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]

Well, Vlad said we were half-ghosts. But I don't think he actually knows for certain. Also, he's a fruitloop. And I met a ghost once who called me a halfa, but I think that might have just been an insult. Or some kind of weird 50's slang.

[acapriciousthing]

It's got a certain 50s vibe.

Usually mortals are the ones who make the words up. You do seem to be somewhere in between though. Do you like half-ghost?

[schrodingersghost]

[Danny waves that off.]

Eh, the only time I heard that name was in a part of the ghost zone that was permanently trapped in a high school from the 50's. Talk about an eternal nightmare.

[He shrugs.]

I guess it works? Its something, and its not an insult like most of the other things people call me.

[It was a little better than ghost kid. And much better than Inviso-Bill.]

[acapriciousthing]

High school or the fifties?

[She's pretty sure Dream has designed nightmares around both]

If it works, why overcomplicate things?

[schrodingersghost]

Probably both, to be honest. I can't think of a worst place to be stuck for eternity.

[A shrug.]

I guess I was just curious. It works, but I'm not sure if its right, if that makes sense?

[acapriciousthing]

Is that because you're the first person like you in your world?

[That would at least explain why he doesn't have a word]

[schrodingersghost]

Second, technically. But I don't trust the first. Like, at all. I'm pretty sure at least half of what he's told me is either a lie or him trying to manipulate me. So, there's that.

[acapriciousthing]

So you don't need to worry about what he thinks.

[If he even knows]

The thing about being the first or even the second of something is that you get to decide what that means.

[schrodingersghost]

Well, fair. I guess. But it also means I have to figure out what the heck I am in the first place.

[And it wasn't like there was a test you could take to figure out what percentage of dead you were. ]

[acapriciousthing]

Even a mortal that doesn't have ghostly complications feels like that sometimes. That's how you know you're alive.

[schrodingersghost]

So.... if a ghost felt like that, would they mean they feel alive too?

[acapriciousthing]

It would be a good reminder, if nothing else. It might even be helpful to remember.

[schrodingersghost]

Huh. I guess I have some questions to ask the ghosts I actually get along with when I get home.

[Although he'd probably just end up with more questions. Most of the ghosts who didn't want to destroy him seemed to get a lot of entertainment out of being as cryptic as possible.]

[acapriciousthing]

Maybe they'll learn something too.

[Sometimes you just exist and don't think about these things]
