I'm not calling you a ghost, just stop haunting me [ Week 10, Thursday]

[chiseler]

[It's about 8pm when Luke sets plans into action. Initially, he'd kept things between himself, Adam, Grell and Dorian. He hadn't anticipated that Dave would also be contacted by someone from the other side, nor did he anticipate the other things that had happened this week.

It takes a lot of convincing. It takes convincing the others and vouching for Dave, ensuring that no, he's pretty sure Dave isn't an alien and yes he does understand the risks of bringing someone in. But he feels like it's important that they all talk and start to put this puzzle together.

It doesn't hurt that all of them had also explored different sections of the top deck, too.

So it's Thursday evening shortly after dinner that he rounds up the group and tells them to wait in the chapel for him. The doors lock once they're all inside and the lights are low, but at least they can all fit comfortably in here and it's less conspicuous than the viewport. Like on Tuesday, Luke's leading the discussion and he leans back in one of the pews, looking at the other four thoughtfully.]

We are gathered here today because...well, a bunch of dead people are talking to us. [That's about it.] We should compare notes further and see if there's any sort of answer we can come up with. Who wants to go first?

It takes more than a single bullet to stop a demon on the best of days. I'm not surprised it barely had an effect on our dear Rhys.

[you'd be surprised at what demons can come back from, Dave.]

[chiseler]

So then our next step should be...what, figuring out the best way to kill them in case we run into them unprepared?

[erythristic]

If you can't inflict massive damage on them in one blow - explosives, fire, the like - I'd say decapitation's the best way to go. Unless you know of something that can live without a head?

[chiseler]

[He gives her a blank look.] Uh. A hydra? [Eheh...] They sprout new heads every time one's cut off. In that case the only way to really beat them is burning them but even then some of their heads spit acid and fire. They're pretty nasty to fight, but they're also good for business. Donut shops, you know?

[parodeity]

Wait wait wait. Hydra donuts?

[ that sounds gross

he wants to try one ]

[chiseler]

[He waves a hand.] Back home there's this chain called Monster Donut which is pretty much how it sounds. It's a chain of donut shops that's attached to the lifeforce of the Hydra. Every time one of its heads gets cut off, two more heads show up and a shop pops up somewhere in America. The donuts actually aren't that bad either. [And here he looks almost proud.] Some of Hermes' kids figured out a method to capitalize on it. Only problem is that monsters are the only ones who can purchase donuts from the shops. They have a tendency to want to kill demigods. Can't imagine why. [Don't be a sarcastic shit, Luke.]

[parodeity]

...So are the donuts like, normal donuts, or made from monsters?

[ dave is just going to focus on the IMPORTANT DETAILS here!!!!!!!!!

god he's useless ]

[chiseler]

I mean...they taste like normal donuts. [So he's neither confirming nor denying SORRY DAVE.] If I ever figure out how to get them out here in space, I'll let you try one.
