sixth soul | video

[soulcontracts]

[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.

[Brow raaaaiise.]

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

[video]

[soulcontracts]

[He looks no less irritated.]

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

[iceandivory]

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

[soulcontracts]

[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.]

[law_of_reason]

Hardly a waste, since the Animus bring people back in somewhat better condition than that.

...But it's an interesting trick nonetheless. How does it work?

[soulcontracts]

I'm not interested in the Animus bringing people back.

[But he'll stop there with a mild frown.]

Not a trick. Necromancy.

[law_of_reason]

I don't particularly care.

And yes, I heard you call it that the first time. How does it work?

[soulcontracts]

Serums. Potions. Magic. Luck.

[Johannes is no longer interested in the conversation. He is, instead, rolling the corpse over and taking a scalpel to skin, preparing to remove its liver.]

[swordsinside]

The hell are you playing at?

[soulcontracts]

Playing at?

[He flicks some brain matter off of his hand.]

[swordsinside]

Tryin' something like that on people. Ya think anyone wants to come back to life half-rotted?

[soulcontracts]

If he didn't want to be cut up, he shouldn't have died.

[... oh.]

[soulcontracts]

Herr Negi.

[He's slicing and dicing still.]

[Video]

[notamageiswear]

... why would you do that to a dog...?

[Video]

[soulcontracts]

Dog corpses are more readily available than human ones.

[hardcorecute]

[That. Is just. What. What is that.]

[Oh, he doesn't see Bubbles. He's completely oblivious to her - which is why he immediately begins harvesting the corpse's eyeballs.

He'd never do that in front of a small child.

No way.]

[ahandsomedevil]

[Luckily for Bubbles there will be a sudden hand in front of the PCD. Also an angry voice.]

Johannes, was zum Teufel machst du da?!

Mind your own business, Horst.

[And plop goes the eye onto a tray.]
