hey guys! happy vday and stuff! quick q!

how much time needs to pass for grave robbing to become archaeology? like, if i pull a gold bracelet out of a pyramid, i've made an archaeological find. if i pull one out of the common graveyard, i'm a dick. whats the waiting period for looting the dead?

Truthfully I've only been aware of human thought again for the past...two years perhaps? I wouldn't even say that.

Are you offering to show me a movie? They are fairly interesting, we didn't have those when I was studying!

[soft_focus]

[???]

Good people can't plan?

[escardos]

woah woah woah... so were you like...in a coma?? and wait, you didn't have movies before? so you're from when??? the early 1900s? are you immortal?!

[escardos]

im sure they do! mister holmes could plan a million steps ahead, because hes a super detective. but you always hear in shows about villainous plans, right? but then again, they're always about wanting to take over the world, so maybe they're not that good at it either.

maybe good people are better at making plans?

[standless]

From before that, actually!

Though it is rather unpleasant to admit, I actually died in 1889.

I suppose my spirit was what entered that comatose state then?

All I know is that eventually I was stuck in a bat, so it's been quite interesting.

[He...did get a few glimpses of the time before that thanks to the Galra but he'd rather not dwell on the horrors that Dio did using his hands, thanks.]

[soft_focus]

Oh.

Shows are confusing...

But if you talk about the plan and then don't finish it properly then you aren't good at making plans, so that's true.

[heromedal]

Yes.

[ Not all murders are the same badness, this isn't hard. ]

[escardos]

are you????? a bat???????? right now????????????????

like the bird boy up in the replies?

[standless]

I am indeed! (Though I was not a bat to begin with, so it is rather different?)

I am using a fairly large 'touch screen' to that end, which makes it far easier to send messages in fact!

[escardos]

oh that is so cool!! so you can't turn human anymore? or well, a human-like thing?

[standless]

It would be more accurate to say I never could?

I was human to begin with in life, but my spirit is currently latched to this bat.

mostly it comes down to who you sell it to.
if you gotta arrange a clandestine meeting at 2AM with a couple drug lords and a museum curator, it's archaeology.
if you get 50 bucks for it at a pawnshop, it's graverobbing.

[escardos]

woah so that's how museums get their content?!

[nor_iron_bars]

sometimes.
other times, it's how a dude who made his fortune in coke dealing gets that 13th century French tapestry he's always wanted.

[descolation]

Even if it was, Desco doesn't want anyone messing with her family! If you want to know about Desco's family, you can ask Desco!

[escardos]

huh...

i do think that some ppl would see that as grave robbing though?

[escardos]

..................

i don't get it.

[escardos]

woah, you'd be alive after hundreds of years?

[stavros]

"Not cursed" does not mean "not dangerous" and you know it! Besides, they could kill you before the meme, too.

[escardos]

but no one was interested in them until someone began calling them the "forbidden candy"! which made ppl want to eat them!

see?! a curse!

[playitagain]

Hm...

"Do they have living grandchildren?" seems like a fair way to judge.

[stavros]

How is that a curse and not just a joke that someone started to take seriously?

[nor_iron_bars]

that's cause it is.
archaeology is just graverobbing with better PR.
y'know, for nerds.

[escardos]

is there any way to attach it to something else?

like, say, if i tried to make a human-like puppet? it just seems like it'd be much better than a bat.

unless you like being a bat! or if you can't move at all. then that's fine.

[standless]

[One...Long look toward the body he's actually got to pilot-]

I believe that would be possession?

Regardless, I'm quite fine with what I have, don't worry!
