[ that's one of the closest guesses he's gotten thus far. props to this person for that. ]

something like that
rituals to raise spirits usually require a sacrifice of some sort
animal blood used to be used
but i prefer to treat the dead with more respect.

[leadintheyoung]

You can raise the spirits of the dead? I've only met one other person who can do something like that!

[ Namely Letha and she isn't so sure it's the same from how she spoke of it, but it's no less a wondrous thing to her. That note of respect is a comfort, though. The dead are ancestors and family to someone, after all. ]

If you cannot find suitable offerings of food, let me know. Animal blood isn't in short supply for those who hunt. What would you raise their spirits for, though?

[deathkid]

the girl named letha?
i met her already. sort of.

[ and that's precisely why he treats them with respect. ]

are there normal animals around here to hunt?
i'd appreciate the offer, i guess,
if i can't find good cheeseburgers
and i'd raise them to ask questions.
a lot can be learned from those who've come before us

[leadintheyoung]

Yes, Letha. I only just found out about her magicks, too.

I've run into some deer, so there's something familiar to me beyond the city proper. What's a cheeseburger?

I would think you correct. I can only imagine the tales they'd have to tell, too. Would it be too much to ask if I can accompany you? When you raise the dead to question them, I mean.

[ Because there's nothing weird about asking a stranger to make a party out of raising the dead and asking them questions and she's curious about what she assumes is his magick. ]

[deathkid]

i guess not
though most mortals are comfortable
with what i do
as long as you don't freak out or anything

[leadintheyoung]

I'm not easily frightened. I do have a question that may come across as odd to you, though. What does it sound like, raising the dead?

[deathkid]

[ yeah, that is a bit of a weird question. it takes him a few minutes to respond because he actually has to think about it. ]

i never really paid that much attention.

[leadintheyoung]

Then we will find out together. Admittedly, I'm more accustomed to the music of the living, so I am not entirely certain what the music of the dead might sound like...

[ Not that she hasn't heard Death when she's hunted or taken a life, but that's something altogether different, she thinks. ]

[deathkid]

uh
i've never heard the dead play music
well
except for when father has famous dead musicians
play for him in the throne room
but i don't think that's what you meant

[leadintheyoung]

Oh, sorry! I'm still adjusting to the fact that not everyone in this reality has ears like mine.

My people hear and then we Hear the Great Music, which... I suppose the easiest way to explain would be to say that everything is a musical piece on its own and all of those pieces feed into the greater piece we call the Great Music. People, plants, animals, light, the earth itself -- I Hear everything. Magicks, too, whether they're cast through music as is the custom of my people or otherwise. Does that make sense?
