[The video cuts on to a very irate looking Johannes, messily cutting the pituitary gland out of the brain of a human corpse. There are six or seven overturned vials in the background. One of them is smoking, and he fixes the PCD with a sour look as he looms over the body.]

Necromancy here works on animals.

[As if on cue, a half-rotted dog walks ( Read more... )

[Brow raaaaiise.]

There is no true death for humans here. Is it really that surprising?

[video] soulcontracts July 7 2011, 05:11:26 UTC

[He looks no less irritated.]

I've never had a way to test for sure before now.

[video] iceandivory July 7 2011, 05:13:25 UTC

Who? [His expression is tight. Say the wrong name, and you're dead.]

[video] soulcontracts July 7 2011, 05:16:06 UTC

[Instead of answering verbally, Johannes just lifts the PCD up and pulls the corpse's shoulder back, showing his face to Hitsugaya.]

Found him dead in the rubble of a building that had collapsed in the flood.

[..except the corpse is very fresh. It's one of the NPCs, no one connected to the network.]

[video] iceandivory July 7 2011, 05:19:26 UTC

...I see. And now that you know, you won't attempt such a thing again.

[video] soulcontracts July 7 2011, 05:20:51 UTC

Are you threatening me?

[Said blandly, not confrontationally.]

[video] iceandivory July 7 2011, 05:25:21 UTC

When I do threaten you, there won't be any doubt that I have.

I would prefer willing confirmation on your end.

[Johannes looks as incredulous as he ever does. Which is to say, not very, but the sentiment is still there in his expression.]

I'm going to continue my research in any way I see fit. I don't make a point of injuring people in the process, if that's what you're afraid of.

[Well. Not so much in Adstring.]

[Hitsugaya, to his credit, is still fairly reigned in. He is speaking to a professional. He will speak professionally if it's the last thing he does.]

Be careful.

...

He may wake up on the operating table.

[video] soulcontracts July 7 2011, 06:12:04 UTC

[Johannes actually snorts at that.]

I'd consider it a success if he did.

[video] iceandivory July 7 2011, 06:16:28 UTC

Then why would you complain about the animus?

[video] soulcontracts July 7 2011, 06:18:24 UTC

.. necromancy. The goal is to bring them back on my own terms, not anyone else's.

[video] iceandivory July 7 2011, 06:26:13 UTC

[In that case, Hitsugaya is of the mind that he completely missed the shinigami captain's point.]

I'd take my chances with the animus.

[He almost lets the comment go and the conversation end. He's not big on conversation, that Johannes - but instead he wipes down his knife and leans over to begin cutting somewhere off-screen.]

Necromancy here is pointless. It's unlikely I'll make any real breakthroughs with the limited resources I'm afforded, and it's similarly unlikely that I'l be able to bring home anything I do discover.

I keep practicing to keep myself sane.

[video] iceandivory July 7 2011, 23:03:04 UTC

Practice on your dogs all you wish.

[video] soulcontracts July 8 2011, 06:46:43 UTC

I have no reason to keep practicing on humans.

[Ugh, people.]
