49th Ressurection

[Oh, a zombie plague? Thanks, Mayfield! Theo here is a very, very talented nercomancer, and has been dying (no pun intended) for a chance like this. Mayfield isn't a very conducive place to exercise his gifts, and now it's provide for him tons of undead he can have complete control over.

On Sunday and Monday, Theo will be just messing around with the zombies. Making them do stupid stuff, seeing how far he can exercise his control over them, how much energy it takes, what he can do. Never let it be said that Theo was anything but a careful, thorough spellcaster. He takes it very seriously, and it pays.

He'll even be setting up a game with them. You will find him sitting at the high school baseball field, having the zombies playing a rousing game while he sits in the stands, controlling the spells, laughing and having a grand old time. His crows are with him, cawing cheers with him.]


C'mon! Just cuz you're dead doesn't mean you can't pitch better than that. What, afraid your arm might fall off? Put some elbow grease into it!

[Did I mention he's been drinking too? Though that might be obvious at this point.]

---

[By Tuesday and Wednesday though, Theo will be... degenerating. Slipping away. Simply put, the boy is crazy. Power and magic tends to quickly go to his head, and he goes overboard. That's how he got himself killed back home in the first place.

He'll be getting more sadistic with his toying, doing violent things with the infected people. Turning them on each other or people in the streets, running them off of buildings or into cars, using them as weapons against anyone who tries to stop him. He's crazy and dangerous. Coming after him at this point means you run the risk of being injured or killed. He's in his element here and is going to have as much fun as he can while it lasts!]

---

[As far as his not!family, as long as they stay inside, they're in the safest house in town. Theo warded the hell out of that house over a year ago against an attack just like this, and nothing undead that Theo doesn't want there won't be making it past the yard without being incinerated by the spell. Theo will return on occasion, though. He needs spell components, and the main one for control of the undead is human ashes. The smoke and the smell from the yard of 337 Brady Lane is a disturbing sign that something is up, if anyone cares to investigate.]

You better back off, asshole, don't think I can't take you down!

[Up goes the forcefield. There's a rush of energy and air as it forms around Theo, but it's invisible.

He can see it, but it's also stationary. He can't move from it now. Oh well.]

[And Death steps through it. He is more real then magic.]

OH. I'M QUITE SURE YOU CAN'T.

[What the shit

Theo stumbles back awkwardly from Death, a mix of anger and horror on his face.]


Fuck off! This is Mayfield! I don't know who the fuck you think you are, but you're the same as everyone else here!

I AM DEATH.

AND WHILE THIS IS NOT MY JURISDICTION SO TO SPEAK. I WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO CONTINUE MISHANDLING THE DEAD LIKE THIS.

[Oh hey look a force spell directed at you

Oh hey look a force spell going right past you

Well crap. Theo keeps scrambling back but he's not about to give in yet. Even through his drunken state, an idea hits him.

First things first.]


Death... right, sure. Of course. Fucking Mayfield!

I don't care. I never get to do shit in this town and now this is going on. I'm gonna do whatever the fuck I want.

[Time to start casting a spell as he backs up, keeping a wary eye on Death. A big spell.]

SO BE IT.

[Death moves forward, scythe in hand.]

[Magic may not effect you directly, Death, but that doesn't mean it can't indirectly do things to you.

Like when that big force spell warps the gravity around him, collapsing the pavement under his feet, and brings down several nearby objects; a street lamp, a mail box, part of a wall of the nearby building. Not waiting to see if it worked or letting it catch up to him, Theo is going to try and make a break for it.]

[Yes, just a bit. He get's hit a few times...ow. However not for long....

Death is now standing in front of you. You know what Death is also more real then? The laws of reality.

With an experts eye he raises the scythe and goes to sever the soul from the body.]

ONE LAST CHANCE sob

[HOLY SHIT.

Theo tries to scramble back, practically growling at him when that scythe swings down. He's a fighter till the very end.]

[You run into a few of those on the job. However, the blade slices through the air, gleaming blue as the finely sharpened blade cuts the very particles in the air.

When a soul is cut, the body will fall, leaving the ghostly figure of the person for a few moments before they fade away. They tend to complain a lot.]

[The ghost will continue to glare at Death for his last remaining moment.]

I hope you don't think this is over!

OF COURSE NOT. THINGS ARE NEVER THAT EASY.
