[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.

[bread_goes_bip]

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

[putmeinstitches.livejournal.com]

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?

[putmeinstitches.livejournal.com]

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

[bread_goes_bip]

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

[putmeinstitches.livejournal.com]

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

[bread_goes_bip]

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.

[putmeinstitches.livejournal.com]

"Death itself." That's quite a claim to make. I've never heard of anything like it.

I'd ask you to prove it, but being here makes that difficult, doesn't it?

[bread_goes_bip]

Really, there's only one way to prove it. And then it's a little late.

Besides, death doesn't last long in Mayfield. I don't know if it's even possible to die permanently. Does that make you obsolete here?

[bread_goes_bip]

I'm not exactly pleased with that situation.

[putmeinstitches.livejournal.com]

Can't imagine you would be. I'm not too happy, either. This place is set up to keep everything tightly ordered. For someone like me, it's...annoying.

[bread_goes_bip]

Life doesn't tend to fit as neatly as the town would like it to.

[putmeinstitches.livejournal.com]

Not if I have anything to say about it. You have to wonder why people regain abilities like mine if the town really intends to keep us completely under its thumb.
