[A combination of deep exasperation and resignation doesn't show in Altaรฏr's 'handwriting', but if it could, it absolutely would.]

We discovered a pair of mated lizards in the woods of Solvunn some time ago. One appears entirely normal, the other is half-mechanical, with gears in its midsection. It should clearly be dead regardless of where those gears came from, and yet it both lives and has fathered eggs.

[Unspoken: 'That's fucked up, right?'

Hilda's handwriting interjects, clearly addressing Altaรฏr. ]

[He feels as though he should be too dignified and composed for internal bickering in front of others but he absolutely is not.]

Miracle implies the presence of divinity. This is clearly something else. I would like to know what, and to know whether any other Summoned have encountered anything similar.

[ Somewhere Hilda is rolling her eyes and mimicking him but thankfully everyone else is spared the theatrics. ]

That's a long way to go for the faint possibility of information.

[He's not against it if it comes down to that, but he's also not thrilled by the possibility. Besides, who knew what they might come back to. Who knew what two weeks straight in Hilda's presence would do to him.]

It would be worth it to know whether the metal is the same, at least.

I will wait and sit in the suspense, no problem.
I'm pretty patient.

I like rings and necklaces, but I'm not picky. I would love to see your work regardless of what I like.

[Viktor is, of course, incredibly curious about the bag, but nods in recognition when he sees what's inside. He'd examined it briefly when it was in Tony's possession, but if he's being honest, hasn't thought much about it since then.]

I've seen this before.

[It puzzled him at the time, and it puzzles him now.]

I remember thinking it was strange, how the metal parts were almost...grafted.

[Perhaps it's a topic to be broached some other day. When Sephiroth is feeling more like talking about the inner workings of Shinra; the less flattering bits.]

I may do that when I find time in-between assigned shifts.

I hope Veliki does well in the meantime.

I guess on the one hand it's kinda badass? Not gonna lie, I kiiiiinda wanna see the robo-lizard.

On the other hand, definitely fucked up.

Not that I ever saw.
People often had replacement bones and shit?
But not metal parts where key organs are meant to be.
How does that even work?

[personal profile] frontlinetitties 2023-06-14 10:06 am (UTC)(link)
Fair one.
I guess it's only a bit weirder than necromancy when you really think about it.
Or maybe less weird depending on your point of view.

Congrats to the happy father, I guess?

I mean, necromancy is kinda used to stop people from dying sometimes.
Like, you can replace lost bones with other bones?
Flesh adepts can fix up wounds and shit?
It's not all about raising skeletons to do the dishes or whatever.
So maybe you're right.
Maybe he just needed patching up but with metal bits or something.

A really good necro can do it through skill alone, but less good ones cheat with like pins and globs of tendon and stuff. They really did do the chores though.

What kind of thing did they think it was pointing to?

It's really not that interesting, you're not missing anything. Although maybe I only think that because it was the norm for me, you know?

For medical advancement or like...nefarious shit?

Did you?

[Rhetorical questions. It makes sense, of course. Geralt would have as much sense as they do about who could share some useful insights. Maybe more, since they hadn't brought the creature to Viktor right away.]

These pieces might not replace vital parts of the body like on the lizard, but it would be no less difficult to do. And then there's the question of whether or not it was a willing enhancement.

[Something that matters more when it comes to humans.]

[personal profile] frontlinetitties 2023-06-22 11:56 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I think I could do that. Any fucker can be a necro in the Horizon after all. Kinda.

Have they seen it happening here, or in their home worlds?
