TLV - Admiral Requests
Post your requests to the Admiral below (and also a note if you would specifically like that request to be rejected), and we will get to them in a timely manner. All Admiral requests (with the exception of Inmate resurrections) must go through this post, and their approval cannot be handwaved. Additionally, requests will only be granted to Wardens.
Unless otherwise specifically noted, all threads on this post are considered to be Private.
Though the Barge does not speak in any traditional way and is not reachable by communicator, it is sentient, and characters occasionally reach out to it via tapping on walls in Morse Code, spelling out messages in alphabet-letter fridge magnets, and other creative methods; if your character decides to try this, those messages may be dropped here as well!
Backdated to the Golden Days Flood
Admiral, I need some advice.
[ Clearly, considering he's just made two resurrection requests in the span of ten minutes. ]

Re: Backdated to the Golden Days Flood
Which he is obviously not going to say out loud, but he does laugh a little. (It's more of a choked, rasping chuckle, but still.) ]
I feel like. This is just going to be an ongoing cycle until the week ends. [ And he doesn't know how to stop it, beyond the one thing he absolutely refuses to do.
After a moment, almost tentatively - ]
You couldn't actually keep him like this, I suppose. Spare him all of that time.
[ ...Is this what it feels like, to put your faith in a god?
He doesn't like it. ]
Re: Backdated to the Golden Days Flood
It has already happened, Zersha. He survived it, will he nil he, and another century besides, before he came into my hands.
Which is to say, theoretically, yes I could. But it would be on the scale of things which require a deal, and it would destroy the person he is now, more utterly than any death.
Re: Backdated to the Golden Days Flood
He did expect to be angrier about it, but laid out that way, in that tone -
Zerxus sighs, too, weary and ragged as he lets his head knock back against the wall. Besides him, Tempus - noble saviour of his communicator - nuzzles into his shoulder. ]
Right. Should I just - wait until the week has passed, to ask again? Is that robbing him of days outside of that cage, or sparing him the dread of what's to come? Would it hurt him, to be dead for that long?
[ He hasn't felt this lost since - well, since waking up here, frankly, but before that it had been a while. ]
Re: Backdated to the Golden Days Flood
But I can tell you that it will not harm him, for the timing to shift a few days one way or the other.
Re: Backdated to the Golden Days Flood
My view is limited. I don't even remember meeting him, not properly. I don't remember agreeing to any of this, I -
[ He cuts himself off there, because it's starting to sound dangerously close to whining, or confessing, or lamenting.
What matters right now is Kahl, and a promise he doesn't know how to keep. ]
...Could you just - stop him from being able to hurl himself off the Barge? Not by taking the teleportation away, just -
[ A very specific barrier, or something? He doesn't know how this shit works. ]
Re: Backdated to the Golden Days Flood
I could curtail the void from his available destinations. If that's what you think best.
Re: Backdated to the Golden Days Flood
[ He doesn't sound confident, but he does sound determined. ]
...One more question. Do death tolls stack?
Re: Backdated to the Golden Days Flood
Re: Backdated to the Golden Days Flood
You know, if you let me revive people you'd have slightly less work to do.
[ He has obvious limits, but he could at least spare people some suffering now and then.
Like three death tolls, for instance. It's too late now, either way, he just - needs to make the point. ]
Re: Backdated to the Golden Days Flood
Is there a reason you didn't try that before calling me?
Re: Backdated to the Golden Days Flood
[ Wait. ]
I can't, not yet.
[ He got so caught up in echoed indignation that he'd forgotten. It'll be years before he can cast that. ]
This flood is very hard to deal with. For the record. [ No, sir, he does not buy that they're mere hazards of the ride. ]
Re: Backdated to the Golden Days Flood
Well, do bear it in mind.
Re: Backdated to the Golden Days Flood
[ He knows he made his own problem and he would do it again.
Much more quietly, a few moments later - ]
...Thank you.
[ Nope not elaborating CLICK ]
