Jauntside end Week 1 | Warning: comments will probably start talking about Atma

[blinktomissit]

Hey, so, uh... [be cool be cool] not to harsh anyone's magic school vibe or anything - how's that whole 'dark wizard' thing working out for you guys anyway? - but I've just got a uh, just a... teeny tiny question about something that you know, may have been overlooked in the whole mission statement thing that I feel like is probably worth asking a couple questions about. Nothing big, nothing big, just. You know. Wondering what the hell is up with the room full of corpses. Anyone got a uh - any ideas about that? They like [oh hey is it possible for a telepathic voice to become a bit strained and squeakier? he is sounding more and more wigged out the longer he rambles]-- spares, or something?

[OOC: Warning again! Comments may or may not end up containing Atma (cannibalism virus) explanations.]

Comments

[blinktomissit]

Out of the ginormous icebox.

Also, hey, can I just, uh... You've got some pretty sweet effects going on there. Is that - can I do that? Here, wait, lemme try. [HE'S TRYING SO HARD] OUT OF THE--oh wow okay no, wow. Wow. How do you do that?

[likescats]

IS THE ICEBOX IN THE SCHOOL?

[Wait what]

EFFECTS? I DO NOT UNDERSTAND YOUR MEANING. THIS IS HOW I ALWAYS SOUND.

[helborn]

Oh, good. It's not a great idea to have a god pay the most attention to you. Some people think it'd be great but nope.

[highsteaks]

I'm pretty sure they're Lupa's.

[flatteries]

[ That is nowhere near close to where Inigo expected that thought to be going. So there's a very instinctive-- ]

Corpses?!

[ --in reply before anything else follows, a noticable moment later. Mostly since there's about fifteen different things going through his head right now and he's not so sure where to start. ]

What would they be spares for?!

[finalizes]

In Liminal or over in the jaunt world?

[That would make a BIG difference. In case 2, he would actually be worried.

...And since we're asking about specifics:] Corpses of what species?

[...] Are they fresh?

[fruitknife]

There's some folks around on a sentient-meat diet. You gonna tell 'em they shouldn't stock up for emergencies?

[This isn't the kind of jaunt likely to have a room full of corpses on it, so Shinji's not too worried about that possibility.]

[blinktomissit]

[that's right forget the icebox]

You know, the uh, the whole... the whole... huh. Hey Barold? Barry? Barold~? Give me a second here dude, lemme just try to... try t'hook up some guy to this train of thought. Barry? Barold J. Bluejeans to thought process 6? How do you work this stuff anyway?

[grimjeaper]

Do-- do I want to know what you want from me here?

[fearinahandfulof]

They're probably made of Liminal material and some people here need to eat them to survive.

[There's a short pause.]

Why did you go in there in the first place?

[blinktomissit]

Oh hey, sweet, you're here. Can you just -- do me a favor, yeah? Just... you know that, that super creepy, appear-from-nowhere-to-ask-dudes-if-they're-scared voice? You know that one? ...Can you just like, do that one for me real quick?

[why yes, he does know exactly what he's asking for]

[grimjeaper]

...

[and so does barold]

Taako I'm not doing the lich voice.

[blinktomissit]

...Well I won't say I'm not curious about the first one now, but I think I'm gonna go ahead and say I'm querying after the corpses for this one.

[blinktomissit]

Yeah I thought not. Don't ask don't get, right? Thanks anyway.

Anyway, uh -- [how does he make sure he's thinking at the right person now this is ridiculous] -- what my, ah, friend here was supposed to demonstrate was something that's, I mean, about as close to what I'm hearing from you as I've ever heard from anything else ever. You don't happen to not cast a shadow, do you?

[grimjeaper]

Taako-- this isn't another lich, Taako, this is Death. Like, the Grim Reaper.

[As opposed to a Grim Reaper, like himself or Kravitz.]

[blinktomissit]

Cool, cool. Okay. Humor me for a second. Who, or what, is Lupa?

[blinktomissit]

...

...

...

...

...

...[can you psychic whisper he's gonna try for it] Hey. We got those records wiped, right? That whole process went through?

[blinktomissit]

[Oh, good, that shock and then kickstarted brain process is just about exactly what Taako went through upon discovering them. Thank you for being a sympathetic... ear? Brain?]

Well, look, at this point I don't think there are really many options for what a person could do with what appears to be [he has not closely investigated them] several copies of the exact same body stuffed together in a icebox except be keeping them as spares for something. Right?

[blinktomissit]

...Look, I'm gonna -- I'm gonna be honest with you here, full disclosure: I'm not sure I like where those questions are going. You got anything else for me?

[blinktomissit]

Yeah, sure, okay. [he clearly thinks you're lying to him.] Next?

[blinktomissit]

[there is a long pause, in answer to your short pause]

So that's... not a joke then, huh? The, uh. Eating them?

[finalizes]

Those questions are there because you forgot crucial information when you asked yours.

[blinktomissit]

So... You're telling me that depending on where the room is and what species the corpses are and whether they're fresh will help you narrow down exactly which pile of corpses this one is? Just---how many stacks are there?

[finalizes]

No. It will help me narrow down if it should be there and if it should worry us.

[fearinahandfulof]

Why would it be?

[Sorry, Taako - Cassandra doesn't do jokes.]
