heromedal: (Oooooh no.)

Memory Sharicus - Oh No, not again!

About 8 am on July 15th, Rex does something stupid in his usual genius way. It was meant to be a small, simple test run of a method to scan a person and instantly gain all the data he needed to produce a Phantom.

The small field the spell was meant to spread just kept growing, until popping like a bubble with the most counterintuitive sound of all- two seconds of white noise, sounding as if it was coming from inches away. Not everyone heard it. But everyone who did...

It's a painless process, almost ticklish and instantaneous as numerous coloured orbs fly out from their chest, taking wild curving trajectories that launch them all over the academy and some of Soleil, coming to a sudden stop and hovering silently for just a few seconds.

That's when they start to slowly float towards the nearest possible recipient of the memory they contain, accelerating as they get closer as if thought and mind have a unique sort of magnetism.

It's sort of beautiful to see, really, not that Rex will notice because 60% of his mind is consumed with fear he will get into trouble and the Phantom project will be compromised. On the other hand, the Phantom project could provide the perfect scapegoat. So about six hours after the initial event, he released his latest creation- the Phantom mischief-maker, Waggery!

What a disaster.

Sometimes there are things that people feel are worth the price. Not everyone fears death in the same way...they only fear others' deaths, and not their own.

When those ideas clash, they create...difficult situations. [ He sounds curious, with his next statement. ]

Not something a daemon would ever take up, then? [ Maybe Valvatorez was just a very big exception. He was exceptional in other ways, after all.

He doesn't know that much about daemons. He knows they exist, and they have their own ways, their own societies. But he tends to view them much as he does any other sort of culture and civilisation - there are exceptions everywhere. He tries not to assume. It's the sort of thing that could catch him off guard when he can't afford to be.

I suppose...

[He tilts his head, considering that for a moment. There's hardly any way he can speak for every daemon, but-]

Not the daemons I've known. Most of them are too selfish, too concerned with their own gains, to ever worry about someone else's death.

Not to mention most daemons don't die of natural causes.
