Such carelessness. It appears to be the work of an inexperienced mage, skittish and uncertain, too young and reckless to bother burying the corpses after leeching what energy he could from the finches. Though from the fact that some still survived, perhaps he was interrupted before he was allowed to finish

...why would you want to murder a bunch of little birds?
More importantly, why would I?

I can promise I won't be off'ing any tiny animals, yeah.

Black Death, that sounds like a riot; you're the guy that pops the balloon animals at parties, huh? -snerk-
But, nah, whatever, like I have anything else to do on a Friday night right now.
Better not be as lame as that Season of the Witch movie though.

Hey, I know what that is! That's the town thing where everybody got like...buried by a volcano, wasn't it? I sort of remember that from history class or something. Maybe it was from the Discovery channel, no idea.

Because it is an easy way to obtain Mana, which is the energy used to cast spells. Certainly not the only way, of course. If, at this time, you are uncomfortable with killing en masse, I will be forced to teach you other ways. However, I do expect you to open up to the idea in time.

It looks quite fascinating. A feast for the eyes, if nothing else.

You are correct. The preservation of the corpses is quite exquisite. I would enjoy a chance to view the specimens on a closer level as well.

So says the man who is afraid to learn to use the microwave.
It's easier to learn to use the microwave than to become a murderer. You go first.

It's all very gray-toned and bloody. I'm learning things about you Hector, oh yes.

You want to prod at the corpses...creepy, no surprise though. And possibly bound to get us arrested, can we avoid that? I don't have the scary glare like you do; jail = bad.
Plus wouldn't they like..fall apart if you messed with them?

Why precisely would I want to use a device that makes food tough and slimy? Life is far too fleeting to use such base technology. I do hope you'll develop some standards during your time with me.

How precisely would we be caught when the surveillance cameras are "malfunctioning?" And as for security - well, it's quite convenient that you are here, isn't it? I don't suppose you've ever played decoy before?

If something falls apart, I can simply put it back together, providing I have all the pieces.
