[In the end, there wasn't anything Death could do about this event. But there's something she can do now, so she picks up the phone.]

Hi everyone, it's Death. If you need someone to talk to... I'm really good at listening.

Funny. You don't sound like the one I know.

Oh, have you met the other one? Skeleton with a scythe?

Not exactly. Though you can see some of her bones in her rotted half, I wouldn't call her a skeleton. And she'd never touch a scythe, why would a queen need it?

[Death pauses to run through the various death gods she's familiar with]

You mean... Hel?

I've met Leviathan, but Mayfield being Mayfield it may not be exactly the same one.

A lot of it depends on what they did when they were alive. Different groups go different places, though there's more overlap than most mortals would expect.

Really?

What was this 'Leviathan' like?

That`s right. You`re doing a pretty poor imitation, if you ask me. Try sounding haughtier.

I'm not her. I outgrew my cold hearted bitch phase a long time ago.

Except of course the fallout. That's going to linger.

It... doesn't seem to last. It seems like it's not the greatest risk, here.

OH MOST LIKELY. IT USUALLY DOES.

There's definitely a lot of chatter. A lot of people that can't look at each other the same way any more.

Then who are you? And how many people named Death are running around, anyway?

YES, I'M AFRAID SO.

I'm... worried about what Slugger said.

Here? Just the two of us, as far as I know. I'm not a goddess, I'm Death itself.

Well, most of the time.

WHAT DID HE SAY?

Apparently they had to restrain Edward.

WHY WAS THAT?

You might want to sit down first.

[....He doesn't like the sound of this. But he does so.]

YES.

[So remember that bit about getting Edward in trouble?]

He went after Susan.

[Death can't narrow his eyes, but the blue dots deep in them suddenly seem to be able to. .....Remember when he talked about people messing around with death and all that stuff,how wrong it was. The tone, the anger in his voice.

This is worse.]

HE DID WHAT?

[Death expected that reaction. It was the only one possible, really.

Her voice is soft as she explains what little she knows.]

I don't know all the details. Just that he attacked her and Slugger had to intervene.
