[Home: 308 Miller Street]

[A package from the post office has arrived at the house. Death opens it to find a goldfish bowl with two goldfish in it.]

Well Slim, Wandsworth, what would be a good place for you?

[And how is this going to go with Rincewind...]


[Visiting: 726 Anderson]

[Death knocks on the door and waits for someone to answer. She's here to check on Edward, but is always up for conversation with the rest of the clan.]


[Shopping: Pet Store]

[Regains are often lacking in the appropriate supplies. So Death can be found at the pet store purchasing fish necessities.]

Okay, got the flakes, there have to be some brine shrimp here somewhere...


[Out and About Mayfield]

[After finishing her shopping, Death takes a meandering route home. If she sees you and can tell you're not a drone, she'll approach you.]

Good afternoon!

[Looks down at them. Hello fish.]

AND YOU HAVE THEM AT HOME.

DOES ANYONE ELSE LIVE WITH YOU?

[bread_goes_bip]

[The fish swim around. As fish do.]

No, my siblings all have their own realms. So it's just me and the fish, when I'm not out.

[Fascinating...Looking at the fish, but thinking things over as well.]

DOES IT EVER GET LONELY?

[He misses having his daughter around...]

[bread_goes_bip]

I go to visit them... but I still feel like I don't see them enough.

[likescats.livejournal.com]

[He moves away from looking at the fish.]

UNDERSTANDABLE.

TIME GOES BY SO QUICKLY WHEN YOU WORK AROUND IT.

[Did that make sense? Maybe in a Discworld sort of way.]

[bread_goes_bip]

[Oddly enough, it almost did]

Yeah... sometimes I feel like I blink and it's been centuries since everyone's all been together in the same place.

[likescats.livejournal.com]

IT CAN BE RATHER TROUBLESOME.

DO YOU REMEMBER EVERYTHING?

[bread_goes_bip]

I do. Ten billion years' worth.

I think Del is the only one of us who has ever managed to forget anything. And even she remembers, sometimes.

[likescats.livejournal.com]

YOU DON'T REMEMBER THE FUTURE THOUGH?

[bread_goes_bip]

No... that's something, at least. Only Destiny knows that one.

[likescats.livejournal.com]

I REMEMBER EVERYTHING.

....EXCEPT HOW TO FORGET.

[bread_goes_bip]

THat... must be hard. Del only managed it by going mad.

[likescats.livejournal.com]

I'VE GOTTEN USED TO IT. IT ONLY REALLY BOTHERED ME THAT ONE TIME.

[Time is strange like that.]

I TEND NOT TO TRY AND REMEMBER THE FUTURE THAT MUCH AS IT IS.

[bread_goes_bip]

That's probably the safest way to deal with it. Even Destiny keeps it in his book, not his mind.

[likescats.livejournal.com]

I'M NOT SURPRISED. IT'S NOT VERY PLEASANT.

[Especially when you know your daughter is going to die and that you won't do anything. Even though you could. Rules. Speaking of unpleasantness and family.]

HAVE YOU SPOKEN WITH EDWARD RECENTLY?

[bread_goes_bip]

He was still droned last time I went to check on him.

[likescats.livejournal.com]

[Death nods at that. Still not happy with the man, even after the little 'talk', they had.]

[bread_goes_bip]

I've been trying to keep an eye on him, but right now he's just, well...

[likescats.livejournal.com]

OF COURSE.

[bread_goes_bip]

It's always so strange, when people start acting so unlike themselves.

[likescats.livejournal.com]

CONSIDERING HIS PREVIOUS ACTIONS, PERHAPS THAT'S A CHANGE FOR THE BETTER.

[He doesn't like dronings, but he still doesn't approve of Edward.]

[bread_goes_bip]

He's never going to get any better if the town is directing his actions.

[likescats.livejournal.com]

....I SUPPOSE THAT'S TRUE.

[bread_goes_bip]

I've known him since he was born, I know he can do better. But I guess he needs someone keeping an eye on him.

[likescats.livejournal.com]

DO YOU THINK HE WILL DO BETTER THOUGH?
