Forty-Sixth Drop: a moment of clear thought is my gift

[spiritofsorrow]

November 4th was my birthday. I completely forgot about that. If I were living, at this point, I would be 56 -- I died at 53, then there were two years as a spirit after that, and then a total of about a year in the City. I don't age anymore, but it is still nostalgic for me. My family always brought me books for my birthday, because I was such a

I'm glad they're helping you, Sorrow.

[spiritofsorrow]

As am I. Thank you, Ken -- I owe you more than I can repay, and you should never have had to deal with what happened.

Hey, it's just what friends do for each other, right?

[spiritofsorrow]

I've not yet done anything for you. I wish I could, if only to make myself of use.

And I thank you for considering me a friend.

Wait wait wait.

Go back to the 'if I were alive' part.

[spiritofsorrow]

I am a spirit, in my world. Even before I came here, I had already died. Ergo, I do not age, not physically.

[pinkfuckingpro]

So how are you here?

[spiritofsorrow]

I don't know how the masters of this place transport us here, but presumably they somehow drew my spirit across into this place. In doing so, they gave it a body, but it is one as if I have already died here.

Are you new? Pardon if the answer is no, but if someone dies here, their body returns to "life" in 24 hours but with no need for vital functions.

It's good to hear from you, Sorrow. And happy late birthday!

How's your face doing? Are you okay to have company?

[spiritofsorrow]

Thank you, Penny. It's good to hear from you.

Yes, just give me advance warning, so that I can prepare, and I would love to have company. As long as I know, I can keep my mind together for key points.

[horrible_penny]

How's tomorrow evening look for you? I'd really like to come by and say hi. Check in.

[spiritofsorrow]

Tomorrow evening will work -- I'll be looking forward to it.

Hn. Our birthdays are somewhat close together...

... And you're still stuck as a.. eh.. vampire?

[spiritofsorrow]

Hopefully for not much longer. Dr. Solomon is doing what he can.

[hidesinrestroom]

That's good... Dying again doesn't reset it..?

[spiritofsorrow]

I don't want to try that until it is absolutely necessary. If I don't get to go back to our world to see Joy again...

Accidental turning?

[spiritofsorrow]

Yes...unfortunately, but it is something that may finally end now.
