Hello Nova. This is Reilanin. I think you will have to look up my piece of paper.

Did you switch into any different bodies?

I did. I was a cleric, and a bird. And I was also Ravindra. (He is also in your pieces of paper. He is the paladin.)

It was very interesting. I do not think Ravindra is very interested in how different it was, but you might be. Did you know that sleep is wonderful? And cats are warm? And apples are very sweet, and they smell sweet, too. I did not know apples had a smell.

Being a human was very strange, but I liked it. Being a bird was very nice, too.

I liked being warm without feeling sick. And I like to eat things in other peoples' bodies.

I wonder... [ but she stops there. ]

Do you want to switch with anyone?

Maybe a guild leader. They live a long time and all have different sorts of powers beyond anything a regular person could have.

I think I'm onboard your cat idea, too.

[winterwhite]

Mm, is it a good thing to live a long time? I don't think so.

Better to be a cat, I think.

I don't know if it's the same for you, but with humans, dying isn't really dying. After you die you have to keep on living forever in the Dark, where there's nothing good to make life worth living.

I don't know why it's like that. It's as if the universe is broken and it's some kind of mistake.

[winterwhite]

At least you know that, I suppose. If that's what you expect, it doesn't seem so bad.

I don't now. You need a soul to go there, don't you?

[taking_names]

[...but it's not okay, Reilanin!]

I think so. I don't know what else would go there besides a soul.

[winterwhite]

Ah. Then it is something I will have to trust you on, then.

Do cats have souls?

[taking_names]

...I have no idea.

Maybe the cleric leader would know.
