I tried to get through to you

[archboxer]

[You know what that was? A fiasco. That was an utter fiasco. Three more people gone on a chance that may not happen! This is horrible. Even if some people dislike her, Rhea... is up to the challenge once more. This time she does it nearly herself: writing out the invitations, ordering the food and telling everyone to meet at the bar. In Ema's honor, of course.

She hands out the invitations herself and if she can't find you, she'll slide yours under your door.]

Comments

The "ghost" he was yelling about. [ She wraps one huge hand around the glass and draws it closer, more for something to do with herself than any desire to actually drink whatever's in there. ] Something managed to infiltrate... whatever those executions actually are. Obviously Nova was really there, and that agent was too, but that's the only thing I'm sure of.

[archboxer]

It fits what Nova said near the end, as well. She was an unpleasant woman at the best of times but I must wonder if this experiment is coming to the end. [Ghostworth good?]

[hardnosed]

Maybe. But maybe that's not a good thing.

[ No comment on Nova, pleasantness-wise, which probably shouldn't come as a surprise. ]

You mean the thing she said about Ghostworth. [ It's such a stupid name... ] That wasn't the first time she's mentioned resurrection — she was talking about it weeks ago. Like it was actually possible.

[archboxer]

Perhaps... we will find out eventually.

[She dislikes it too but hey, whatever works.]

As you know, I am someone who has looked into such things and well. It is not impossible but... if I could not do it, I have little faith in anyone else managing to do so.

[hardnosed]

[ No comment, Rhea!! But honestly, she doesn't have much faith in someone who hasn't been alive for an untold number of centuries to have perfected any resurrection mechanic. Nova's belief is more a testament to Nova, and what she was willing to entertain in order to justify what she did. ]

What about ghosts?

[archboxer]

[Someone who would be willing to say that the dragons were dumb for not inventing time travel, was a blasphemer and just a jerk. In Rhea's not at all biased opinion.]

Of that I am unsure. Projections of the dead might be possible but... [Honestly?] I do not believe Ghostworth is a ghost. What exactly he is, I cannot tell, but he merely said 'sure' when asked if he was a ghost. That does not inspire confidence.

[hardnosed]

Of course it's too much to expect anyone to explain themselves. [ She pauses, reorienting herself to the pronoun she only ever uses once it becomes explicitly clear that's what everyone else is doing. ] He must be using magic or some kind of tech to move things remotely, then. This isn't the kind of base you can just get close to.
