[Video] Backdated: Saturday late morning

[anuglyman]

[The background of this video shows forest somewhere, and the bits of which that are viewable show some damage to the tree branches and a little scorching to a couple bushes.

The foreground shows a very frustrated and impatient-looking Mr. Gold.]

I require transportation. And I require it quickly. I can, of course, pay handsomely.

[Because somebody's ability to teleport seems to have been curtailed rather sharply, because his mun is mean to him.]

[Which of course makes Rumple assume he's hit a nerve, and thus is right.]

Spirits are generally dead, are they not?

[frostedoverland]

No, that would be ghosts. Spirits come in all forms, so I guess a few could be dead. But generally, they aren't.

[He's just one of the few.]

[anuglyman]

Ghosts, spirits, they are one and the same where I come from. So you did not die, then?

[Because he could swear Jack had acted like he'd hit the nail on the proverbial head, there, and he's not often wrong when it comes to reactions like that.]

[frostedoverland]

They aren't where I'm from.

[He sighs and shrugs.]

Yeah, I did. But that's not why I'm a nature spirit.

[He honestly just doesn't like thinking about it. He likes to focus on why he became a spirit. Because he'd saved his sister. Thinking about his death only reminded him that he had essentially left his sister alone and the girl probably thought it was all her fought her brother was dead and-

He shook his head to clear his thoughts.]

[anuglyman]

[Impressive, to shrug while flying. Rumple has yet to actually forget they're in the air, intrigue aside.]

Then why bother with protesting about it? It isn't as if I'm going to come across many more spirits from your world, now, am I?

[He kind wanted to ask what death was like, but that was one thing he still feared, and he wasn't sure he wanted to know the answer.]

[frostedoverland]

Because most spirits don't like being asked if they died. It's comparing them to ghosts and they don't like that.

[anuglyman]

To be honest, that isn't likely to come up again, is it? Unless there are more of you around who managed to not die before becoming a spirit.

[He goes back to looking around, despite his interest. They should be almost there... soon... he hopes?]

What was dying like, then? Or do you not remember?
