[quote=@Dark Cloud] [color=bc8dbf]Yes, I'm good friends with Death himself. Interesting individual like my undead comrade Vinashay.[/color] *Nods towards a shadow in the corner of the room.* [color=bc8dbf]Do show yourself friend.[/color] [/quote] *Death him-fucking-self? Absolutely [i]wonderful[/i]. My flat expression didn't quite convey the existential dread of that concept... more because my very existence was as likely to fascinate as it might personally offend such a being.* [color=00a651]So... Death, huh? Like... [i]THE[/i] Death or just [i]A[/i] Death? I mean, the multiverse apparently being what it is, I feel like there's a distinction to be made there.[/color] *A moment later, my head swiveled towards the indicated shadow with trepidation.* [quote=@Shadow Dragon] *There's a swirl of crimson smoke, and he appears infrount of the group, then sweeps into a elegant bow* I am Vinashy. It is a pleasure to make your aquantince. [/quote] *It was a good thing I was fairly numb to the concept of self-preservation presently, because otherwise my poker face might not have held in the face of the utterly [i]noxious, [b]seething[/b][/i] scent of blood that billowed off of the newcomer's soul and battered my senses, even through Alna's aura. At this point, I was starting to wonder if I might have just stumbled into being the "noble general" of some evil overlord type. Between the skeleton's obvious charisma and power, the unstable but loyal cutie as his maybe right hand, and the probably "hyper competent" assassin general now showing up, I was starting to see a potential pattern developing before my genre savvy senses. Just my luck.* [color=00a651]Ah... Yes, a pleasure. Sorry, I'm a bit out of my depth right now, I think.[/color] [quote=@Uncle Death] *Falls from the ceiling, my skull rolling away from my body* agh, my neck. [/quote] *Honestly, my [i]own[/i] neck probably should have been getting sore from how much I kept having my attention snapped in different directions. I watched relatively impassively, as Alna conversed with... another skeleton.* [quote=@Dark Cloud] [color=bc8dbf]A holiday is a holiday or whatever common phrase you humans use eh?[/color] *Glances to Collin* [/quote] [quote=@Uncle Death] *shrugs* I wouldn't know. [/quote] *I shrugged in turn.* [color=00a651]Eh, you're not wrong. I've not really participated much in holidays in recent memory. The Apocalypse tends to be something of a mood-killer... as does the existential dread of multiverse-ganking space-whales.[/color]
