Video | All of cats- who lets him talk on these things

[likescats]

[This is Death, this is Death with the skull face/body, creepy eyes, black robe and if you look off to the side you can probably see a scythe. He does however have a cat sitting on his shoulder like it's a totally comfortable place to hang out. It might look a bit weird is what I'm saying. Death however speaks up.]


AH, HELLO.

I HAVE NOTICED THAT THERE ARE MORE THEN A FEW PEOPLE WITH CATS ON BOARD THIS SHIP.

[The cat on his shoulder does not seemed freaked out by this skeleton at all, in fact it may be purring.]

AND I WAS THINKING THAT AT SOME TIME IN THE FUTURE WE COULD GATHER TOGETHER AND PERHAPS LET THEM MEET. ....AND MEET EACH OTHER AS WELL. THE GARDENS MIGHT BE A NICE PLACE.

WE COULD HAVE TEA. OR PERHAPS SOME OTHER TYPE OF FOOD OR DRINK.


[Come have tea with Death....and his cat. Please?]

[Tea and cats? Count her in! It takes her a few minutes of frantic button pressing before she can respond. She's still not used to this... technology... stuff. Finally she gets it. Sort of.

She's holding it upside down. Close, but no cigar.]

I like cats! Can I come?

[Nowi he was inviting people with cats. Also he's a talking skeleton. But she'll worry about that later.]

[video]

[likescats]

OF COURSE.

[He's inviting people who like cats as well!]

WHAT IS YOUR NAME?

[video]

[nowi_wins]

Yay!

[Clearly this is her lucky day.]

I'm Nowi. I'm new here. Can I ask you something?

[She pauses for only a fraction of a second, not long enough for anyone to respond.]

What happened to all your skin and muscles and stuff?

[video]

[likescats]

OF-

[Nope no chance to respond. Yup he needs a sign.]

I NEVER HAD ANY. I AM DEATH, I DO NOT REQUIRE SUCH THINGS.

[video]

[nowi_wins]

[She tilts her head curiously. For a second, she'd thought maybe he said he was dead? But that's silly. He's clearly not. Nowi is familiar with UNdead, but he doesn't look like a Risen. And she's never seen one that looks so... skeletal.

And who doesn't need squishy body parts? They do all kinds of important stuff.]

Then how do you... eat and stuff?

[She's pretty sure you need a stomach for that.]

[video]

[likescats]

IT IS NOT EASILY EXPLAINED. ...I SIMPLY DO. THE RULES OF REALITY DO NOT APPLY TO ME.

[video]

[nowi_wins]

Whoa....

[She's not sure she really understands the implications of that, but it sure sounds impressive.]

That must really come in handy!

[video]

[likescats]

IT DOES. VERY MUCH.

[Even when he's not working.]

[video]

[nowi_wins]

Yeah! Like, when there's leftover cake, I bet you can eat a ton of it! 'Cause you don't have any squishy organs or anything taking up space.

[Yeah, that's what you use reality breaking powers for. Eating all the cake.]

And you don't have to worry about sore muscles or anything if you play tag all day.

[Nowi is full of good ideas over here.]

[video]

[likescats]

I NEVER THOUGHT OF IT THAT WAY. I SUPPOSE I'M USUALLY TOO BUSY TO DO SUCH THINGS.

Re: [video]

[nowi_wins]

Busy doing what? Everyone should have time to play or eat sweets.

[video]

[likescats]

I AM DEATH.

AS IN THE ANTHROPOMORPHIC PERSONIFICATION OF THE CONCEPT. PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS DYING AND I HAVE A GREAT DEAL OF WORK TO DO.

AT LEAST WHEN I WAS ON THE DISCWORLD I DID.

[video]

[nowi_wins]

Ugh. That does sound like a lot of work.

.....

But you don't have to do that stuff here, right?

[video]

[likescats]

NO. I AM ONLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS ROLE ON THE DISCWORLD ITSELF. THIS IS QUITE OUT OF MY JURISDICTION.

[video]

[nowi_wins]

Oh?

[Very interested grin.]

So that you means you have a lot of free time, riiiight? To play games and stuff?

[video]

[likescats]

I WORK WITH THE SUPPORT STAFF HERE. BUT YES, I HAVE QUITE A BIT OF FREE TIME.

I DO NOT KNOW MANY GAMES THOUGH.

[video]

[nowi_wins]

That's okay! I know how to play a whole bunch of games! I can teach you.

[So hopeful.]

We could play house or tag or hide and seek. Whatever you want!

[video]

[likescats]

DO YOU PRETEND TO BE A HOUSE IN THE FIRST ONE?

[video]

[nowi_wins]

[So much giggling.]

Of course not! You pretend to be the people in the house.

Someone is the mommy, someone is the daddy, and if you have other people they can be the kids. Or... neighbors, I guess.

[video]

[likescats]

THAT SOUNDS RATHER LIKE THE LAST PLACE I WAS AT. THEY PUT US IN FALSE FAMILIES AND FORCED US TO PRETEND WE HAD BEEN THERE OUR ENTIRE LIVES.

[video]

[nowi_wins]

The last place...?



.......................



[Hang on, let her get this straight.]



You actually went somewhere where people made you play house?

[video]

[likescats]

YES. THAT WAS THEIR GOAL.

[It didn't work out well for anyone really but it was their goal.]

[video]

[nowi_wins]

Why?

[Not that she minds playing house or anything but that just sounds..... weird.]

[video]

[likescats]

THEY WERE TRYING TO CREATE THE PERFECT TOWN I BELIEVE BY TRAPPING PEOPLE IN IT.

[video]

[nowi_wins]

That's.....

[She takes a minute to try and come up with a proper word for it. There.... isn't one.]

...really weird.

[Yeah, let's go with that.]

But don't worry about it. We don't have to play house. There's always hide and seek or tag or any other game you want.
