aphmeow: DOES ANYONE IN THIS CHAT KNOW NARCOLEPSY

zane: like the sleep disorder?

aphmeow: NO LIKE
necropsy
necrolepsy
necrophilia

zane: NOPE. ABSOLUTELY NOT. WRONG WORD.

aphmeow: the one where you bring dead people back to life?????

travis: NECROMANCY???????

aphmeow: YEAH THAT

travis: LMAOOOO

zane: oh my fucking irene

aphmeow: SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP
JUST ANSWER MY QUESTION
DOES ANYONE KNOW NECROMANCY

travis: idfk ask lucinda

aphmeow: she's asleep
WAIT
@kimmalyn
@kimmalyn
@kimmalyn

kimmalyn: ??? Hello??

aphmeow: GHOST. GHOST I NEED HELP

kimmalyn: Yes, what is it?

aphmeow: DO YOU KNOW NEXCROMANYCY

travis: this is so funny

aphmeow: NECROMANCY

kimmalyn: No.

aphmeow: ARGH
THEN WHO DOES

kimmalyn: Necromancy is a VERY advanced skill, and is banned by the Universal Witchcraft Council

travis: so basically, illegal

kimmalyn: Very much so.

aphmeow: ok
but
what if
hypothetically
i have friends who are dead

zane: aph...

aphmeow: i just
i feel like i need to do something
i got a second chance at life
shouldn't the others get a second chance too?

kimmalyn: Who did you have in mind?

aphmeow: blaze?
and aaron's parents
and maybe even terry?

travis: aphmau, no.

aphmeow: what?

travis: i miss my dad more than anything, but we can't bring him back. it's too dangerous.
he sacrificed himself for all of us. we can't risk anything.
the demon warlock always has a possibility of coming back, no matter what. and we can't just go and make things easier for him

kimmalyn: He's right.
Hm
Kim is suggesting that I try to reach out to their souls first, and see if I can contact them.
I've never tried communicating with the afterlife, but maybe it will be easier as a ghost.

aphmeow: thank you

lucy: oh my IRENE aphmau do NOT attempt necromancy without knowledge of animation magicks and witchcraft laws.

aphmeow: and since when did you follow the law?

lucy: never. but YOU do.
anyways
emmalyn makes some great points
i'll do some research as well, but no promises

aphmeow: <333

Chapter Text

lucy: wait. i just remembered we literally have insider information on the afterlife
@aphmeow WHAT DO YOU REMEMBER

aphmeow: uh, it's kinda all a blur
it felt like a really weird fever dream
wait, does you bringing me back to life count as necromancy?

lucy: not really, no
after what you told us, it seems like you coming back was a gift from irene herself. we just helped you through it.
plus, you had only been dead for a few hours, so your energy was still in there somewhere.
so, anyways. tell us more about death.

aphmeow: well, there are gates
someone passes your judgement
and then you go home

lucy: home?

aphmeow: i don't really know
it might be different for everyone
for me, it was my childhood home
and there was a family there
and also blaze.
and then, of course, the woman who may or may not have been irene(??? i feel like there might have been two irenes. idk.) let me come back to life

lucy: wow
ok i'm getting emotional

travis: can't let you ruin your mysterious aura

lucy: obviously
OKAY
so i've done some research with kim
i really don't know if necromancy is possible
i mean, i barely have any powers anymore. maybe emmalyn's connection with the spirit world could help, but i truly don't think we can get away with this without some serious drawbacks
not to mention the witchcraft council.

kimmalyn: But...

lucy: BUT we could start with a seance. the laws around that are iffy, but i know lots of people get away with it. and then we'll go from there!

kimmalyn: We've been getting a lot better at witchcraft, so I think it's possible!

lucy: i think so too!
we just have to be careful -- like we said earlier, we don't want to accidentally make contact with the demon warlock. his energy may still be lurking somewhere.

aphmeow: that's amazing guys
thank you so so much <33333

Chapter Text

lucy: good morning gay people

zane: it is 2pm

LAURANCE IS A CATBOY: Why????? A seance?????

zane: because they wanted to

Big dick energy: i'm afraid of ghosts

kimmalyn: Ahem

travis: [ghostbusters theme starts playing]

lucy: SOMEONE wanted to see if necromancy was possible.
and hypothetically, yeah, it is. but we aint doing any of that shit!

katelyn: aw man
so does that mean no walking dead moments?
i'm sure id be the last one to die in a zombie apocalypse

travis: dante would be the first

Big dick energy: EXCUUSE ME

zane: you would not last an hour on the starlight islands.

Big dick energy: FUCK YOU ALL

lucy: SO, we attempted to talk to more ghosts
and it wasn't exactly successful?

kimmalyn: Emmalyn and I were able to hear SOME things, but not a lot.

aphmeow: i don't really know if this is going to go the way i hoped

melbourne australia: what were you hoping?

aphmeow: well
i was hoping that maybe you and aaron would be able to talk to your parents again?
it's a long shot, i know

melbourne australia: oh, aphmau
i love you so much, do you know that??
i can't wait to be the best woman at your wedding

katelyn: excuse me, that's MY position

Sakura Miku: NO, it's mine!!!!!!

aphmeow: i'd assume you'd be AARONS best woman

melbourne australia: wait. i can just be the officiant.

lucy: can we have ONE conversation without getting off track

aphmeow: SORRY

travis: everyone in this chat has adhd

lucy: i dont

travis: mhm that's what they all say

melbourne australia: please forgive me my queen 🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️

Big dick energy: OHH FUCKK THIS

travis: haha oops

Big dick energy: IM KICKING YOU OUT

travis: i never knew your love was conditional 💔💔💔💔

LAURANCE IS A CATBOY: Can i move in with you dante.

and i always look both ways before crossing the road.

Dante: not to point fingers or anything
but aaron was the last one to send a text

Aaron L.: I can assure you I did not destroy the chat

Garroth Ro'Meave: that's what you WANT us to think

Aaron L.: am I being interrogated right now?

Garroth Ro'Meave: i don't know, ARE you??

Kim: Um, guys?
Is anyone else getting a weird feeling?

Lucinda: you're right, there's something off rn

Dante: THIS IS WHY WE DONT MESS AROUND WITH GHOSTS

Kim: I'm getting some sort of energy.

Lucinda: through the phone?

Kim: Yes.

Lucinda: i feel it too, but it's just...weird. why would it be coming through our *phones*?

NewUser_1: Hello?
Where am I?

Aphmau S.: i don't have your contact saved for some reason </3 who are you?
wait there's multiple people i don't have saved

Laurance Zvahl: SERIOUSLY WHOS FAULT IS THIS

Aaron L.: I swear to Irene it was not me

Garroth Ro'Meave: LUCINDA. KIM. APHMAU. TRAVIS.
THIS HAS TO DO WITH YOUR SEANCE DOESNT IT.

Aphmau S.: ok why would ghosts want to haunt a group chat of all things???

Lucinda: i've certainly never heard of that before
besides for shitty internet creepypastas

Kim: The only things I can haunt are people.

Travis V.: why do you guys have to be so active when i'm trying to take a nap

Katelyn: ditto

NewUser_1: Well, I wouldn't consider myself a ghost exactly?
I'm just not sure where I am

Aphmau S.: What.

Katelyn: jesus christ

Travis V.: not me, i wanna see how this plays out

NewUser_1: Wait, your name...

Aphmau S.: damn you talk fancy

Kim: That's literally just how grammar works

Aphmau S.: idgaf about grammar i write wattpad fanfiction

NewUser_1: It's complicated

Aphmau S.: ???

Garroth Ro'Meave: lucinda btw, laurance and dante are running over to yours

Dante: i never thought id believe in this stuff

Laurance Zvahl: yeah what he said

NewUser_2: Garroth Ro'Meave?

Melissa L.: i've been running errands all day, i didn't even see this chat

Nana Ashida: not me either!

Garroth Ro'Meave: argh

NewUser_3: Irene, have you figured anything out about where we are?

NewUser_1: It might be some sort of pocket dimension

NewUser_4: Which is strange, considering we left all of the dimensions behind when we crossed through the gates
Maybe it's some sort of in-between, like your dimension.

NewUser_1: But I lost access to that when I died, remember?
So I don't know why I would be here

Lucinda: ooookay.
so.
are you guys spirits?

NewUser_2: I suppose, something like that?

NewUser_1: We're in the afterlife
But there was some sort of weird energy earlier that brought us here

Kim: Where exactly are you right now?

NewUser_1: It's like Travis said, some sort of in-between.

Travis V.: i didn't say shit

NewUser_4: She's talking about me

Travis V.: are we both named travis?

NewUser_4: Guess so

Travis V. changed NewUser_4's nickname to travis the second
Travis V. changed Travis V.'s nickname to travis the original

travis the original: alright, one down, three more to go

It's kind of complicated

Aphmau: wait

NewUser_1: What on earth did you even just say 

Aphmau: ?????!???

Garroth Ro'Meave: so your parents named you after the goddess?
