⚜ ᴛᴡᴇɴᴛʏ-ꜰɪʀsᴛ - [ ᴛᴇxᴛ + ᴀᴄᴛɪᴏɴ ]
Action: Fairy Haven, Master's Quarters - Open to any member of Fairy Tail or anyone who lives in Fayren Haven
{ It would be quiet; barely audible, depending on where one was in the sprawling compound that Fairy Tail calls home. It was unmistakably Zeref's voice, but there could be none other heard. It might sound as if he were just... talking to himself. }
I almost gave this to them, you know. I was curious to know what they would have done with it.
{ There's the sound of rustling. Zeref sounded slightly sleepy, if one bothered to listen, as if he had only just woken up despite it being the middle of the afternoon. Maybe he was up late? }
What would they have done? Destroyed it? Opened it? They would have been in for a surprise if they had.
{ Whoever he's speaking to doesn't respond. If one bothers to peek into the room... he's speaking to a book laying on a desk parallel to the bed, propped up against the wall. Completely seriously, as if the book were alive and he was somehow expecting it to respond.
Suddenly, Zeref sighs, reaching for the white, outer-layer of his robe, unceremoniously discarded at the foot of the bed. He pulls it on, over the rest of his outfit. }
Why do I bother? I doubt you can hear me, anymore. I wonder if you're even alive in our world without this.

I'd like to pose a rhetorical question, if I may. Much has been made about the issue of necromancy, in this world. The act of reanimating the dead into 'undead,' as the term I've been hearing up until now.
What I've heard little about is resurrection. Not merely reanimating the dead; restoring life itself. Reversing death. Bringing a soul back from the afterlife and returning it to this world. In my world, it is taboo, regardless of the circumstances or how unfair or undeserved the death was.
Death is ultimately meaningless in this world, at least for those of us with amulets. When one of us dies, we reawaken in the Bay, even if doing so often has a price. Regardless, I've heard some of us say that impermanent death cheapens it.
Why this distinction? What difference is there, truly, between necromancers, and whomever, or whatever it was that brought us here reducing death to a mere transaction?

{ It was highly unlikely that Genessia would accept it as payment, given that he'd do anything - anything - to be rid of it. That sort of a deal would be a win-win for him. }
I do. Or at least, I did. I am forced to look upon everyone around me as if their life holds no value in order to spare their lives from the Curse.
{ And if that sounds contradictory to him... well, that's kind of the point. }
Re: Text
I see. What have you tried to ameliorate it?

Re: Text
Research? To what end?
[Wait that wasn't what he wanted to ask]
I meant to ask: what cures have you sought to end the curse? What hasn't worked so far?

Suffice it to say that I ultimately reached the conclusion that nothing within the means of mere humans can accomplish it.
{ Use your own imagination as to what that means he's tried to do to himself. }
Re: Text
[Probably for the best. People curious about necromancy give him suspicion enough as it is.]
Sounds natural; it seems like a deeply inhuman curse. What of divinity?

Re: Text
[Sounds like there's more backstory behind that]
How so?

Re: Text (whoops, used wrong account)
At any rate, it looks like the texting is winding down. He still wants to help, but he doesn't know any other way but the divine, which rarely goes out of its way to aid those who scorn it.
Ah, what the hell.]
Well, there are gods and there is God. If any could give you rest from that affliction, it's Him.
[But if Zeref won't ask, he will. Who knows, might do some good.]
At any rate, go under the Benevolence.
