Yeah, I guess that was a dumb question. Still, I've gotta ask- anything I can help with?

Uh....

[What does she want? She's still not entirely convinced a blood sacrifice would be so useless as all the humans insisted it was, but she's not willing to die for it again. But this guy's supposed to be a serial killer, right?]

You wanna make a sacrifice in my name, bro? Blessings upon you if you do and all that shit.

[ There's a small pause. ]

I mean, I can give it a try. You really think that might break through the 'no powers' barrier?

[ Right now, he's only traveling with people he likes. Even if he was inclined to break the many promises to Al, he wouldn't be inclined to hurt any of these people. ]

I'm guessing you're asking for blood, not pies this time. Did you get anything from that, by the way?

It might. It might not. I'm the Goddess of the Search, not the Goddess of Already Knowing Shit.

I got a drawing that was never delivered, but mostly I got dead. I'm sure you understand why I'm not advertising to the hoi polloi this time around.

[ Gabriel chuckles at that first bit. ] Okay. Fair.

So, here's the problem. You'll eventually lose this death price and then be mortified you asked me for this. And that person is the one who's gonna stick around. So as much as I'd like to try this out, I'm thinking it's just my own blood spilled or nothing. Would it ever work back home, if the blood isn't like, all the blood, or does it have to be a full human sacrifice?

I've heard this argument before, man. And my answer's the same now as it was then: if this works, it doesn't matter. Other me either won't come back or she'll come back with a bunch of power and she can't fucking bitch if it gets us all out of here.

A sacrifice is a sacrifice. If you give yourself a papercut it's...okay, it's something, but it's not the kind of power I'm looking for. The point is that it has to be something valuable to you. So if you like keeping your blood in your body? Yeah, that'd work. Not as well as killing someone, definitely not as well as killing someone who wanted to be killed in my name, but it should do something for me.

Definitely worth trying, then. Okay, I'll get you some blood. You let me know if you feel anything from it, and I'll get some more if that's the case, okay?

I'll probably try while I'm at the school, so give me a couple days. Shouldn't be too long, though. I hope it does help you out.

Going for maximum ghost-piss-offery, huh?

I like it. And believe it or not it's actually a good move; nothing like giving another god the finger to boost it.

Ha- I figured it might. Plus, it might get me an extra clean stab wound for free.

[ He probably shouldn't sound so amused by that. He's still not entirely sure he's going to do this- why make Tess worried about it (after she comes back to herself, anyway)? But at the same time, it's a test he can actually do. Besides--]

I also figure it'll go well with checking to see if the ghosts are still there. You'd think they'd defend their weird Prophet-god's 'honor' if they're still around, right?

They should, yeah. Always did before. If anything's going to get their attention, that should do it.
