Fifty-sixth rebirth [Video]

[The video feed starts with showing Cross Church- or at least, what used to be the church. The roof has all but caved in, splintered, rotting wood jutting out at every angle, stained glass windows shattered under the strain, the foundations beginning to splinter. Clearly, tragically, unsafe ( Read more... )

[This must be one of the priests.]

I can lend a hand.

Oh- thank you.

[He doesn't know her. Why was she offering to help? Religious reasons, maybe.]

I really appreciate it.

We're all trapped on this rock, right? Might as well lend a hand when people ask for it.

[There's a warm smile attached to the statement, but she does honestly look sad at the church. Jo may not be strictly religious, but a church is always a safe haven. Especially when you're running from evil sadistic demons and you need a place to stay.]

I'm Jo.

Yuca Collabell. It's a pleasure.

[He smiles kindly at her.]

Though it's looking like we may have to rebuild entirely- a lot of work, I'm afraid.

That wood is rotted. It needs to be burnt and rebuilt.

[He sounds sympathetic, at least. If not a bit tired. But Iroh is back in town, so at least he's in a good mood.]

I don't know- I thought that the angels would be able to reverse the rotting.

[With Zuko, he lets the mask slip a little- looking weary, rather than concerned.]

They're busy blowing each other up.

[Ugh, Zuko is so over that ridiculous bullshit.]

I wouldn't count on them to fix a church.

No, you're right.

[That is more than a trace of bitterness there, Zuko.]

Rather what I expected, from beings like them.

[ video ] that awkward moment when two psychopaths pretend to be so saintly~ jimwillfixit July 5 2011, 16:32:26 UTC
[ Jim's face flashes on the screen - was that concern? He's biting his lip. In the corner of the screen, one can see his recently bandaged hand. ]

Oh, I'm so sorry... Do you mind if I can help? I mean, I'm not that good on woodwork and everything, but I think I can do something...

[ video ] I am so looking forward to their cr, omg neverquitedies July 5 2011, 16:38:58 UTC
Really- any help would be appreciated. I'll see if I can cook something up to feed people who'd like to help.

I'll try and think of something. Where exactly is the church?

It's at [x,y]. It will sort of be arranged as a 'come when you have time' ordeal. I don't want to put anyone out.

Just- let me know in advance when you're coming so I can be there?

I'll help!

[It's quick, no hesitation at all.]

Thank you, Negi.

[He smiles.]

Do you think your magic could help with the rotted wood?

Well, I'm sure I can find some way to fortify it... I can probably manipulate a strengthening spell to work on inanimate objects. I think Edward or Al may be the best way to go, as far as full repairs go. But I can reach the higher places with my staff!

Oh- that's a good idea. Maybe Alphonse can separate the water from the wood.

[Thoughtful!]

It has been. What sort of tests do you want?

Controlled test subjects. Last time, the problem with them was that they weren't- focused enough. They simply functioned as wild beasts. I want to try to integrate a higher level of intelligence in them.

[A pause.]

But it has to be very, very discreet. Nobody can find out until we're ready- I'm sure I don't have to explain why.

They need to be able to keep themselves longer than the old ones, then. Instead of mutating to death so quickly, if the reaction is prolonged- if nothing else, it would make it easier for them to remember orders.

...We can try containing them to my house, at least to start. Nemu and I can defend against them- once there's enough progress with their intelligence, we'll find some way to give them more room.

Good. I want to look at the cellular constructs of the animals as they mutate- find out exactly how the virus effects it. So that, with any luck, we'll be able to reduce it.

Can I come over? I'll try to catch a dog or something to work with.
