[ closed ] ETHICAL NECROMANCY

[alldenim]

who: Barry Bluejeans (alldenim) & Misty Day (mistyday)
what: Discussions of ethical necromancy
when: waves hand vaguely
where: Gramarye Research
warnings: Lame Dad Alert

[ Alright, so this Misty gal wanted to meet up and talk about the finer points of necromancy huh? Fine by him! Even better that she picked his workplace. Her workplace too? They didn't really get that far in the discussion. Either way, the lobby was a pretty good place to meet when you weren't sure which way or the other and he left it at that for her. If it's about sizing him up, here's what she's gonna see:

Barry's in his early to mid fifties and gives off an intense Lame Dad vibe. He dresses in plain shoes, jeans, white t-shirt, and his red IPRE robes from his home place. He told her about the robes and jeans too. They're pretty hard to miss, even here. Him as a person? He couldn't be more gentle and warm if he was actually made of sunlight. But if you have any kind of ability to sense that kind of thing? He's not human. He's a lich - a being of pure necromantic energy and emotion barely tethered together by sheer willpower stuck back inside his own body. It's a clash to say the least. But he's also a necromancer who's afraid of the dark? So... ]

[ He offers a shrug, smiling. ]

I'm kinda unique even back home. You said you do life magic huh?

[ Please elaborate because he's a massive nerd. ]

[mistyday]

Yeah, that's what I want to talk to you about.

(If anybody will understand, it'd be a grim reaper, right?)

I can raise the dead. But not like.... zombies and shit. Really raise them.

[alldenim]

[ What the fuck. She can't be serious. He needs more info here because WHAT. ]

What like a hyper regeneration typa thing?

[ She can't mean actually bringing people to Life... ]

[mistyday]

Uh... maybe. I don't know what that means.

[alldenim]

[ How to explain this, takes him a second. ]

Do ya just heal their body super fast or do you just bring life to somethin' dead?

[ It wasn't exactly the same as some of his spells, which he never touched anyway. ]

[mistyday]

Bring them to life. I gotta perform other spells and make potions and stuff to heal them, dependin' on what it was that killed 'em. And they can't be too far gone - only a few days, otherwise they've gone beyond where I can reach them.

[ Eyeballs? Dinner plates.

Jaw? Scraping the floor. This is... next level shit. This is shit he can't even dream of. ]

B-but they're alive? Not just undead bodies zombie shamblin' [ he even holds up arms to demonstrate ] around.

You have got to show me your notes.

[ That's been his whole dream from the start! ]

My goddess is gonna kick my ass but y'know it'll be kinda worth it.

[mistyday]

[Misty blinks.]

Notes? I ain't got any notes. I just... do it. I've got the gift of resurgence.
