If only my phone's camera was working, then I'd show you. Damn... the one time I could use Sasword! Still, you do realize some of the people on the network are exactly human at times right?
Heh. Very true. I would guess my house isn't that important anymore since I was its last heir, and I'm obviously dead now.
Find me in a few days, and I'll stand on top of proving it. I need to talk with my ward first about a development of mine. That or you could try finding someone else here, who's alien or magical to prove it.
Oh, for the love of... Does being a chink make you thick, or somethin'? If you're talkin' to me, you ain't very dead. All right?
If you can prove it in a few days, I'll think about it, right? But before then, I'm not goin' out of my way to try and prove somethin' I don't believe in.
The City gives even the dead a mild heartbeat, just not one like the living... and again, I'm dead. I'm not exactly worried about my health as if I was alive.
You should probably read it. It may help you adjust to the City quicker.
...and no, it isn't the same. Would you want me to call you an American or maybe Welsh, Scottish or Irish because you speak English or are from the British Isles? The Japanese Islands may have been a former colony of the region known as China, but we have long since distanced ourselves from the Chinese.

Yep! I'm dead! Can't do much there anymore!
Anyway, from what I remember, you can't control your entrances and exits to the City... ever.

Although, maybe I'm just used to strange things considering aliens trying to kill off humanity in my world.

I am very much dead, see listen.
[a very irregular heartbeat can be heard, one which shouldn't be able to sustain life]
You've read the City literature which explain the City's equivalence of the dead right?

[A pause as Ray listens, and tries to work that one out.]
Wouldn't be an 'eartbeat at all if you were dead, would there? You oughta get that looked at, or sommat.
Suprisin'ly, I 'aven't 'ad much time for readin' jus' yet. I've been too busy tryin' to sort out more important things.
