[It's a beautiful day for one Miss Lily Evans at 1485 Kramden Rd. For one thing, there is personal mail addressed to her right on the kitchen table. A beautifully wrapped package with colorful paper that looks suspiciously like a wand box. Lily's excitment evaporates the moment her drone mother starts interrogating her about the sender. Is it a boy? Why are you not telling her about her boy friend, Lily? Why not open it right here and now, Lily? Gee, Mommy wants to see, too!

So she's racing up the stairs, package in hand, instead, slamming the door shut for extra effect to tear the packaging open.]

They gave it back! It's back!

.: Outside 1485 Kramden Rd :.

[There is a big pile of stuffed animals on which Lily's testing her wand on. And then there is a smaller pile of stuffed unicorns, which she's transfiguring the original pile into.]


.: Phone - Filtered from drones :.

I know this is an odd thing to ask, but has anyone here really returned from the dead once they've passed away in Mayfield, for whatever reason?

It happens fairly often. The town meddles in things they shouldn't.

[The first part sounds friendly enough, but the second makes it clear that she is not impressed with Mayfield]

[bespell]

Would it be crass of me to be interested in how they bring people back to life?

[bread_goes_bip]

There's a machine, but by all rights, it shouldn't work.

[bespell]

That sounds horrific!

[bread_goes_bip]

It's utterly wrong, there's no question of that.

[bespell]

It's unnatural. It's worse than-- [Lily's about to gush into an outburst about magic, but she stills her tongue. There are some branches of magic that aren't talked about, due to their terrific dark nature.]

[bread_goes_bip]

There are things no one is meant to interfere with, and life and death falls quite firmly into that category.

[bespell]

[She nods emphatically, before remembering, again, that she can't be seen over the phone.] How are those who return from the dead? Are they... Healthy? Do they act normally?

[bread_goes_bip]

They used to return as if nothing had happened. Since January there have been lingering effects, but they pass with time.

[bespell]

Like the reopened wounds?

[bread_goes_bip]

Like that. Sometimes they'll tamper with people's minds as well. I'm not sure if it's on purpose or just the fact that it's not something to be meddled with.

[bespell]

[To an adolescent, the thrill and threat of death is relative. It's tempting to push and see how far can one go, along with a lack of caution that doesn't disappear until well into maturity.]

That doesn't sound fair at all. That's too much to fight against.

[bread_goes_bip]

No... Mayfield isn't famous for being very fair, unfortunately.
