[OPEN] The trouble it might drag you down
Who: Barabas & Anyone (plus closed top levels for Shiro & Maes)
Where: Around abut the temple
When: Upon his return from his two day disappearance for a canon-update.
Rating Generally benign -- some talk of violence, battle, ...a little dismemberment.
What: Barabas went and disappeared for a few days and got canon updated. So now he's back, with a lot to deal with.
[ Open - Kitchen ]
[By the time Barabas makes his way to the kitchen, he's well aware that he'd have to drown himself in an olympic size swimming pool of chamomile to have any sort of calming effect. But as that is not an option, he will content himself to brewing a pot of it and starting there.
He looks exhausted -- there are likely still a few leaves and twigs and various other pieces of flora clinging to his hair and his clothes from his trek through the temple woods. He normally makes a point to look as put together as their situation allows. Not right now.
There's too much in his head. It feels like he's been gone for -- god has it been years? It might have been years -- a long time, but he's come to terms with it only having been days in this place. Reconciling that is taking some doing.
The redhead will look up at the sound of anyone entering to offer a weary smile and gesture to the teapot beside him.] Care for tea?

Not really. That just means it really is messed up.
[The explanation helps a little more...not much, but a little.]
Yeah that's...I'm not sure that's something we can pursue exactly. Roy could probably give you a better explanation of alchemy, though he gets fidgety when it comes to the stuff that would be close to what you're describing. Bringing people back from the dead is considered a taboo.
no subject
Then maybe I'll ask him about it sometime. It seems like something I'd like to understand. I'll be delicate.
[Because after all,] It likely should be a taboo in most cases. The power involved with it seldom comes without a heavy price.
[But Maes is already alive. Flesh and blood. Barabas can tell that much.]
no subject
[He's not sure how he feels about that prospective conversation. He's definitely sure it's not an avenue to pursue. So far the only one who seems capable of pulling humans here from near death is Astoria. But she never seems to quite understand how her own ability works anyway. It's not exactly reassuring.]
Still, it is a good idea to pool our resources. It's the benefit of having people from so many distinct worlds together, right?
no subject
[Life and death and all.
He nods in agreement with what Hughes says next though.]
I think so. If nothing else that's the greatest strength we have, separate from anything Astoria might offer us.
[Because it's independent of her. They are who they are and what they bring to this giant fucked up magical table.]
