A haunting or a corpse.

[somebadnews]

I wish you'd told me that sooner. Tracking down the body will be a lot harder now, if it hasn't already been destroyed.

[downswing]

A cadaver does not guarantee a spirit.

[somebadnews]

[ Add this to the list of grievances he has against Klaus for not being here when it's convenient. ]

We don't have time to waste waiting around for him to show himself just because we want him to. Can't you call him?

[downswing]

That is the toil of necromancers.

[somebadnews]

Is that a problem?

[downswing]

( Always, with necromancers. )


For Wei Ying's hands.

[ He's thinking of Klaus again and his success rate... assuming that's what he means. Still annoyed that he's not here though. ]

If he's not able to, we can find someone else.

[downswing]

Brutal summons violate the spirit.

[somebadnews]

What choice do we have? It's either him or we pay for one, and they seem to always want something extra.

[downswing]

The spirit of the departed.


( Com... passion????? )

[somebadnews]

[ That makes even less sense. ]

Would it keep him from talking?

[downswing]

( Not............... the point. )


Have you no qualms?

[somebadnews]

Why would I? If he knows something that can be used against me or my family, I want to hear it.

[downswing]

There are lines.

[somebadnews]

It was your idea.

[downswing]

If the spirit lingered freely.

[somebadnews]

Your principles are worth that much to you?

[downswing]

My footprint will not be hollow hurt.

[somebadnews]

[ What does that even... ]

You're making a mistake.

[downswing]

Not on this day.

Seek the body. The spirit might loiter.

[somebadnews]

Are you willing to bet your family on that?

[downswing]

The ability you seek does not bloody my hands.

Ask a necromancer.

[somebadnews]

Thanks for the advice.
