Bariyan is dead.

[ Someone is having difficulties sounding his usual calm and measured today! This comes out sounding pretty forced. ]

I tried to — I'm sorry. I could do nothing for him, and... and perhaps the Initiative, as they've done for others, will return him. I couldn't— 

[ a pause. ]

I'm sorry.

[ so he's still out and about. got it. does that mean the week is up already??? oh well. ]

I heard you can revive the dead. What's the problem?

[healplz]

I— his body is... different. I tried. [ he accidentally melted Bariyan's corpse oops ]

[ must resist urge to lecture must resist 'ALL THE VICTIMS HAVE BEEN RESTORED' hnnnnnnnghh that would be just tactless ]

Different how?

[ pause (for some MISERY) ]

He is undead. My holy magic does nothing but harm to him.

[neveraskedforthis]

... [ wow okay he is not even going to ask. ]

Then I hope the Initiative will be able to help him. Are you still going to attempt to handle M's case until the week is up?

[healplz]

[ him personally? FUCK NO he's a useless sadsack!! but... ]

Forgive me, but — yes. We are.
