IMPORTANT: I need someone with medical training to meet me at the shoreline near the river. I've found what looks to be my own dead body.

Please hurry.


[Attached is a photo, lit dimly by his lantern, of what does indeed look like his recognizeable corpse floating in the water, hooked through the cheek and attached to a discarded fishing pole lying some feet away on the pebbles.

This is of course in reference to this exploration thread.]

I imagine it was dumped due to being a failure.

[This is both him just making an assumption and throwing shade.]
paletteswap: (Not sure)

Has anyone come to assist? Should I come find you? That doesn't sound like it's something you should be alone with.

Failure? For you? I do not doubt that to be true.

Interesting.

Do the pupils respond to light or movement?

--Yes, yes of course.

[ He watches on, interested, seemingly undisturbed by all of this, and moves to help him do the rolling over bit. He is a very large person, but Aziraphale is mostly taking his time just because he'd like to be gentle with his arms and legs, and not destroy them more than the water had already done. ]

Will you want for it to be buried? When we are done here.

[ Out of respect for his body, you know. ]

[On a scale of 1-please don't, how weird is it to ask a stranger if you can come see their dead body...]


You and only you?

I assume assistance is on it's way, if it hasn't reached you already.
paletteswap: (To the future)

[personal profile] paletteswap 2019-09-23 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
I'll be there shortly, it doesn't seem wise to be alone with whatever that is.
paletteswap: (Oh)

[That definitely looks like a very dead Rosinante.]

That is even more horrifying seeing it in person.

[He's trying to rationalize this corpse of someone he's talking to, his train of thought somewhat following Rosinante's.]

Could it be because you died previously? There is a... copy of you somehow?
paletteswap: (Determined)

[personal profile] paletteswap 2019-09-23 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
It's looking at you.

[ Which is far more disturbing than the makeup. How can it be looking at him if it's dead? Unless it isn't.]

Have you tried talking to it? Maybe it's a forest spirit that can shapeshift and is trying to imitate you?

[In which case it might parrot back whatever Rosinante says. He's not sure if that's better or worse than a duplicate corpse. Probably worse because they'd have to be on alert to make sure the people they were speaking to weren't spirits in disguise.]

[ Oh yes, that's very grotesque. Aziraphale frowns and then he goes to find some piece of torn cloth to cover his face with. He just doesn't want Rosinante to have to endure watching his own deceased face doing this. ]

Perhaps we should call it, then.

And I'm sure we could still cremate the body if you wish; the heat from fire seems to be just fine.

[ And he may or may not periodically check if his powers will work. ]

[Damn.]

I don't suppose anyone managed to take a sample.

Do you think it's possible that a spirit was responsible?

Have they been known to change forms like this before?
