[Wednesday morning is a particularly warm day in Mayfield. With the sun in the sky, it seems like the perfect time to go for a swim down at the rec center. Luckily for you, although the pool has been closed off the past two days, it seems as though this morning, someone has left the door unlocked

[It is a body.
...

Yuki drifts over to the pool and stares for a moment or two before drifting over to the place where supplies were kept. She rummages around for a moment or two before retrieving a round, yellow floaty, which she proceeds to throw into the pool and sit upon.

...The wind picks up and blows her towards the man. She will grab him by the hand and pull him back towards the edge, paddling slightly.]

[mayfield_mods]

[The man's hand is as cold and lifeless as a corpse's.

Until it shifts in hers.]

[bogusmagicker]

[She does not seem especially surprised. With unnatural strength, Yuki first removes herself from the pool, then lifts the man bodily out of the water without breaking a sweat. She'll lay him down by the edge and begin to run through the data comprising his body, searching for injuries or distinguishing marks to match to her internal database. She'll speak simultaneously.]

You are conscious?

[mayfield_mods]

[The injuries are immediately obvious. Half of his face is gone, blown away by a bullet to his eye. There's also blood all over his police uniform, which seems to have been made for a much larger, fatter man. Although his mangled face is unrecognizable, he does carry a badge identifying him as Officer Grady.

There's no response to her question, just a harsh hacking sound as he chokes up water, which should be answer enough. How he's conscious is another question entirely, as with the extent of his wounds, this man should clearly not be alive.]

[bogusmagicker]

[Becoming aware of this anomaly, Yuki hesitates for a moment in deciding the correct course of affairs. In the end, she decides the use of her processing powers will not be significantly drained if she runs this program. Her mouth moves rapidly for a moment or two as she murmurs her bogus magic to provide some measure of healing.]

Regeneration and fabrication of tissue to sustain life is underway.

Evan Olney.

In providing Samantha Achewood with the relief she desired, you disobeyed the orders provided to you. This was your punishment. How is it that life is retained?

[mayfield_mods]

[The healing doesn't work at all. Evan laughs harshly.]

Nice try, but don't bother. Can't you tell when a man is dead?

[bogusmagicker]

[Yuki will accept this with the blink of an eye.]

Then, the only relief I can provide you is of that given to Samantha Achewood. Inform me if it is desired.

...Are you willing to aid us, now?

[mayfield_mods]

You can't give me that. You don't have that power. I go when they decide to let me go.

[His lips curl away from bloodstained teeth in something between a grimace and a grin.]

And why the hell would I wanna do that?

[bogusmagicker]

...Understood.

Because you are dying. Because they no longer have use for you. Because you once fought against them as well.

[mayfield_mods]

Don't pretend you know my life story just from a few pathetic scraps of info. You know nothing.

Let's get this straight, girl. I don't give a shit about any of you people or your pathetic attempts to escape this town. None of this will matter to me soon anyway.

[bogusmagicker]

That is what I seek to rectify.

Then, is the possibility of revenge a motivation? Alternatively, relief for others still trapped within that you may care for.

[mayfield_mods]

Yeah? Too bad. I'm not looking to spill my sob story. You lot can just go on thinking I'm an evil bastard for all I care.

You just don't get it, do you? I. Don't. Give. A. Shit. About any of you. And even if I told you anything, you'd still be just as stuck here as you are now.

[bogusmagicker]

Whether or not you care for us is inconsequential. I am aware that there is nothing to escape to, and further aware that the matter of our existence is in question. What I indicate are those like Samantha Achewood and the librarian whom you formerly knew.

Your sentence construction is odd: 'Even if you told me anything, I would remain stuck here'. However, the goal at present is simply to collect data and information. That is what is sought.

[mayfield_mods]

You really think you can use Samantha and Annie against me? Try again. Or don't, this is getting boring.

All right, here's some data for you - fuck off.

[bogusmagicker]

Against?...

[There will be a pause for a moment or two as Yuki lifts her head to the sky. She seems to be processing something.]

I see. No further inquiries will be made at this time.

I am informed that it is undesirable for a human to die alone. In that you had shown kindness in her final hours, so you are deserving of a kindness.

[With that, Yuki will pull out a book and quietly begin to read next to his battered body.]

[mayfield_mods]

[He might be missing one eye, but that doesn't stop him from rolling the other one.]

Oh, so you're that type. The dumbass who overanalyzes every word someone says. I almost wish I could stick around just to see how funny it'll be when you completely fuck it up.

A kindness would be to do what I say so my last moments won't have to be spent with one of you idiots.
