[Something has been bothering Death as December crawls forward.]

Do terrible things tend to happen here right around major holidays?

[She sounds rather calm about the whole thing, but she still would rather like to know.]

I... I see. I'm sorry, I'm so used to seeing death in other forms that I just... well, I don't really expect to see Death the concept ITSELF as something physical.

Are holidays not very festive where you're from?

[acapriciousthing]

It's okay. Most people don't.

Re: [voice]

[acapriciousthing]

Oh, they're festive enough back home. It's the place that I was in between there and here that has me worried.

[ghost_shield]

Ah. Uh, well I do try to get folks to move on. I'm sorry if I don't exactly have 100%, but at least I'm trying.

Do terrible things in general happen here?

[likescats]

THEY DON'T HAVE THOSE IN ...JAPAN?

[voice]

[greatseal]

Well... If anything too dangerous starts to happen, there's plenty of people here to stop it. I don't think anyone wants to let this time of year get ruined.

Re: [voice]

[acapriciousthing]

There's always that. Even there, we still tried to celebrate.

I did give up on making fruitcake though.

Re: voice;

[acapriciousthing]

I guess that would be a good question too.

[acapriciousthing]

[Wait, what?]

What do you mean?

[acapriciousthing]

Well... sometimes.

[DC universe here]

Not quite to this extent, as a general rule.

[doesasordered]

Things have been very strange here, yes, but I'm not sure how they rate on a scale of "terribleness".

Re: Voice

[plunderbunny]

Oh! Well that's interestingly vague. Some kind of spirit or god then?

"This is true, embarrassment isn't fatal. Why do you ask?"

[acapriciousthing]

So far there hasn't been any psychological torment or massive injuries, which is always a plus.

Re: Voice

[acapriciousthing]

Not a god, exactly. I'm an anthropomorphic personification, we exist whether people believe in us or not. Death, specifically.

Re: Voice

[acapriciousthing]

The last place I was, major holidays tended to get... rather unpleasant.

[ghost_shield]

Oh! Uh, sorry, I should explain. I AM a spirit medium, but I also dabble in a sort of... negotiation-based exorcism, shall we say. Namely, I try to talk people into moving properly into the afterlife.

"Your world?"

Re: Voice

[acapriciousthing]

No, there was another place in between. Funny how you can go billions of years without once getting dragged into a strange place against your will and then two come along right in a row.

[acapriciousthing]

So you deal with the stubborn ones, then.

[electricyousei]

"Another place, so this is your second experience like that. Maybe I should be the one asking you questions then."

[doesasordered]

I would have to agree. Though it depends on how you rank "cross-dimensional kidnapping" on that scale as well.

Re: Voice

[acapriciousthing]

I'm not sure how much the two really have in common though. The persona thing is new. No fake families either.
