[Combeferre's expression is awkward, and a little sheepish as he stares into the console, and there is no small amount of soot in his frankly wild hair, while he is cleaning off his spectacles, then glancing back into the camera.]

A question for my fellow passengers:

How does one get out of something when they realize they have no talent for it, but are already promised to work on that thing?

Also,[Combeferre's expression here is particularly sheepish somehow.] I seem to have managed some minor destruction to the kitchen on the 16th deck. Can someone explain to me WHY the silver rimming on the mugs caused it to spark and then explode? I really would like the scientific reasoning so that I can learn to understand it, if there is one.

Thank you.

[Two faces appear on screen. Well, one pale face wearing a rather lot of black eyeliner and one skull. It’s like a face. Really. They are both smiling, though the one with a skull may have less of a choice in that regards thanks to his permanent grin. The perky goth one speaks up first]

Okay, we’ve been getting a lot of questions so we figured we’d clear it up. We’re Death.

YES BOTH OF US.

And no, he can’t not talk like that.

IT COMES WITH HAVING NO VOCAL CHORDS.

[The voice in question sounds like the slamming of crypt doors, or tombstones falling over. And more importantly it bypases the whole “being heard” bit, to just appear in your head.]

Some people find it easier to call us Didi and Bill. That works for us.

[Her voice, on the other hand, sounds perfectly human]

AND BEFORE ANYONE ASKS. WE ARE NOT FROM THE SAME WORLD. I AM THE DEATH OF THE DISCWORLD.

I’m from... well, it doesn’t have a name. The one where Earth has a remarkable number of superheroes. That also means that neither of us is actually on duty here.

IF THERE IS A DEATH OF THIS WORLD. WE HAVE YET TO SEE THEM.

And... if you have any questions [Because everyone always does] we’ll do our best to answer them.

((Tag Order: You--> Didi--> Bill... though they may start finishing each other's sentences))
