When: Day 32, evening
Where: Apartment O
What: family dinner...?

[There is a stew bubbling happily over the fire; leaf "platters" and shish-kebabs(? something-chunks on sticks), salad, a somewhat overcooked stirfry, and a gourd filled with fruit chunks in milky liquid are arranged on the kitchen counter.]

Okay, guys, get it while it's hot!

I'd say you sounded like a children's book.

[ibedeadpeople]

That's acceptable.

[byallmeans]

Why am I not surprised?

[ibedeadpeople]

What can I say? I'm easygoing. I think it adds to my lovable charm.

[byallmeans]

As long as you also realize that's a point of view not everyone shares.

[ibedeadpeople]

You're a smart kid, you could be lovable and charming if you really wanted to!

[byallmeans]

Very good. Now follow that thought to its logical conclusion.

[ibedeadpeople]

I understand it might seem scary at first, but being liked on a widespread scale isn't so bad once you get used to it.

[byallmeans]

Coming from someone who knows all about it, of course.

[ibedeadpeople]

Yup. It's not just a talent, it's my job.

[byallmeans]

What, the dead won't listen if you're not polite?

[ibedeadpeople]

Not necessarily, but it does help. Besides, they're gonna be in my body, I'd rather they weren't tempted to trash the place, you know?

[byallmeans]

Point.
