Happy Dia De Los Muertos!

Nov 01, 2006 05:11

From the mists, a huge zeppelin suddenly appears, slowly descending to the ground. There's an eery, otherworldy feel to it, as if it were ethereal without actually being so. Upon landing, a door opens in the gondola, and out emerges a skeleton. He is jovial in appearance, with colorful markings on his face that indicate his nature as a calavera ( Read more... )

Death looks at the other skeleton curiously. WHO ARE YOU?

Oh hey, you work with the Department of Death? Haven't heard too much about what's been going on in there ever since the major reshuffle a few years back. Lotsa corruption and conspiracy stuff. I tell ya, the day you can't even trust DEATH to do what it's supposed 'ta...

Well anyway, Jose Zapata, driver of the zeppelin of the Day of the Dead, at your service.

Death looks at him for another few moments. WHAT?

*eyes him* You ain't with the department? Ohhh, you must be from one 'a them places where Death's just one guy, eh? Sorry, your uniform fooled me for a sec.

ER, YES. I AM THE ONLY DEATH IN MY WORLD. He pauses. WELL, MY GRANDDAUGHTER HELPS SOMETIMES. Another pause. AND DEATH OF RATS. IT GETS SOME PEOPLE. One more. ALBERT HELPS AROUND THE HOUSE.

Granddaughter, eh? Wow, bet she's a cutie. Yeah, we got all sortsa schmoes working at the Department of Death -- usually workin' off some life debt or something to make enough money to make the four year journey in style. Was a big scandal a few years back, though -- some friggin' schmoe cheating good folks outta their fast rides to eternal rest for profit. I heard that got cleaned up real good, though.

Did my time for a bit. Started journeying, but then I got the zeppelin job and man, I didn't look back.

I DON'T QUITE KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

driverofthedead November 2 2006, 03:59:09 UTC

Yeah, I suppose you wouldn't. Ah well. Good to meet another guy in the death business, anyway.

ER, THANK YOU.
