"In a manner of speaking." Daniel winces a little because, yeah, this conversation is always a brand of awkward bordering on painful. "Little while ago, I kind of...spent some time on a higher plane. Well I - actually I had to die first, and then I Ascended which is - I, uh, I don't actually know if you have that here." He looks upward with absurd curiosity, as if the ceiling might somehow extemporaneously confirm the existence of a higher plane in this universe.

"But, uh, see, after that I came back a little, um. Different. Er, well, the first time not as much. I didn't actually learn how to retain anything until I Ascended the second time, and at that point..." He trails off, very aware that he probably sounds completely out of his mind. He grimaces again, this time apologetically. "It's a bit of a long story."
