Death Five: DEAD MAN WALKING

[likescats]

 [Well now, that was strange. After trying to convince people to drink milk Death realizes he's back to normal. And when he find a letter in the mail with a picture of a skeleton on it.....

He's a little more back to normal.]

[Filtered to Susan and she may notice the voice with no "quotation marks" is back]

I SEEM TO HAVE REGAINED MY BODY.

[And you can

[...And she thought the ordeal with candies were over, but this was not a zombie. Just a mass of... clearly supernatural energy, and it reeked of...

The non-living.

She's suspicious, but on the surface, she simply looks curious.]

[He's just looking at a tree now.]

[expiatrice]

[...Adjusting her glasses.]

Excuse me? I hope that I'm not interrupting anything...?

[likescats]

[Glances over.]

NOT REALLY.

CAN I HELP YOU?

[expiatrice]

[Used to the supernatural, she fully notes that he is communicating telepathically.]

That's good. I hope that this is okay to ask, mister, but is your current appearance what you customarily are?

[likescats]

[...

No point in being hesitant. This is Mayfield, too: where all sorts of weird things are seen to happen. So...]

I wouldn't want to be rude and presume, but there is a certain air about you. May I ask about what you truly are?

I AM DEATH.

[expiatrice]

[...So it's a personification. It's curious, but at the same time...]

The Reaper. ...I suppose that your usual powers don't work here, do they? [A bit obvious, but that's the most sensible thing to say other than gawk and stare. She'll keep her mixed sentiments to herself.]

[likescats]

I'M AFRAID NOT.

[expiatrice]

[...No use antagonizing what's not hurting you, though she didn't like the reminder not of death, but more of immortality.] That may be a human thing for me to say, but it may be for the best, given what you usually represent. Will you be alright though, being like this here?

I AM ONLY THE DEATH FOR THE DISCWORLD.

....

I SUPPOSE I SHALL HAVE TO FIND OUT.
