[Marisa's not exactly sounding like herself today. In fact, she sounds a little freaked out though her voice is quiet.]

Um... What, uh... What happens when... ah. What happens when drones, um.... die?

[Anyone passing by 1125 Taylor might notice the front door is half open and there sun reflects off of something thick and red dripping slowly down it.

[OOC WARNING: Marisa is now suffering the Postman's Curse for breaking into the post office. Any characters coming to 1125 Taylor may be subjected to bodily injury should they have physical contact with Marisa. PM me for more details if needed.]

No, it's not. You should want your friends to be happy because they're your friends, not because you want to see the happiness on their faces.

Action

My friends are always intent on making me miserable. Guess I'm biased.

Action

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

Guess you are.

Action

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

You're absolutely hopeless. At least you're feeling better?

Action

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

You're just as hopeless, ze.

...and I guess I am. Beer tends to make me feel better. You know, booze is one of the keys to happiness.

Action

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

If you want to ask those questions now, you might as well since you're going to be dealing with me for the night.

Action

[A long pause as she takes a few more drinks,]

So... what are you?

Action

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

I was a human until Alice turned me into a youkai.

Action

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

...how did she do that?

[she has an idea, but wants the details.]</I. And why?

Action

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

The same way she did it to herself, I guess. She did it because she didn't want me to die.

Action

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

[She figured that's how Alice had done it. Marisa knew those spells...]

But death isn't real here. You'd just come back.

Action

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

I would die day after day and it would be a painful death each time. Or maybe I would simply go insane. It's because of the power I have.

Action

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

It's not so bad being insane...

[Mused more to herself than Shiki.]

...by power you mean that ash thing you did?

Action

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

That's part of it. That is to say...well, I see death.

Action

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

...you see ghosts?

Action

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

I can see ghosts but that's not what I'm saying. I can see how to kill people, things, anything that exists. Even if they can't die, I can still see how to kill them.

Action

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

Um. If they can't die... they can't die. That's kinda what 'can't die' means.

Action

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

My....ability goes past that. I can't really explain it well.

Action

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

You're like Reimu - bad at explaining things.

Okay... so how'd you end up with the power? Humans don't normally have magic.

Action

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

I was killed a long time ago.

Action

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

...well, that must've sucked. So you were resurrected or something with your power?

Action

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

My sister somehow brought me back to life by giving me some of her life. But it was the getting killed but surviving part that made me have this power.

Action

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

Huh. Following so far... Sorta.

Action

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

That's pretty much the entire story.

Action

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

So how does that translate into you killing people just to kill them and Alice being terrified of you?
