Now, Can you dig it? )
Ah~n, you've created quite a mess for me to clean up.
{The Reaper laughed, procuring a lace-trimmed kerchief from his breastpocket before crouching and playfully mopping a splatter of blood from his cheek}
You really need to invite me next time. It's no fun just tidying up after you, you know~

Well you were more than welcome to help out just now, we might have had three other bodies to add to just the one.

Oh but I like that little Queen. She's not like the others- she has fire and anger and regret branded on her soul.
{He toyed with what was once Sylar's shirt collar}
It's much nicer to let the interesting ones live a little longer. Gives us a chance to flesh out their story before giving them a wondrous climax.

[Especially after he had just had a small taste of just what she could do. It was magic he did not have, and he was sure Ashe had even more. Grell's statement makes him turn back.]
That's...
[He's just silent for a few moments, standing in the light drizzle as the man in front of him continued to play with the tatters of his clothing.]
... I never thought of it that way.

Never~? Why, there's quite an art to it my dear.
{His eyes glow stronger as he speaks, the thrill racing along his nerves}
It's so easy for creatures like us to kill. It's much harder to let them live for a little longer, but much much more rewarding to play. This world is our stage, my dear, and we are the leading actors and actresses. Why not give the world a show, hm?

It's always just been me going after them and then either they die or somehow manage to fight me off. It's like natural selection. The strong live, the weak die.
[Grell's eyes remind him of something though. They weren't animals. They couldn't even really be considered human. Neither of them would die, and both could take lives with near impunity.]
You're right, that does sound like more fun. I have all the time in the world, why do I need to end their lives so quickly?
[A smile crept onto his face.]
I've always targeted those with abilities I wanted to take, but this... this means I can have fun with anyone. Sure those without powers won't be as challenging, but I'm sure we could still manage to find a way to get enjoyment out of them.

Exactly~! There's a whole island full of people, my dear. Whether we are here, or back in our own worlds- we have forever and they don't.
{He cups his face, leaning in so their brows touched and they saw eye to eye}
We are gods, Sylar. Gods of Death. We owe it to them to make sure they don't die in such mundane ways.

Now I know why you liked me so much... It wasn't just that the way I killed them was unique. It was because their deaths served a greater purpose.
[Gods... he wouldn't go quite that far. Grell might be, but he knew that there was still a way to kill him. If he got enough powers though, one day he just might become one.]
How do we choose them though? The ones we toy with over the ones we just take for our needs?

I like you because you're like me. You're different from everyone and they fear you not just because of what you're capable of doing to them- but because they don't understand you. People fear what they do not understand.
{He waves a hand dismissively, smoky wisps banding together to form a wad of papers in his grasp}
My List, dear Sylar. The names of every mortal in this here city. Now I can't give it to you, but I can let you take a peek at who needs to die and when.
Reply
His eyes immediately go to the papers when they appear.]
I think I can deal with those terms.
[For now...]
Anyone on there for tonight?
Reply
Not tonight- though I guess that won't stop you. I best tend to your 'gift', my dear.
{He procures a heavy woollen mantle typical of the era of London he hailed from. The Reaper drapes it around Sylar's shoulders before fondly rubbing a splatter of blood from his shoulder.}
Another night. Soon, I promise.
{And he gives him a quick little peck on the cheek before sashaying back into the confines of the morgue}
