Otto smirked at Jude's find. "Maybe it really is grave robbin'. They're all after Mr. Monopoly men." Otto seemed mildly amused at the mental image of zombie Mr. Monopoly mascots with round stomach's and monocles running amok. Quote: 41 - 60: A strange sort of black plant - roots - seem to be sprouting out from the "desecrated" lots, it visibly withers and disappears upon contact with any light source. Otto caught a glimpse of something odd by the lot Jude had been poking around at. Maybe he'd unearthed something while kicking dirt around? "Wassat?" He muttered, kneeling down and moving dirt from the black root. He got out his cell to take a picture of it. It began to wither and disappear upon the sunlight hitting it, and Otto immediately cursed and covered what was left back with dirt. "What the ******** is that?"

"Heh, maybe. Maybe they ARE Monopoly Men, a whole cult of them and they are the ones droppin' all these watches," he observed and it was hard to tell if he was joking or completely serious because his face seemed to not even twitch into a smile. "Maybe they want to take part of the house flipping craze and use zombies as workers," he shrugged a bit as he peered over at what Otto had found.
..Huh.
"Gonna be hard to get samples if it does that every time light is on it." He moved to poke around at a different spot for the moment before he found some roots as well which ...quickly withered as soon as it was exposed. Jude frowned as he at least collected up the withered bits, "Who knows. They might be able to do something with the withered bits...?" Results3 41 - 60: A strange sort of black plant - roots - seem to be sprouting out from the "desecrated" lots, it visibly withers and disappears upon contact with any light source.

Dude. This guy was reading his mind. Otto had yet to decide if that was creepy or awesome. "You never know." They'd all seen strange things as hunters. It wasn't all that impossible. Improbable, but not impossible. "I don't see why not. Beats bringin' back diddly squat." If they could make remote control golems, they could sure as Hell process dust, right? So long as the dust didn't disappear beyond sight. Quote: 41 - 60: A strange sort of black plant - roots - seem to be sprouting out from the "desecrated" lots, it visibly withers and disappears upon contact with any light source. Otto moved from one desecrated grave to another, finding yet another root like substance in the shade. "Got a whole one here. Did ya bring a box'er sumthin?"

"That or they're a bunch of etiquette zombies wanting to teach men out there to be proper," he said with a thoughtful sound and then shrugged. There were so many options and so little time, or perhaps they had all the time in the world since they were currently poking around at roots and digging up pocket watches.
Jude blinked a bit, "Oh right! I got a couple of small boxes. I mean we can't walk off with a lot of stuff but..." He got one of the boxes out of a deep pocket of his uniform coat and went to offer Otto the box when he kicked up another pocket watch.
He stared down at it and picked it up with his free hand while still offering the box, "Weird. Definitely a Monopoly Cult." Result4 81- 100: Something clatters under your feet, strange in texture. You dig it up - a broken old fashioned pocket watch is buried underneath.

"The worst kind of zombie. Soon all the rednecks'll be sippin' their moonshine with a pinky out." Otto joked with an amused smirk. The young hunter held out a hand to take the box, his gaze dropping as Jude found yet another pocket watch. "This whole ********' graveyard was the restin' place of goddamn British lords..." Not the scariest cuklt in the world, but certainly unsettling. Quote: 61 - 80: Even the coffins, you notice, are missing. There is indeed no signs of the bodies, or pieces of it anywhere, but you notice someone standing in the distance, wearing a black petticoat and an umbrella - even though its not raining - you look back at them again but they're gone. Otto knelt to start taking the root he found intact and placing it into the box. Something caught his eye, and he looked up from his work to spot a strange figure in the distance. At first he dismissed it as some mourner, though a bit weirder out by the parasol. He looked down a moment to close the box, and looking back up, the figure was gone. "Hey.. did you see that?"

"Like dig'na''fied gen'teel'men," Jude exaggerated the accent a bit but it got the point across. Once he was sure Otto had the box he got one of his own out and went to put his findings in it rather than just shoving them in his pocket. After he put his newest watch in his box he looked up at Otto as he spoke up about seeing something.
"Eh?" He didn't see what Otto saw instead Jude saw something else, "This marker...It doesn't have any dates on it. No birth, death... Don't they usually put that on there?" Result5 21 - 40: You notice that a lot of the empty lots still have grave markers on them. All of them are missing a deceased date... that's unusual, isn't it?

Otto stared at Jude for a long moment before snorting. "What was that?" Jude's attempt at an accent amused Otto, in a snarky sort of way.
Apparently he hadn't seen what Otto saw, regardless, he noted in in a small notepad. Never know if it could be important. He lifted his gaze to look at the grave markings Jude pointed out. "Wait.. so did these dudes... not die or..." Odd. Otto snapped a picture.
Otto got himself up, brushing dirt from his knees. "I don't see nuthin else here. Unless ya got some master plan, I say we pack up and work on the report."

"I'm pretty sure that was me being pretty damn awesome," Jude said with a completely straight face. Apparently Jude liked to retort to Otto's snark with a bit of deadpan.
He shrugged a bit as he moved a bit closer to the marker to get a better look to make sure it wasn't worn away or something but it seemed as if nothing was there in the first place, "I dunno, seems pretty weird. I think even if you are Jane or John Doe they still mark at least your death on there, right?"
In honesty Jude never really took too close of a look at grave markers until today.
"Hmm, yeah there doesn't seem to be much else we can do here," Jude said thoughtfully as he gathered everything up so they could go, "Ready?"

"Sure, whatever." Otto rolled his eyes. "Keep telln' yerself that."
"Normally, yeah." Otto informed. "I never heard of a body bein' buried with no date of death inscribed, unless it was an unmarked grave entirely. As long as the date of death is known, or at least the day the body was found? They'd mark it. S'far as I know." Ah, growing up in the death business. "In a cemetery like this.." He walked towards some undisturbed graves to check. "Yeah, definitly shoulda had date of death.."
The hunter nodded. "Yeah, let's ditch this place." Otto checked his phone for the nearest portal, pocketing the device after and leading the way back, still hobbling along with a limp.

"Stop being so damn jealous it is very unbecoming of you," Jude said in response to Otto's apathetic response.
Jude gave a small nod and stared down at the graves marker thoughtfully he snapped a quick picture with his phone and then tucked everything away and moved to follow Otto back to the portal. The trip back was just as uneventful as the trip there.
Once back he let out a quiet hum, "...Odd desire to get some monocles and a bubble pipe to have around while I fill out the forms."

Otto managed another eye roll to Jude's rebuttal.
It was somewhat of a shame to be back, but their job was done. While a graveyard wasn't the coolest place to have a getaway, it was nice to have a getaway at all. Even if it was a mission.
"Classy s**t, man." Otto muttered back to Jude.

"The pocket watches brought it out in me," He said simply as he walked off to get the forms so that they could be filled in and then turned in.
All in all it was a fairly successful mission.
