∞4 | video. Death Takes A Holiday;
[From the angle shown, Ravine is holding the phone away from her face, elbow propped with her chin in the palm of her gloved hand -- and even now, hints of black smoke continue wafting from her hair and coat.
[ Although apparently uncomfortable, she flashes her smile just as she always has.]
"Well, for those who believe themselves capable, I would advise against any attempts at reaching that ninth god beneath the Colosseum the easy way. It leads to some rather ill results."
[She would know.
[Soon her gold eyes shift back to the soft brown most are used to seeing when she is not wearing her sunglasses. Once she is feeling a little better and not radiating black vapors anymore, her stern expression transforms into a smile, her face scrunched in amusement.]
"For anyone not interested in that, however, I have a question!
"Imagine, if you will, that you have been a dead person for thousands of years. It has also been that long since you've ever felt or tasted anything.
"Then imagine if you have been given an opportunity here to be a living, breathing person -- but only for a few days! Would you mind sharing what you would do with that short time in the mortal plane?
"I admit, I am perhaps looking at this from a dead woman's perspective, but it does not appear that there is much to do for the corporeal here when there is not a festival being thrown by our gracious locals. It would be a shame to put such a generous gift to waste."
['But Ravine, why not just ask the gods to make you permanently living?!' one might say.
[Yeah, no, that is the one thing she is not addressing right now, thank you very much.]

Wait... [There so many new things here, he's having a lot of trouble keeping track of all of the new rules.] If you don't have a body, how are you using a phone?
Video
[Yes, after all this time, it turns out RAVINE WAS PHONE.]
Video
[Holds the phone further away from him. There's a ghost in that! He doesn't need it to be close enough to get possessed. Dropping it would probably be the smarter course of action, but that'd be rude in the middle of a conversation and the ghost lady didn't seem mean.]
Video
[How tempting it is to allow him to actually keep believing that! Luckily, Ravine isn't anywhere near that cruel.]
If you want the truth, I use the phone out of courtesy, but I am capable of interacting with the physical.
Video
[Still holding the phone further away than before.]
You're not like a shikigami are you? No wait...they've got bodies...
Video
[She pauses. If he's familiar with the shikigami, then... Hmmm.]
Have you heard of the shinigami? My kind are a much closer equivalent to that, if not spot on. Many cultures have ways of giving us different names.
Video
Oh! Why didn't you just say so?
I didn't know Shinigami couldn't eat or feel the sun. I'm sorry for talking about how awesome something you can't do is.
Video
No need to apologize -- that is why I asked! I have a deal worked out to be made living again for only a few days, and I would like to make the most of it.

If you know when it's going to happen, go to a restaurant and order everything early. Some stuff takes a really long time to prepare and you gotta have it ready so you can have it right away. [This guy is still haven't trouble remembering that there are no restaurants just lying around.]
