sixteenth soul ;; audio

[soulcontracts]

I've read the notes I've left, and I remember - being here, if not the details of the place and those I'd met. It completely dismisses the original theory I had about the nature of Adstringendum, but I suppose I'll just have to come up with another

[Raven almost has to pinch herself to make sure she's not imagining that. The world is full of surprises they say. But she'd never thought she'd see the day when Johannes Cabal thanked her.]

You're welcome.

[And her look is slightly cautious. She's kinda expecting him to have something to ask her.]

[Nope. Nothing to ask, nothing to add. He simply stares a little blankly at her, as if asking if she needs anything else.]

[She's about to cut the feed when, on a second thought, she turns back to him.]

The graves are empty. The tombstones only seem to trigger visions or memories.

[Read: No need for you to go outside to try and retrieve a corpse.]

[Johannes gives her a hollow, constricted smile.]

I know. I've checked.

[to_the_absolute]

What can you make with a lot 'a hearts?

[soulcontracts]

[Blandly:]

I hear they're a delight if you candy them.

[to_the_absolute]

Really? I bet they're pretty healthy too.

[soulcontracts]

High in iron. Good for the blood.

[Barely addressing her.]

I'm lookin' to trade for a knife; somethin' with a sturdy blade, doesn't hafta be too long.

There a size requirement on that heart you're lookin' for? I kill rabbits pretty often, but I'm willin' to go hunt something bigger if you can make the trade.

I have a knife that would suit your needs. Rabbits are too small, however - I could snare them myself should the need arise.

[greatcuppajoe]

All right. How big are you lookin' for, and are we talkin' something from a mammal or would one a those big lizards work just as well?

[audio; private]

[soulcontracts]

Find something mammalian out in the wastes. I don't go out there. [Mostly because he would be eaten.] If you absolutely can't, two lizard hearts would be less than ideal, but sufficient.
