Oh, no, definitely not. At least, not when I knew him. I hope he's not a ghost.
[ Gerry seems awfully horrified at the very thought. He doesn't want to dump this on someone he's basically just met, but being a ghost bound to the skin book is nothing short of torture. To be dead and still in the living world is painfully, existentially wrong. It's an experience Gerry never wants to have again, and he definitely doesn't want Jon to go through what he went through. He doesn't want anyone to go through what he went through.
Thankfully, Qrow circles the conversation back to the Remnant monsters, and Gerry has to laugh a little at the idea of chopping their heads off. He really does wish that dealing with the Entities were that simple. ]
Yeah, that doesn't really work with mine. But sometimes you can encase some manifestations in solid concrete, or set others on fire.
[ Good stuff! The waitress arrives just as Gerry's discussing setting things on fire, and she mercifully does not comment on Gerry and Qrow's conversation. She does look at the two of them like they're completely crazy, though. This does not seem to bother Gerry in the slightest, and he happily orders: ]
Short stack for me, thanks.
[ The waitress leaves. Gerry's mind is still on Qrow and other people in Remnant just going around chopping the heads off monsters. The whole thing is strangely fascinating -- it's such a different kind of battle against fear than what he knows. Gerry is curious to learn more. ]
So I'm guessing you go around killing monsters, huh? Did you go to a...school for that, or something?
[ Gerry knows that Ozpin teaches at one, and is pretty confident that that's what the schools train people to do, although he's not entirely sure. ]
