1; Mostly Dead

[only1500]

So this is death? Or the afterlife? Underworld? Hm? I think I'm lost for words, but only because I don't know of one that combines 'dull' and 'irksome' as well as I'd like.

Hm...

I wonder if Bartimaeus is here. That'd be fitting.

Queezle?!

Perhaps the word you're searching for is tedious?

[only1500]

I knew it.

Well, that'd sum up the ticking quite nicely, if anything.

[djinni_tricks]

Oh yes, the ticking. That goes away once you have someone to be around.

[only1500]

Then I'll have to get out of the underground before I lose my mind...

You been here long, Bartimaeus?

[djinni_tricks]

Have fun with that~

Hm... depends on how you define long. I've been here for a few months.

[only1500]

I will~

Ugh. A few months under the heel of Mandrake?

[djinni_tricks]

There are no resitrictions here, Queezle. Complete freedom, no punishment spells or pentacles. There are a few drawbacks, but compared with the freedom, it's not so bad.

[only1500]

Well, now my day's really starting to look up.

Drawbacks being?

[djinni_tricks]

Well, I'm not sure if it will work in the same way for you, but I need to sleep to replenish my essence and sometimes that isn't enough and then there are the curses which happen periodically.

And of course then there are the large quantities of humans~

[only1500]

We'll see how being dead filters into the equasion, then.

That usually goes without saying~?

[djinni_tricks]

Of course~

And, since Kitty extended the offer to stay with us, want me to meet you somewhere so I can show you the way.

[only1500]

That would be nice, yes. I'm by the rather demented carousel at the moment...

[djinni_tricks]

I'll be there soon, then~
