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.

What's the difference you see in the terms?

One would mean I was too afraid to accept my death or that I had unfinished business and the other does not.

[thraxios]

Provided that the person to whom you appear as a vision isn't mad, at least.

[aphoenixsong]

He was far saner than myself - I can say that much.

Generally a good sign.

My name is Gideon Thraxios. It's a pleasure to meet another of Paradisa's dead.

[aphoenixsong]

I was hopeful when we concluded the meeting.

Your name is befitting of the Wizarding World, Mister Thraxios. The pleasure is mine. Please feel free to call me Albus.
