Llama Day 20- Video

[acapriciousthing]

For those of you who were busy during Della's get to know you session, I'm Death. Not a god thereof, just... Death.

Apparently it's not always common but life also falls under my domain. And Entrapta tells me there are a surprising number of people with soul location issues.

I might be able to help, if you're willing to talk to me about it. I'll be in the rock garden if you want to talk about it.

[Feel free to action on over to the gardens to discuss the matter in a less public venue]

Ah...soul issues? I think I might.

[ It's not long before a blonde teenager in the purple uniform appears, a small hedgehog with green and pink leaves riding on her shoulder. ]

Hello, Ms. Death. My name is Mami, and I'm a lich...you know that term, right?

[She nods. They don't often look like this but... she's hardly one to comment on expected appearance]

I do, yes. I've seen a few different variations on the idea in my time.

[magicurls]

Ah, all right then.

{ She nervously fidgets, twisting a silver ring with a small embedded yellow stone on her finger. ]

I was...tricked into making a contract to gain magical power, I actually didn't know that I'd become a lich until recently. I use this power to protect everyone, but if I ever falter, there's a chance I'll lose control of it and hurt people. We have a plan to stop that if it happens, but it...obviously wouldn't be ideal.

[Death nods]

I don't think anyone would want it to come to that.

[And then she thinks more about the first part]

They didn't tell you.

[And humans often know so little of souls, they might not know]

[magicurls]

They didn't.

[ She looks worried. ]

My...leader, Kyubey. He found me while I was dying after a car accident, and he said he could grant me any wish, I'd just have to become a magical girl and do battle. I wished to stay alive. I...didn't, not quite, but it was all so seamless that I didn't know.

[acapriciousthing]

I can understand not asking a lot of questions right then.

[It's the most normal thing in the world to want to keep living. She knows that.]

I've heard about some people having their abilities tied to an object with the soul.

[A more complicated fix, but something to work on]

[magicurls]

I wish I had.

[ Little guilty look. ]

And that's me. I have to be very careful, but my ability is in short supply on the train. We need more healers all the time...so I don't want to do anything to disrupt that.

It's all about weighing the risks.

[acapriciousthing]

A lot of people aren't thinking straight right after they die, so I don't think it's any better right before.

[She can't quite reproduce the feeling of not knowing it's coming though]

Your healing abilities... they burn up your self?

[magicurls]

I guess that's true.

And they do...but I have a partner who helps restore my soul.

[ Cue the tiny green and white hedgehog running down her arm to say hello. ]

As long as she's with me and not too tired, everything's all right. I just need to pace myself whenever possible.

[acapriciousthing]

[Death smiles]

Well aren't you the cutest little thing?

[She likes cute things, what of it?]

That happens with almost any power source. BUt there might be value in finding another way, if you want it.
