Commentinggg.

As mentioned before, I really do love the new darker outfit for Nick. Was it one that you had requested to be made…? I seem to remember for some reason, but maybe it was something different. I do love looking at what other people have done for Nick’s clothes. I think he makes anything look good honestly. ALSO, Ellis’ outfit with his T-shirt over a long-sleeved shirt. I DO LOVE. He looks adorable. ;-; Especially with the bag he has. So so perfect. And the fact that Nick is driving. That forever.

I like how in the beginning you sort of… I guess, was vague on how the story would turn out. Nick is like a normal guy driving in a fog (and you’d never guess he’d turn out to be Death/Grim Reaper). He’s such a nice guy too who wanted to give Ellis a lift begrudgingly in a way, in a Nick way. XD And Ellis seemed kind of shifty especially on page 6 when he got a blank expression when he said that Keith must have forgotten. I like Nick’s little smile on that page as well btw. Or just.. how his mouth is IDK LFKDJLFKDJS

Plus, Ellis is so Ellis wanting to pay Nick for his trouble of basically going the same way he was going. And Nick is so Nick wanting the money as well. OH THEM. XD I can so see that. Plus the conversation they have about Nick traveling alone and that it is lonely sometimes… bawwww cracks my heart a bit. ;-; So sweet.

Ahaha to Ellis calling Keith an asshole.

And <333 forever at Nick calling Ellis “kid.” Do love that in game as well. Plus Nick is… feeling a bit guilty? I guess for what he will be doing and it’s just that even though he just met Ellis, it seems like there’s a connection with him there. Surely he wouldn’t do that to just anyone, so Ellis is special yes? :333

Awesome concept with Nick as Death/Grim Reaper. T___T As I’ve mentioned and all. <3 Thanks for all your hard work.

I like seeing all the different reskins people make, some of the them are pretty good or different. I think Nick and Ellis have the most reskins out of the suriviors...aside from Zoey, that is. She has the most reskins, and even a few new models as well, including nudes. *sigh/facepalm* I'm not surprised about that lol.

And yes, I did request a hexed version of a black suited Nick. However, the one I used here isn't the one I requested. This one is missing Nick's rings and thigh holster (mmm thigh holster...sorry, fangirl moment *shame*), while the one I requested has those things. Now I've got both versions, hooray!

I tried to be as vague as I could, while trying to hint for either side. I was a bit nervous that it would seem predictable or even worse confusing and nonsensical due to my sick-addled mind trying to string a story together (Oh man, I still can't believe I actually managed to do this and even post it up IN ORDER that day. Go me!). But it seems like people get it :D

Originally, I was going to go the traditional route, with the hitchiker as the ghost. I was going to have a scene with Keith and Dave, with all the angst around Ellis' death and everything. But I saw a rarer reverse version (eh somewhat reverse) of the legend, where the driver is the devil. I decided to go that that route...only with Nick as Death. I liked it better, was easier for me to put together, and it was mercifully shorter (though, I do have a Nick the Devil reskin).

Ellis looks blank? I was going for somewhat sad or disappointed...Shucks. Nick's smile is weird. It's like a non-smile, but a smile. Or it goes on a different end of the spectrum and then he smiles maniacally. ARGH FACEPOSING! lol :P

I've been in Ellis' situation before...The someone forgot to pick me up and totally left me hanging part. Not the whole Death picked me up while hitchhiking thing *laughs* I don't hitchhike >__>. Least I wasn't alone when it happened, but I still yelled at my flaky friend for forgetting. Was in a bad mood for the rest of the day.

I think that Ellis would pay anyway, because it seems like the proper thing to do (even though Ellis only gave him like three dollars, I tried to make it look like more but I only have single or hundred dollar props). Nick seems lonely anyway...I just applied it to this. Death, while always in business, there's not lot of people happy to see him.

I enjoy whatever Nick calls Ellis, "Sport", "Kid", "Fireball" (I think he calls everyone that...even Coach lol), and my favorite: "AL-YUS" lol.

I didn't actually have a total reason in mind as to why Nick did Ellis this favor. I had a few ideas...but I left it open ended. If not for a good enough reason why...then at least for story progression and ending. That story had threatened to be longer than it was D:.

*sigh* I guess it's sort of following through on it's threat, as the plot bunnies are bothering me with ideas for a continuation.

Thank you for your comment, even though you sort of already told me a little of what you thought before lol. I still very much appreciate it. I got more details this time around, I love details! :)
