As much as I understand your eagerness, I do wish you would have pulled me from a different point. I know I have mentioned this before, but it seems cruel to drag a man away from his prize when he is so close to attaining it. Ah, wait. Perhaps that was a poor choice in words? It's more of a hunt, isn't it? A warranted one-he is nothing if not dangerous. People could die in my absence.

My point is, it would be irresponsible to leave, particularly if my reason is galavanting around New York! No. I must insist that you take me from an earlier point. Heidelberg, perhaps? It'd be much easier to fit in if I still had my body.

[OOC: ah! right. he's basically a walking spoiler for the series so be warned!]

how does d-m work i don't understand

[icthyo]

[ He would ask for Heidelberg. Also wow, that first bit is only a little creepy. Where 'a little' actually means 'a lot', for clarity's sake.

In any case, it's not hard to piece together who Johann's talking about, and it leaves Abe bristling. With rather poorly concealed irritation: ] Yes. Maybe you should go back home.

[gasbag]

Ah! Abraham. It is good to see you are doing better! When I left you were still comatose.

[icthyo]

I got better. [ not.... really ]

[gasbag]

Ausgezeichnet! Perhaps when I return we can meet. You can tell me about your time here-I am curious if you had heard of similar disappearances during your vacation.

[icthyo]

[ ... ] Haven't the faintest idea what you mean, Johann.

[gasbag]

[don't fucking lie to him asshat]

I suppose it's perfectly reasonable that it all started after you left. But surely, you must have heard something?

[icthyo]

[ you hacked his computer first, douchebag!! ] Sorry. Guess I've been a little distracted by the end of the world.

[gasbag]

For all we know, this could very well be part of that, Abraham.

[icthyo]

If you mean that monster that ruined my vacation, sure. It bears similarities to what we've seen lately.

[ He knows that is, in fact, not what he means. But screw you. ]

this is basically me re-voice testing

[aspecialsnowflake]

[chinhands!] It seems as though people could die in your presence, also, no?

this is basically just a voice-testing post

[gasbag]

Well... yes. Death does come with the job. But the point is the numbers could rise.

god knows i need the practise sob

[aspecialsnowflake]

And that is great concern for you? That hunt is dangerous without ektoplazmicheskiy man?

Is not that someone else could win prize from right under your insubstantial nose - not at all!

[gasbag]

[IGNORING ALL THOSE JABS WOW]

Whatever is in that area is dangerous. I am in a team filled with people who are capable, but still human. They would not be able to fight the beast that might be there.

[aspecialsnowflake]

[LOOK, JOHANN, YOU'RE MAKING IT EASY.]

Ah, such noble concern! Poetic, that dead man should care so much for living. Most admirable.

[gasbag]

I'm not dead.

[aspecialsnowflake]

But not alive, either, no? Trapped in gap between states. Like document down back of filing cabinet. [If it wasn't already totally obvious she's fucking with you.]

Tell, how did you come to be in such gap?

[gasbag]

You are familiar with the Chengdou Incident, yes?

and then a totally unrelated character

[ropedin]

[ ... ] You do not have a body?

NONSENSE

[gasbag]

I would not be required to walk around in a containment suit if I did.

[It's a touchy issue...]

[ropedin]

A containment suit. [ Nope he's already over HJ's head. Firmly grounded in reality is this man. ]

I see. [ No, no he doesn't. ]

[gasbag]

[You trying to say Johann isn't reality, jerkwad?]

I am, to put it crudely, at a point between life and death. In order to keep my form from disappearing, I must keep myself within this suit. It's fairly simple to understand.

[ropedin]

[ He still refuses to believe people have superpowers tbh ]

Then perhaps someone with your... beliefs will fit in quite well there. I am sure there is a way other than wearing a suit, is there not?

[gasbag]

[Does this look like Egypt? Go put denial back where it came from. ALSO SLOW DOWN MOTHERFUCKER WHAT WAS THAT?]

Beliefs? I don't think anything I've said could be classified as belief. And a suit is much more preferable than wearing other people's corpses.

[ropedin]

You think you're a ghost.

[ He's starting to think he legit belongs in the looney bin. ]

I'm sure you have evidence to prove that as well, yes?

[gasbag]

Evidence?! Mein gott! I should not need to prove what I am! Is the suit not enough "evidence" for you?
