Case 7 --partly-video--

[manofgnee]

Ah, jeez, it's dark out today...well, I guess that's to be expected...

One big plague left...aw jeez...

Oh! I need some advice about something.

[The camera turns on and cuts to a lamb, sitting on some newspaper, chewing a plant.  One of its legs is wrapped up in bandages, which are soaking up blood. Hanna goes into the camera briefly, petting the lamb, who bleats happily, before he turns to the camera and sighs, smiling weakly before turning it off.]



Uh...this is Iznagi.

...I couldn't do it, I just couldn't do it.  I tried, I really did...but look at him! Look at his cute little ears! How could I kill him, he's adorable!

I planned on giving him a last meal and doing it quickly and getting it over with...but I couldn't! I missed, thank God, and just hurt his leg, so I feel terrible about that, but he's still alive...

I couldn't do it, but I've got some of his blood on bandages and rags...if I smeared that on the door, would that be enough?  Or is there still some other option I haven't found yet? I tried to get blood out of lamb meat, that didn't really work...is there some place in the city that isn't affected by this insanity?

Oh, no no no, Iznagi, don't eat that, that's for people!! Stop!

...Heh heh...I kiiinda need to know what lambs eat, besides plants.  Iznagi seems to like leftover pancakes...but I doubt that's good for him, soooo...

Of course! I didn't want to let him out there where he could get hurt again...so I named him after I decided he could stay with me.

So I see.

I cannot fault you for adopting the popular belief that sacrificing a lamb is necessary for survival, given the queer circumstances. That said, do you have an alternative solution? If I feared the last plague, I would not chance it on a few blood-soaked bandages.

I've got protections up around the apartment...but if what they say is true about this actually being Death, I don't know how much good they'll do.

I've tried to come up with some alternatives, but they still all revolve around the blood thing, since I just don't know what we're up against...but whatever it is, I'm going to face it head on.

I hope for your sake that is enough. This is truly an unstable environment, and with very few promising facts.

A commendable decision! Should you still be with us tomorrow, I have a request. A short time ago, you mentioned a paranormal demonstration. It is now within my interest to know more.

I hope it's enough too...

Of course! Just let me know when you'd like a demonstration!

Splendid, I will expect you tomorrow at ten. The address is 221 Building 2.

Event this later, yes?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Awesome!!

Very yes <3

[no-commonplace.livejournal.com]

Indeed. Good night, and good health.

Tomorrow then, da?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]
