39th Resurrection

[sanctus_dei]

[During the last week, Theo had a nasty throwndown with Nina, and a man and woman he didn't know. He remembers killing the man, and then getting shot... and someone trying to save his life. It was all fuzzy, but he woke up in the hospital later, a hole in his chest all stitched up. The rest and IV in the hospital gave him some of his life back, after expending a lot oHe watched the Milkman's mech rampage the town from his window, and its inevitable destruction.f energy on spellcasting.

He checked himself out early when the drone doctors weren't paying attention. He heard the phone calls and saw the damage to the dairy and to the robot. He checked out Deadman's Gulch, finding not much more than some beer and a werewolf, which was something at least.

When he finally made it home again, tired, his chest aching, he figures he'd have to try and avoid Nina like the plague. Except, she's droned.]

[Phone call: filtered from usual NPCs:]

So if someone gets droned now, what do you suppose happens to them?

[Theo will be on the porch, later, if you care to talk to him face to face for some reason. He's smoking and drinking as usual, with his crows familiars who are happy to hang out with their returned master. Theo's looking more tired and pale than usual, somehow.]

[Don't mind him, just dropping by to check on his sister's drone... again.]

[He'll give him the head's up as he approaches.]

She's still droned.

[hungry-monster.livejournal.com]

[His face as normal, is unreadable. He nods.]

Thank you. I'd still like to go and see her, all the same.

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

It's your funeral. [He doesn't move, and the crows watch Johan. They've certainly been seeing a lot of this guy.]

[chaoschildofgod.livejournal.com]

I fear the same as before.

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

Going into to some crazy generator powering the town?

Ya know, I've been saying since they got here that somewhere in town they had to be using magic of insane proportions to keep this place running, but no one ever listens to me.

[chaoschildofgod.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't consider souls to be magic, although I suppose it is possible that is what controls it. But yes, I fear there may be yet another generator within town. There are other buildings, after all, we are not allowed to enter.

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

Lovely. I guess the rest of the drones souls gotta go somewhere.

[chaoschildofgod.livejournal.com]

Yes. I doubt one would make a machine without a backup.

[notsaul.livejournal.com]

They can power my fucking TV; I'm missing Dragnet.

[HEY NEW BRO :D]

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

Hnn. Really. You know it could easily be you in there powering people's TVs.

[notsaul.livejournal.com]

Uh, yeah, but it's not. So they need to get their spectral asses in gear; nothing worse than lazy ghosts.

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

It could be at any moment though. Plus it's not that they're lazy, they've been dispatched.

[notsaul.livejournal.com]

"Dispatched?" To fucking where?

[istheatmosphere.livejournal.com]

What do you mean? Does this have something to do with what was discovered in the Dairy?

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I heard the calls; vat of souls down underneath it. Doubt it's the only one since people are still droned, like one of my housemates. She just got droned, too.

[istheatmosphere.livejournal.com]

Vats of souls. As in, the souls of the people who have been droned?

[You can't see her over the phone but she is horrified]

What FOR?

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Pretty crazy, but it really doesn't surprise me at all.

I heard it was powering the town, but I think it might have been that robot.

[istheatmosphere.livejournal.com]

That's, that's unnatural!

But the dairy has been utterly destroyed. I don't suppose the souls returned to their original worlds?

[Phone]

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

What do you mean 'now'? You'll have to forgive me I got knocked out of the loop.

[Phone]

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

There was some sort of crazy machine down below the Dairy powered by the souls of droned people. chaos made a call about it. If that's true, I was wondering where people who got droned after it destroyed might go. This might mean there's more in town.

Re: [Phone]

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

W-Wh-WHAT?!

[Phone]

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

You heard me. I don't know how correct the information was since I wasn't there when it happened, and now the place is completely destroyed. How many times have I said there has to be a disgusting amount of magic must be needed to run this place? Souls would be the thing to do it.

My housemate was droned after it was destroyed, so I'm wondering what happens then.

[Phone]

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Shit, this is awful! [Now Ken is really regretting getting killed so quickly in that altercation]

What else can you tell me about it.
