sanctus_dei | 5th Resurrection

[My, my. That's a large delivery sent to 337 Brady Lane! Several small, heavy crates are dropped off sometime early in the morning for one Mr. Theodore Crawford.

Theo comes out to look at them, frowning, cigarette in one hand and a mug of coffee in the other.]

What the shit is this. KAY!? Who the HELL would send us stuff in the mail?

[Sure, he's paranoid, but he's also morbidly curious. He pops the lid on one of them to take a look. His eyes grow wide, and - miracle of miracles, Mayfield - he smiles. He grins ecstatically, holding up old, worn books. He laughs. They were the one he worked so hard to ~~steal~~ get, only a few months before he was brought to Mayfield. Several dozen rare spell books.] Unbe-fuckin-lievable!

[He flips one open frantically. He finds the easiest, stupidest spell he can find, one that doesn't require any components. Something even he could handle. Holding up the book, he recites something in Latin, and gestures with his free hand.

Nothing. Grr. He tries again. Zip. GRR. One more time. Zilch! He throws the book down angrily and storms back inside, grabbing the phone.

Call to everyone. Yep, everyone. He speaks quickly, almost growling. He is LIVID.]

Is this someone's idea of a JOKE?!! To send me all these books like this?! Don't you know that these are FUCKING USELESS IF I STILL CAN'T CAST?! Real goddamn funny, Mayfield! Don't think I won't figure out a way to use them. Just you fucking wait.

[The phone is slammed down.]

Huh. Figures. I'm sure that's exactly what'll happen. Probably because they know what's coming when I DO get it back.

Oh? Just what kind of power do you normally wield?

Necromancy.

Interesting... I knew a necromancer. He was quite powerful, too.

Well, now you know two of them. {You can almost hear the grin on that one.]

That's not quite true at the moment thanks to Mayfield, hm?

Considering that, in most worlds, the general populous tends to dislike necromancers... I have to wonder why you'd freely admit to your specialty, especially when you currently don't even have the means to use it. Or do you happen to come from one where Necromancy is acceptable by the public?

You're a smart girl. As a matter of fact, most guilds where I'm from outlaw its study completely. That doesn't stop some people, and especially not me. Like I give a rat's ass what the guilds think.

To be honest, what can people do here to stop me? Yeah, Mayfield took it from me, but maybe the WILL give it back to me someday. What is anyone here going to do about it?

While death isn't an issue in Mayfield, there are certainly other methods that one could employ to neutralize whatever threat one may present.

.... well let them try whatever they want. The worse they can do is kill or drone me, and as far as I know, neither is permanent.

Hm... I suppose, now that I think about it, nailing you to a table would only work for three days or so before you're forced to go to work.

Not that it is something I would do to you, but... well, it's something to keep in mind in case the other residents of the town take offense to you.

Ha, I was gonna ask if this was some kind of threat. Trust me, I'm not worried about the peons in this town.

I don't have any reason to threaten you. I'm not one to look down on those who practice necromancy.

Confidence is good, but you should be careful not to be overconfident.

I know what I'm capable of. Nothing to worry about.

It's also important to know what others are capable of.
