Returning from a prolonged hiatus.

[beautyindeath]

Oh~ Back from the dead? And here I was beginning to worry that I would get rather bored with you~

I wonder just where it is you'll have me go. After all it has been quite sometime since I've paid a visit to the young earl, and I would like to recollect my treasure from him eventually. Though having someplace to continue to refine and work on my masterpiece would be welcomed certainly.

So what shall it be~

[crooked_tail]

What's your masterpiece?

[Konoe gave the man a curious look.]

[beautyindeath]

Seeing what can come after 'the end', if there is something grand to be seen after the credits of a life.

[crooked_tail]

The end? Do you mean the fall of the Two Cane?

[A.K.A. The end of your species and the rise of the cat-human hybrid.]

[beautyindeath]

[Sorry he isn't exactly human, though it would be interesting to see.]

I'm talking about death of course. It's boring to think that one simply dies and then that is all there is to it.

[crooked_tail]

[It is a giant fire ball of death and supposedly one human mates with a goddess in the body of a cat.]

When my kind die, it is said we move on to the next life or if we made a deal with devils or our soul holds traits preferred by them our soul is devoured by devils. Some even become devils.

[beautyindeath]

Gufu~ That sounds rather familiar. I've known a few souls that were apparently very delectable to certain devils.

[crooked_tail]

Really so they plagued even the Two Cane?

[Konoe's ears perked up a bit, a curious look appearing in his amber eyes as he gazed at the Undertaker.]

How long have they been here? They claimed to have even watched the fall of Two Cane..... I think they called them.... Human?

[beautyindeath]

They've been around for as long as reapers as far as I know. The two quite often bump heads since they get in the way of the job.

[crooked_tail]

Reapers? What are reapers?

[beautyindeath]

Those who come to collect the souls of those who have died and pass judgement on them of course. They're a stuffy boring group that have curiosity or interest in what comes next.

[crooked_tail]

So when I die there will be a Reaper coming for me? What would happen if someone were to run away?

[beautyindeath]

You'll already be dead.

[crooked_tail]

So they can not escape from the Reapers?

[beautyindeath]

I suppose they can, by having their soul devoured by a devil.

[crooked_tail]

What do Reapers look like?

[beautyindeath]

Oh they look rather different from one another, so there is no one certain way that they appear. Though there is one thing that gives them away.

If you want to know though, you'll have to pay the price~

[crooked_tail]

I'm not interested in dying. Perhaps I'll ask the Devils about this.

[beautyindeath]

Oh I don't want you die, I just want a first rate laugh. Though if you would rather have your soul devoured, then I suppose I can't stop you.

[crooked_tail]

A first rate laugh?

The ones I know can't eat me until we kill someone.

[worstbutler]

You could always drop by the soul dispatch. Things tend to get terribly boring there, especially if Will is in one of his moods.

[eyecontract]

Is that your plan?

[beautyindeath]

That is what I charge for information. If you really want to know you'll give me a good laugh.

[beautyindeath]

Oh, he's still stuffy and boring? [No surprise.]

[beautyindeath]

Who knows~

[crooked_tail]

You'd give out information like that....For a joke?

[His tail swished side to side as his ears twitched a bit. Clearly interested in what the man was saying.]

What kind of Shaman are you? [He's assuming that's what the man was since he knows of devils and spirits and even these strange Reapers.]

[eyecontract]

[When it comes to the Undertaker, it was true none of them knew.]

You seemed to be in a mood for sharing. I won't pass up the chance to listen. [And find out your plans.]

[beautyindeath]

Of course, laughter is the most important thing in the world.

I'm an undertaker.

[beautyindeath]

Oh but I haven't really shared anything that everyone doesn't already know. After all I did ask for you to hold onto it for me.

[eyecontract]

[He doesn't forget. All of the surprises in his life seemed to be connected to Reapers in one way or another and Undertaker had added a new, dangerous piece onto the board.]

The time was left vague. It would be nice to know for when to prepare the welcoming party.
