Ms. Lockenality. That would be creative, seeing as I created the name.

Anywaaaaaaay, who wants a LightoHeaven cookie? Or are y'all on--::is hit by lightning::--AAAAGGGGGGGSSFGGGGGHHH!

 

[Locket]

Creative, but not clever.

 

[MissCellaFane]

You all are vastly entertaining, I must say. haha!

Had a quick question for MD, though. In regards to the Cursed...what happens to those who are burned? I remember you saying that they heal quickly, even if parts of their bodies are severed or burned. I believe you mentioned something about how even if they're burned into a pile of ashes their spirits still remain. So...will they reform eventually into a Mist-cursed? Will the Mist-cursed simply exist now as a pile of ashes? lol. I wasn't sure what happened to those who were severely dismembered or burned to a crisp. Or...what if they're decapitated? rofl. Just want to know what damage the humans can do to the Cursed.

Lick-Lock, the Licking Croc of Never Ever Land!

 

[Locket]

Ew.

[Locket]

I'm still waiting for clever. Endearing would be nice, as well.

 

[LightofHeaven]

Now, now...don't be so greedy. Santa comes on Christmas.

Yes, Cella, the ashes will reform into the original form. They will also be aware of their condition, in a weird, ethereal sort of way. severed body parts continue to function as long as mechanisms permit. If you cut off their heads, they can still talk and things and are connected to their bodies by an ethereal thread, so they can control it, they just can't see it. All of the settlers' means of keeping them back have to do with delaying reformation. For instance, burn them and scatter their ashes on the wind. Bury pieces of them separately. Bind them with stones and sink them. Dump them in a river and let the tide carry them away. Feed them to the dogs. etc

Even then, the bits will find their way back together... It'll just be a looooong time.

 

[LightofHeaven]

so like zombies + Scabs + animatted dead

 

[MissCellaFane]

Haha. Gotcha. Makes sense. Also makes it very painful for the Mist-cursed. I'm assuming once a part of them is severed, they no longer feel pain in that part. Say someone removed their foot. That foot would no longer feel pain. But their ankle where it was severed would because that part is still connected to the brain. Ouch. Talk about a way to torture a Mist-cursed. Would be quite simple and infinitely more painful because they wouldn't have to worry about killing them.

 

[LightofHeaven]

I think the severed foot still feels pain.

 

[K9Guardian]

The way I see it is rather vague, but let's keep it simple. Disassembled, they don't feel pain, but they are aware of the sum totall of their parts. Ugly, but that's what makes it a curse.

 

[MissCellaFane]

Haha. Cool. So there will come a point where all pain stops. Sounds good to me.

 

[LightofHeaven]

Come get your fudgey bone-bone in FFWOE, bro.

 

[K9Guardian]

Dear brother, update/change your sig. it is direly out of par.

 

[LightofHeaven]

Wipe.

If Eph can do it, you should be able to do it too.

 

[LightofHeaven]

I don't know this Eph character.
