A girl in a long black jacket is dodging a flurry of thrust attacks from a sword-wielding technician. Nothing seems that strange about the scene. She's clutching in both hands a bold red and black scythe, ducking and weaving around attacks instead of parrying them. ...There is blood dripping down the snath, originating from the place where the

*Is a bit too disturbed by the blood to appreciate his first look at a weapon-turn-human transformation.*

... What happened after that?

[phantomfenton]

That's, uh, cool... *And sort of pretty disturbing. After all, even if they are evil, he's still eating people...*

[thecoolestsoul]

You sound kind of creeped out. It's not like eating a soul is anywhere near as bad as eating someone's face or something.

[phantomfenton]

*Nice imagery, Soul. (It doesn't seem to have helped.)*

Yeah, but--you're still eating a part of them, aren't you?

[thecoolestsoul]

Why waste it? We have to kill them anyway, so it's not like they're going to keep it.

[phantomfenton]

But--isn't their soul, like, their essence?

What do they have left if they don't have one? Can they still turn into ghosts? *Not that he's worried for people like that--in fact, the idea of meeting them in ghost form is more unsettling than that of souls being eaten. It's just the principle of it all...*

[thecoolestsoul]

They can only turn into ghosts if their disembodied souls are left floating around. Reapers usually send them off if that happens.

I don't really know much of the specifics of how or why stuff works with souls, though. If it really bugs you, Shinigami could probably tell you.

[phantomfenton]

Oh...

Nevermind, I'll probably ask him the next time I see him.

So you, uh, collect souls for grades? How long've you been doing that?

I sort of had to make this up. orz

[thecoolestsoul]

Not very long. It starts in what's basically grade seven and goes from there, so about a year, I guess.
