Shelley appears to have been shot. This is both irritating and inconvenient ( Read more... )

Taptaptap go the phalanges drumming a rhythm on the bar.

You've got a lot to answer for, Shelley.

(Still, he looks pleased to see her. He's grinning.)

...Oh.

Um.

"It was completely not my fault this time! I'm sorry! Hello!"

Hello, says Death.

How long did you make this time?

Shelley casts her mind back as she makes her way over to a barstool.

"A couple of years, I think. Maybe one and a half. It was going so well!"

That's very good, for her.

What's the phrase for when you've not being doing something then you accidentally do it? Something about carriages.

Shelley shrugs.

"Well, I didn't fall off a carriage."

Which is weird, because proportionately, you'd think one of her deaths would have been a traffic accident, by now.

Maybe next time.

Metaphorically, Death suggests.

Let's check the schedule!

Ahem.

"That is true," she says, meanwhile. "Would you like a drink? It's the least I can do to apologise for this... inconvenience."

For the record, she's envisioning triplicated death certificates and error report forms all over the place.

I will have a beer, thank you.

And then, conversationally, do you intend to stay this time?

Shelley nods, and pats the bar tentatively. It's been a while and- beer!

Okay, she really missed Bar. ♥

"I don't know," she says thoughtfully. "Coffee, please!" pop "I might see if my room is still mine, at least."

Whose might it be?

"I... don't know. But if it has been a long time since I was here, it might have been rented to someone else, I don't know."

Did you have belongings in the room?

shelley_winters March 5 2009, 14:46:45 UTC
"Some things."

Whiiiich she can't decide whether she'd miss or not if they vanished.

"But they have a Lost Property box for left things, I think."

That is good, Death confirms. Maybe you could check it if your room is gone.

shelley_winters March 5 2009, 14:59:42 UTC
"...Yes, I think I will."

Because in Milliways, whole rooms probably do fit in the Lost Property box.
