"I should kill you where you stand." I really should have killed him, not that I could have probably, Morley always has a back up plan. Its like we are complete opposites int hat regard, he always has a follow up, I don't even have a starter plan to back up!
"You could try, you'd fail, but you could try." Morley was by himself, which was odd for him, it made me wonder for a moment if I was hallucinating. It wouldn't be the first, or last time I know. He was dressed in his usual formal all black, though I did notice his skin color was all bad, like he'd always been a pale guy but there was a rot to the white now, it looked like he'd developed some kind of disease.
"You look terrible Morley."
"Well I admit I don't look like you naked as the day you were born sitting on a beach smelling of recently burned flesh, yes, but I am in a lot better places than you'll ever be in your life." I have to appreciate that Morley just can't say hello, he has to insult to start off. I mean I do it too, but I don't look like an asshole like Morley does.
"What do you want and how did you find me?"
"I followed the destruction, and I need you to look into something for me."
"You're a dick, see I looked into it no need for me any longer." See I did that thing where I assumed what he wanted to know was he was an asshole and I decided to speed it up and just tell him he was.
"If only I didn't need you I'd kill you where you stand."
"Oh you must be in real trouble if you forgo the death threat for my help, and why Morley should I help you?"
"Because as you note how I look this could very much happen to you, apparently our benefactor didn't exactly explain the dangers of necromancy, and unless what's happening to me can become reversed you and I both do not have forever to live as we surmise." Color me intrigued, which angered me because I should have killed Morley, or failing that walked away. I did neither. Well I eventually walked away because I was cold and public nudity is a thing (I know right? You would think I was doing a service for everyone, no apparently that's against the law! SCREW YOUR LAWS!!!), but I was terrified of dying, and Morley was making it seem like that could happen to me. Which was a complete lie, but I didn't know it at the time, because Morley is a bastard who will die alone someday BUT NOT ANYTIME SOON DUE TO ME GODS DAMN IT!!
