39th Resurrection

[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.]

That means it was able to take your soul before it reunited with whatever force controls your world...

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

Hasn't it practically done that with everyone here? it's taken the souls of the living and the dead. I'm not the only one in this spot.

[chaoschildofgod.livejournal.com]

The living are different than the dead. At least, where I come from.

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

I suppose I wouldn't know. All I know is, I want my supposed soul staying here. If anything this only cements to me that if there is a Hell, Mayfield is it.

[chaoschildofgod.livejournal.com]

Why would you wish to stay if this were hell?

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

Where else am I gonna go?

[chaoschildofgod.livejournal.com]

Perhaps back to whatever God exists where you come from?

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

Even if I believed in Heaven, I doubt I'd be let in.

Then believe in reincarnation and the ability to atone for your acts in another life, or even in this one. You are, after all, alive here.

[He *really* does not want to start these sorts of conversations again. You can tell this from the tone of his voice.]

I don't believe in reincarnation either.

[chaoschildofgod.livejournal.com]

Is that so? That's really too bad in a lot of ways.

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

Hnn. I just can't believe in stuff like that.
