[There was a trial today! Did you earn some Sparks for a new purchase or new memory? Did you miss it entirely and are gonna be miffed at the lost opportunity? Are you too busy doing other cool stuff and don't really care? What are you doing right now, Aurora? LET'S MINGLE.]

An old friend, actually. This is Lori, she's one of my familiars.

[the skeleton clacks her beak, cocking her head to the side to eye him]

[malignstar]

... are they all skeletons?

Where'd she come from?

[bowtiedbones]

Of course they are. All dragons, too.

She's from Polynesia.

[malignstar]

Why are they all skeletons?

[bowtiedbones]

I'm a necromancer. Do you really have to ask?

[malignstar]

Okay, okay, necromancer. How did you make her show up now?

[bowtiedbones]

I turned in one of my tokens.

[malignstar]

Tokens?

[bowtiedbones]

Points? I get powers and familiars back instead of memories.

[malignstar]

Oh, that's how that works. I was wondering since you remembered most of your stuff.

[bowtiedbones]

Yeah. Some people lose magic, some people lose memories, some people lose neither.

[malignstar]

How many familiars do you have?

[bowtiedbones]

Four. I'm still waiting for Tiberius.

[malignstar]

What does Tiberius look like?

[bowtiedbones]

Tiberius has a head the size of a van.

[malignstar]

How did you find these dragons? And were they alive at the time?

[bowtiedbones]

Have I not told you anything about what my job is? Also that's a terrible way to phrase that question unless you want nasty implications.

[malignstar]

I'm not saying you did anything! I'm curious if you saw them when they were alive versus just skeletons. Because I bet they looked even more amazing in the flesh!

[bowtiedbones]

They probably did, and I could show you if I had the spell back, but they're extinct. Isildur and Isolde are over 5,000 years dead.

[malignstar]

Oh, that's right! You're like an archaeologist.

[bowtiedbones]

In a distant way? Archeologists study humans.

[malignstar]

Right, you're more like a paleontologist.

[bowtiedbones]

I'm exactly a paleontologist.

[malignstar]

So when'd you decide to necromance what you find?

[bowtiedbones]

When I was twelve. I wanted to summon dragons, but all the ones I wanted most were extinct.
