[He is like a caged beast, moving restlessly indoors while the wind howls at his doors and windows. Anakin has never done well alone, but he's afraid to live with anyone.]

How can anyone stand this planet? [Gripping his mechno-hand into a tight fist, he breathes deeply, trying to calm the anger he feels almost constantly.] What needs to be done? I'm strong; I'm powerful - I can help.

[Anything is better than being stuck with his memories.]

I'm Anakin Skywalker, by the way, and I think I've been here before.

People find ways to adapt. I can keep myself warm by remaining active. [He lifts his mechno-arm.] Part of me isn't even flesh.

Well, technically I'm not a person, so I'm cool. Literally. [and she chuckles to herself like she just made the world's funniest joke. and she raises an eyebrow at the mechno-arm] Huh. Never seen anything like that before.

How does that work? [Seriously. What even, George?] The mechanical work is of my own make. [He takes off the glove to show the metal fingers.]

I'm a Grim Reaper. Someone who takes the souls of people about to die. So I'm not a person. [so technically no, she's not a person. she's undead, but not in a creepy zombie way. and she eyes the metal fingers curiously] Pret-ty sure they can't do that where I'm from.

[He tenses, glowering at her.] I'd rather you stay away from my family.

[He has set himself against death in general. They have to live. They have to be happy.]

There might not be much use for it and that's good. I lost my arm in a duel.

[this doesn't bother her in the slightest because] I would rather I stayed away from your family. I fucking hated Reaping. I'm glad I don't have to do it anymore.

[and now she works at the Clinic, kind of the polar opposite from Reaping]

Oh. Damn. I'm sorry?

[prophesiedone]

You don't have something philosophical to say about death? [He is shocked. Shocked!]

He didn't live very long after. I guess that means I had my revenge.

video

[toiletseat_girl]

No, not really. Other than it at least looks like people are going to happy places when they go. What happens after that, though? No idea. [what comes next is a complete mystery to Reapers as they don't get to find out. not for a long, long time]

Oh. Well, that works.

[prophesiedone]

All people? Even the ones that do heinous things in life? [The Force should be a place to rest, he knows, but it's hard to imagine creatures like Sidious going somewhere good for eternity.]

It was disgusting.

Rube--my old boss--told me that it's not for us to judge. Which I assume means they get judged after the sparkly lights.

...I'm not sure which part you're meaning here, the revenge or the death?

video

[prophesiedone]

You're just the transport. [So he can happily go back to imagining those like Sidious or Dooku suffering in some sort of fiery hell.]

The death. I had never beheaded anyone before that.

video

[toiletseat_girl]

Pretty much, yeah. [go right ahead and imagine that. with names like "Sidious" and "Dooku" (Dooku? really? who names their kid that? or chooses of their own free will to be called that?) they couldn't have been up to any good]

Oh. Yeah, that's a bad way to go. Not at all as neat and clean as it looks in the movies.
