Ninth Incision - At least I'm not dead. Again.

[healforscience]

[Medic was passed out for--how long? Was he droned? He doesn't remember doing anything to deserve it. No really, he'd remember killing people, brutally mutilating someone, or at least getting a parking ticket, but he really doesn't think he did.
He's pretty positive that for once in his life, he'd been behaving. Unless you count hoarding those dead

WHERE IN GOD'S NAME HAVE YOU BEEN?

[healforscience]

If I knew, don't you think zhat I vould tell you, dummkopf?

...I 'ave a bad feelink zhat I vas droned or zomething.

[unless_itsafarm]

DOC YOU ARE SOMEHOW SMARTER THAN I AM AND YET I KNEW THAT BEFORE YOU DID. DO YOU SEE THE PROBLEM HERE?

[healforscience]

Zhat is not as easy to figure out vhen you suddenly vake up in zhe mornink und two months heff passed, dummkopf!

[filtered]

[muffled_noises]

Doc, you're alright!

...Yeah, there's sort of a ceasefire. Kind of. So long as they leave me the hell alone, I won't kill them. Better keep their hands off of you, too. You have to remember, though, we're better armed than they are.

[healforscience]

For zhe most part, ja.

Und I am fine vith any sort of zhey-don't-kill-us-we-don't-kill-zhem truce, zhe respawn here is too slow, und I don't heff zhe equipment to vork zhe same vay I do back at zhe base. It vould be a pain.

[muffled_noises]

Good...you had me worried.

Well...They start anything, I'm burning them all. Just so you know ahead of time.

[He chuckles.]

I vouldn't expect anything less from you, Herr Flammenwerfer.

Und zhere is no need to vorry about me. I may not heff mein weapons, but zhere is quite a stock of dangerous things from zhe 'ospital in mein house.

[freakinblur]

[flatly] So. RED Doc, huh.

[healforscience]

...Scout. Seems zhat you are stuck here too, hm?

[freakinblur]

Unfortunately. Geez, how many 'a ya REDs gonna show up? This is friggin' crazy. At this rate we may as well rebuild tha bases 'r somethin'.

[healforscience]

[He chuckles.]

You know vhat? I vouldn't mind it. Between zhe two teams, we could give whoever iz in charge of zhis town a massive headache und several million in property damages.

[akaba_ookami]

Respawn system? Are you saying people can come back from the dead here?

[She is BRAND NEW and people have not been informative. Forgive her.]

[healforscience]

Vell, if you die, you vake up in your bed zhe next mornink as if nothing 'appened, so...ja.

[akaba_ookami]

What?! What kind of magic can do that?! I've heard of people fighting their way out of Hell, but just...popping back like nothing happened?

[healforscience]

In zhis place, death is not permanent. Ach, I do not even think zhat it is actual death. It iz too clean, too fake. Perheps it is more like evading death.

[angelic_meister]

What do you mean by a 'respawn system'?

[healforscience]

Vell, zhe fact zhat if you die here you vake up in your bed zhe next day 'as led me to believe zhat zhis town 'as a respawn system. Zhe concept is zhat it keeps you from stayink dead.

[angelic_meister]

People come back from the dead?! But that's impossible!

[healforscience]

Zhat is how it verks in my world, ja. Und you can go through zhe system many times, it seems.
