[Bondrewd lets the whistle settle back to resting on his cravat.]
Not at all. The whistle houses my soul, but I am able to go to other bodies by the operation of a different relic. Zoaholic. It allows me to spread my consciousness into willing individuals and assume their body as a host should my current one expire. With the combination of my soul in the whistle and my consciousness stored in so many bodies, I continue to live with all of myself in tact, aside from my physical body naturally.
Regrettably, I don't have the relic in Aldrip. Hardly surprising; it's not that portable, after all.
Technically yes. I can activate my consciousness to see through their eyes and convey commands occasionally, but at this time I haven't been able to make that connection since arriving in Aldrip. Hardly a surprise, but it is the first thing I tried when I woke here.
Imagine it like the smallest seed, waiting to sprout with the right circumstances. So, that piece of myself with them simply remains, waiting.
Indeed. And I only assume a body with explicit consent.
[Bondrewd, A Man of Morals! That's what they say (no they do not)]
I would love to be able to show you if it was here. Perhaps our keepers will find a mercy and incorporate it into the simulation one day, if only so I could show you how it functions.
It's truly a marvel. It's permitted me to perform incredible explorations and experiments.

[Fandaniel curls a finger against his chin in thought as his silver gaze locks on the whistle.]
I shall circle back to that.
But first... When you told me you died many times was it this whistle that brought you back, then?
[He has many thoughts about how to kill Bondrewd for their experiment but this whistle is immediately fascinating.]

[He smirks and unfolds his legs so he kick them excitedly.]
Does this mean there are individuals back in your home world who carry your consciousness within them even now?

'Tis a fascinating method of body-hopping, I must say!
[He exhales a wistful sigh.]
I wish you had Zoaholic at hand so I could witness it myself.

[A pause.]
Well, perhaps I should say the finality of it. I have died in my own endeavor to better understand the nature of life itself.
...Many times, in fact. Always I wake.
apologies for once again disappearing /rubs temples
Yet, for you... would nothing reinspire you to desire life? It would seem many would lack without a mind like yours, Fandaniel.

[He lifts a hand and waves it dismissively through the air.]
So that I might exist for centuries more and endure the suffering that comes with it? I think not.
[Despite his words, he smiles.]
I have worked very hard to die. My death is my magnum opus.
