You've reached Maugris, or at least his phone. I can't pick up at the moment, probably because I'm asleep, busy, or don't have reception. Leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. In an emergency, use the network - if you still can't raise me there, you'll probably find someone else to help.

I don't tend to lie anyway. I just normally don't give out this much information.

[angryyoungvamp]

Fair enough.

So, do you have a name besides "Cain"? I can only guess that would cause some comment, especially in Japan.

[meaningdies]

The name I was given when I was born this time was Naoya. It's as good as any other name for me.

[angryyoungvamp]

"Born this time"? So, what, serial reincarnation? That's one way to end up immortal, I guess.

[meaningdies]

Yes. Every time I'm killed, I'm born into a new body with all of my previous memories.

[angryyoungvamp]

Having the previous memories is kind of the important part for that, I guess. I never understood what the difference between being reborn or not is with the normal kind. Never really could wrap my head around Buddhism.

[meaningdies]

It's generally a matter of old souls with wiped or locked memories versus totally new souls.
