Oops! I did pick it up to inspect it while trying to decide whether or not to keep it. I'm not concerned, though, because it was already grayed & very rough from weather & desert exposure. I imagine that any traces of my person ever being there will not exist for long.

I was actually thinking about this thread at work today for some reason, and then I remembered that a friend of a friend lives in Dorothea Puentes old folks home. (For those of you who don't know who she is, here is a quick wiki)

Imagine, laying in that crawl space, the dirt still loose from the police digging it up all those years ago, and blasting off. It would be a terrible experience no doubt. Especially when you find that skull that the police never found.

Ew no SWIM wouldn't want to do that. He's thinking more somewhere where the dead seem more 'at peace'.

Although, if a case went unsolved, one could try it to get clues as to the murderer, see what the elves tell you... like how a shaman tries to get clues as to a person's illness. You could work for the police as their DMT-psychic! Haha.

Personally, SWIM just wants the skull. SWIM has always wanted a skull, and a dehyrdated tongue too.

You can buy real skulls at antique markets and shops. Personally SWIM finds this unethical. And he wouldn't want bad juju because it's unlikely you happened to buy the skull of some benevolent guru. But as the law stands, you can own and sell someone else's remains. If you dig them up on your land, it's legally yours (you have to call the police first so they can check it's not a recent one and discount the need for investigation, then notify the council in case it's of archaelogical interest).

A dehydrated tongue?! That's messed up! SWIM doesn't think such trade should be encouraged... remember what happened with the bodysnatchers. When money is to be made, people will harvest themselves when they can't find an already-dead supply.

I know it's wrong logically to have such things. But they're just things that i've wanted since I was a kid. Do I know why I want them, no. I just do. But I don't believe in karma so I guess that helps.

never smoked but i have been in a graveyard on the tail end of a mesc journey. nothing really special added by the graveyard, maybe trying with the spice will yield something different.
