How long does it usually take for the nanites to bring someone back from the dead?

[Because he's been waiting for Archie to come back to life and hoping he'll get some kind of message from him, because Archie staying dead was unacceptable.]

From 12 to 72 hours, but I've seen it sometimes taking longer.

[drivesadesk]

It's been more than 72 hours. Wonder why it's taking so long.

[ text ]

[ghoulking]

Sometimes it doesn't happen within the 72h. There are always exceptions.

[ text ]

[drivesadesk]

Yeah, I got that.

But I hate waiting.

[ text ]

[ghoulking]

I know. Everyone in this situation does.

[caduceusvalkyrie]

I don't know. But I wish in this case it wasn't so long.

Text

[drivesadesk]

Me too. I hate waiting for dead people to come back to life. And Archie's a great guy when he's not being controlled by whatever that was. He didn't deserve that.

[She's really glad this is text because she's just teared up again at remembering he's gone.]

Archie wouldn't intentionally hurt someone the way he did during that mess. Archie is wonderful.

[drivesadesk]

I know. That's what makes waiting so hard. And seeing him act like he was.

Text

[caduceusvalkyrie]

It wasn't him. It was, but it wasn't and I'm really starting to hate this place.

Text

[drivesadesk]

I know.

I guess this just shows that every universe is shitty.

[caduceusvalkyrie]

Always fun when you get to that realisation.

[allforyuu]

It takes too long.

[Jonathan turns on his own video and just looks at the screen a moment before giving a one word response.]

Yeah.

[video]

[allforyuu]

[The reply he gets is in a monotone voice.]

How did they die?

[video]

[drivesadesk]

I didn't get any details. Just a post saying he was killed after he went on a plant based rampage.

[video]

[allforyuu]

He got himself killed by a plant?

[Judgy face.]

Re: [video]

[drivesadesk]

No. He was turning everything into plants. And then there was a fight and he ended up dead.

[video]

[allforyuu]

[Slowly it dawns on him just what must've happened, and Mika rubs his temple in irritation. This kind of thing never happened at home.]

....This place is so twisted. I take it it was an accident.

[video]

[drivesadesk]

What was an accident? Him getting killed or the plant thing?

[video]

[allforyuu]

The plant thing. Or is that his power?

Re: [video]

[drivesadesk]

No. It was...there was something controlling him. It was a power that belonged to whatever was controlling him.

[video]

[allforyuu]

I wasn't aware we had anyone in town with that kind of power. Could it have been something airborne?

[video]

[drivesadesk]

I don't know. Lucretia said that it was under control and wouldn't happen again, but I really would feel a bit more confident in that if I had more details.

[video]

[allforyuu]

Lucretia, huh.

[That sounds familiar. Too bad he has a hard time remembering human names.]

It would be better to know how to protect yourself and the people you care about. Leaving it up to others will leave you vulnerable to it happening again.

[video]

[drivesadesk]

I agree. Which is why I wish she was a little more willing to share what she knows.

[video]

[allforyuu]

Do you think she will?

[video]

[drivesadesk]

She hasn't been too willing to share much so far.

[video]

[allforyuu]

That is suspicious. She could very well do the same to your friend again, then.

[video]

[drivesadesk]

I don't think she did it, and I don't think she wanted it to happen, but she is hiding something.
