[ There's a lot of things to ask, but maybe he should go with the most obvious question: ] "Back from the dead"?

[ A lot of things can happen even in his world, but dead people coming back to life isn't one of them. ] Were you in some kind of comatose before?

[earthmagic]

I'm not familiar with that word. I died in a plague.

It's not the kind of afterlife I was expecting. [She wasn't sure what she'd been expecting, given what she'd done, but it wasn't this.]

[simplejournalist]

Died? Uhm, you should be perfectly fine and living, I think. At least last time I checked, I was alive so you should be too?

[ Talk about different worlds... This is a new experience for this reporter guy. ]

[earthmagic]

Well, I wouldn't want you to be dead. But it's my understanding that I am.

[Despite her knowledge of the spiritual realm, it's a new experience for her too.]

Such a complete blending of worlds beyond the usual. Unless this place doesn't belong to either the living or the dead.

[simplejournalist]

Oh... Thanks. Since you're talking and breathing, [ At least that's what he hopes...you're not a zombie, are you?] I'd think you're alive, at least for the moment? But yeah, I agree, this place is weird...

[ Especially with how there's no fourth wall. ]
