Cain just sighed deeply.
"Just... do like you said and see about getting the necessary permissions." he told her.
"I need to find the journals that have that info in it." he continued.
"Need to see what we need and stuff." he mumbled further.
"...as long as you're sure about this." he then told the two that were there.
"This... this is, well... unprecedented." he went on.
"In scale AND potential consequences."

Again, Cain was silent for a moment.
"...you do whatever you feel you need to." he said.
"Just... you're surprisingly nonchalant about this." he told her.
"You... ARE aware this is one of the biggest crimes that can be committed, right?" he asked.
"....." he then paused, and shook his head.
"Everyone that helps me in this... just say you were ignorant of it." he suddenly commented.
"That way it'll only be ME that faces any potential consequences."

"....." Cain was silent, before sighing.
"I..." he stammered.
"I... well... I want to do this." he then said.
"I won't ask anyone to help me with this." he quickly told them.
"I could really get into serious trouble for this, but... I want to do it." he mumbled.
"I feel like... I'll regret it for the rest of my unlife if I don't..."
"I..." he stammered.

Cain had opened his mouth to say something, but paused and froze, silent.
"I... ah... hm." he mumbled.
"I... hate to say it, but that is a very interesting question." he admitted.
"It was already done to her. Shouldn't doing it again be all right?" he asked Kiah.
"In theory, anyway." he clarified.
"I realise there is no practical answer, nor is there a precedent for this, as... well... pretty sure the situation she's in has never happened before in recorded history." he then commented.

Ryker just sighed.
"Don't worry about it." he said.
"He needs this right now." he told her.
"And... soon it'll be over." he went on.
"Soon enough, this can all be put behind us." he continued.
"I'll do what I can to make SURE of it."

Cain... had a flurry of emotions rush through him in a short amount of time.
He was silent for a few seconds, before shaking his head.
"I... ah..." he stammered.
"Y-yeah, I was... aware that... Dad told me about..." he said, before just sighing.
"Anyway." he mumbled.
"Let her die... and then resurrect her?" he asked.
"Like... like when grandpa did it so long ago?" he asked further.
He was silent for a few seconds, before shaking his head.

"I, but..." Cain stammered.
"I was just... that's..." he stammered further, before sighing.
"....." he was silent, before shaking his head.
"I'm not getting out of this, am I?" he asked.
"Nope." Kiah responded matter-of-factly.
Cain then sighed again, before looking over to where Lunet was.
"Hey." he greeted her with a small wave.

There was silence for a moment, before the one on the other end answered.
"Uh, well..." they stammered.
"See, I'm still kinda busy looking through-" he started to say before he was interrupted.
"What?" she then heard, the person clearly having taken the phone away from their ear.
She then proceeded to hear a bit of a back-and-forth, but it was more that she could hear someone else that was there insist that he take a break. And she was NOT taking 'no' for an answer.
"According to Kiah, I'm taking a break." he told Lunet.
"I'll meet you in the break room."

"................." Zeke was silent for a moment, before pinching the bridge of his nose.
"A lot." he replied.
"As in, a LOT kind of a lot." he went on.
"I'm honestly not sure if the death penalty would be implemented or not." he admitted.
"At the bare minimum, the one that did it would be barred from practising alchemy ever again, prison time would be given, and it'd be a good amount..." he went on.
"They'd become a pariah in the mage world, overall..." he mumbled further.
"I mean, Aedan's father's life was legitimately ruined because of it. Or... well, so I've been told, anyway."
"A lot." he replied.

"...huh." Zeke muttered.
"Well, that sucks." he said.
"Looks like you'll need to call someone in for hardware tech support." he told Angela.
"Lunet, you do software stuff." he then said to Lunet, to which she nodded in response.
"Damn." Zeke mumbled.
"That'd be... Leo, yeah?" he asked Angela.
He then sighed in relief, quietly, that the conversation seemed to have been successfully deviated from the illegal practice of resurrection.

"......" Zeke was silent.
"What you heard was a stupid idea, posed by a man that clearly had no idea what he was talking about." he told her.
"Something that you're best off NOT hearing." he continued.
"The act of resurrecting someone like that is banned. It is banned outright, and severe punishments fall upon the one that does it." he told her further. "It is considered one of the worst crimes to commit in the mage world." he went on.
"That's all." he said further.
"....." he was then silent again, before glancing at Angela.
"It's not something to seriously consider, right Angela?" he asked his girlfriend.

Aly had noticed that Eke's attitude had improved drastically.
And she liked it. It did her heart good.
She asked Ryker about it, and all he said was that she was lucky to have him, and that that would be exemplified later in the night.
She was confused about the statement, but just went with it.
Ryker, meanwhile, stepped outside and looked around, mostly skyward.
"...the showdown is fast approaching..." he mumbled to himself.

Zeke was about to answer, before they heard the thud.
And instantly, he was in front of Angela, between her and the sound, shielding her.
It seemed his knee-jerk natural instinct was to protect Angela.
"What was that!?" he said quietly, but clearly on high alert.
"Who's there!?" he exclaimed.
"Show yourself!" he demanded.
He then narrowed his eyes and scanned around, preparing for anything.

"......." Zeke was silent, before sighing heavily.
"Yeah, see... that's the thing..." he muttered.
"Pretty sure we can't stop her from dying." he said.
"And I mean that." he continued. "I think we just need to let her die." he told her.
"But!" he then quickly interjected, before Angela could protest.
"She's... died before, right?" he asked.
"She was brought back before, right?" he asked further.
"Why not... do it again?" he suggested. "Re-zombify her." he clarified.
