Wait a minute…you’ve dropped me-

[Schuyler’s words stop abruptly when she sees the taxi she just stepped out of isn’t there. She’s not at the airport either and Oliver…]

Oliver?

Ollie?

[The second exclamation is a bit panicked. She whirls back around, entire body tense and on the defense. At least she can see this time]

Jack!

I'm pretty sure there's no one named Jack here. But I don't know everyone.

It really is.

I'm used to people reincarnating but...just rising from being dead?

Re: [video]

[hurricanebomber]

You mean like zombies? We've had those, during events.

I don't know? Do I mean like zombies? You're the one who knows about the revivals...and now I'm imagining tents with faith healers and bad Southern accents...

They come back as though they're just waking up from being unconscious. It's...kind of disturbing.

How do people reincarnate where you're from?

Re: [video]

[nowput_itback]

That is disturbing.

Oh...it's complicated? Not all people can do it. Just...a certain kind. They're called up via a ritual and then they're born just like anyone else. Around 15 or so they start remembering their past lives.

Are you one of those?

Re: [video]

[nowput_itback]

[He's just curious.]

Re: [video]

[nowput_itback]

Re: [video]

[nowput_itback]

Half blood.

Re: [video]

[hurricanebomber]

Half what, exactly?

Re: [video]

[nowput_itback]

Human.

You won't likely believe the other half

Re: [video]

[hurricanebomber]

Look at where I've been living for the last few months. There isn't a whole lot I'll find unbelievable at this point.

Re: [video]

[nowput_itback]

Alright...you've got a point.

Half vampire but...not like the books. And I'm not going to attack you. I'm not evil and I'm not souless.
