Turns out there are still a couple surprises left...

[bread_goes_bip]

Who: Death and Death
What: Daisies. Confusing, confusing daisies.
Where: 307 Miller
When: Febuary 14th
Warnings: Very confused anthropomorphics. I... really don't see more intense warnings being a thing. :p



Even though she doesn't need to eat any more, Death still very much likes to. Almost as much as she likes to cook. She's already made cupcakes for roughly half the town, so naturally she's starting the day off by making heart shaped pancakes. It would be easier to shape them if she could still shape the fabric of reality.

At some point a vase full of daisies appeared on the table, but she isn't paying much attention to it yet.

Death meanwhile is still examining the flowers.

I WONDER WHERE THEY CAME FROM.

[bread_goes_bip]

Death picks one up to examine it more closely. "The town, I guess?" That should probably concern her, but she can't seem to bring herself to think it through.

[likescats]

PERHAPS.

IT DOES SEEM TO BE A HOLIDAY.

And he straightens up, about to say something else when he looks over at her examining the flower.

And suddenly doesn't remember what he was going to say.

[bread_goes_bip]

"Valentine's Day. It's all about l-love." That word... she's said it so many times. For family, for friends, for those who came her way... she'd never really thought about it before though.

[likescats]

YES...LOVE.

He's suddenly reminded of the many times War's asked him in the past if he'd ever given much thought to settling down. All the other times it had been like asking a brick wall if it were going to get married. Now he's suddenly starting to think he might have a faint idea of what he was being asked about.

[bread_goes_bip]

Death is suddenly very aware that this body... has a heart. That is fluttering in a very strange way. She hasn't noticed it like this since... that last time she was mortal. She would have noticed by now if the town had given her a body with that problem, wouldn't she? "It's a wonderful thing, isn't it?"

[likescats]

I-

He stops short of saying, he wouldn't know.

....IT SEEMS QUITE POPULAR.

[bread_goes_bip]

She smiles at him. "It does seem to make people happy."

[likescats]

YES....VERY.

For some reason the fact that she's smiling at him makes him feel a little lighter.

[bread_goes_bip]

"I guess... there's something to be said for that." She's never really thought much on the matter. She's not sure why she is now.

[likescats]

YES...

And awkward moment of quiet as he's trying to understand why he has the sudden inclination to think abut the topic. Human emotions had fascinated him before, but this was different....somehow.

[bread_goes_bip]

"I guess I never really... thought about it. Except in a general sort of way." It was definitely something that happened to, well, people. She's losing control of her appearance a bit, as a slight blush creeps in.

[likescats]

YES. I DON'T THINK I REALLY...UNDERSTOOD THE CONCEPT. THOUGH I MUST HAVE A LITTLE. HOPING YSABELL WOULD TAKE A FANCY TO THAT YOUNG MAN.

Death, the matchmaker.

[bread_goes_bip]

Death giggles a bit at the thought of him matchmaking. "I was happy for Orpheus and Eurydice, I've met lots of happy couple. But that was, well, them."

[likescats]

YOU TEND TO SEE A FEW OVER THE YEARS.

WAR SEEMS TO ENJOY MARRIED LIFE.

Though that is rather hard to tell with War.

[bread_goes_bip]

"And this... this imitation has been... nice." What is she even saying. "For whatever that's worth."

A schoolgirl. She sounds like a schoolgirl.

[likescats]

QUITE A LOT.

I MEAN. YES, YES IT HAS BEEN.

Did he say that too quickly? What was he saying that first bit for? A simple yes would have done nicely. This is getting even more confusing.

[bread_goes_bip]

"You really mean that first bit?" Suddenly, it's very important. She's not sure what she'll do if the answers now. To something she'd never even thought about before.

[likescats]

OF COURSE.

And now he's wondering why he said that so quickly. And why he needs to add.

VERY MUCH.

[bread_goes_bip]

And because today is apparently the day of impulsively doing things and not being sure why, her response to that is to step over and hug him. Because that's what you do with a giant skeleton. "I'm so glad! It... means a lot."

Why? She's still not sure but it does.

[likescats]

And it means a lot that she thinks it means a lot. Though he's gotten a bit lost as to the reason behind that. But what do, hugs? Er... skeletal hug back?

I'M...GLAD AS WELL.

[bread_goes_bip]

She's just going to... hold the rather awkward position for now. Skeleton hugging. It's a thing now.

"I... just never really thought about it, before. I don't know, I've never really... I mean, I loved my family, but this is.. it's different. Good different, I think. I'm babbling."

[likescats]

Yes. It is.

IT'S...CONFUSING.

Death, always cut's to the chase of things.

[bread_goes_bip]

Ten billion years old and confused by her own emotions. "But... I think I like being confused. With you."

[likescats]

YES. IT'S...RATHER NICE.

FOR CONFUSION.

[bread_goes_bip]

"If I have to be confused with anyone, I'm glad it's you." She still hasn't moved. Leaning against his rib cage seems to be more comfortable than one would expect.

[likescats]

Apparently so. He hasn't said anything about it either.

MAYBE WE CAN FIGURE IT OUT. ...TOGETHER THEN.

[bread_goes_bip]

"That... sounds pretty good, doesn't it?" She can't help thinking that she could definitely get used to it. Get used to a lot of things.

[likescats]

YES....IT DOES.

[bread_goes_bip]

"It's... never really been a word I've needed to use. Not like this, anyway." Together. The two of them.

[likescats]

NO... NEITHER HAVE I.

Well it makes...sense in a way....ish...

[bread_goes_bip]

Death giggles. "What a pair we make." So confused by feelings. At their ages.

[likescats]

YES...I SUPPOSE WE ARE A PAIR....AREN'T WE?

[bread_goes_bip]

"I... guess we are. I have to admit I never expected that to happen." Not to her. She's Death for crying out loud. How would that even work?

Well. With anyone else.

[likescats]

I DON'T BELIEVE I'VE EVER THOUGHT ABOUT IT.

[bread_goes_bip]

"Me neither. Ten billion years and it just... never occurred to me." Until now, of all times, of all places.

[likescats]

I'M NOT SURE IF I COULD.
