16th Resurrection - No Place Like Home

[sanctus_dei]

[Theo wakes up back in Mayfield, and he's not sure if he's relieved or not. Being still alive, that was good. Still possessing the hastily-attached hand given to him by Fran, not so good. The stitches were red and irritated, starting to look infected. Wires poked in and out of the skin in an effort to replace nerve function. But it didn't work.

After Westport, Mayfield returned his collection of spell books. They were back again, so maybe...

Theo quickly went outside to check the mail. Sure enough, there was an envelope in the mail box with his name on it. Inside was just a card with an arcane inscription on it.

It was a spell for raising the dead.

Grinning, Theo sauntered back inside, and headed straight to his study. Taking one of the books off the shelf, he picked out a simple spell he could cast without any components. A few words in Latin, a few hand gestures, and suddenly all the light in the room was dampened, as if it was suddenly sucked away.

A small light did appear after a moment - the lighting of a match for a cigarette. Theo chuckled.]

About damn time.



[Better keep it under wraps for now though. For now, time to get this hand fixed. Healing spells were too difficult for him, so better get it fixed the old-fashioned way. Time for the phone!]

I don't know where that insane blonde scientist is, but she did a number on my hand, and now I'm some sort of... science experiment gone wrong. And before this thing gets infected and fucking kills me slowly, I'd rather have this taken care of. Any doctors out there up for a challenge?

I was a doctor for a week!

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

...somehow I don't think that makes you qualified to practice medicine.

[lasersallover.livejournal.com]

Sure it does!

[she stayed in a holiday inn express]

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

No, it doesn't. Not in my book. Do you know of any actual doctors?

_{[I lol'd]}

[lasersallover.livejournal.com]

I'm definitely a real one so other ones don't matter!

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

I'm sure just as good at being doctor as you are at being a mechanic.

[teacup-parry.livejournal.com]

Sadly, I don't have any healing magic regained this time around.

I could offer a fast, painless death if you'd rather wake up the next day good as new.

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

I figured that might be the only option here. That damn woman sewed someone else's hand when mine got destroyed. I don't even know where she got it, but then again, pretty much everyone lost something at that goddamn factory.

[teacup-parry.livejournal.com]

I take it the outcome of the surgery was unsatisfactory.

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

Considering it's infected? And has fucking wires sticking in it? Yeah. "Unsatisfactory".

[teacup-parry.livejournal.com]

Well, as I said, I can offer a painless death. Unless anybody here can offer regenerative magic, it would be the only way to restore your hand.

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

I'll call you if I decide to take you up on that offer. Mostly since it's my dominant hand, too.

[saviorofkorugar.livejournal.com]

I can have a look at it if you'd like.

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

Are you an actual doctor?

[saviorofkorugar.livejournal.com]

Yes. Though the town hasn't sent me back my medical license or diploma yet, so you're going to have to take my word at face value.

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

Already you sound more official than anyone else I talked to. [Read: Marisa is not a doctor. Goddamnit.]

Well where are you? Wait till you get a load of this thing. Might not be a lot you can do anyway.

[saviorofkorugar.livejournal.com]

I'm currently at Dr. Crane's medical practice on (whatever street it's on).

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

Great. Thanks.

[He'll show up, and show you the hand. It looks like how it's described above. Pretty ugly.]

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Theo! You lived! Hurray!

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

[....No one has ever been so excited over Theo being alive before.]


...Yeah. Barely. I still feel like I was hit by a train repeatedly, and I've got someone else's hand where mine used to be. Gonna be dead soon anyway if I don't get it fixed.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

[Ken is always relieved when his friends make it through traumatizing experiences]

Don't worry Theo...we'll get it fixed. You'll see.

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

Well the worse that can happen is that I die again. I should wake up the next day in one piece then.

[He certainly felt like it. He may have finally gotten a full night's rest after a week, but he had this infected attached limb along with all the suffering he went through during the event.]

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

I'm sad to say that you're right about that. [Ken sighs quietly, Soviet Mayfield was no picnic for him either]

Theo... I... I'm sorry I couldn't do more for you there.

In retrospect it was dumb, but I'll run with it

[relaxiamadoctor.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, I had inferior equipment and wasn't in the best state of mind either. I shouldn't have attempted the surgery. I would like to make it up to you if I can~

If I didn't have to ru with it if I didn't want to ;D

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

You can start by never touching me again.
