( Hello there, darkness dwellers. Is this a new voice you here? It sure is, lucky you. The accent is Australian, broad almost to the point of cliche, and there's something oddly lackadaisical about it, given the... well. The everything, really. )

So, not being funny, but has anyone, I dunno... fallen off the ferry and gotten a bit cuddly with some mysterious glowy, kinda ethereal-seeming tentacles?

Asking for a friend.

Hear me out:

I was hanging off the railings to try and get a better look at the thing I could see in the water.

( big awesome move, right?


no. )

[necromantiae]

Well.

( hm. )

That was dumb.

[magnitudes]

Oh, come on. I-- it---

( A long pause. )

It wasn't the smartest idea I've ever had.

[necromantiae]

It could have gotten you killed and that would have sucked.

( but all's well that ends well? )

Did yo at least have fun?

[magnitudes]

I lost consciousness very quickly, so... that was kind of a dampener on the situation.

( Hypothermia, man. What a bag of dicks. )

And I'm gonna need you to not mention that to Miriam, if you meet her, 'cause I'm pretty sure if she ever gets proved right about anything she'll be insufferable.

[necromantiae]

I don't even know a Miriam so I think you're good.

( but he's absolutely gonna try and find out who this person is. )

So, you're a new one, huh? Just died and showed up?

( not beating around the bush here. )

sorry for the slow, I was totally wiped out by work this week :'|

[magnitudes]

I mean... if you want to put it that way.

( What other way should it be put? No idea. )

But I mean, I don't ever just show up. I make an entrance.

it's okay! hope it's going better for you now!

[necromantiae]

And your entrance to Beacon was ending up snuggling with a sea creature. As far as entrances go, that's a pretty good one.

( not one he was ever going to partake in but still. )

How do you expect to top that while you're here?

[magnitudes]

( Oh, geeze. Sarissa makes a sound of quiet despair. )

Maybe... maybe teach it a catchy song and dance number? I'm open to suggestions, honestly.

[necromantiae]

Well, we have been lacking in good entertainment.

( hallucinations and random spirit attacks weren't that cool, okay. )

You'd have to choose a good song.

[magnitudes]

I feel like this is where shit could get confusing, if you don't know the music I know. But, personally, I feel like any Whitney Houston number would be bloody glorious.

[necromantiae]

Oh, I know Whitney. Not personally, unfortunately, but I know her music and I think a power ballad of a duet would be amazing.

( so, consider him a fan of that idea. )

I'd throw some money at you.

[magnitudes]

Oh, man, you raised my hopes. Imagine how great this place would be if Whitney was here?

( RIP her hopes and dreams. )

You could throw money at me in the meantime. Help me fund the idea.

[necromantiae]

What money would you like me to throw at you?

( death didn't make him rich. )

Unless you mean Monopoly money because I can probably find that and throw it at you.

[magnitudes]

I mean, I'll take it. It won't be the Indecent Proposal re-enactment I was hoping for, but I'll do my best.

[necromantiae]

I think I must have missed that one.

( it sounds scandalous though. )

Indecent Proposal?

[magnitudes]

Demi Moore rolls around on a bed of money. I don't really member anything else. Michale Douglas or Robert Redford might be in it. Or Harrison Ford? Shit, I don't know.

[necromantiae]

Demi Moore rolls around on a bed of money? Shit, how'd they know that's my ultimate fantasy?

( just never had enough real money to make that happen. )

[magnitudes]

I know, I know. Except I bet I'd manage to get cookie crumbs or something in amongst the cash. It'd be a disaster. Can't vacuum crumbs out of money.

[necromantiae]

I could deal with crumbs on money if it was a lot of money. I'd just use it to buy more cookies.

( checkmate. )

[magnitudes]

Genius, you’re an actual genius. A mastermind.

What’s your name, anyway?

[necromantiae]

Ambrose Spellman.

( nice to meet you and all that. )

Pleasure. I've been here awhile now and I'm really craving cookies.

[magnitudes]

Ambrose, lucky for you that I, Sarissa Theron, am a pretty great cook.
What kinda cookies you want?

[necromantiae]

Are you serious?

( not gonna look that gift horse in the mouth. )

Peanut butter chocolate chip.

( the best. )

[magnitudes]

Nice. Any allergies?

( time for baking? time for baking )
