Mere months have passed for me, and I have to say I feel similarly.

Immortal? Or---

I once wished to know what time felt like to people---to any mortal.

I'd like to tell you that it varies greatly.

Perhaps we can't count our own perspectives on it. We have too much to contrast it with. It may be unfair.

I doubt that people could be happy if they felt the passing of time so heavily, and I have seen people happy.

Still...

In that case; they seem to observe it on a much smaller scale in general.

I'm sorry but there is no way to tell through these...devices.

A life of watching until you became...?

You don't mind?

[ she's just a little dubious... mostly because she can't fathom it to begin with ]

[shiningdown]

I'm still just as I was---my form, that is. I only...I can't go back without help.

Well, none of us can here.

[ pause ]

I was, quite literally, knocked out of the sky. That's where this being earthbound began and this is, apparently, where it's gotten me.

Mind? [Well...] It's frustrating at times. The capabilities for some things are depleted while others are enhanced. It's difficult to keep up sometimes.
