[network] @LELRIC; audio; night 242 [open]

[armoured]

Uh, hey everyone.

[Someone sounds sort of sheepish, mostly to hide the distress that comes from being on the receiving end of being revived.]

I wish I could say that I'd died doing something really worthwhile to help out, but I didn't, it was an anomaly. But I'm-- I'm okay now, I can't even figure out what I've lost. I've tried thinking through all my life but none of my memories seem to be gone, and I've still got all my senses, and I still look like me. I'm kind of scared that there isn't a cost, that would mean they're getting more powerful. Maybe they even have a bigger stone? Maybe they've sacrificed more people?!

[There's a brief pause, and then a more subdued voice continues.]

Okay, so-- maybe I figured it out after all, please forget what I said then. I didn't mean to talk about it so publicly where anyone could hear, especially not when the Admin really might be using philosopher's stones to resurrect people!

[Damn it! Again!]

I mean... I don't think I can lie, and it's like I'm just speaking without getting to think about it first, which is really awkward! What if I end up having a conversation with someone and I don't want to say something to them, and it comes out anyway? What if I tell Steph that I think she's really pretty? OH! Oh no...

[ Cue some laughter on this end. ]

Wow, you presented that in the worst way possible, didn't you?

You want me to distract anyone away from something they're asking about, you just let me know.

[ This is good. ]

What's a philosopher's stone and what does that have to do with sacrifices?

Philosopher's stone? Like Harry Potter? [He wouldn't know this except England has complained about the translation before.]

[Davesprite has been in a process of gradually losing his shit all day, all in the process of turning back into a monster. But he has his hands, they work, and Al is back from dying with a loss he knows something about.]

Way to scare the hell out of me right when I get back, man. Your name on the obituary nearly gave me a heart attack.

... Uh, maybe stay off the network until your loss goes away, though. [ Sorry, sorry! Clint's laughing a bit at that last part. ] You okay otherwise? For real, not just - wait, I shouldn't ask you that since you have to answer.

Uh.

[ Steph's too glad to see him alive not to laugh over this. And I mean... she had her suspicions. Or rather, she had a crush a while back and some people have said some things that made her think maybe it wasn't so one-sided. ]

Aw, don't be shy! I know I'm pretty.

[ Jim is currently hiding from his friends out of fear that he is permanently turning into an anomaly.

Dealing with philosopher's stone is a little beyond him right now.

Doesn't mean he's going to let certain things pass. ]

You should absolutely tell Steph she's pretty.
