Hey uh... Didi?

I want to talk to you. Uh, that ok?

the_highcost November 28 2011, 20:54:49 UTC

Hey, Eric! Sure, what's up?

ochitashinigami November 28 2011, 20:55:41 UTC

Ah well first... we can keep this private, right?

the_highcost November 29 2011, 06:26:02 UTC

Absolutely. Mum is the word!

ochitashinigami November 29 2011, 06:28:01 UTC

Well, I have a friend. A close friend.

He's a death God like me... that would make him one of yours too... right? I don'k now if you know of us but... maybe you know him? His name is Alan...

the_highcost November 29 2011, 07:44:20 UTC

Alan Humphries, right? I know him.

ochitashinigami November 29 2011, 16:06:20 UTC

Yes! That's him!

[He says a little to quickly, betraying his feelings some. Ok, now comes the part that hurts like hell to talk about.]

H-He's sick... Actually, he's dying... He's running out of time and I don't know what to do to save him. I'm grasping at straws for even the smallest bit of hope.

If you're death, if we're... yours... can't you... [He swallows hard.] Can't you do something?

the_highcost November 29 2011, 23:42:19 UTC

Everything and everyone has a time and a place to die. If it's his time, then there's nothing anyone can do about it. I'm sorry, I wish I could.

ochitashinigami November 29 2011, 23:47:01 UTC

No! [Eric's tone is hard.] Not us! We're gods of death. He doesn't have a time!

the_highcost November 30 2011, 05:54:47 UTC

Everyone and everything dies. One day I'll die. That's how it works, no one is immune.

ochitashinigami November 30 2011, 07:00:41 UTC

[Eric battles to keep back tears, but begins to loose.]

No! I mean... maybe that's true. But, that doesn't mean that THIS is HIS time! And I refuse to believe that these things are set in stone!

the_highcost December 2 2011, 02:55:53 UTC

Hon, they are set in stone. Have you met Destiny, yet? It's all written down in that big book of his.

ochitashinigami December 2 2011, 03:23:06 UTC

For humans, maybe. But, I'm NOT going to just ACCEPT that.

Besides, you don't even know that this IS in that damn book!

You... you don't understand. We mark the deaths of humans. That's ALL we do... for... for however long we have. We're all either emotionless or militant or just plain mad. We can't anything else.

But him... he's... good...

the_highcost December 2 2011, 05:05:45 UTC

Everything is in the book. This is in the book. It is.

[She nods.] I do understand. He's a very nice guy, and he genuinely cares about everyone. And he cares about you, and you care about him. So much that you want him to live.

ochitashinigami December 2 2011, 05:34:03 UTC

And am I suppose to just resign myself to going on... without him... for... god knows how long.

No, I'm not just accepting this!

the_highcost December 3 2011, 04:21:00 UTC

Yes. You are. And if you don't accept that, it's going to be a hard road for you.
