He Orchestrates His Death Strategically. And His Self-worth Is As High As Ever - Tumblr Posts

Here's rough dialogue from a more skeleton-like section of the outline of TOTSMOV41, not fully "rendered" yet:

Agatha: What's he doing out of the grave?

Sophie: I don’t know!

Rafal: Taking a stroll out and about. Being dead is rather pointless. Had to stretch my legs.

Agatha: Can’t you put him back?

Sophie: Ah, well, I’m afraid the flower didn’t offer me a receipt. Besides, even if I could return him, I wouldn’t. I just got him back!

Agatha: Flower? What flower? Are you all right? Are you drugged?

Rafal coughed to interject.

Sophie spoke over him: It’s complicated.

Agatha: But—

Rafal coughed again and cleared his throat, but the girls paid him no mind.

Agatha: Why?

Rafal: As much as I don’t want this quarrel to end, I think we should flee.

The girls looked back.

And together, the three ran.

I never wanted to be a pile of dirt before, but there you have it. I’ve never wanted to be a freshly dug grave more in my life.

rafal in TOTSMOV41 the one true school master of vault 41 totsmov41 my fics dialogue I PROMISE he's not suicidal in the typical way. When has Rafal ever done ANYTHING in the typical way? He orchestrates his death strategically. And his self-worth is as high as ever so don't worry about that. It's his sense of necessity that declines even if he does recognize he's useful to a point. He just realizes that he's not supposed to BE in The Camelot Years. He simply doesn't belong there.
