This one just focuses on the God of Fear and Hunger... not sure why this one decided to follow me here, but, hey. I'll take reading material where I can get it. People might get the creeps so, don't go spreading around what it's made of... okay?

[ she smiles a little. ]

You have to believe in the gods at least a little bit when you work with the occult, when you can tap into magic. So in my own way. Yes.

[bookpapers]

[he makes a little zippy motion over his lips, nerd, and then blinks]

Magic like 'necromancy'?

[REAL? REAL NECROMANCY?]

[engraven]

[ she looks pleased. and then just laughs a little. ]

Says it right there in my profile. I'm not going to play coy when everyone here's reading up on me same as anyone else.

But yes. Exactly like necromancy.

[Lavi looks at her anew, the expression in his eye not really so much suspicion as it is just looking at her, observing. and still curious too,]

Because you have someone you wanna bring back? Or is it just an academic kinda interest?

[engraven]

Academic interest mostly. What you raise is more of... a ghoul. Not a perfect product... they aren't the same as when they died.

If anything... it's a way of surviving when you're woefully out-numbered.

[bookpapers]

[oh hm. It sounds like the type of scenario that would happen in a war — the need for more bodies just for a chance at survival.

How often does that happen to you?

[engraven]

[ haha... war... sure does fucking happen... doesn't it. ]

... If I had to say, a little too often the past couple days before I got here.

Otherwise, not usually.

[bookpapers]

[IT DOES YEAH!!!!]

Sounds like a story.

[but instead of looking at her with his big ole curious eye, his glance is more sympathetic.]

It's just been one thing after another for you, huh?

[WAR (?) AND THEN MG?]

[engraven]

You could say that, but it's been that way for a lot of people.

[ his (singular) curious eye. she just tilts her head a little bit. ]

Just... glad to get a bit of a breather, even if it means being another stupid sacrifice.

[bookpapers]

Another...

[MARINA... he's so sorry]

Think you deserve a real breather after we get out of here. A whole vacation.

[engraven]

This'll just have to be good enough! The company's not half bad to start.

[ she gives him a little smile at the corner of her mouth ]

[bookpapers]

[at that he grins back at her,]

Are ya saying I'm nicer than a ghoul...?

[engraven]

I mean, yeah, I can't have a conversation with 'em, that's for sure. And they're not as... put together. In fact, they are very much falling apart most of the time.

[bookpapers]

[not his flirting falling flat.... though that would be more normal than it going through,

luckily, he seems to also be into this subject too]

How do you raise 'em in the first place?
