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!]

[Hey, hey. Don't make fun of the scythe..]

I DON'T SEE WHAT'S SO CREEPY ABOUT IT. FARMERS USE THEM.

[This was... not a conversation she was expecting to have today. Especially not while wearing a nightgown.]

People get so freaked out when they die though.

[likescats.livejournal.com]

.....YES. I KNOW.

[bread_goes_bip]

So I don't really see the point in making it any scarier than it actually is. It started going a lot smoother when I figured that out.

I DON'T REALLY HAVE MUCH CHOICE IN THE MATTER.

THIS IS THE WAY THEY EXPECT TO SEE ME. SO THIS IS THE WAY I AM.

[It's too early for this.]

[bread_goes_bip]

I guess... things must be a bit more flexible for me. People are usually surprised, but I think it's a good way.

[He nods]

PEOPLE ARE GENERALLY SURPRISED TO SEE ME AS WELL.

THOUGH I'M FAIRLY CERTAIN IT'S NOT IN A GOOD WAY.

DO YOU HAVE ANY FAMILY?

[bread_goes_bip]

Yep. I have three brothers, two sisters and one... sister-brother. Plus a grandniece and grandnephew, but we didn't find out about them until a couple years back.

[A while for mortals. Just the other day to her, really.]

SIBLINGS?

I HAVE A GRANDDAUGHTER NAMED SUSAN.

[bread_goes_bip]

A granddaughter? That sounds wonderful.

Destiny is my big brother, and then the rest of my siblings are younger than me.

[likescats.livejournal.com]

YES. I'M QUITE PROUD OF HERE. SHE'S HERE IN THIS TOWN AS WELL. I'M SURE YOU WILL MEET HER.

[He nods]

I HAVE NO SIBLINGS. I ADOPTED SUSAN'S MOTHER.

[bread_goes_bip]

That sounds really sweet, I can't wait to meet her.

[likescats.livejournal.com]

SHE'S MORE...STERN THEN SWEET. SHE'S A TEACHER.

[Because that explains everything.]

OH, AND I SHOULD WARN YOU, THERE IS AN ASSASSIN FROM MY WORLD THAT IS ALSO HERE. HE ENJOYS....TRYING TO KILL THINGS THAT SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DIE.

[bread_goes_bip]

Well I'm sure, in her own way...

[Death does, after all, love everyone. Really. Though that last bit worries her.]

Those types can cause a lot of problems.

[likescats.livejournal.com]

I THINK YOU'LL HAVE TO MEET HER TO SEE WHAT I MEAN.

[Oh Death loves her, he also knows her quite well.]

YES. THIS ONE IN PARTICULAR WAS HELPING THE AUDITORS IN MY WORLD, TRY AND KILL OFF HUMAN BELIEF.

SUSAN GOT INVOLVED AND THEN HE TRIED TO KILL HER. HE THEN TRIED TO KILL ME.
