Day 296 — VR MarinaNova — After the doors close
[Maybe you saw a glowing door open and avoided it or maybe you have no idea anything just happened, but you know something is up now because everything just went dark. Seriously dark. No ambient light of any kind. The kind of dark that makes you wonder if something's wrong with your eyes. Oh, and there's a siren going off from the speakers on the floating island. Don't worry, that will end in about thirty minutes, but you're not so lucky when it comes to the dark.

The kiosk was open earlier, but it's gone dead now and the maintenance bots are in the same condition. As a bonus some people are missing too! Welcome to Day 296.]

(OOC: This mingle is for those who did NOT go through the doors. EVENT INFORMATION)

	No, I can't talk to a soul that's still inside a body. [Meatsack? Dude.] If it's inside, it's ... living. It's outside my domain. But I can sense them. [Like Sam, the day he didn't have one. And Murata, who had more than one. He shrugs.] Son of Hades. It all comes with the territory. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Would walking Happy Meal be better. ] Figures it'd be something like that. [ He fakes an exasperated sigh. Fucking Gods. ] So even though I'm very much dead, you can't call up mine? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2014-11-21 05:57 pm UTC (link)
	[Man. Don't dishonor the Happy Meal.] Oh, well... [Actually... There was that little thing he told Chuck about - his ability to release the souls of people who've cheated death. Vampires with souls probably qualify.] I'm not going to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

What? No! [Or...] I don't know...

[What are the rules with things that are dead but have souls? He's never encountered this situation before. He can raise and control the (non-sentient) dead. He can summon and talk to souls (not attached to bodies). He can release souls (only the cheaters).

He looks at Spike. Spike is dead. So could his soul still be reached?]

Do you want to talk to it?

	chipswiththat 2014-11-24 07:46 pm UTC (link)
	No, I don't want to talk to it! What is wrong with you? And I don't want you chumming it up with it behind my back either! [ Seriously Nico why would you even think about doing this lay off his soul already do you have a crush on it or something. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2014-11-24 08:04 pm UTC (link)
	[No, no, no, but ... Damn it! What if he can? He wants to try that now!] Without you noticing? Anyway, it's a very nice soul. Too bad it's not having much influence on the rest of you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ That brings him pause. ] What would you know about that? You don't know me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2014-11-26 08:20 pm UTC (link)
	You were sensitive. Soft. Meek. Pushover. Hopeless romantic? Did you write poetry? Sonnets? You were Victorian - I bet you did. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2014-11-26 09:08 pm UTC (link)
	[ If he could possibly get any paler, he would do just that. The reaction is visible — there isn't a person in prison that knows what he was like before he died, barely anyone back home that still remembers and now there's this kid who sees right through to his pathetic core. It makes him shudder with a wash of sickness. ] You don't know me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2014-11-27 12:24 am UTC (link)
	[Spike's reaction doesn't go unnoticed. Is that a pang of sympathy Nico feels? He wasn't even sure what he was trying prove - except that maybe Spike's soul didn't match up with jerk before him. He lifts his shoulders, though his voice is at least somewhat apologetic.] Seems I do. Part of you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

That man is dead.

[ As firm as he can manage but there's still an almost uncharacteristic tremble in his voice. What he's actually saying is up for debate here — William Pratt died a long time ago but then again so did he and no name change in the world can completely strip away the meek poet from the bloodthirsty killer. He's been hiding it for well over a century, with varying degrees of success.

You reek of humanity. ]

	[No shit. Voice tremble. Emotional vampire? He's not sure what to do about that. He'll do nothing about that. Just feel uncomfortable and pretend not to notice.] Funny how souls go on being what they are, even when their bodies stop. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2014-11-28 03:25 pm UTC (link)
	[ Good man. Please continue to do nothing about that. Everyone could benefit from more people doing nothing about that. ] Guess that's where the immortal bit comes into play. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2014-11-28 07:51 pm UTC (link)
	So ... that man may be dead, but he's not gone. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2014-11-29 10:34 am UTC (link)
	[ I thought I said we would continue to do nothing about this. This sure feels like something. ] What are you getting at? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2014-11-29 07:59 pm UTC (link)
	[It's hard to leave things alone.] ...Nothing. Just, souls don't float around inside of bodies completely separate. But ... whatever. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2014-11-30 02:16 pm UTC (link)
	What difference does it make? Most of the wankers in here don't believe souls exist in the first place. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2014-11-30 09:29 pm UTC (link)
	So? I didn't believe in vampires before your fangs popped out. We have similar monsters, but they're female, and uglier. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2014-12-01 12:47 pm UTC (link)
	So the difference is you changed your mind when you got proof. They haven't. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2014-12-01 05:42 pm UTC (link)
	[Small shrug.] Proof helps. It's not necessary. Anyway, who cares what they believe? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2014-12-01 05:46 pm UTC (link)
	[ Hahaha. ] The bloke who gets told to suck it up because these wankers don't understand how souls work. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2014-12-01 06:08 pm UTC (link)
	Ah. [He can see where that would be a problem (if he's understanding who the bloke and the wankers are). He also kinda maybe feels responsible because he did give Jack the reassurance that the soul thing would work...] I don't suppose you've tried to explaining it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2014-12-01 06:11 pm UTC (link)
	More times than I can count. [ He groans. In a way this is the last thing he wants to talk about but also, maybe this is the one person who'll actually kind of get it. ] Repeatedly, before and after the fact. So far, no one seems to see the problem but what the hell do you expect out of heroes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2014-12-01 06:52 pm UTC (link)
	[He snorts at that. He'd never measured up to a hero himself. But he knew heroes. Admired them, even.] They wanted to stop you attacking people. I guess that worked, right? But... [He trails off, uncertain.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
