Hi everyone...

I wanted to let you know about something more serious. It's about who...or what I am. So this doesn't surprise you later. I guess some of you already knew I wasn't quite what I appeared to be, but I'm still processing it.

I used to watch shows about magical girls when I was younger. If you've never seen those shows before, they're about girls with magic who use some kind of gem to change into cute battle outfits, have animal friends to mentor them, other magical friends to fight alongside...and love and justice always won out. I used to dream about what it would be like to become one, though I was sure it wasn't real.

And then, when I least expected it, it happened. I was heavily wounded after a car crash, and a cute animal appeared to me. He promised me any wish I wanted as long as I agreed to become a magical girl and fight witches who trap and kill humans. So I wished to keep living...and became what I am now.

I thought I was just a regular magical girl like the ones on TV. But it turns out I'm a lich. Revenant. Undead. He ripped my soul out of my body and put it in a gem...I know that's usually dark magic. I've been reassured that I'm safe for you all to be around, Rosetta helps keep my soul gem safe. But it just feels strange, that I've been like this for a while...is all. Any advice on living with it would be appreciated.

Oh wow, that sucks.

I don't really know if this helps at all. But I've been kind of... not really alive, not really dead for that last two years. And I've kind of gotten used to it?

If you ever want to talk about stuff. Or you know, take it some misplaced aggression by punching stuff, I'm there.

I think I'd like that.

...mm. How did your friends react, if you don't mind my asking?

Pretty freaked out at first? They saw the accident, and considering how much I was freaking, I can't really blame them. But after that, they accepted me and everything went back to the way it was before.

Just with more ghost attacks.

You have such good friends.

I guess it was a lot to get used to. How much did things change?

Yeah... They're really great.

[Danny thinks a moment.]

With my friends? Not that much, really. Sam started telling me a lot that my differences made me unique, and that unique was good. But then that usually turned into complaints about her parents. Tucker mostly just made bad jokes about it and tried to get me to use my abilities to play pranks on the local bullies.

When my sister found out about it, we actually got a lot closer than we used to be.

[He grimaces a little.] I'm still keeping it a secret from my parents. And pretty much everything else. People in my world aren't really as willing to accept ghosts as the people in the train have been.

I can see why. People would probably be scared, or blame themselves...

[ She folds her hands in front of her. ]

You're our ally. That's the important thing, right?

Yeah... A lot of people at home believe that all ghosts are evil. But they're not. I've met a lot of full ghosts,and a lot of them are great people.

[Another frown.]

I guess what I'm trying to say is that I found out that being part ghost or part dead, whatever you call it. It turned out to not be nearly as scary as I thought it was first. It even has a lot of benefits. Like flying.

Right. Ghosts don't have to be scary at all! I guess I'm one too, in a way.

Sadly, I don't get to fly. Just swing from ribbons! But it's almost as flexible.

Welcome to the train almost a ghost club then, I guess.

That sounds kind of fun too!
