3 [@necromantica: video] (WARNING: blood and gore)
Hello everyone! I hate to bother, but I thought I might share some exciting news with you all.
[This is a blatant lie, as everyone who's met her knows - she loves to bother. But that's not the point.]
First of all - I took the time to talk to a doctor about my child, and everything seems to be fine with her. It's a girl! I haven't thought of a name for her yet, but perhaps some of you have suggestions. A family name didn't seem appropriate seeing as... I have no intention to see my family again, nor bring any of them here.
[With the obvious exceptions, she guesses.]
Second thing... Here, Walter, come in here.
[She pulls a dead body into the camera view with her - a certain zombie-killing sheriff might recognize him from a certain zombie-related misunderstanding. Since then his bones have been bleached clean (mostly), and his head glued back together to the best of her abilities (it's missing a few pieces), and she's even done her best to clean the clothes she found him in. They're torn and bloodstained but... she thinks it gives him character.
Those living on floor one may take issue with the smell that came from her amateur attempt at cleaning the corpse... the bathroom on their level may or may not have suffered a lot of damage from her efforts. Aside from the bathtub being dyed pink from her filling it with chemicals she has a very approximate knowledge of and a dead body, there are bloodstains that she didn't know how to clean up, as well as some leftover gore that she failed to throw away. (Exact levels are up to player comfort.)]
This is Walter! [She seems perfectly happy to refer to him as though he's a living person, and has propped him up so he can sit next to her while she continues to speak. She even picked his hand up to make him wave when she introduced him.] I found him outside of the perimeter while everyone was handling those monsters... and we ran into a bit of trouble, but I was able to get him back to the communal hall in one piece. Mostly.
Now, it's been brought to my attention that some people come from worlds where necromancers don't exist or are frowned upon. I'd like to assure everyone that while I am a necromancer, my magic is only used for good. It can be extremely dangerous, but I've become very attached to many people I met here so I'm taking extra precautions not to take any risks with it. And, well, I very much like to stay alive as well. So there is that.
For those of you from worlds that don't have necromancy, I suppose the easiest explanation is that I can speak to the dead. I can make them move too, but not both at the same time and I thought it might be better to talk to Walter rather than- yes yes, I'm getting to it. I told you I would.
[She's addressing Walter, who has not made a single noise as far as anyone else will be able to tell. She clears her throat.]
I made this.. video.. [still a weird word] to give people the chance to ask me anything they might need to know about necromancy and the dead and... Walter agreed to answer questions about himself as well - seeing as he is a native of the Quarantine, he can give us more information about it and what's outside of it. [She may or may not have bullied him into it, but Walter can't communicate with non-necromancers, so he can't exactly ask for help.]
