I have a question for you all today.
What sorts of things do you do with your families?
Or did, in case they're not here, you no longer lived with them at home, etc.
Did you have many family outings?
Did you stay at home and watch television together?
Did you play card games or board games or something?
How did you enjoy your time together?

Or...tell me about them maybe...
Do you live with both of your parents?
Do you have any siblings?
Are you the oldest or the youngest?

...I guess I actually have a lot of questions.
Sorry about that.

Good question!

[...One she's not actually going to answer, um.]

Which one?

[[That's okay. It gives Rose a chance to be banter-y! Which is good too, because she's just looking for a distraction really.]]

All of them, really! Family dynamics always interested me, and with living things the combinations of circumstances are endless, so it remains a living subject to explore!

...so you never had a family?
And what do you mean by living things?
It sounds as though you're implying that you're dead.
No offense meant, of course.

Not "dead", not necessarily. I'm not human.

Or, rather, I wasn't human before I arrived here.

Theoretically someone did create me, I suppose, but it's been a while, I don't know who that person is anymore.

Are you a spirit of some sort then?
Because if you refer to living things *as* "living" things, that certainly makes it sound as though you aren't living.
It's interesting though to meet someone else who wasn't human before they came here however!

I'm a psychopomp!

In most cultures, I would be referred to as "The Grim Reaper."

But yes, I am a spirit being first and foremost!
