      ditto. Maybe the whole death/renewal rites are kicking in everyone’s baby-making instincts?

        Being surrounded by death or the threat of, usually enhances the need to create young. explains why baby booms happen around wars.

          As baby booms go, “absence makes the heart grow fonder” isn’t just romantic bullshit; the psychological “wearing out” of sexual partners tends to reverse over time, and returning home after being away can be a very lustful experience.

      No kidding. I think Rachel has the romantic instincts and sense of timing of a robo-dialer, calling on Friday night to push poll people’s opinions on abortion.

    So…is this Frigg’s ideology at work, or something more sinister?

      There is something more sinister than the thought of Frigg’s ideology spreading?

    That’s good, because Gravedust will be too busy smooching ghosts.

      I know that was a joke but, oddly enough, I actually like that idea and in a purely platonic way. As more of a “one last fatherly kiss goodbye” or what not. Though having an orgy with all those ghosts would… also be interesting.

        Actually, I’m pretty sure that “burning-blood” is a magic item append from DnD4, and a “sap” is a thing you hit people over the head with to knock them out. – So this would be a particularly smelly magic weapon :)

    *Finally gets that “Gravy” is short for “Gravedust” and not as an adjective for “It’s all good” or a topping for turkey or mashed potatoes*
