His Butler, Barricaded [video, 4][

[ser_vile]

[Sebastian is at the Shinra Hotel, sitting calmly on his windowsill, as if taunting the zombies that walk nearby. He lines up a fork, then lets it fly, right into a zombie's face, hard enough to drive it into the bone. It shudders and collapses, with its indifferent companions stumbling around it to take its place

Oh my! That was impressive! [Winnie appears on the screen, clearly on the street, and though slightly bloodied, dress ripped, she's cheerful and uninjured.]

I can't do anything nearly as neat.

[She nods lightly, expression thoughtful]

In my world it was found one could cure most diseases and illnesses, and greatly expand ones' lifespan, by absorbing souls. Only certain people can actually take the souls from others, and there's another group that can store the souls for transport, without absorbing them.

[She sighs] It started out simple enough. Criminals and those doomed to die anyhow. Then it moved on to the poor and the rift between Upper Class and Lower Class grew far too large.

[He nods understandingly. It was just the way of Man. And Demons, really, but could one really begrudge him for having to eat any more than the cow begrudges the farmer?]

It is not possible in our world, at least not for most. It is not that they do not try...

[It was funny she should mention that, considering what was going on in that godawful cruise ship he had vacated.]

[soulsrob]

I'm not sure how I feel about it all, really. I've never indulged.

[Mostly because she can't absorb souls, but you know.] I feel bad for the people who don't deserve it. Everyone's so obsessed with immortality, but that makes life rather...cheap, doesn't it? I rather like knowing I won't live forever.

[ser_vile]

[He wouldn't know how that feels. Unless something actively managed to kill him, he would continue on until Armageddon.]

Yes, mortality does make life a precious commodity, doesn't it?
