Retrieving a body to work on

[23:10] Som'nium Cresentis says, "Oh um... Xander we need to talk later if you aren't busy."
[23:11] Xander Byron says, "Oh? Som, your hair changed color."
[23:11] Cali S.Valkrin asks, "Yep and length, what do you think?"
[23:11] Xander Byron says, "If you don't mind Cali, I'll see you around."
[23:11] Cali S.Valkrin says, "Eh? Go ahead."
[23:11] Xander Byron says, "See yah"
[23:11] Som'nium Cresentis says, "Y-You're following me..."
[23:11] Som'nium Cresentis says, "I need to go check on something... I guess you can tag along."
[23:13] Xander Byron says, "Of course I'm following you."
[23:14] Xander Byron asks, "But, what are you checking on?"
[23:14] Som'nium Cresentis asks, "Um... what for?"
[23:14] Som'nium Cresentis says, "Just the um... the body."
[23:14] Xander Byron says, "Speaking of."
[23:15] Xander Byron says, "We need to find an ice magic to keep it in a state where it doesn't decay."
[23:15] Xander Byron says, "Fresh, so to speak."
[23:15] Xander Byron asks, "Know of anyone?"
[23:15] Som'nium Cresentis says, "I mean it is perserved but..."
[23:15] Som'nium Cresentis says, "Look I think too many people know about this as it is..."
[23:15] Xander Byron asks, "It's perserved how?"
[23:16] Xander Byron says, "-"
[23:16] Xander Byron exclaims, "People know about it?!"
[23:16] Xander Byron asks, "Why do people know about it Som?"
[23:17] Som'nium Cresentis says, "My friend Miden, he is interested in flesh-crafting and medicine like us."
[23:17] Xander Byron asks, "Did he tell anyone?"
[23:17] Som'nium Cresentis says, "No."
[23:17] Som'nium Cresentis says, "But..."
[23:17] Xander Byron asks, "But?"
[23:21] Frowns as she goes to put the body away clearly nervous.

"They are about to start actual witch-hunts for occultist, witches, flesh-crafters anyone who doesn't align with what the Osronan's deem as appropriate," their was an undeniable paranoid edge to her voice as she spoke nervously glancing around now, "I saw Myrios in this cave earlier and he saw me, they know I am here now so I don't know if I should move or leave or," she sighed her paranoia starting to give her a headache.

"Everything is so overwhelming, I can't catch my breath without something else happening, I don't know what to do," she finally said with a sigh glancing around her cave wondering sadly if she would have to leave this home too.

[23:23] Som'nium Cresentis says, "If they catch me with the body they won't care why I have it..."
[23:31] Som's concern was well met, certainly it was something that was understandable due to their circumstances. Especially with Myrios and the other blue-blooded running around and implementing their views on everyone.

But then again, the Academy is under Osrona's jurisdiction.

"Listen, I hear your cries loud and clear. So let me take care of the body and I promise that they will never link it back to again." The situation was dire, the longer Som held the body in her home. The more likely they'd raid her home to uncover the secrets it held.

"At any time you can send me a letter and I'll allow you to mess around it alongside me. Does this sound good Som?" Rising to his feet, he moved towards Som with his hand extended. "Check the peep hole, let me know if anyone is outside. If no one is there, I'll go put it away safely alright?

Does this sound acceptable Som?" he asked, waiting for themto hand over the body towards him. "They can break in at any moment if he's really outside. Time is of the essence isn't it."

[23:52] "I-I just..." This wasn't what she had wanted to talk to him about how she wasn't sure she wanted them to do any experiments on the body, that she wanted to give it back to her father so she could stop worrying but now Xander just wanted to take it from her?

"I-I need... his mother needs it... we shouldn't do anything..." she told him again now fiddling with the amulet she wore around her neck desperately desperately wishing her older sister was around as she glanced back almost fearfully at the chest now.

Then he said break in.

An unhealthy amount of fear surged through the girl, she could almost hear the terrible sound of their door being kicked in and smell the smoke that filled the room and hear the screams o- quickly she ran back to the chest grabbing the body and shoving it into Xander's hands suddenly desperate to get rid of it.

"J-Just take it! Don't do experiments on it without me but just take it! Get rid of it!" she told him her breath becoming more uneven as she tried to force the memories of that night away but failed; she could still hear everything; the thought that it might happen again sent real tangible fear through her and she couldn't bring herself back so she just stood there trembling eyes squeezed shut as she covered her ears wishing she could stop hearing it.

[23:52] {Item} You picked up Sano Rizner's Corpse. Dropped by Som'nium Cresentis..

[00:08] Xander was only on the cusp of achieving what he needed, the body for experimentation. Perhaps it was for his own selfish desires, but it was better to use it on the dead than the living. Atleast for now to get started.

However, his plan worked.

Pressuring her to think that at any moment that someone could break in and search her home. The thought of such would drive anyone mad, especially when the Academy held such a lethal force towards such characters. Just as quick as he doubts began to set it, would they turn against it. Turning a new leaf to eliminate any traces of them attached to it.

"Of course." He promised, smiling as they wished to take apart of the experiments as well.

Taking the body within his hands, he placed it on the ground besides him. Moving closer towards Som to wrap her in a comforting hug. "It'll be okay Som, I promise. Nothing bad will happen to Sano's body. I promise that I'll do my best to get Sano's body to their mother one day. We'll do our experiments, nothing too dangerous, but to have our fill of our curiosity alright?"

Running his hand through her hair comfortingly, Xander pulled back. Moving to take up the body before slinging it over his shoulder. "We'll talk again soon alright? Take care Som. Everything will be alright."
