[Death had not enjoyed the holiday. Not at all. However when he walks outside he finds a rather strange, rather large box waiting for him by the mailbox.

A. There is a white horse standing outside the house. No such thing as a white horse you say? Binky is odd like that. Death is patting his head. Binky is a little confused at the moment.

Hey, I'm making tea, did you--

A horse.

[Looks over.]

YES. THIS IS MY HORSE, BINKY. HE ARRIVED IN THE MAIL.

BINKY, THIS IS ....DEATH. WELL ANOTHER DEATH.

[Binky looks over at her.]

Very traditional.

[Death reaches out to pet Binky's nose. This is one traditional aspect she could get behind.]

Hello Binky.

WELL I TRIED A FEW OTHERS. THE ONE'S MADE OF BONES KEPT FALLING APART. AND THE FLAMING ONES SET THINGS ON FIRE TOO MUCH.

[Binky leans in, she seems familiar. So he doesn't mind.]

I MUCH PREFER BINKY.

What if I don't want anything?

NOTHING AT ALL?

[Luke was on his way to the park, and as soon as the horse lands he jumps back in surprise.]

[Death glances over as he get's off the horse.]

HELLO LUKE.

[Why yes. This is perfectly normal.]

Hello um...Mr. Death.

This is your horse?

[He's reaching up to pet Binky on the nose now.]

[Binky leans down to be patted.]

YES. THE TOWN RETURNED HIM TO ME.

HIS NAME IS BINKY.

That is nice horse.

You must be Death, you look like you do on TV and movies. Or on Halloween.

Or maybe you are Grim Reaper.

Well met.

[Just getting off the horse now. He pats Binky's head.]

THANK YOU.

I AM DEATH. THOUGH SOMETIMES THEY CALL ME THE GRIM REAPER AS WELL.

change_seasons November 29 2011, 20:48:29 UTC

You look part.

Is it my time or is this happy coincidence?

[Crowe remembers this "Hogswatch" schtick from last year. And also last Christmas...]

Um. I-I'll take a pass if that's okay. I've learned my lesson asking for any "wishes" in Mayfield.

THAT WAS ASKING MAYFIELD. NOT THE HOGFATHER.
