Jade and Death

Mar 16, 2004 00:40

Death: *herds some souls into Mandos* *tiny depressed skeleton*

Jade: :checks them in: Hey, are you ok? :crouches down beside him and keeps Opal from grabbing his scythe: Would you like some tea?

Death: ...*nods*

Jade: :pours him a small cup of tea: You want to talk about it?

Death: chitter ;_;

Jade: oh. I don't actually speak chitter. :offers cookie:

Death: *slowly turns human and takes it* mmph.

Jade: Sorry. I'm taking lessons, but I haven't learned it yet.

Death: it's all in the mime I'm doing to accompany it. *stares at his tea*

Jade: So they tell me. This is Opal, by the way. Please excuse the grabby baby hands.

Death: >.> I have horrible memories of babies. It usually involves gaping wet mouths and cries of 'rattle!'

Jade: I'll keep her over here. So, why the sad chitters?

Death: >.> Erendis.

Jade: Ohhhh. Should I get you something stronger, or is tea all right?

Death: tea's fine. *mopey voice*

Jade: :pats his shoulder:

Death: She was going on about hating her husband and throwing away her stuff and then she just...changed her mind o.o

Jade: People do that sometimes.

Death: they do? this is the only time I ever...

Jade: ah. Might I suggest someone unmarried, or at least without a visible partner next time?

Death: She started it. I don't understand any of you.

Jade: You being females or you being people in general?

Death: people.

Jade: People are strange

Death: *fidgets*

Jade: :sips tea: Sorry I can't be more help.

Death: I think I'm going to take a break.

Jade: From what?

Death: my job. That thing I've been doing since before Namo hired all you new people >.>

Jade: Oh. Well, hey, if you want to.

Death: do you know how to move the dead around? *worried look*

Jade: :nods:

Death: You do? The severing from the mortal coil and everything?

Jade: I watch, you know. I know how it works

Death: ...*still doesn't look convinced*

Jade: If you don't trust me, why are you leaving?

Death: I want to. *fidget* Maybe I can teach you.

Jade: I'm teachable

Death: give me your hand

Jade: :gives:

Death: *passes on all of it.*

Jade: oh. :headache:

Death: every single second. Every day.

Jade: Man, go take your vacation. Why haven't you done this before?

Death: ...I never wanted to. I'm more of an embodiment than a maia. I think Namo made me to be Vaire's pet

Jade: That wouldn't be so bad. Except for the shuffling people off the mortal coil thing

Death: They need that.

Jade: I know.

Death: so. can you do that?

Jade: yes.

Death: kay. I just get tired sometimes and it's what I'm made for and...*peers at his now cold tea*

Jade: :gets him a fresh cup of tea: I can handle it

Death: *nods* *sips*

Jade: :cuddles Opal: So... are you done for good, or what?

Death: I don't know. o.o

Jade: No rush. Just let me know someday

Death: *nods and turns into his normal form and darts off under his chair and away*

Jade: :sips tea:
