repo! the genetic opera (d1) graverobber

(no subject)

[It occurred to Graverobber that it might be easier to get through his work without sirens and being shot at if he's on another plane of existence entirely. So that's what he's doing!

He's brought a few bodies to a relatively low-traffic area of the Plane and is busy extracting Zydrate from them. Every once in a while he vanishes and comes back lugging another corpse.]

[And Pino just sort of pops up near one of the bodies, crouching down to inspect them. She's just wearing her overalls today, so that her metal parts are revealed.] Are they dead?

{:9 delicious corpses}

Ne, you look like you're doing something curious~

[How awkward! He freezes with his needle in a dead woman's nose.]

Kid!

Yeah, they are.

Just my job.

Really? What's your job, then?

How come? How'd they die? Were they your friends?

Uh. Well. It happens to everyone sooner or later, I have no idea, and no.

I'm a graverobber.

Oh, that's bad, though, isn't it? {Like she's one to talk}

They're dead. It's a victimless crime.

I don't think many people here would agree.

{Smiles~} What are you taking, though?

They wouldn't be alone.

[GR unscrews the vial of blue liquid from the extractor and switches it out for an empty one.] Zydrate.

And what is that?

Oh. Is it less sad if people die and they're not friends?

[This trickster mazoku appears and observes for a moment. And this time he's perfectly whole as opposed to previous meetings!]

... I must say that's something new to see!

[Ooh! Bodies! Bai (being Bai) will be watching and looking rather interested] What are you doing?

[Corpses have a tendency to attract vampires like Drusilla, unfortunately. She wanders over and kneels down to examine the bodies curiously.]

They're too old. They're not going to rise again.

Pretty much.

It's a drug. The drug.

I've never heard of it.

[Graverobber sort of doubletakes.]

They did a good job.

Exactly what it looks like.

[He raises an eyebrow and carefully withdraws the needle.] That's the way I like them.

Not a lot of people here have.

Is it okay to feel less sad about it, then?
