[ Without preamble, the feed comes on, Rin's distinct, accented voice rolling out of the NV. ]

That entire business with the cult makes me wonder: is coming back from the dead really so unusual a thing? [ His tone sounds pleasant enough, slightly musing, but the pause that comes after those words is calculated. ]In Spira, the deceased returned ( Read more... )

[He's in his office, reading papers. The kenseikan is in his hair today, as well as the scarf wrapped around his neck.]

There are several kinds of souls, and different types within those kinds, where I am from. Most are harmless and merely need led to Soul Society. Some need cleansed. And some cannot be saved.

Most interesting. [ It seems genuine enough, if the way he fixes his attention on the NV is any indication. ] Is there a particular set of criteria on which these classifications are based on?

[Video] soul_scatter March 23 2011, 17:37:33 UTC

Determination is based on the soul itself. The length of time it has remained in the mortal world is a factor as well as the manner of death. Violence, regret and pain make a very different soul than those who go with none of those.

Not so unlike my world, then. [ He chuckles briefly, then continues to speak. ]

What is the fate of souls led to this Soul Society, then? And who is tasked with leading them?

We don't have anything like that where I'm from, but it almost sounds pleasant compared to some of the crap we gotta put up with around here.

But where I'm from--yeah, it's pretty unusual.

what_scruples March 23 2011, 17:57:17 UTC

[ A soft laugh. ] As pleasant as being slowly smothered, you might say. This world has a certain vitality to it that I hadn't immediately realized was missing from my own.

What do you make of it, then, now that you're in a world where it's possible? [ He's deduced Rochelle's death from network posts and the like, because he's a creep like that of course, but he keeps his tone strictly neutral and curious. ]

axemeaquestion March 24 2011, 01:47:19 UTC

[A bit wryly:] Okay, almost pleasant.

[But she hesitates trying to find the words to answer that next question.]

I guess it's--it's good to have a second chance. It scared the hell out of me at first, but it's better than if it was permanent, right?

[Pause.]

The idea of it did, I mean.

I do wonder if these revivals come with a cost we aren't aware of.

Still, perhaps you have a point.

I'm going to guess you don't have any proper soul reapers where you're from.

[ Video ] what_scruples March 23 2011, 18:02:44 UTC

[ He smiles, touching his hand to his chin. ]

What is it that a soul reaper does, if you'd be so kind as to enlighten me?

[ Video ] deathknellgrell March 23 2011, 18:36:36 UTC

[ Dryly ]

Reaps souls.

[ A little smirk, and then... ]

We ensure that there's no return journey from DEATH~☆

[ Video ] what_scruples March 23 2011, 18:43:57 UTC

I imagine souls must be a motley-- and inedible-- harvest. [ Just as dry, though the smile doesn't waver. ]

What do you receive in return?

Sounds like the darkness mutation.

And...maybe you should start thinking about putting up newcomers there on discount, after the towers kick everyone out.

[Video] what_scruples March 23 2011, 18:17:04 UTC

It's quite similar, isn't it? Strange what similarities do exist between worlds.

You think that it's an inevitability, then? That the Starter Apartments will cease to exist as we know them?

[Video] madeinoblivion March 23 2011, 18:29:43 UTC

Are the fiends around in the daytime?

I don't know. The news said they might.

[Video] what_scruples March 23 2011, 18:34:57 UTC

They most certainly are. [ He rolls his shoulders back in a shrug. ] They appear to adapt their form to their surroundings. Most species have regional variations.

[ He steeples his fingers together. ] I don't think it will come to that, provided adequate measures are taken.

I'm quite capable in the Darkness, if you indeed require employees for that time.

[Video] what_scruples March 24 2011, 01:36:13 UTC

As it happens, I do. [ He tips his head to the side, smiling lightly. ] I make it a policy not to hire anyone who cannot protect themselves.

Currently, we're looking to fill security and receptionist positions. Have you had experience with either?

[Video] masteryslight March 24 2011, 01:41:48 UTC

Not necessarily, however I am competent when it comes to combat. Security would be most sensible a job I look into.

[Video] what_scruples March 24 2011, 02:43:38 UTC

Very well. Shifts typically take 12 hours, and end with the morning sirens. You'll be paid more for the hours that fall within the Darkness, and you have three days off a week.

You'll also be expected to deal with the occasional rowdy customer, if and as necessary.
