.001 | All the important questions

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!

[video] you get two of mine just because

Mr. Spears? I knew Mr. Spears! It was quite nice talking to a fellow reaper for a while, though I suppose it's better that he's back home and back to his job. Our work never ends, after all!

[Okay wow is this chick saying she's also a reaper what is even going on.]

Needless to say, he's not here, but now you are! Hi!

video; yes good and god I remember when I first posted as this guy

[hardknoxlife]

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?

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!

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.

[styxiedust]

Well, all the ferry women are...women, so we wouldn't have even been aware that there are male reapers!

[And...not all of them are as friendly as her, Botan's kinda unique in that regard.]

Why thank you, Mr. Knox, I do try to be as friendly as possible. Life's enough of a hard run as it is, don't need to make it harder for folks.

I should prolly think about requesting a transfer when I get back now.

[ And somewhere in an AU'd fanfic far far away... ]

You're alright, Botan, you really are. A right port in the storm. How's this world been treating you, by the way?

[styxiedust]

Oh, just fine! I've been in this place for about a year now, and I've got a friend from my world here, so I'm not alone. I opened up a sweets shop as well, I'm actually quite good at making them--you should stop by! We're based in Goldenrod City.

[diehardreaper]

Well, if you lot've managed a whole year without going barmy... then maybe this isn't such a bad place after all.

[ But have a well meaning grin. ]

I'll be sure to give that a butchers once I get to Goldenrod. We're en route to meeting up with an acquaintance of ours to head there even as we speak.
