It's a resurrection story! I'll be posting it in chunks with a chapter of about 1000 words per resurrected character. Fair warning, this story is kind of short on overarching plot. Mostly I just want a lot of these people back. Warnings, characters, ships, spoilers, etc. will be posted per chapter. This here prologue has Mara, Nathan, Duke, Dwight, Evi, and Stan. No warnings, ships, spoilers apply.

Prologue:
"I found them," Mara's voice singsongs out of the receiver. "I found my aether. And you know what? I've thought of a great game. Have fun! You have thirty seconds to prepare." And she hangs up.
Nathan groans. "Duke!" he yells while simultaneously calling Dwight. "Mara's making a Trouble!"
Duke stops what he's doing (come to think of it, Nathan has no idea what that is) and runs. "What Trouble?"
"She said it was a game. Probably means a distraction," Nathan mutters just as Dwight picks up. Nathan's just finished repeating this information when his thirty seconds run out and several cars begin honking.
"Malfunctioning car horns could be distracting," Duke says hopefully.
Nathan looks out the window, trying to see around the cars. "I think there's someone lying in the street."
Duke looks over too, and gasps. "Holy shit!" And with that, he tears out of the station.
By the time Nathan makes it out, Duke is helping the person up. She turns. It's Evi.
"She woke up," Duke's babbling. "She woke up in the spot that she died."
Evi, to her credit, is reacting to this news far better than the both of them.
"Are we having resurrections?" Nathan asks incredulously. "Again?"
Stan runs out of the station. "Wuornos, we've got a… weird phone call."
Nathan and Duke glance at each other, sigh, and run inside.
