He felt like he was going to go insane, soon.
Well, maybe he technically already had-- after all, he'd been like this for so long, it was bound to make anyone a bit nuts. The unaging aspect, the inability to die, the whispers and pressure on his back...
Okay, he'll admit it: he was already crazy, but at least he was still conscious of it.
But he could tell the patience of the god hanging off of his reconstituted spine was growing thin. He had done everything he could right now to go as slowly as possible in the whole set-up, just to buy time, but he could only keep his thoughts so separate for so long, and do things with only so much subterfuge.
No, he had to think of something to set off this powder keg, and soon.
Of course, he really hopes that someone's caught on by now enough that they might stop him-- a reasonable excuse to not go through with what he's trying to do, since if he succeeds in setting off the first circle to exorcise whoever is attached to his alternate, well.
The next step isn't going to be great for the city, regardless.
Tarou kept his thoughts to himself as he wrote things down by hand-- he found it helped to make sure there were copies of his research around. After all, he never knew what was going to happen to him. Just because he can't die doesn't mean he should expect that it'll never happen, and it... Well, it also helped to ignore the steady burning sensation on his arm, as though it was trying to tell him to hurry up.
Eventually however, he had to put down his pencil and get up, rubbing the arm where his mark was, muttering.
"Come on... just one or two more weeks, then this mess'll be over with..."

So, hey, totally embarrassing and maybe an odd question to ask about, but.
Does anyone know anything about catalysts? Say you want to do something but it requires a power source, would anyone know anything about those?
For research purposes, mostly, I'm wondering what the general knowledge level is for that.
