I have found myself in the most curious sort of predicament. One moment, I was dead and the next, I am standing in the middle of what I can only describe as a room with a remarkable view. To further complicate matters, I have located this device which is all too foreign to me. Thankfully, I am in full possession of my wits - which are substantial - and I was able to turn it on.

[He pauses to let his words sink in before continuing, his tone as light and unassuming as ever:]

My name is Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, though that is rather much to remember. There was a time that I simply responded to Albus, so I think that shall do for the present time.

What I seek are answers and I will patiently await them until either they drift my way or I discover them on my own.

I am a Wizard; a Wizard that has seen much in his long life.

How long are we talking here?

[aphoenixsong]

I was one hundred and fifteen years old upon my death.

[honeytoes]

No kidding...

I thought you guys were like...immortal or something?

[aphoenixsong]

Fortunately we are not. Immortality isn't the blessing it seems, I assure you.

[honeytoes]

I can imagine.

Seeing your loved ones grow old and die before you doesn't exactly sound like much of a party.

[aphoenixsong]

Most certainly not. It is far better to live one lifetime and cherish each memory.
