All that snow isn't meant to last. I've seen and heard more than a fair share of complaints. That snowball fight was a treat. Everyone should try and get some fun out of it before its gone away. No snow men? I'm surprised! Ah well, I'll see what I can do

It never snowed where I'm from, but I don't like it. Ice is hard to dig through.

[highcost_living]

You could now chalk that up to experience.

I'm sure in another circumstance snow would be entertaining.

[necromerchant]

It's conflicting. There are plenty of graves to dig up, but at the same time chipping through all that ice is hard on the back.

[highcost_living]

There's no doubt in my mind that you'll work around that, Graverobber.

Or you could always wait til a season change. Everybody needs a break.

[necromerchant]

So you know me! I knew I was popular with the ladies but I didn't know my name would get around this quickly.

I don't take breaks. Might lose customers.

Since you already know my name, might I ask yours?

[highcost_living]

I know a lot of people, actually. But you're the only Graverobber here in the City. That's something, right?

...if you say so.

Death, we only met once before. Not everyone remembers, don't feel bad about it.

[necromerchant]

The one and only.

Oh, I like that name. If we'd met, I would've remembered you. You ever think about trying Gothic Lolita?

[highcost_living]

It's more than a name. Kind of like yours.

You weren't such a big tough guy then.

...I'm just not like that, Graverobber. But thanks. I think that's a very sweet thought.

[necromerchant]

Well, I'm intrigued now.

That must've been a long time ago, then.

Okay, Lolita's not your thing, that's fine. You can still ride my pale horse any day, Death.

[highcost_living]

Yes, very. You were just breathing. Don't wrack your brain. I was just saying hi.

It would never work out. You should know.

[necromerchant]

That long ago? Well.

No, that's fine, I'm kind of a 'permanent bachelor' anyways. But if you want one night of fun, I'm your guy.

[highcost_living]

Yes. See?

That's a very kind offer. I couldn't possibly take it up.

[necromerchant]

That's a shame. But if you change your mind, let me know.

[highcost_living]

Should I ever change my mind, I'll let you know. I don't think that would be fair though. You'd die. Literally. Then that is that.

[necromerchant]

I'd die? Are you just that much of a knockout?

[highcost_living]

Graverobber, I am the anthropomorphic embodiment of Death.
