14 BRAINS ; REINTRO, VIDEO

[livable]

[ She'd been here before. And she remembered having time to grieve, but having left and come back, the most recent memories weren't pleasant ones and without a the cold brains of a professional mercenary-slash-hitman to keep that down, Liv took a while to even get out of her pod.

She lay silently, staring at the rugged stone ceiling of the Bay, letting only the sound of the water's ripples and echoes fill her ears. Even without the panic of not knowing where she was, what had once been scars were freshly opened wounds and a reminder that what she had made her life's purpose was once again out of reach in a land where anyone real who died was brought back. A silent twenty minutes later, she took a forced breath. First step: food. Which meant the first step of the first step was finding out if anyone was working in the morgue right now and to get her job back.

Hospital Morgue Shenanigans for Edward Nygma.

With food out of the way and a fresh brain kicking in, it was time to greet the public. Olivia Moore back in action. The video starts with her looking like she's just been stretching, wearing a tank top. ]

Rob Thomas died in my world. Sorry to the Matchbox Twenty fans, may he rest in peace. [ Or in the stomachs of a bunch of military contractor zombies. But you know. ]

Last thing I remember here was the winter party. What'd I miss? Make it snappy, I've got a 5k to run before lunch. A day without a jog is a day lived like a log.

[ Health nut. At least running is a good distraction. Good to know what kind of brain she'd nabbed out of the morgue. Guess you can eat pine nut and kale smoothies all you want, they're not going to stop an out-of-control mini-van. ]

Comments

[acrostic]

Yes. [ Easier said than done, right?

Unfortunately, he doubts Liv is going to be keen on murdering someone, even if their victim is a nice volunteer they somehow manage to find. He has killed someone - but that's how he found out they don't collect people without necklaces. He's incredibly Pro-Murder but he's definitely not going to tell her that.

There's been a few options with this but none he wanted to pursue by himself just yet. If there's a pair of scientists, one being extremely trusted by the masses here, more progress can be made. ]

Precognition? [ He nods, enthusiastically. ] Even if they don't specifically see death, finding someone with that ability could be useful if they're willing to share predictions. Knowing when one of the more unusual occurrences in Genessia is about to take place could help us make preparations. Create an accurate timeline.

[livable]

Well, that too. I more just meant.. find someone who's going to die, subtle hang around with them until they do so we can follow them. Not exactly the least morbid of options but if it's going to happen anyway at least we can find out what happens after that.

[ And feel horribly guilty about it for a while. One of these scientists has a conscience. ]

[acrostic]

Yes, of course. [ He's thinking too far ahead. ] It's a good idea. [ A pause, with a frown added to his face for authenticity. ] Not intervening will be difficult. [ He could easily sit there and watch someone die for the sake of scientific discovery but he's pretty sure someone with strong morals might chicken out knowing they might be able to prevent a death that's about to happen.

Hopefully she won't feel too bad about it. ]

[livable]

Intervening might be what causes it in the first place, too.

[ you do not know the lengths to which liv is take her self-guilt trips, ed, this is a terrible idea even if she thinks it's a good one right now. ]

[acrostic]

Oh! Certain predictions only becoming accurate because someone is around to hear them and enact the circumstances leading up to the event. [ That sounds like the kind of science he wants to be part of. Causality! Too excited? He's trying to tone it down. They're talking about causing a murder. ]

As long as neither of us intentionally causes it, I suppose we can't technically be murderers.

[livable]

Let's just try not to cause anyone's death and be unbiased, scientific observers.

[ That's.. she can do that. Right? Right.

She might need to start looking for the right meal ahead of time just in case she doesn't have someone heartless the day-of. ]

[acrostic]

I'm sure we can achieve that much.

[ Or he can, anyway. Liv might depend on her mood that day. She sure has a lot of them. ]

Let me know when we might be ready to do this. In the meantime, I'll leave an inquiry with Mayor Cobblepot to see if he knows of anyone with that ability.

[livable]

Soon as we find someone who can help and a basic time frame, let the stalk-a-thon begin.

[ She's joking at least. Less of a nervous mood. That's better. Yeah?? ]
