No worries. Like... you don't have to believe me, but I actually do totally know where you're coming from here.
It's just. [ a pause, and then it's a little quieter, a little more genuine. ] It's not something you can take back, y'know? Here, you can. Back in the real world? Being a ghost was pretty much the worst thing I've ever felt. And that was before the vacation in ghost-limbo hell.
Part-time. Like, my buddy Josh kind of... found this voodoo-witch soup cook to put me back in my body and like - fix it so it wasn't all gross and rotten and shit? But I guess it only works for like six months, and it was aboooout three months in that I showed up here, so. Every two to three months, bam, I'm dead again. And as much as I totally rock this whole 'ghost' thing, I seriously would not recommend it.
Whyyyy does that word have to be so damn trendy? [ it's plaintive, but not offended. ] Howabout let's try 'reanimated'. That sounds a lot less like I'm going to bite someone in the neck.

You're - a ghost?

[that... sure is something.]
I... I see. So, you're sort of like, um, a zombie. But, not mindless - like... still walking around, and not rotting, but still dead...?
[wait, he didn't just say something offensive, did he?]
