[Early in the morning on July 5th, after Jane Smith's uncharacteristic behavior was put to an end, were someone to go on a walk throughout the park, they might come across an unusual sight

I KNOW THIS PROBABLY WON'T WORK but it's IC for him to try.

[Theo looks at Samantha for awhile, finishing a cigarette. He stamps it out, and walks over to her, taking her pulse

[boostedfailure]

[Walking by and looking at Theo Mike shakes his head]

"I don't think that's how you bring someone back to life. Not nearly enough tesla coils or thunder storms. No hunch back with a lisp either..."

[sanctusdei]

[HAVE A DEATH GLARE. Also a slight jump as Theo was a bit involved in his work and didn't notice anyone coming by.]

Don't be ridiculous. And I know what the fuck I am doing, thanks.

[boostedfailure]

"I've tangled with several super villains who do this stuff all the time. Trust me. The magic stuff is a lot less reliable than the old scientific stuff."

Hope jumping in here is okay.

[ooeeooahah]

[ Ilsa has just gotten into range to hear the last sentence. ]

That would depend on which world you're standing in.

[ Then quietly, to Theo. ]

You all right? Was a bit of a risk, that much energy transfer.

[sanctusdei]

[Theo practically growls at him.] Well you haven't tangled with me before, jackass, so stop acting like you know what's going on. I've done this before dozens of times and it works perfectly fucking fine!

[She turns sharply to Ilsa. It's hard to tell, since he always looks exhausted.] I'm fine. I figured this is a special case, and I'm not going to risk not using enough.

More the merrier I guess

[boostedfailure]

"Eh, just so long as there aren't an army of them craving for human flesh in the morning...."

[ooeeooahah]

[ She shakes her head. ]

Zombies we can handle, I think.

[ She'll stand quietly behind Theo, waiting for a sign that it worked or no. ]

[sanctusdei]

[MORE GLARE.] There won't be. Mayfield won't allow something like that to happen for too long. And I'm not raising her up to eat your brain or some shit like that. I might be able to get her to talk. She might remember the last few minutes before she died. But if I got here too late, she'll just be a servant and nothing like her old self.

[Fuck, he's tired. Theo plops down on the bench and starts on yet another cigarette.] If something doesn't happen soon, though, then it didn't work.

[boostedfailure]

"I kinda get the feeling the town itself wouldn't let that happen. It'd be too much information, and keeping us in the dark with half truths is more fun for whatever sadist in charge."

[ooeeooahah]

You could be right, but we all have to try what we know.

[ A few more moments of waiting before she asks Theo ]

She may not want to risk coming back, though.

[sanctusdei]

Maybe. But that doesn't mean I won't try.

Or maybe she wants us to know something, but never could get it out, since she was always droned.

[boostedfailure]

[Just has that dumb "This is all over my head, why can't you be talking about how monkeys are funny?" kind of look on his face]

[ooeeooahah]

[ Ilsa shrugs sympathetically at Michael. Most of the legal system gives her the same kind of look. ]

[ Again, murmured to Theo: ] Would it be all right if I gave her a blessing, if it doesn't take?

[sanctusdei]

If it doesn't work, go for it. I don't particularly care.

[ooeeooahah]

[ After a suitable interval, watching Theo as much as Samantha's body, Ilsa brings a small flask from her purse, sprinkles the body with it, then takes a sip, then offering the flask to Michael and Theo. ]
