( a flick of his hand (for the dramatics, because he's always dramatic) and a set of green stairs appears just in front of laura and the little crater he's been maintaining to keep her dry. it goes up to the top where julian's standing.
he figures it feels a little less awkward to walk up stairs than to temporarily lose body anatomy to a telekinetic field, or something. )
Do you want me to tell you the shit that's been going on back home?
( it's actually slightly amusing, enough that something a little like a smile touches her lips as she climbs the glowing stairs. she comes to stand next to julian, arms folded across her chest, and the amusement drops off her expression pretty quickly.
she nods all the same though, looking down at the water with a grim expression. this place is going to be hard to repair. )
Kurtβ he mentioned some. It sounds...insane. Josh is resurrecting people?
He isn't doing it alone. It's the Five. Foley's just making the bodies.
( which sounds weird as shit honestly but you know what. their world is weird as shit, so it checks out. another wave of his hand, and julian pushes damn near most the water out of the building. it won't help it for long, but he can hold up a barrier around it for a little while. the green spark behind his eyes only grows brighter, stays there for a moment while he does a quick scan of the floor to make sure he isn't missing anything important before he--drops the barrier slowly. lets the water trickle back in.
because letting it all back in at once would cause significant more damage and he doesn't want to piss laura off. )
People die, wherever. Tempus, Proteus, Goldballs, Hope, and Foley work together to bring them back.
( she'd said as much to kurt, when he'd started talking about the five like they were some kind of deity. the tone that julian hears it with is far sharper though, because for all resurrecting all their dead friends sounds like paradiseβ
it's never that easy, and he really made it sound that easy. but to hear it without actually experiencing the process, krakoa, laura just feels skeptical. )
I want to think we can just bring people back, but you have to know how this sounds.
It sounds nuts. Like something out of a comic book that couldn't possibly happen.
( haha. except there's always the fact that, ) But crazy shit happens all the time. We get pulled into pocket dimensions, other dimensions, Hell, everything in between. It sounds fucked up and crazy, but it isn't a lie.
( julian likes this a lot better than he likes all the fucky memories of shit that didn't actually happen. and a lot of memories of things that had happened. )
I believe you guys, it just sounds like there is no catch.
( there's always a catch. that much laura feels sure of. but maybe she's being too skeptical, maybe even with a catch, it's not significant enough that it matters in the face of bringing everyone back. of no longer losing anyone.
maybe laura's just in a shit mood and trying to pick holes in anything presented to her. it's hard to tell. )

( them and their weird threesome, whatever the fuck they're doing there. he's not getting into it.
and instead just sits down right where he's at, lets his legs hang down off the edge. )
It's been an adjustment for everyone.
