hadriel | SEVENTH SONG ♫ VIDEO

'Sup, fellow cave dwellers.

[ Oh, boy. It's that time again. Rose usually only has a tendency to show her face on the network when she's got something 'fun' to say. This isn't one of the rare exceptions to that rule either. She's grinning ear to ear, obviously quite pleased with herself. Some might recognize the backdrop as Sorrow's orchard where she's known to spend quite a lot of her time. ]

Got a gift for ya'll.

[ At this point the camera shifts focus to a plant budding in the orchard's rows. It might look familiar to some. Judging from the dumb smile on her face previously, it's certainly familiar to Rose. ]

Figured after all the fuckery that's happened lately, we could use some chill. It's not a lot but it's a start and, like, a cave has the perfect growing conditions. We're all gonna' be 4/20 blazin' it before you know. But I'll need some help making sure it's taken care of.

[ #protectthecaveweed2k17 ]

You're welcome. I accept thanks in the form of overzealous complements, singing the praises of my coolness, and testaments carved to my honor in stone. You know, the usual.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Thank you, thank you. And no, really, thanks for offering to help.

It's kind of inspiring seeing everyone get together like this.

It's my pleasure. Literally and figuratively.

Hey, we can be counted on to rally around a good idea.

Good one.

And, yeah, well. Usually, most people in this cave don't think my ideas are 'good' ones, so. This is a new thing for me.

Thank you, I thought so, too.

Yeah? Why not? I mean, I think this is genius and you offered to help me learn to fight, which I think is pretty good, too.

Eh, well, done some things that pissed a lot of people off. Thankfully, this seems to be going over well. For the most part.

People are so touchy around here. It's good that no one's given you the "just say no" bullshit.

Nah, not yet. Definitely think I scandalized at least a couple people though.

...you realize I've gotta ask who, right?

Woah, hey, I ain't gonna' name and shame! It's not everyone's cup of tea and I can respect that.

Okay, okay. I get it, I'll be good. But not too good, 'cause I still want some for myself. I've heard a lot about it, but I've never actually tried it before. [her voice trails off toward the end, like she's embarrassed]

Hey, first time for everything. I didn't try it until I was like... three hundred something so, y'know. You're still ahead of me.

--wait a second, you're three hundred something? That's cool. I mean, I know you're not a Reaper. So, how. . . [hurriedly] Only if you're okay with sharing, of course.

I'm a yokai, [ she offers, easier and easier with each person she tells. ] We're long-lived. I'll like to be a thousand or so if I'm lucky.

That's like a spirit, right? Or did I read the wrong folklore book back in high school? [George is totally unphased. she's a semi-immortal Grim Reaper, she has no room to point at the status of others. she does whistle lowly at the lifespan comment] Damn. That's impressive. I thought only Plague Reapers could last that long.

That's what some people call us. Spirits, apparitions. Most people seem to like the word 'demons.'

[ Though it's clear from the way Rose says it that she doesn't appreciate that nickname quite as much herself. ]

There are different kinds of reapers?

Nah, you're not a demon. For one thing, you're way too cute.

[aaaaand, George flushes. did she really say that out loud? she did. well, she's not lying or anything]

Oh, yeah. Tons. Natural Causes, Malignant Growths, Plague, the works. I was assigned to Murders, Accidents, and Suicides. Basically, the ones who are guaranteed to ask you to take it back.

Well, aren't you a flatterer.

[ She's getting all kinds of compliments, it seems like. ]

Yeesh. Sounds rough. Why'd you get the short end of the stick?

[George is blushing bright red]

I, well. I'm just telling the truth.

[oh? what kinds of compliments?]

I died in a stupid accident. And I mean a seriously stupid accident.

[ It's a good look on her, really. ]

You're being sweet, but thanks. I appreciate it.

[ Anyway. ]

How stupid we talking?

[mention that to her and she'll blush even more]

Oh, I. Well, no, thank you.

[yes, anyway]

...ever hear of a Russian space station called Mir?

... Can't say that I have, no.

Well, it existed. And then, they decided to decommission it 'cause something better came along. The pieces were supposed to all land in the ocean, but some of 'em wound up in Seattle. One of 'em landed directly on me. And that's how I died and got roped into the whole Reaper thing.

... Huh.

That's some unfortunate luck. I'm sorry.

So am I. I mean, I was only eighteen.

[ Rose remembers when she was eighteen. Well, when she was the equivalent of it. That was... sure a time.

She hadn't thought she'd lived from day to day for a long while, but she did. In a way, George didn't but she was still here in some form. So that's better than nothing, at least.]

Too young, but... At least you got something of a second chance, I guess? You're not just. Gone.
