Death Fourteen: DEATH IS NOT HAPPY

[likescats]

 [After seeing the town decide to treat death so lightly, making a game of it in fact, Death was not pleased.

And then he learned even better news. And now he's doing something he knows is a bad idea.

Thinking things over.

Mayfield have a phone call. And a voice just appearing in your head when you pick up the phone.]

DO YOU EVER WONDER WHY THINGS

[She chooses to ignore Death's melancholy at first.]

No, Grandfather, it means we have two months to do whatever we'd like while all the students forget everything they've learned in the past year.

THAT SEEMS LIKE A POOR SYSTEM. WON'T WE END UP TEACHING THE SAME THING EVERY YEAR THEN?

[deaths_heritor]

That's usually the way it happens. I'm of the mind that it's one of the Auditor's less grandiose schemes to slowly rot the world from the inside out.

MOST ODD....

[deaths_heritor]

...Speaking of the end of the world, I hope you weren't too inconvenienced by last week's events.

[likescats]

NOT OVERLY.

I DID NOT ENJOY SEEING THEM TURN IT INTO A GAME THOUGH.

AND WHAT OF YOU SUSAN?

[Of course he knows already.]

[deaths_heritor]

Nothing I couldn't handle.

[Quick, slight subject change.]

Did you like being human again for a bit?

[likescats]

IT WAS JUST AS STRANGE AS BEFORE.

[Yeah....that last subject.]

I HEARD YOU HAD SOME HELP FROM SLUGGER.

[deaths_heritor]

[Drat.]

Did he tell you that? There was a minor spot of trouble, but we all came out in one piece, of course.

[likescats]

HE TOLD DIDI, WHO TOLD ME.

SHE ALSO HAPPENED TO MENTION EDWARD WAS THE ONE IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT 'SPOT' OF TROUBLE.

[deaths_heritor]

Edward's always in the middle of an ocean of trouble. It shouldn't be too surprising.

[likescats]

AND THAT HE TRIED TO KILL YOU.

[deaths_heritor]

[Darn it, Death.]

...That was slightly more surprising, but still not entirely out of the realm of possibilities. He comes from an asylum, after all.

[likescats]

WHAT DO YOU INTEND TO DO NOW?

[deaths_heritor]

Guilt-trip him into purchasing more chocolates for me, I think.

IS THAT ALL?
