Fancy that. It does work! Will wonders never cease. Bit of fancy metal... never thought'd be really what they told us, eh?

[ So have this guy staring around this here Gear thingamabob. ]

Right, so... this lady what claims to be my mum said this'd be some sort of communication device so figured I'd give it a go. Bit of a question for you lot.. hang on. C'mere you-- [ And he's reaching off with one arm to tug a Duskull closer to him. ]

How d'you know if this little blighter's a boy or a girl? Couldn't really decide on a right name for it yet.

[ Oddly enough, the Duskull seems happy for the attention and actually waves to the camera. ]

And one more thing. Are any of you lot familiar with the name William T. Spears or Grell Sutcliffe? If you are, d'you mind passing on word that I've gotten here?

The name's Ronald Knox of London's Grim Reaper Dispatch Department, by the way. Thanks!

And hullo t'you too, Miracle.

[ Well, that's them off to a good start. ]

Listen, you wouldn't know how to get to a little town called London, would you? Or at least prolly point a bloke in the right direction?

Looks like the more appropriate question prolly would've been what didn't he do, eh? Even our boss has had it up to his ears with Mister Sutcliffe's shenanigans, I'll tell you what.

[ Have a bit of a sheepish grin from that. ]

He's just a different sort, that's all so... apologies all around on behalf of the department since Mister Spears isn't here to do it for him.

Cor, I'll give you that... always good to have someone with something familiar round, I'll tell you. There was a bloke I spoke with a while ago who's actually a familiar face.

[ And yes, the boy latches on pretty quickly. ]

Explanations are fine. The only thing that's out of the question are the how's and why's. Can't change the course of someone's death and all that. S'just not how the world works. You sound like a sharp one. Wager you've prolly heard the fairy tales about Death and all? The bloke with the scythe and the cloak?

That I am, miss. Course, I'm prolly out of the way of my department's territory...

[ And a pause from that. ]

Ah, right... Mum said something about that but there was a bit of a rush so she shuffled me along before I could say anything else. I'll give that a bit of a go, see what we get.

What's your name by the way, sweetheart?

[ Ronald no she's younger than you??? ]

S'that right? Could hazard a guess you're prolly not from our department yet. M'sure I would've remembered the name of a cute bird like yourself.

[ Yes good in the company of fellow reapers. He's feeling more at home already. ]

There's Misters Spears and Sutcliffe who I've both apparently missed, then. That's a bit of a jam now, isn't it?

Don't got a motherfuckin' clue, dude.

Bugger. Can't fault you for not knowing though.

[ Let's try another way of phrasing it. ]

How about the chance of getting a bloke back to where he was before all this?

Yeah, London's far away from here.

[A pause, she stares.

Stares for a long time.

Yeah, Ronald, try about sixteen.

But the only reason it strikes her as weird that he called her sweetheart was because it's something her grandparents would say to her, not because she thinks he's flirting with her. Haha, who would even do that?]

Maka Albarn. Not that it matters here, but I'm a two star Demon Scythe Meister serving under Lord Death at the Death Weapon Meister Academy.

[That enough death for you in one sentence.]

I'm not, no. My department is the Spirit World situated in East Asia, largely Japan. I've been to London several times, though, it's quite a lovely place.

[As if the light British accent didn't give that away.]

My name is Botan, Chief Ferry Woman of the River Styx! Your coworkers might not be here, but in the meantime you can make some friends if you want!

Really? Cor, that'd be great! We really need a knife thrower!

[Dagger is... still not here, after all, but Joker tries not to let himself think too hard on that.]

Mum? Oh no, don't think she does. They don't look too kindly on weapons 'round here anyway... Although I think I could fix ya up with some if ya don't mind a bit o' improvisation.

That might explain some things, actually.

[He vaguely remembers hearing that Grell worked for some organization or department or something, but not any specifics. Not like that really matters since Cobra's well...being as obnoxious as humanly possible right now.]

Apology accepted! But it is long overdue! Ridiculousssssly overdue, in fact!

How do you figure?

The locals can be pretty eccentric, I suppose. I guess you'll see for yourself the more you just wander around.

Ah, blimey... I've had that knife ever since I was a kid.

[ Don't worry, Joker. He'll either make you miss Dagger more or miss him less.

Though his initial disappointment in losing his knife is gone. ]

Well, best not to dwell on it but it'd better be back in the pocket I left it in once they send us home, eh? But sure, mate. Set me up and we'll see if you fancy what you see.

[ Sorry Cobra but the hissing and the hissy fit is removing any and all intimidation Ron may have had to start. Now he's just amused. ]

Wager so if you said I've missed him by a few years!

By the by... haven't caught a name from you yet, mate.

S'not somewhere a bloke could prolly walk to, I'd wager?

[ Hey, he just likes treating girls special okay it's a thing. ]

Pleasantries all around though, Miss Albarn! This isn't your territory to reap in though too, eh?

Cor, the Japanese branch! Can't say I've met anyone from there but if they're as warm as you are, m'sure they're a fine lot.

[ He doesn't seem too bothered by them not being here, tbh. ]

Oh believe me, I've every intention of considering this as a bit of a holiday given the circumstances of my last mission being absolutely beastly. As for making friends... you're a fine start, if you want my opinion.

Fingers crossed!

We're all settled in at Goldenrod City, but there's nothin' planned 'til next month! I'll be sure ta have someone fly and pick ya up if yer in one of the cities if that's what ya would like. Sure cuts down on the trip.

You may addressssss me as Cobra Commander.

[He is completely serious about this.]

Ah, really? I'd say that's good to hear, but that's only good in certain specific cases.

[And he'll leave it at that.]

Ah, no, I think I'm following you. I wasn't thinking it was quite so literal, of course --- it sounded more like some sort of group of assassins or other.

So, do you work for him, or is he more of a metaphorical representation of what you do? I'd generally assume the latter, but you really never know in this place.

[She shrugs, well of course she's formal, it's natural to be formal with someone you just met.]

I'm not a reaper, I just work for one. I gather up corrupted souls so they don't harm people, but...no, I can't do that here. None of us have our powers here and for people like you that weren't human in the first place, you're human now.

[...]

And you don't have to call me "miss," just Maka is fine.

[ oh— oh he thinks he's got this one. he peers a tad to the background behind ronald, lets the pause stretch for a moment longer, then finally: ]

See that lil' hive over there? The one with that mom-thing—

[ he seems pretty satisfied— little does he get that ronald ment before everything happened while gamzee's thinking lol before this conversation ]

Think that's where you were at, dogg. Alls you gotta do is be walkin' on over there and you're back.

[ lol gamzee no . . . ]

That will have to be one more thing I will have to keep an eye out for while Grim and I make our rounds.

I figure we will be in for quite the trip.
