[video + text] IT'S ALIIIIIIIIIVE

[There is a short, clearly accidental clip that takes place inside Jezebel's laboratory. On one of the tmetal tables sits a young woman wearing a simple robe, staring blankly ahead at Jezebel and a tall figure standing with him. You might recognize the girl; she was once the corpse that Jezebel was sewing together.

She steps onto the floor from the table, standing straight and walking a few steps, her face expressionless. With a small cry, the figure near Jezebel rushes forward and embraces her, cooing and muttering endearments at her while stroking her hair. The girl doesn't seem to react. And all the while, Jezebel stands to the side, taking notes.]

[The text is clearly not written for the community's sake; it's Jezebel's notes, scrawled haphazardly across the page.]

M has awoken five minutes after ritual. Motor and verbal skills are excellent, no signs of physical deterioration or remaining injuries.

Shows signs of amnesia -- did not recognize J. Showing complete lack of emotion. Overlooked brain damage? Result of trauma from death/betrayal? Investigate.

Meeting with CM tomorrow. Bring notes.

[And then, in even sloppier handwriting than the rest, is a small note that was clearly written long after the rest in the midst of excitement]

M is showing signs of clairvoyance.

Be that as it may, my similarities with the original Frankenstein are few. For starters, he had no idea what he'd done, while I am more than aware.

That only makes you more disgusting.

[delilahs-reaper.livejournal.com]

It's disgusting to return to life what was once dead?

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

It's unnatural and I'm sure you do it for selfish reasons.

[delilahs-reaper.livejournal.com]

All medicine is unnatural. It interferes with the pattern of disease and then dying, but I doubt you would consider those to be sins.

I do it for the sake of discovery and for Delilah.

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

If you were dying, wouldn't you trust medicine to help you? or woudl you die for the sake of not interfering with the natural process of live and death.

How nice of you.

[delilahs-reaper.livejournal.com]

That's my entire point. You call what I do unnatural, but that is what all medicine does. It interferes with the natural process of illness and death.

I am a loyal servant always.

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

You didn't answer my question.

[delilahs-reaper.livejournal.com]

Using medicine to interfere with the process of death is logical, even if unnatural. Just as how resurrection is no more a sin than medicine, even if it unnaturally postpones death.

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

Oh, now medicinal is the logical answer, and that's why you would use it to save yourself. You are as much as an hypocrite as everyone else.

[delilahs-reaper.livejournal.com]

I think you've lost sight of how this conversation began. I am advocating bringing the dead back because it is like medicine in its ability to combat death. Nowhere have I argued that using medicine is wrong. Hence, no hypocrisy.

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

I'm aware of what we were discussing, but you always claim that we do unnatural things and then you do the same. Knowing you, it's easy to see that you wouldn't bring the death back if the wasn't a selfish reason behind.

[delilahs-reaper.livejournal.com]

You're assuming I meant that 'unnatural' meant the same thing as 'wrong'. On the contrary, I advocate both medicine and resurrection because they are unnatural.

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

You sure make it sounds like that most of the time.

[delilahs-reaper.livejournal.com]

It's not my fault if you twist and misunderstand my words.
