Fandom High Welcome Picnic, Front Lawn of the School, All Day

[bigdamnprincipal]

Whoever worked the weather magic around here had done an excellent job to make sure things were nice outside for all the new (and old) residents of Fandom. It was warm and sunny, but not so humid that people would melt. There was plenty of moddable food and drinks, places to sit in the shade, and more than enough nametags to go around. It was time to celebrate the start of the summer!

"It's a special magic that's only in the dungeon," Senshi assured him. "In the rest of the world, death is final, as is right and proper. It's one of the spells cast on the dungeon by the Lunatic Magician."

"I'm not sure I'd be using magic cast by someone who calls themselves the Lunatic Magician..." Raiden said. Was this one of those things where he was just too dumb to see why it was totally a good idea?

"One of many reasons I don't trust it," Senshi said. "But it's not something that they do, it's more something they've already done. There's a spell over the whole dungeon that chains the soul to the body once the body dies. So all a Resurrectionist does is heal the fatal injuries on the body and then...stuff the soul back in, I guess?"

This very scientific explanation brought to you by Senshi "I Hate Magic" Izganda

"Huh," Raiden said. "Never heard of such a thing. And they're actually alive when it's done, not, like, zombies or whatever?"

Re: Meet Your Buddies!

"No, ghouls are corpses that were possessed by ghosts before they died," Senshi said. "The people the Resurrectionists resurrect are alive again."

Where Raiden was from ghouls were somewhat different, but they weren't here to get into nit picking terminology. "Well, just goes to show, there's always something you haven't heard of yet. Just assume living here will be a lot of that, but most people are operating in good faith, I find."

Re: Meet Your Buddies!

"Huh," Senshi said. "...I just realized my shelter is back in the dungeon."

Could he get back there? The door had disappeared. But where could he get supplies to make another?

Re: Meet Your Buddies!

[carbsliftthespirit]

"Your shelter? You mean like your house? Don't worry, we can find you a place to stay. There's a hotel in town, and a couple of apartment buildings and a boarding house--uh, depending on how okay are you with your house having kidnapped people one time. They say it's reformed now." Raiden did wonder a little if it was just biding its time, though.

Re: Meet Your Buddies!

"That sounds like a magic house and no," Senshi said immediately. "Thank you," he added a moment later to sound less rude about it. But there was no way he was living in a magic house, even if it was the best behaved house in the world. "I suppose I should just go and see where I come to first."

Which would be the MCA, conveniently enough!

After lunch, though. He was getting hungry.

Re: Meet Your Buddies!

[carbsliftthespirit]

Raiden was always hungry. It was nearly a miracle he hadn't snacked his way through this conversation. "Okay, well--shit. Phones. You'll need to get a phone." Why hadn't he thought of this until now? "I'll track you down later and we'll talk about phones, okay? Or...something." Right now, unfortunately, that hunger was increasingly making itself known, and pretty soon Gluttony would join in.

Re: Meet Your Buddies!

[sailor_meshi]

"Okay," Senshi said, not at all sure what a phone was, or why he'd need one. "That sounds fine."

He was going to go turn picnic food into completely different food because that was how he rolled. "A pleasure to meet you, Raiden," he said, holding out a hand for a shake.

Re: Meet Your Buddies!

[carbsliftthespirit]

As long as it tasted good in the end, that was all that mattered. "It's been great meeteing you, too, Senshi," Raiden said, giving him an extremely enthusiastic handshake. "I'm sure your workshop is gonna be great!"
