video; un egyptologist - evening of 19 October
[ Oh hello, it's your friendly neighborhood egyptologist slash mummy hunter tuning in. Evelyn's hair is windswept and framing her face, cheeks pink from what is prooobably either whiskey or wine. She's tired of visions and migraines and soul crushing loneliness and has thrown herself into re-establishing her shop.
She's sat at one of the little tables in the back by the fireplace, the culprit of her pink cheeked, rosy glow sat on the table next to her. She's got her little device propped up against a book to properly frame her. ]
Hello, fellow residents. I just wanted to let you know that my bookshop, Spellbound Book Co., is open once more. By all means, please come in any time, have a look around.
[ She leans back in her chair, a little roughly, picks up her tumbler - the question is answered, it's whatever passes for whiskey - and smiles. ]
Who else has a business here? Let's all discuss our business endeavors, feel free to chat amongst yourselves.
[ Is she drunk? Maybe a little. ]

[ She looks a little sheepish as she nods. ]
Very funny. No -- it was...gooey, actually.
His reincarnated girlfriend brought him back the second time. It would have been very romantic if he hadn't been trying to end the world.
no subject
[ the thought of a gooey mummy makes Booker frown, just a little bit. he's dealt with a lot of disgusting things over the years, but gooey mummy... it's pretty up there. ] Hope you had one hell of a stiff drink after that.
... so who reincarnated the nearly romantic girlfriend?
[ if that came out of another book... Booker has a thing or two to say about "books" in her world. ]
no subject
[ As far as Anak-Su-Namun's reincarnation... ]
That...
I'm not exactly sure of. I suppose it was just...a reborn sort of thing? I'm not really sure how that works.
[ Because it affecter her, too, and now she's got some long dead ancient Egyptian princesses memories in her bloody mind, so that's not a brainfuck or anything. ]
no subject
[ Booker nods, once; he's hoping there'd been even more than several drinks, but he understands not everyone has his constitution. ]
Reborn? Like, reincarnated?
no subject
[ Fairly certain, anyway. ]
no subject
You believe in reincarnation? Other than this... happening.
no subject
Kind of like reanimated mummies.
no subject
And you think those books might hold the key to explaining all that? [ he believes her, that it all happened the way it happened. reincarnated mummy's and all ]
... I think you're chasing a dead end, honestly. [ he might be drunk, and he might be projecting just a little bit. ]
no subject
[ maybe it is a dead end, she isn't sure. But the experience certainly has her shook up, especially now that she has time to deal with it and actually think on it. ]
At the very least, it gives me something to focus on.
no subject
What if there is no answer? What happens then?
[ not like he's asking for himself, a little bit, too. ]
