[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.]

That's... a baseline. I asked because the last weird cross-dimensional place I wound up had a pattern of horror at holidays.

Well, about as stubborn as I can handle as they don't require force. I'm... not so great on the force front.

[acapriciousthing]

The dead in your world sometimes require force?

[ghost_shield]

Er, sometimes. You know, like more traditional exorcisms. Or ghost weaponry or... something. For the aggressive jerks, you know?

Yes, there's that, I did get terribly attached to the grandkids. And, well, my assigned husband.

Scythes and such?

Most people didn't make much of it, other than having to live in the same house at least some of the time. Our case was a bit... unusual, that was all.

HOW ODD.

I WONDER WHAT ELSE THIS PLACE HOLDS.

[doesasordered]

You've been in a place like this before?

Re: Voice

[acapriciousthing]

Kinda. There were constructs who insisted all the relationships were real. Sometimes there were constructs filling out the household if there weren't enough kidnapees to fill in father, mother and two kids.

[acapriciousthing]

I have to admit being pretty curious about this Philemon and Nyarlathotep. They sound a little more the scale we're used to.

[acapriciousthing]

Not identical, but there were some similarities. Mostly the involuntary arrival.

"So like being forced to be dolls for a sadistic 6 year old?"

[Well that is... eerily apt]

The person running the show even took the form of a little girl, most of the time.

[doesasordered]

I suppose kidnappings are usually pleasant, and that we're here for a reason. But do you think things here will really get terrible? Is there something we should be prepared for?

"It sounds like the plot of some sort of psychological horror manga."

[acapriciousthing]

You can't let it take over your life or anything but it might be something to keep in mind.

Re: Voice

[acapriciousthing]

A little bit, especially on the bad days.

Was there something wrong with the fruitcake?

Re: [voice]

[acapriciousthing]

Well, it takes a while to make a good fruitcake and something always seemed to happen to disrupt that whole process.

Most people would agree with you.
