[Okay but WHY ARE THE SPRINKLERS ON in the foyer and all along the central corridors?]

[They're just ... going to keep going. And going. And going, for just over half an hour, until there are some nice puddles all over the floors.]

[How to put it...]

Taking apart a corpse to find cause of death.

[anoblecaws]

...Where do I sign up?

[Henry, ladies and gentlemen.]

[goodbyenurse]

Your devotion to the macabre is admirable. I believe you will need a college degree fist.

[anoblecaws]

Well, gloomy things are pretty much my favourite things ever!

...a what.

[This is, so far, just an exciting conga line of things Henry doesn't completely understand. But that's fine, because this lady's job sounds pretty cool now that he thinks about it. Granted, he doesn't get to murder everyone in cold blood, which is unfortunate, but...]

[goodbyenurse]

A degree. You go to a large institution of learning to find out how the body works so that you can know how to find and report what is wrong with the corpses.

[anoblecaws]

Well, large institution of learning I've got! Except it mostly taught magic.

[goodbyenurse]

Oh..? What sort of magic did you learn?

[anoblecaws]

All sorts! I'm really good at dark magic, especially.

[goodbyenurse]

Darkness, you say..?

How odd. Perhaps we are somewhat more alike than would be seen at first glance.

[anoblecaws]

Well, my darkness isn't just darkness. It's also memory, emotions, death, transformation, and other things that can't really be handled using regular elements like lightning or fire!

[goodbyenurse]

Oh? Mine generally involves the void, gravity, and utterly unmaking things.

[anoblecaws]

Oh, the void and utterly unmaking things, I can do! ...Kinda. I don't have the right spellbooks for that stuff right now.

Gotta channel power and all that.

[goodbyenurse]

I see... My seal handles that for me.

[anoblecaws]

Seal? What kind?

[He props his head up on his hands, leaning against the table. Most of the seals he knows are for prohibiting things, not encouraging them.]

[goodbyenurse]

It is known as the Elemental Seal of Darkness. It holds back certain dark deities, but also provides its holder with certain capabilities related to the element.

[anoblecaws]

You guys consider darkness an element, huh? We always called the elemental magic stuff that you can easily see in the world, more or less -- fire, water, air, and so on. Dark magic was everything else.

'Cause you can't see it.

So it's dark.
