Video/spam (backdating to the start of the feels flood.)

 [Faith's head was still spinning from her discussion with Wanda as she made her way back toward her rooms. When she'd accepted a job as a warden, she hadn't even thought about...

...Getting the cops off her back; doing some good; getting out of her dinky little apartment? It had seemed like enough. If she'd known about B, she might have asked for a little more  - but she had never even thought that...

She hadn't thought people could be brought back; that was supposed to be impossible. Basic rule of existence, right? 'Cept Wanda said otherwise; and she didn't think the girl was lying.]


[Public video/spam]

Someone wanna tell me how I get a person brought back t-


The flood's hit is a bit of a shock, stopping her mid sentence as she gets her first taste of emotions; she glances up and down the hall, suddenly on guard.]




((OOC: Been planning this a while, but got swamped. DX My monday's going to be hellish, too, but tuesday should see me mostly back. :) ))

[Rorschach trusts that the absence of video will minimize the effects of the flood; it makes sense, if you can't see the person on the other side, you can't transmit to them every little feeling you get.

...That's the theory, at least. Unfortunately, it really doesn't.]

Back to what?

[Regret, disgust, uncertainty. Hopelessness and melancholy that bleed into everything. A forced apathy blanketing over all of it, trying to crush it. Faint curiosity.]

[Audio]

[hungryanhorny]

[For his part, Rorschach is treated to a hefty dose of hope, worry, fear, self-hatred, and - suddenly - confusion; this is the first flood where she's actually been herself for it, and she still hasn't quit grasped what's going on.]

Life.

You feel that, or am I just going crazy?

[Audio]

[wemaketheworld]

[Fortunately (or unfortunately, for the conversation) he's only one way; a transmitter, not a receiver, so she gets a blank look, although some of the more negative emotions fade away a little in favor of distracting conversation, curiosity working its way a little further ahead than the rest. It's a puzzle, of a sort.]

Barge tends to reanimate as a rule. Die here, or during port, doesn't last long.

No. Not going crazy though. Just a flood.

Re: [Audio]

[hungryanhorny]

What? Am I gonna turn into someone else? [That takes momentary precedence over her question - though only momentary. This is a little too important for anything short of another Apocalypse to distract her from; and considering how dime a dozen those have been, that's pretty debatable.]

[Audio]

[wemaketheworld]

[Confusion; it doesn't follow, as far as he's concerned.]

Don't always change shape during floods. Sometimes just thinking. Perception.

...Or life.

[Audio]

[hungryanhorny]

...I'll keep that in mind. [She files it away - but she's a little more nervous about asking her next question; which translates to trying to act all the more relaxed about it.]

...What about people off the boat? They ever get reanimated?

[Audio]

[wemaketheworld]

Can if part of deal.

[...Theoretically, anyway.]

[Audio]

[most_feared]

[That does not sound promising.]

You need some help?

Re: [Audio]

[hungryanhorny]

Y-yeah... [She's a little shaken by the flood, but this is important.] You offering?

[Audio]

[most_feared]

I am. [He's debating putting it on a private channel.] What is it that you need?

[Audio]

[hungryanhorny]

...Anyone ever make a second deal with the admiral? [She hates saying it - like she's asking for a handout. But she hadn't really considered anything beyond getting the cops off her ass when she came on board - and now that she's finding out what others have asked for instead...

There's someone she'd very much like back from the grave.]

[Audio]

[most_feared]

He'll only fill one deal at a time, but I'm on my second one and I know for sure the first worked out.

[Audio]

[hungryanhorny]

Yeah? [Now that she's getting information, she's working extra hard to keep her voice casual; nothing special about this request, just... looking for information. She doesn't like to let people see this particular pain of hers unless there's a reason.] How's that work? Fulfilling one deal, getting another?

[Audio]

[most_feared]

Pretty much. I graduated one guy. I just gotta graduate the next one.

[twoheadsofcabbage]

Back to...?

[Charlie is leaning back against the black leather padded headboard of his and Scrad's bed. He's still annoyed at his other half, but there's a hint of desire in there too. Somebody likes you, Faith.]

[Video]

[hungryanhorny]

Life. [The word's terse; this is so not what she needs - right when she sees a way out... she's having trouble sorting out what emotions are hers, and what aren't right now - though she can't imagine what it's like for him. He at least doesn't have two heads...]

Heard they do that around here.

[Video]

[twoheadsofcabbage]

[Oh Faith. You are confused. Luckily, Charlie's larger but not better half has gone to sleep and won't be bothering either of them.]

Reeeeeeally. Who'd you hear that from?

[Video]

[hungryanhorny]

Wanda. Girl with the whole red motif? [She shrugs, self consciously.] Few others, too.

Re: [Video]

[twoheadsofcabbage]

How specific about it were they? And I'm not even talking zombies; there are way more complications you could run into.

[Video]

[hungryanhorny]

Hey - I just got to graduate an inmate, and make another deal with the Admiral, right? [How hard can it be? Don't answer that.]

[Video]

[twoheadsofcabbage]

Yeah, but what if whoever you're looking to make un-dead isn't into it? And unless they died, like, yesterday, they're gonna have missed out on a lotta stuff. Maybe even everybody they know is now way older than they remember.

What's this deal you got now, anyway?

laate, video

[darknessb4me]

To life?

[This is a snap. He's projecting, at the moment, mostly a lot of bitterness.]

You don't.

Neah. Just in time to add to the confusion!, video

[hungryanhorny]

...Not what I heard. [She's eyeing this new comer somewhat suspiciously.]

\o/

[darknessb4me]

What did you hear?

Re: \o/

[hungryanhorny]

Just gotta make another deal with the Admiral dude, right? [Which meant finding an inmate; and graduating him.

And then finding a second inmate...]
