re: Souls and the Finding Of

[It’s that time of ...year? A joint Death post. Only this time the two of them look less than pleased. Well it’s probably easier to tell with the one with skin. The bone Death just ….seems less than pleased. Somehow.]

Recent events have made it clear that there are a few things we need to get out there. First of all, a reminder that we are both Death. And while we’re off duty and somewhat [okay a lot because when your starting point is nigh on omnipotent but let her have her pride] diminished here, that doesn't change the fact that souls are still our area of expertise.

SO IF YOU PERHAPS HAPPEN TO FIND SOME STRAY SOULS, YOU CAN CONTACT US. WE CAN HELP RETURN THEM TO THE PEOPLE THEY BELONG TO.

We want to help you with that sort of thing. Just because we’re off duty doesn't mean we don’t care.

WE CARE A GREAT DEAL.

And there are things no one is meant to meddle in. [She makes meddle sound like a dirty word. As far as she’s concerned, it is.]

THERE ARE RULES. AND THEY ARE THERE FOR REASONS. [Death isn't always fond of these rules but you DO NOT BREAK THEM.]

And just for the record? All of this goes double if you’re at risk of unleashing any sort of zombie hoard on board.

Do you know what the Death being for this world is?

[It's been bothering him for a while now, and seeing them - Gavroche said that they look like people, but seeing how different they are from what he has seen of and heard about the Black Shuck, it's really striking.]

But you have tried to find someone who worships them or someone who was adopted by them, yes?

[That might give leads, after all...]

No one on board has said they're familiar with this universe's Death. All we know is that people definitely do die here.

[Properly, even]

Nobody in my original world has never met our death being either, not even us. Maybe they're just really good at not being seen in some worlds.

To mortals, perhaps.

But who's "us"?
muscovy: (from the east)

[personal profile] muscovy 2015-05-15 10:33 am (UTC)(link)
But nations don't die. We just go to another place. [And that isn't an euphemism. If it was, they couldn't visit back with the remaining nations that easily.] So we aren't really mortals, yes? [Even less than some Elves.]

Maybe you looked in the wrong places.

[personal profile] acapriciousthing 2015-05-16 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, you're a Nation?

But to us, everyone is mortal.
muscovy: (I can really have it?)

[personal profile] muscovy 2015-05-16 07:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Why are you being silly?
acapriciousthing: (Default)

[personal profile] acapriciousthing 2015-05-17 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
Nations, worlds, stars. Everything ends. Except us.
muscovy: (sunflowers can't live here)

[personal profile] muscovy 2015-05-22 03:14 pm (UTC)(link)
So you will still be there when everyone else died or went away?

[that sounds very lonely.

It's just... part of the job.
muscovy: (look what I found)

[personal profile] muscovy 2015-05-25 11:55 am (UTC)(link)
But you will automatically be there for your own end, so you don't have to stay around forever because after you ended there won't be anything any longer, so nothing can end anymore.

Even Destiny doesn't know what happens after that. Del said something once, but I don't like to press her for things she knows and Destiny doesn't.

[She'd never hurt her sister like that. And it's painfully obvious that thinking about these things hurts Del.]

cries about CR gone by and how Russia and Delirium were best friends in another game

[personal profile] muscovy 2015-05-26 06:39 am (UTC)(link)
Who is Del?

[You have strange friends, lady (yes, even knowing that she's Death).]
acapriciousthing: (Default)

Yes that needs to happen

[personal profile] acapriciousthing 2015-05-27 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
The youngest of the family.

Her full name is Delirium, now.

[But she prefers Del]
muscovy: (I can really have it?)

yessssssssss

[personal profile] muscovy 2015-05-27 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Why did she change her name?
acapriciousthing: (Default)

[personal profile] acapriciousthing 2015-05-30 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
Our names reflect what we embody. Her deepest essence changed.
muscovy: (I can really have it?)

[personal profile] muscovy 2015-06-01 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[He can understand that.]

I'll change my name too, but I don't know why yet.

[The thing about being as married is they are, is sometimes they start each other's sentences. ANd really, that was the interesting question right now]
muscovy: (from the east)

Russia. And I will be strong and big and have lots of friends then. John said so, and Heather and England too.

A remarkable number of them, really. Ukraine looked after our grandson when he was having trouble.
muscovy: (we're good)

[personal profile] muscovy 2015-06-08 06:37 pm (UTC)(link)
John said that Ukraine will be my friend, but I don't know if she's around yet when I'm from.

[Names changing and all that. He doesn't know a Ukraine, but maybe he or she just had a different name?]

[personal profile] acapriciousthing 2015-06-12 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
[She gives Death the look of 'relax I've got this']

Family, of a sort.

[That covers a whole range of complicated relationships]
muscovy: (I can really have it?)

[personal profile] muscovy 2015-06-15 07:56 am (UTC)(link)
...so it is not the future name of one of my sisters?

[That makes him sad, because really, he'd like to have a confirmation that they'll survive into that future, too.]
