*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.*

<Snipped quote by Shadow Dragon>
*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]

*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.*

*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]

*I chuckle at the use of the word [i]killer[/i], ironic with the present company as it was.*

[color=bc8dbf]I'm glad I never crossed paths with these [i]killer[/i] whales else I wouldn't have the pleasure of such company.[/color]

*Motions to everyone in the room.*
