[And this, Adstring?

This is the face of a dead puppy shoved into view.]

The freshest corpse I have worked on in weeks, and it won't reanimate. [He gives the animal's body a scathing look, before flopping its limp head at the screen. Even in the dim light of his lab, it's easy to see that the poor thing has been stabbed several times; there are

Why...

What did you do?!

[soulcontracts]

You're going to have to be a little more specific than what did you do. I've done many things.

[thewinterdoe]

And dead puppies are normal for you?

Half of the city were turned into merfolk last week. I'd hardly call a dead dog abnormal.

Dude, you want to use things like rats rather than puppies if you want some sympathy if your magic isn't working.

[Seriously, he's unimpressed.]

And don't go waving the dead corpse around, some people might get offended. Have a little respect for the deceased, man. Seriously.

[soulcontracts]

I have plenty of respect for the dead when they prove themselves useful to me.

[He's irritated and knows it, but can't figure out why. He drives the tip of the knife into the table.]

The dog was just a waste of my time.

[magicxmarker]

Dude, thats totally not how it works.

And you're making yourself look like a total ass.

[soulcontracts]

Oh, me, look like a total ass?

[He lifts his gaze to the video, expression deadpan.]

I'd better apologize.

[neverquitedies]

Frustrated, Herr Cabal?

[soulcontracts]

I'd have kicked the damn thing on video if I didn't think it'd cause an angry mob to show up at my door.

[neverquitedies]

Yes, we tend to have those here in Adstring.

What's the matter?

[Video]

[soulcontracts]

Nothing.

[A pause.]

I don't know. I'm irritable.

... Oh my - God! What is wrong with you?!

[Johannes is usually - mostly - above childish goading. Not today.

He lifts a tuft of bloody puppy fur and flicks it at the camera.]

[slayery]

What are you? That's disgusting! And horrible - and did I mention huge wiggins and gross?

[soulcontracts]

Oh, quit whining. It was going to die eventually - it might as well die in the name of a good cause.

Mayhaps the Animus are tired of your necromancy. It serves no one good here to bring the dead back--especially if you kill it for the sole purpose of using such magic.

[soulcontracts]

I have to keep my mind sharp, don't I? And if the Animus want to tire of something, let it be something a little more annoying than my experiments.

[golden_hawke]

-=He doesn't respond about the need for practice.=-

The Animus have never been known to do things the way we feel is right.

[soulcontracts]

I've figured that out.

[He glances briefly at the PCD, before measuring a phial of something.]

Was that all you wanted? To yell at me for desecrating the sacred and holy corpse of a yippy mutt?
