"Can she feed off people without killing them? Off vampires or demons with regenerative abilities? Animals?"

Permalink

"I don't know. I suspect not."

Permalink

"All right." Sigh. "Is she some kind of demon or just a - cursed kid -"

Permalink

"She is a long-dead princess, sacrificed by her people to protect them from the spirits of the netherworld. Her time has passed."

Permalink

"There is no saving her. You may put her to rest, or you may drag this out, allowing her to drag other innocents to their own deaths."

Permalink

"Maybe mercy killing is a good business for someone to be in, but it isn't ours. Can we satisfy you that we're keeping others sufficiently safe from her, so that you can get back to - whatever you do when there's not a mummy on the loose -"

Permalink

"How do you intend to contain her? She will turn against you if you try."

Permalink

"Well, she was pretty contained in her bedroom until some holes were punched in the walls of my house."

Permalink

"She would have killed you or she would have died." He raises his sword. "I would really rather not have to kill you to get to her, but she cannot be allowed to go on as she is."

Permalink

"Or she would have told us what was going on soon enough we could do some research. Put that down. I promise you, we won't let her keep feeding on people."

Permalink

"You are failing."

Permalink

"We're really not. Look, you want to walk off for ten minutes and cool down, you can come back and verify that she's in a containment cell."

Permalink

He doesn't walk away. He does lower his sword.

"Go."

Permalink

Instead of this he takes two impossibly quick steps towards him, punches him and goes for the sword.

Permalink

Swordsman guy does not seem to have super prepared for this possibility.

Permalink

It's the cassock, it always does that. He switches hands with the sword and grabs the guy's collar with the other. "Ten minutes."

Permalink

 

" - I'll be back in ten, then."

Permalink

Alex hands out milkshakes and watches the mummy girl intently. "You should tell me what you think, I don't make milkshakes very often." And they're usually not drugged with a whole lot of sleeping medication but that seemed like the best move at the moment.

Permalink

Mummy girl is delighted by milkshakes. "They're so good!"

Mummy girl does not fall asleep. Must be the being a mummy.

Permalink

It's too bad. 

"It looks like the sword guy approached outside. He isn't doing anything, he hasn't found a way in, but I think it's a good idea for us to go to the safe room now. He can't get in there."

Permalink

- oh.

- oh no. No, if they've spoken to him, if they've learned anything -

 

Mummy girl wrenches Alex down with a really ridiculous amount of strength for a dead teenage girl. She kisses him. 

Permalink

Karen punches her basically immediately. (Karen is also pretty ridiculously strong, for a teenage girl who has died an honestly alarming number of times already.) She kicks the mummy in the stomach and sends her careening across the room.

Alex, Michael, situation with you guys - Alex are you like alive and stuff still -

Permalink

Yep - careful though -
