[u]Po can be seen in the courtyard drawing strange symbols with one hand while reading from an old leather-bound book. The symbols upon further inspection are being drawn with freshly drawn blood. The center of the symbols surround a dead body, seemingly preserved from all outside sources. As he draws more and more symbols, he mutters incomprehensible words and phrases under his breath. [/u]

*looks in it* Damn, that's some nasty stuff*
-
[u]Po closes it, latching the lock and shoving it back in his bag.[/u] Be careful not to read it for to long. It can cause mild to sever insanity. I know I certainly went insane for a few hundred years. I only snapped out of it a few years ago, but I still have some ticks. [u]He takes out a roll of herbs, sticking it in his mouth. He cups his hands around it. As he removes them, you can see he lit the roll. He starts to smoke it nervously.[/u]
-
Soo... It's perfect for me!
-
[u]Po shrugs.[/u] I guess. Just know that I'm never going to let anybody but me use this. It took me years to find it, so it feels like a part of me. Take it away, and I don't know what would happen.
-
I get it. I have only had this sword for a few months and I already have a connection to it. But, if you'd like, I can make a tattoo of it, so if you lose it, put your hand over the tattoo and voilà! It's there.
-
[u]Po shakes his head.[/u] I'd rather not. This thing... I hate it, but I cannot get rid of it because it keeps me alive. If someone were to take it, I would be joyous to be free of it's grip, but I might go insane from not having the comfort of it's presence. This book is a blessing and a curse at the same time.
-
In what way?
-
It's difficult to explain. You see, this is no ordinary book. It's not just a Necronomicon, it's THE Necronomicon. It keeps me alive so I may continue studying, but it slowly erodes at my soul, my very being. As I read more and more, I discover more and more ancient evils that are hidden within all of us. It's gotten to the point where I don't see people for for they are, but what darkness consumes their soul, writhing and trying to break out of it's cell.

*Sketch appears from the shadows.* "Lemme guess... Changing bodies?"
-
[u]Po nods, lifting up his shirt to reveal a blistered cavity in his chest.[/u] I accidentally injected myself with some poison that I didn't know the full effects of. The concentrate has already started to reach my heart, so it's beyond my healing capabilities. [u]Po covers the wound up, finishing the rest of the symbols. He removes a sacrificial blade from his belt. It's edges are covered with ornate carvings and ancient runes long forgotten. The edges of it are stained with dark, crimson splotches. He raises the knife too his head, mumbling something incomprehensible, then plunges it into his heart. As his body comes into contact with the symbols, darkness envelopes the body and the corpse. White strands spew out of Po's body, chaining together and flooding into the corpse. Color returns to the corpse's body. Suddenly, it sits up coughing and gasping for air.[/u]
-
"How do you feel?"
-
[u]Po stands up, clothing himself and wiping away the symbols. He packs his bags and sheaths the knife. He begins to stretch.[/u] A bit stiff. I didn't get the corpse until after the rigor mortis set in, so it's going to be hard to move for a while.
-
"Oh okay."
-
[b]The Deity walks by, and sees whatever it is you are doing...[/b] Uhhhhhhh. Not the weirdest thing I've seen. So....sweet mother sweet mother send your child unto me for the Sins of the unworthy must be baptized in blood and fear? That's what where doing right now right?
-
~WA-18 peeks from a corner, carrying a rocket launcher~ "DARK BROTHERHOOD!!!" ~Runs away~
-
[u]Po looks up, his eyes glazed over. He turns his head too you, his face soaked with sweat.[/u] Nothing like that, just changing bodies. I had a..... mishap with this one a little earlier. [u]Po raises his shirt, showing a blistered and rotting cavity covering the left side of his chest.[/u] I accidentally stabbed myself with a potent toxin that I hadn't fully known the effects of. It's already working it's way to my heart, so I need to change bodies fast. [u]Po covers the hole back up, finishing the rest of the circle. He removes a dagger from his bag. It's long, jagged blade is covered in ornate symbols and runes long forgotten. The edges of it are stained with crimson. He raises the blade too his forehead, almost as if he's praying to it. He takes the blade into both hands, then plunges it deep into his chest. As the blood from his body comes into contact with the symbols, a bright darkness envelopes both of the bodies. Strands of white erupt from Po's body, chaining together and flooding into the corpse. The corpse's face suddenly is flush with color. It sits up, coughing and sputtering.[/u]
-
[b]The Deity crosses his arms[/b] Like I said. Not the strangest thing. So what...you had a one night stand with a witch and now you got a bunch of powers? I did that once...long story.
-
[u]The newly awakened corpse quickly clothes itself, then wipes away the symbol.[/u] Nah. Just some necromancy to switch the old body out. I messed up with some chems I had been using, and they did damage that was beyond my healing studies. [u]The newly reborn Po starts to stretch, testing out the new body.[/u]

Edited by Inflatablepants: 4/30/2016 3:41:06 AM[b]The Deity crosses his arms. Still not looking too impressed[/b] Whelp. I'm gunna go make Jared my bitch again. Adios Corpse. [spoiler]was not really sure where this was going lol. Sorry.[/spoiler]
-
[u]Po waves stiffly, obviously annoyed by the lackluster response the deity gave to his demonstration. [/u] See yah later, big man. [u]Po picks up his things and starts to wander off.[/u]
