Just woke up next to a skeleton

[bread_goes_bip]

[Death wasn't really expecting to wake next to a skeleton today. Well, really, she wasn't expecting to wake up at all, since she wasn't intending to be mortal again for another ninety eight years or so. Definitely one of the stranger days of her existence.

Still, confusion is no reason to be rude. Never an excuse for that.]

Uh, good morning?

[Later in the day, Mayfield residents may find her wandering the town, taking everything in. She remembers the fifties, but she was never mortal during them so it's a whole new experience for her. She's likely to say hello!]

Yes, Death, that would be him. That was a new experience.

I thought it was bad enough having him come to visit. Waking up next to him?! Sounds terrifying.

[bread_goes_bip]

I wouldn't go that far, but it was definitely pretty strange.

[puzzlerprince.livejournal.com]

Well, I salute you and your lack of fear in staring down Death.

...pajamas aside.

[bread_goes_bip]

We have a lot in common, actually, me and him.

[puzzlerprince.livejournal.com]

Oh? Aside from living together, you mean?

[bread_goes_bip]

Yeah, we're... kinda in the same line of work.

[puzzlerprince.livejournal.com]

You can't mean to tell me they've already assigned you a job here? Dear, dear. They certainly don't cut the new neighbors much slack.

[bread_goes_bip]

Oh, no, we work in the same field in our respective worlds.

[Yep, this is about to get... interesting]

Oh? So you---

[puzzlerprince.livejournal.com]

Wait. Wait. So you're... You...

[I think you just broke him.]

[Oh dear, that reaction is familiar, but never one she likes]

It's okay. I'm not here for you.

[puzzlerprince.livejournal.com]

That's a relief, I---

It's just... you don't really look the part.

Er, no offense.

[bread_goes_bip]

It's okay. I get that a lot.

[puzzlerprince.livejournal.com]

Hmm.

In that case, do you have a name or should I just call you... "Death?"

[bread_goes_bip]

Last time I was mortal, I used Didi. That seems to be what the town is set on.

[puzzlerprince.livejournal.com]

Didi. Didi.

[Repeating the name certainly makes her seem more human than Death-like. It helps. He hesitates, then offers her a hand.]

Edward Nigma.

[bread_goes_bip]

[Death nods]

I thought you looked familiar.

[puzzlerprince.livejournal.com]

You know me already?

[bread_goes_bip]

We're from the same world. Dying... isn't the only hing I look after.
