to it, that's for sure.

[aregulargirl]

Maybe it'll stick.

[big_googoo_eyes]

When have the deities here ever given us something we want?

[aregulargirl]

Fair point. Though they didn't really follow through on the last plague thing.

[big_googoo_eyes]

You mean the death of the firstborn thing I kept hearing about?

[pinkikemenhero]

It's better than nothing though, yes?

[big_googoo_eyes]

I guess. But I'd rather remain dead the entire time than get a taste of life, only to have it ripped away from me. Again.

[pinkikemenhero]

True... but I do remember a time when the Deities made it permanent.

[big_googoo_eyes]

Care to expand on that little tidbit of information? I'm dying to know.
