[ video ] and a very very very subtle novel-canon start.

[tenminutes]

[ Yuri again! She finally managed to score a laptop from one of the NPCs, so she's actually sitting with it in her lap, in a folding chair, in what appears to be an infirmary, looking extremely confident. ]

As many of you already know, I'm rebelling against God. I'm starting to gather teammates now, but since most of you aren't in this world I've decided to start up multiple rebellions. If you're dead or have a problem with God, you can obviously offer yourself for the cause, but I'd like to focus now on rebelling against this community for now.

Don't worry, I don't want to shut it down or anything, but it does some pretty annoying things sometimes. If we start messing with it enough it'll start changing its ways won't it? Especially you science-types who are all content to document what it already does instead of see what you can do! [ She's got a smile on. Confident, a little bit like she's ready to start a panic. ]

So, who wants to see if we can provoke the community into doing something new? I'm taking early recruitment starting-- [ Pause. Wait for it. ] Now!

I can manage things against gods here without investing in you. Prove to me you have hope and I'll reconsider.

[tenminutes]

[ AHH RECRUITMENT FAILED. ]

You'll choose the right side before things get strange! [ But. Fact: You've shown yourself on her radar, she's never going to stop trying to recruit you now. ]

[grancenturio.livejournal.com]

Perhaps I will.

[tenminutes]

You definitely will! I guarantee it!

[grancenturio.livejournal.com]

What makes you so confident?

[tenminutes]

Because sticking around to beat God's face in is the only reason I haven't disappeared yet. It's the one thing keeping me in existence.

[grancenturio.livejournal.com]

That sounds intriguing, actually.

[He could say something a little bit similar.]

[tenminutes]

So, taking God down is basically the only reason I'm still dead and my soul's sticking around. Even if it takes a long time, I don't exactly have anything to give up and fall back on, so it's pretty much a guarantee that I win since there's nothing else for me.

[grancenturio.livejournal.com]

What would you be if you were not still dead?

[tenminutes]

Once you become satisfied, you disappear completely, your soul gets reincarnated completely fresh, and everything that's you is gone. Basically non-existent.

[grancenturio.livejournal.com]

I see. What many people think of as 'death'.

[tenminutes]

I'm already dead, so I'm pretty sure that's a step beyond this.

[grancenturio.livejournal.com]

I wonder if a spirit can be trapped in my world, as well.

[tenminutes]

Who knows. There were ghost stories in the world where I was alive, so some people probably don't quite make it to separate places or something.

[grancenturio.livejournal.com]

I am a necromancer, but... A spirit staying for some purpose is rare.

[tenminutes]

Necromancer? Like what, you raise zombies? [ She grins. ] Well I'm one of a kind and I plan on persuading more people to stick with me~

[grancenturio.livejournal.com]

I do, in fact, raise zombies.

[tenminutes]

Stay the hell away from my body then~ It's probably rotted too long anyway, I can't imagine it'd be very pretty!

[grancenturio.livejournal.com]

Physical attractiveness is rarely a concern of mine when I need a zombie.

[tenminutes]

There's probably not enough skin left to hold me together, so don't bother. Otherwise I wouldn't care, it's not like I'm stuck there anymore~

[grancenturio.livejournal.com]

That can be worked with, but I don't have an interest in your body in particular.

[tenminutes]

I didn't expect you to, I'm just letting you know~ [ Yes, she felt the need to do that. ] Your zombie-rezzing doesn't pull the souls out somewhere right? They're still soulless?

[grancenturio.livejournal.com]

They would be soulless unless I did something in particular to ensure otherwise. [Which he sometimes does.]

[tenminutes]

That'd suck to be stuck in a rotting body and actually care about it...

[grancenturio.livejournal.com]

It would be terrible and unpleasant.
