[ he can appreciate that tbh. paints a decent picture. ]

Self-sufficiency in such a capacity, working with what you have. Impressive.

[ but his brows are raised in interest. like by a millimeter. because that's just kind of how his face is. ]

Was that where your people chose to settle? Sounds isolated.

[ sounds nice— no ]

[outsidebones]

Not chose, precisely. We were given this land by the Emperor. Its isolation is by design; there is something dangerous locked away in the depths of the tomb, and we are tasked to guard it.

[she seems to brighten a bit about this.]

[awol]

Something dangerous? Do you know what's in it?

[ tilting his head ]

[outsidebones]

No one does. Other than God himself, that is.

[awol]

God.

[ huh. interesting. he does genuinely seem invested. ]

A workforce made of generations of your dead... how does that come to be?

[outsidebones]

It is a technique developed by my family. We imbue them with energy generates by the moment of their death.

[awol]

[ ... oh..... ]

Does something dictate how powerful that energy is?

[outsidebones]

The energy created by a violent death is stronger. But what is more critical is the natural ability to manipulate it.

[awol]

How many people possess this kind of ability?

[ because it'd be silly if everyone could make skeletons just wobble around, right?





right? ]

[outsidebones]

A small percentage of the population possess necromantic aptitude and very few indeed possess any particular skill.

[awol]

Considering the amount of bones on your profile... are you part of this population?

[outsidebones]

The very narrow portion of the population that excels, yes.
