[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.]

"Terrible is a bit much, odd is probably a better word for it."

[virtualbirdwatching]

I haven't been here for enough major holidays to really answer that... I have noticed a few people singing against their will, but that isn't really "terrible"... for some people...

[acapriciousthing]

Well, the singing's downright festive. It'd be nice if that's as far as any of this goes.

Re: Voice

[acapriciousthing]

Odd... I can deal with odd.

[Delirium is her little sister. Bring odd on.]

[virtualbirdwatching]

It really would be, wouldn't it?

[What the, what is this feeling...]

♪ I was the worst hope of my generation
Destroyed by madness, starving, hysterical
I should be allowed to share my feelings
I should be allowed to feel

[WELP.]

It looks like it's happening to me, too, now...

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

I wouldn't say terrible. More like really weird.

[acapriciousthing]

So would this be "depths of feelings" compulsive singing or just "jukebox on random"?

[Some people would probably find this weird. But she's not people.]

Re: [ voice ]

[acapriciousthing]

Weird I can handle.

[Okay, dangerous she can handle too]

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

Uh, yeah. I'd say so.

Unless "Death" is a nickname.

[acapriciousthing]

No, Death is what I am. Some people prefer to call me Didi.

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

...so you mean you're like, what happens after you die?

[ Yes Pit generally this is what Death is ]

[acapriciousthing]

I divide life from all that comes before and all that comes after.

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

Oh. Okay.

[ He sounds like he understands.

...nah, it's Pit. He's confused. ]

[acapriciousthing]

The short version is that I'm actually more of an idea than a person.

[She's given this spiel a... she's lost track]

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

But you sound so real... Are you a goddess?

[acapriciousthing]

No, I'm an anthropomorphic personification. Goddesses need people to believe in them. I exist whether people believe in me or not, as part of the universe itself.

[ghost_shield]

Um, nothing happened around Thanksgiving. Actually, the last really insane thing happened sometime around the shift over to the astrological sign Scorpio, I think, but that's about all I've got.

[acapriciousthing]

Astrological shifts? Well that's interesting...

[ghost_shield]

Yeah, but then nothing happened for the subsequent astrological shifts, so it might have just been a fluke.

[voice]

[greatseal]

That's one pattern I really hope doesn't start...

But they're mostly harmless?

[acapriciousthing]

I suppose it's possible that sometimes things just happen.
