[Swift is, let's be honest, not great with using this thing. It feels clunky and unnecessary, but it's what he's got to work with. Not everyone is a har, so he'll learn to live with it. Maybe eventually he'll even get good at it.

As it is for now, when the video starts he's glaring at the screen and it catches the tail end of a curse before he schools his face into a more neutral, perhaps diplomatic, expression.]

As I understand it, Seel har Parasiel has been here for quite some time...alone, let's say. [Unsupervised. He means unsupervised. He hasn't had a proper babysitter.] I would like to take a moment to apologize personally if he's been incorrigible or stubborn or plain mean. I don't know all of what he said to everyone, but I'm hoping it won't be a problem for much longer. [It will still be a problem for a while until Seel gets used to having Swift around again, and he knows that. He's at least prepared for it. This by itself is going to cause a fight.]

If you are having problems with him, please don't hesitate to contact me and I'll make sure it's taken care of. Once again, I am very sorry and I'll do my best to make sure it doesn't happen again.

I'm not a fighter, so giving orders, I suppose.

[toiletseat_girl]

Yeah? We probably could've used some order when the Null attacked 'cause from what I've heard, it was a clusterfuck out there. I work at the clinic, so I wasn't out in the fighting.

[swiftlet]

It requires that people are willing to listen.

[toiletseat_girl]

Yeahhhhh, that might be rough. 'Cause most people here don't like being told what to do.

[swiftlet]

I figured.

[toiletseat_girl]

You figured right. I don't know what is it about this place 'cause it seems to attract the stubborn.

[swiftlet]

They live longer, I imagine.

[toiletseat_girl]

Not necessarily. I mean, have your heard about this place's death policy?

[swiftlet]

Some. But I'm not certain I approve.

[toiletseat_girl]

Of which part? The coming back a few days later, no harm, no foul? Or the no punishment of the killer part?

[swiftlet]

Any of it.

[toiletseat_girl]

It is really weird. Both parts of it. I'm used to death being a lot more final. Usually.

[swiftlet]

I'm sure most people are.

[toiletseat_girl]

Not necessarily.

[swiftlet]

What makes you say that?

[toiletseat_girl]

Where I'm from, sometimes you die and get drafted into becoming a Grim Reaper.

[swiftlet]

What is that, exactly?

[toiletseat_girl]

It's a supernatural being that has to take the souls of dead people when they die and send them on to the afterlife. And. I am one of them.

[swiftlet]

I see. I'm guessing you didn't choose that.

[toiletseat_girl]

[bitter laughter]

Not even close. I was drafted.

[swiftlet]

I'm sorry.

[toiletseat_girl]

Thanks. So am I. Bad enough to die, but then have to help other people die and stay away from my family? The whole thing sucked.

[swiftlet]

It sounds it.

[toiletseat_girl]

Then, I get sucked here and that was a whole new barrel of fun.

[swiftlet]

So I've heard.
