...either I've forgotten what a cold feels like or this is some super-cosmic cold out to kill me.

No kidding. I never thought immortality was the kind of thing that would just disappear.

Did you do anything weird lately? Like deity trades?

[sometimes_boe]

[sometimes_boe]

[negativegate]

Yeah. It does sound pretty weird.
