Please check the number and try again. If this message persists, the item has either not started and is not yet available for viewing, or has expired and is no longer available. If I buy an extra soul, how do I know it is compatible with this body? Is there some sort of dual-soul body (you know, like a dual SIM cellphone?) to which I can upgrade for a reasonable fee? If I buy the soul, will it actually be mine, or will I just have somebody else’s soul in my pocket? Can I exchange your soul at the crossroads for some sort of talent like playing the fiddle, guitar or banjo? (I’d like that), will the talent _include_ the ability to read music or will I still have to do that the old-fashioned way? ---
