W4, tuesday

[recession]

[ Tuesday we are at the height of the radio tower, where Daan is fiddling around with the buttons to no avail. He makes a slight bit of a pinched face at the static and whispers. ]

...

You wouldn't happen to know how to work this thing any better, would you? Not that I'm expecting much...

[ There hasn't ever been any help so far. Don't see why we'd get any now. ]

[turbulency]

[ Stands behind him and whispers, ] Help me...

[recession]

[ Turns around and looks at him. ]

[turbulency]

[ Blinks at him.

Love? ]

[recession]

...

Can I help you?

[ He did say help me. He's like wtf is this stray thought. ]

[turbulency]

... I was just copying the radio.

[ Smiles. ]

I don't think I've ever used one though, sorry.

[recession]

Are you just playing around...?

Anyway, shame.

[ As in that's a shame, not shame on you. ]

For the amount of effort it takes to get up here, I was hoping for a bit more...

[turbulency]

[ Thinks. ]

Do you think Gale's ever seen a radio?

[ He seems nerdy enough to know what to do. ]

[recession]

...I wouldn't know. It sounds like his world operates pretty richly on magic. Don't have much of a sense of its era or year.

[ He does agree on nerdy, but he suspects it might not be a tech sort of nerdy. ]

[turbulency]

[ hums ]

What do you think about Gale and the others? What they did to Camille.

[recession]

[ I see you said I will be the bold one and set this after the reveal. Everyone else chose before. ]

...

I knew she was going to have to die eventually. We all knew it, surely. This group is largely optimistic, but not blind.

Knowing she was afflicted, she could very well kill again, and the only way to stop it was her own death.

[ Still... an assassination? And leaving her to be discovered by spiders... ]

[turbulency]

[ I'm an alpha, Lowe. ]

It was a clever way to test if dying would cure her of the possession. [ ... ] But it's kind of gross to play with someone's life like that.

[recession]

...Yeah. Maybe that's why it doesn't settle well.

[ Just because he knew it HAD to happen doesn't mean they should've secretly ganged up on her like that, maybe. Kept it in the dark for so long, and then bring her back to life? What if that didn't work, What if they'd brought her back wrong? ]

[turbulency]

[ tilts his head ]

Does that happen in your world?

[recession]

...What?

[ Wow get out of his head sir. But maybe if he feigns ignorance... ]

[turbulency]

No offence, but necromancy doesn't seem impossible in your world.

[ Cult stuff. ]

[recession]

It's not. In fact, they apparently teach it in the Ministry of Darkness and its schools.

[turbulency]

... Are you joking?

[recession]

I am not.

[turbulency]

And sometimes people come back wrong?

[recession]

...Necromancy, typically, doesn't revive people with their thoughts and the like intact. It's more like creating a ghoul.

I don't know of any examples of true resurrection.

[turbulency]

Until today.

[recession]

...Sure. Yeah.

I guess so -- looks that way so far, anyway.

[turbulency]

You don't trust it?

[recession]

It's not strictly a distrust, more than that it's a bit much to consider.
