8th Dusting

[Voice / Action]

[You know she almost, almost signed on for that one mission. A guard, surviving, she knew she could handle it. But then when she saw that "desert" thing. she has no idea what a desert is, so today she is at the library researching that, mostly because she really doesn't have much better to do today. She is clearly in a better mood though- all her earrings are in place (one of them she even thinks might be gold) and she she has a shiny nose stud in place. But... as she learns more and looks into these things more-

..Jesu.

She's gotten over being afraid of the sun (somewhat) in Luceti, mostly because of how dreary winter is, but that desert that... she flips open her journal]

Hey, Luceti. Talk to me 'bout the sun. Some of you got tales for it, right? Gotta.

[Feel free to answer her or see her in the library]

Back to life- what's a mummy?

[ voice ]

[lunas]

You know, those creepy people wrapped in bandages who are actually already dead yet still come back to life all the time!

[ voice ]

[makeitquick]

I don't know, which is why I asked. [...] Sounds like a lurk though. Suck blood?

[ voice ]

[lunas]

... Wait.. if they suck blood, then they would be mummy vampires! That almost sounds like it could be a horror movie.

[ voice ]

[makeitquick]

...So they aren't lurks?

[ voice ]

[lunas]

[ pausing.. ]

Actually, I've never heard of these lurks before, ahahaha!

[ voice ]

[makeitquick]

Vampires. Vamps. Lurks're vamps.

[ voice ]

[lunas]

Mummies are not vampires, I'm sure of that much! Mummies, vampires, werewolves, zombies, they're all different kind of horror monsters!

... Although zombies and mummies are sort of alike..

[ voice ]

[makeitquick]

Only know half of 'em. Tell me about the wolves and talk more 'bout the mummies.

[ voice ]

[lunas]

Um, werewolves are like.. people who transform into big huge ferocious wolves during full moon! They're pretty scary! [ probably learned this from some late-night horror movies she regretted watching in retrospect.. ]

And I don't know what else there is to say about the mummies. Oh, I know, they usually start walking because they're part of a trap! They have to be activated! ... Hmm, I'm not sure how that works exactly either..

[ voice ]

[makeitquick]

-Trap? Why would you have undead on a trap?

[ voice ]

[lunas]

I don't know, maybe they take using mummies is a good way to take care of intruders?

[ voice ]

[makeitquick]

Mmm~ ...Fair 'nough. Speaking as a grabber, that might be pretty bad.

[ voice ]

[lunas]

You're a.. grabber? [ ... ] What do those do, grab things?

[ voice ]

[makeitquick]

You got it. Someone needs something, I got get it for 'em.

[ voice ]

[lunas]

Huh, that seems like some really strange kind of job!

... Does anyone ever ask you to get the remote control for them? That happens at my house a lot!

[ voice ]

[makeitquick]

Not much. Usually sil, chems, coi, artifacts.

[ voice ]

[lunas]

Wait, 'artifacts' is something I can still get, but what are those other ones? They sound more like kinds of coughs than actual.. you know, things!

[ voice ]

[makeitquick]

Coi's coi and sil's sil. How do those sound like a cough?

[ voice ]

[lunas]

[ cue Usagi making some vague coughing noise during which she attempts to say 'coi' as well - it ends up sounding almost funny. ]

[ voice ]

[makeitquick]

[UGH. Strained voice:] Coi. Coi! You know, solid money!

[ voice ]

[lunas]

Oooh, that Coi! [ she actually still has no clue, but going along with it is easier.. ]

Of course, I knew that!

[ voice ]

[makeitquick]

-Really?

[ voice ]

[lunas]

Yeah, of course, of course! I mean, who doesn't know about Coi, geez..

[ voice ]

[makeitquick]

'Cus if you did know, you'd be the first.
