( He doesn't write, preferring to dictate as soon as it becomes apparent that he can do so. It's better than attempting to wield a pen and ink with fingers that have forgotten such simple motions many, many years ago. )

It's rare that I find myself surprised by anything, but I believe this takes the prize. I'm curious as to how any particular individual, or even group, managed to tear me away from the Void, let alone into another plane of existence. There is of course the matter of returning, but I am in no great hurry--I would rather speak with those responsible for my current situation.

( The paper transcribes a faint hum. )

Those with insight into the matter, responsible or not, are welcome to voice their opinion. I imagine my wait may be longer than is convenient by traditional standards.

I am known as the Outsider, although I doubt the title carries much weight in this world. I look forward to seeing what you all have to offer.

Does the possibility of being trapped here forever frighten you at all?

I do not feel it would be forever, and though I would like to return home as soon as possible, I can afford to wait. A year is not very long all considered, I will be more concerned in five or ten.

Even a single year could be a very long time for some.

To some, but I already experienced a full life, and gained more past that. I can at least be a little patient when striving forward. It would be harder if it were simply nothing more than waiting.

How long constitutes a 'full life' for you?

I lived fifty or so years before sleeping for fourteen hundred after gaining immortality.
