[Those around the house may notice that things smell very nice. Like fresh baked cookies. Possibly because that's what Death is pulling out of the oven. If you approach her as she is doing so, she will tell you:]

Just let them cool a moment and then you can help yourself.

[Death is ringing the bell at Puzzle House, carrying fresh baked cookies for the residents]

[Action: Around Mayfield]

[If Death has ever met you or someone from your household, she is showing up at your door to check in on you after all that unfortunate zombie business.]

I helped a few people move on. It was mostly drones though and that was... troubling.

[strike-you-out.livejournal.com]

Why?

[bread_goes_bip]

Their souls seem to be... missing.

[strike-you-out.livejournal.com]

[A brief silence follows as Slugger holds his cookie in thought. It would make sense that the drones wouldn't have souls, either by having them taken away by Mayfield or, possibly, the drones didn't have souls because they weren't real people to begin with.

He begins to nibble on the cookie, then devours it in nearly one bite once the flavor hits him.]

Has that ever happened before?

[bread_goes_bip]

I've never seen it quite on this scale. Isolated incidents, here and there. People meddling where they shouldn't.

It never ends well.

I watched Susan reap a soul.

[It was the highlight of his week.]

[bread_goes_bip]

What did you think of that?

[He doesn't exactly strike her as the type to be disturbed.]

[strike-you-out.livejournal.com]

[Far from disturbed, he looks up at her with a grin.]

It was awesome.

[bread_goes_bip]

You know, most people wouldn't think that.

[strike-you-out.livejournal.com]

I know.

[He takes another cookie from the tray on the table.]

But I'm a monster.

[bread_goes_bip]

There's nothing monstrous about reaping souls though. It just... is.

[strike-you-out.livejournal.com]

Humans find it scary. They know it'll happen to them one day.

[Biting into that cookie, now. This time he'll savor the warmth and melted chocolate chips.]

[bread_goes_bip]

Well, it is scary when it happens. And confusing. But that doesn't mean it's actually a bad thing.

[And watching him enjoy that cookie, Death can't really believe he's as monstrous as he claims]

[strike-you-out.livejournal.com]

Of course. All people need to be released, some sooner than others.

What do you use to reap souls?

[Susan has her sword and DEATH has his scythe.]

[bread_goes_bip]

[Huh. This is the second time this has come up this week.]

I've always just used my hands. More personal.

[strike-you-out.livejournal.com]

[He's about to take a bite from a third cookie when he simply pauses.]

You pull out their souls?

[bread_goes_bip]

I guess you could think of it like that. They've always come easily enough when it got to that point though.

[strike-you-out.livejournal.com]

What if someone doesn't want to die? Have some fought?

[bread_goes_bip]

Sometimes people kick up a fuss. Usually once they see their own body, it starts to sink in though.
