WHAT THEY NEVER MEANT

(OOC: I don't know if this counts as a fandom post or not, but Death's putting it up anyway. >.> So, nyah. This isn't big enough to put behind LJ-cut, I think... I'm new at this, so please correct me if ever I make mistakes!)

I UNDERSTAND THAT TODAY IS THE DAY OF ATONEMENT IN THE JEWISH RELIGION. THE JEWS MAY HAVE A WOEFULLY MISCONSTRUED IDEA OF

I quite like the poem. It's got an old school kind of feel to it, but being Death, you gotta be pretty old right...? ;)

It also sounds pretty insincere though. I don't know what you're tryign to suggest about atonement, heh.

[extra_echizen]

Forgot this ;)

[i_speak_in_caps]

YOU CAN'T EXPECT ME TO FEEL SINCERE ABOUT ATONEMENT, OF ALL THINGS. I KNOW QUITE WELL THAT I HAVE NEVER DONE A WRONG.

[extra_echizen]

You've never done anything wrong? Ever? Never stolen a candy bar, or trodden on your brothers foot to annoy him, or anything?

[extra_echizen]

So what do you do all day?

[i_speak_in_caps]

COLLECT SOULS. WHEN I AM NOT DOING THAT, I DO AS I PLEASE. FOR EXAMPLE, I HAVE DISCOVERED THIS THING CALLED A COMPUTER AND AM USING IT AT THE MOMENT.

... What, you just keep them all in a box somewhere? Do you go to conventions with other collectors, bragging about how you found this one just lying on the ground one Hogswatch night or something?

[i_speak_in_caps]

CONTINUE IN THIS VEIN, SIR VIMES, AND I MIGHT MISTAKE YOU FOR SOMEBODY WITH A SENSE OF HUMOUR.

I DO NOT COLLECT THEM IN THE LITERAL SENSE OF THE WORD. I SIMPLY SEND THEM ALONG TO WHERE THEY ARE HEADED. IF I DIDN'T, THEY WOULDN'T DIE PROPERLY, AND THEN YOU WOULD HAVE A FAR LARGER PROBLEM ON YOUR HANDS.

[guardingdark]

Merely seeking clarification. You made it sound like a hobby.

You missed all the vampires. Ergo, we already have a rather large problem. Just do me a favor and leave the zombies; Reg's alright and he still owes me $2.

[i_speak_in_caps]

VAMPIRES AND ZOMBIES ARE A -WHOLE 'NUTHER THING-; I'M NOT IN CHARGE OF THOSE.

(ooc: is using dashes instead of quotation marks kind of weird, do you think?
you liar! you're not doing homework!)

[guardingdark]

You're not? Damn.

(ooc: And whose fault is that? YOU'RE the one who introduced me to Brawl!)

[i_speak_in_caps]

WISH YOU LUCK WITH THEM, THOUGH. *salutes, grinning like death (har har)*

(ooc: I think Sirius Black is affecting me adversely (humour-wise). And hey, don't knock it! I'm getting my homework done!)

[i_speak_in_caps]

I'M DEATH, MR. ECHIZEN. I CANNOT BE JUDGED BY MORTAL STANDARDS OF MORALITY.

[extra_echizen]

I guess not. I guess you can't go heaven anyway, so it doesn't really matter. In that case you could probably sin a whole load. It can be fun ;)

[i_speak_in_caps]

*wryly* I'M SURE YOU'D LOVE TO BE IN MY PLACE, MR. ECHIZEN.
