For a moment, she was silent.<br/>
<br/>
Then, abruptly, she snapped her fingers.<br/>
<br/>
Once. Twice. Three times. <br/>
<br/>
On the third snap of her pale digits, a cigarette appeared between the pads of her thumb and index finger. She slipped it between her lips while scanning the bar for whatever came next. A pack of matches or someone’s stray lighter - anything of use. When she realized there wasn’t anything within arm’s reach (thanks to very short arms), Ziggy snapped her fingers at the unlit end until it eventually lit. Like a lighter running low on fluid, her magic was spotty. This kind, anyway. She’d never been much of a pyro.<br/>
<br/>
“General death,” she breathed as a lung worth of smoke mingled with the words, “And maybe decay. I’m not entirely sure I know just what is up with you... but if I were t’make a bet, I’d give you a couple’a weeks before everything started to rot.”<br/>
<br/>
An honest assessment, albeit one made in haste. She wasn’t completely sure she was familiar with whatever unholy bullshit the stranger was going through. Thanks to the layers and layers of history to his undeath, the details were mired even to someone as experienced as Ziggy. Her knee started to bounce, propelled by one foot settled on a rung of the stool. <br/>
<br/>
Sitting for too long made her uneasy.<br/>
<br/>
“I don’t think it’s something you’re not aware of. You don’t seem like you’re panickin’ over losing your limbs or wakin’ up to a gut full’a maggots. Maybe you know more’n I do about it.” Cocking her features in the direction of the… dead thing, Ziggy offered (without a hand to back it up), “Name’s Ziggy. Used’a come here all the time and there was a ghoul under their employ. A real ugly fuck but he seemed to keep his parts together and his guts maggot free. You lookin’ for someone like that? You turnin’ into a ghoul?”</span></span><br/><br/><a class="username" data-user-id="7082" data-username="@Lurktastic" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/members/7082/">@Lurktastic</a>
