oh that was bad

[Ursa major]

It was inevitable!

[TheManager]

So if we kill undead Jim will that make him.........alive?

[HoopyFrood]

Or just even more dead, mayhap!

[Ursa major]

If you two would like to go back to your previous relationship (i.e. wanting to draw each other's blood), Jim could be alive in a trice.

[HoopyFrood]

But I want it dead (and by my hand ), not alive!

[Ursa major]

But you can't kill Jim, Hoopy, unless he's alive.

[TheManager]

So if we resurrect and then kill it will that work? Or does it have to be reincarnated?

[Overread]

unless you cast smite evil on the thread - or smite undead -- then its dead dead dead

[Ursa major]

I rely on advanced science for my "tricks", TheManager; I don't know much about magical beings.

[TheManager]

Or Immortal

[Ursa major]

Which would mean he'd be a big help as Jim the Cabin Boy.

(Very useful if the crew is set adrift without any food - they'd have a constant supply of "fresh" food.)

Die, Thready! *Pulls out a bottle of poison looks at the label, wondering if it's strong enough to take out the thread once and for all*

*thread takes bottle from Hoopy, swallows the entire contents... and then, to her dismay, grins through its decaying features, winks, and belches*

Nope, Ms. Frood, that won't do it. And, considering you're already being tailed (and quite efficiently, too, I might add), and the evidence file on you is mounting quite nicely.... Well, you can't be tried for the same crime twice, but you can be tried for murdering the same thread twice... if you do such a double deed.

Oh, and NB: Have you ever smelt a belch made by the undead? You really do have a lot to answer for....

[HoopyFrood]

Damnit!

Ew! *Chokes and staggers away from the thread*

And right...you can collect as much evidence as you want, my dear Worthington, you can't prove I killed it, you haven't got a judge or jury to say I'm guilty, and as the saying goes innocent until proven guilty, therefore I am definitely innocent!

So...nah! *Sticks out tongue*
