Interview with Yaron Ioron (4’05”)
[Toby] Yaron it is great to be able to interview you today after your brutal murder. How are you feeling?
[Yaron] Toby, I feel great, believe it or not. I was worried that after dying, I would have been dealing with a lot of trauma and regret. Instead I feel this whole new love of life. Maybe it;s true what they say, you don’t know what you have until its gone.
[Toby] How is that going to affect your day to day life Yaron?
[Yaron] Well, first, I am definitely going to find more time for family, you know? Mom & Dad had to take a lot of risks to bring me back. And I am considering starting a family and settling down. See the miracle of life for myself. And, of course I want to _______________
[Toby] [Explitive] -ahem- Sorry Yaron, what did you just say.
[Yaron] Ah, Sorry Toby. I just do that some times. The guys over at Tul’Ophala told me that it would be a temporary thing, and that ____________ . Sorry. There I go again.
[Toby] Yaron, there were tentacles coming out of your mouth.
[Yaron] Yeah, that. It seems like I have a passenger. Don’t worry about it. I am taking medicine and he should be gone in a few days. Very common side effect of necromantic resurrection.
[Toby] I see. Any more major side effects?
[Yaron] Nah. Like I said, I feel great. Just a few embarrassing, temporary ticks, __________
[Toby] Well, speaking of resurrection, I am sure the audience is dying to know, what did you experience on the other side?
[Yaron] I’m afraid I can’t say, Toby. See, the necromancers over at Tul’Ophala… they suppress your memory a split second before death, and of everything afterwards, to avoid any trauma. I remember that Torg jerk stabbing me, but after that… Nothing until I woke up in their client reception area. Which was the nicest thing you could have ever woken up to. Edna, their staff therapist said _______! _________!
[Toby] Yaron!
[Yaron] I’m Okay… I’m Okay. Just a little tired.
[Toby] Do we need to cut this short?
[Yaron] Yeah, maybe. I feel like a wimp. Honestly. I am at 90%, and getting better all the time, Toby. This last little hump is it and I will be back to work. Tul’Ophala did a great job. But maybe I wasn’t ready for an interview just yet.
[Toby] Take your time, Yaron. We love you.
[Yaron] Thank’s Toby. I promise, I’m not rushing. Dead takes a little time to recover from.
