R1 DEADLAND

[lockdownmods]

[it’s strange, for the people who were already dead, the shift in scenery is sudden and complete. For those who have just arrived? It’s like you’re back where you left?

How strange.

But if you ever need her, you can always reach out to the guardian of this place.]

[ in his defense, connor agreed.

but waver rolls his eyes, arms crossed. ]

That weasel’s just pathetic. An absolute idiot. He killed me for the chance to send a bloody message! What the hell was he gonna do with that? Try to call 911 or something else that’s just as stupid?!

[donotlick]

[ It would give you a stern talking-to, young man!!! ]

Wouldn't surprise me if that was the case. [ Hank shakes his head, disgusted. ] Weasel sounds about right for that little snitch. Can't believe he thought a fucking voicemail was worth somebody dying for.

[ At least the hat just wanted to go home!! ]

[devotingly]

Ugh.

[ waver groans, dragging his hands down his face at the mere thought of having been killed for such a stupid motive. ]

And now we’re... damn it, I don’t know. I’ve got no idea what to do now.

[donotlick]

Yeah, it's a mixed bag for sure.

[ He shrugs. ]

But it's not so bad—we might be in a computer, but that means we can probably fuck up their stuff and actually do something.

[devotingly]

I guess...but that doesn't mean that we'll be able to magically return to life.

[ and that's probably the most depressing fact for waver. ]

[donotlick]

No way around that, I guess.

[ Yeah, Hank doesn't like that... but he's bffs with an android so maybe that's why the alternative is a little easier for him to swallow. ]

Best we can hope for is android bodies, like the one Vivienne has. She said that was her goal with backing us all up on her big server.

[devotingly]

An android body...

[ it’s no longer a matter of being turned into a metaphorical toaster or something that silly. having an android body would mean the possibility of losing something very important to his life—his magic circuits.

and if that’s missing... ]

Well I guess I should just start waving my dreams of being a mage goodbye then. [ he laughs, mirthless. there’s nothing for him to be happy about. ]

[donotlick]

Just one possibility. Who knows.

[ Ahhh, that would suck wouldn't it? Boy, you magic people and your... magic. Hank does give the kid a sympathetic look. ]

No magic for androids, huh? I dunno enough about magic to guess if there's something you could whip up.

[devotingly]

Something like that.

[ no magic for anyone, waver holds back from saying. he has no desire to explain the differences between magecraft and magic, even if time is no longer a problem. ]

After all, if science could replicate what makes magecraft possible, then magi wouldn't exist in the first place. [ he shrugs ] But it's not like I was good at it either, so who cares?

[donotlick]

[ Sorry, Waver, your explanation would definitely go nowhere with Hank. ]

You sure? Don't gotta quit just because we're digital now. Maybe you could get Vivienne to make you some kinda... magic app. Or something.

[devotingly]

[ waver will just... shake his head. this is the issue with trying to explain magecraft to non-mage folk. ]

And that would ruin magecraft forever. No thanks.

[donotlick]

Huh. Well, okay. If you say so.

[ Hank shrugs. He doesn't know the first thing about this stuff... ]

Sucks that you were good, though. I'm sorry to hear that.

[ That's the opposite of what Waver said, actually... ]
