So, me and my buddy Neil used to get into all kinds of trouble back in Iowa. We'd grown up together, so odds are if there was somethin' goin' down, it was the two of us in the middle of it ( Read more... )

Your...first death?

thelightofgrace August 26 2011, 17:23:13 UTC

I'm an angel of death, darlin'. I was about seventeen when I helped someone die for the first time.

doctorofdeath August 27 2011, 04:33:50 UTC

You -- that's not possible. I mean, I-I know it's possible here, but...I don't understand.

thelightofgrace August 27 2011, 04:36:32 UTC

I take it you're new to our particular piece of the Rift?

doctorofdeath August 27 2011, 04:39:25 UTC

I arrived a few days ago.

thelightofgrace August 27 2011, 04:41:56 UTC

Well, alright. Are there angels and demons where you're from?

doctorofdeath August 27 2011, 04:43:35 UTC

No, there are not. They exist only in stories, myths.

thelightofgrace August 27 2011, 04:47:24 UTC

Here things are a little different, but they ain't exactly the angels and demons you hear about in your myths. They start off human, and then around puberty they go through a change, and come into their Callings.

So from your inception, it's known what you will become. Had you always known you would be an Angel of Death?

thelightofgrace August 27 2011, 04:56:16 UTC

No. That's a bit of a roulette. Both my parents were guardian angels. Initially they thought I'd be a guardian like them, but no one really knows for sure until we get our wings and the change happens.

doctorofdeath August 27 2011, 05:13:08 UTC

I'm actually quite familiar with death myself; I'm not an angel of it, though I am a doctor of it. I'm a medical examiner, to be precise.

thelightofgrace August 27 2011, 05:14:46 UTC

I find that to be a very admirable career.

doctorofdeath August 27 2011, 05:26:12 UTC

I love my work.

thelightofgrace August 27 2011, 05:30:30 UTC

That's important -- to love what you do.

doctorofdeath August 27 2011, 05:35:05 UTC

I agree emphatically, though I imagine what you do is more difficult than my interactions with the dead. You're with people as they're dying, I see them after their life has already ended.

thelightofgrace August 27 2011, 05:38:29 UTC

Most angels of death don't make it very long. Insanity or choosing to fall because they can't handle the Calling they've been assigned.
