The War

Florence didn't respond at all.

Dark poked the lizard thing with her foot.

Nothing happened.

"Is it dead?'"

"It looks like it." Joshua said.

Dark shrugged and brought Florence inside.

Joshua followed.

Dark found an empty room and tossed Florence gently on the bed in a non-sexual way.

OOC: Um, okay

IC: Florence just lay on the bed, still unconscious.

"What's wrong with him?"

OOC: People are weird.

"What do you mean?" Joshua asked.

OOC: ?

"Why is he all bloody and stuff."

OOC: People find it threatening and sexual.

OOC: That is weird

IC: "Probably because that thing nearly killed him."

OOC: I know.

IC: "But there's not a mark."

"I can see that, but there's no way he could have managed to get away from a Dagannoth, even a baby like that one, without a single scratch. He should be dead." Joshua wasn't sure exactly how Florence had lived, and what made less sense was the fact that he had no wounds. Still, he was unconscious and the Dagannoth was dead, so perhaps there had been someone else there, possibly someone who knew healing magic.

"So..." Dark had no idea what a dagannoth was or how to help.

Joshua figured he should probably explain. "Dagannoth are creatures that once roamed this earth. Similarly to dragons, the Dagannoth exist for far longer than humans. In the beginning, the weren't aggressive, but humans began hunting them for their hides to make armor. Of course, when the Dagannoth fought back, humans stood no chance. Many civilizations were wiped out in a matter of days. Gaia, who favored humans, would not stand for this. She banished the Dagannoth deep beneath the earth, where humans would never bother them and the could never bother humans again. Of course, the one we saw earlier must have somehow escaped from its banishment and returned to the human world. Also, it seems that it has greatly damaged Florence's soul, so it's possible that the Dagannoth was what was draining all of our energy in the first place."

"Oh..." Dark was unsure what to do medically.

"His wounds have already been healed, and his soul will repair itself naturally. I suppose all you can do is wake him up from this coma."

"How?" Dark didn't really know much about helping reapers.

"I dunno, shock him or something."

Dark thought for a moment and slapped him.

Nothing happened.

Dark was unamused. She decided to take things literally and used some electricity. It was slightly unpredictable.

Joshua hadn't meant literally.

Florence woke up when the electricity hit him. Owww.
