[ YOU ALL REALLY SAID (haru voice) LEAVE HOSPITAL GRAMPA... he can stop by the cemetery after visiting the church, since at least those two are pretty close together... though ngl he would just soldier onto the dark chao garden if needed.

he gives her a nod in return, and a lopsided smile. ]


It depends. Is there any to be found here?

If you lie down in an open grave, hardly anyone will think to look.

[ which is to say she won't tell if he wants to hide in the dirt, ]

[ he immediately looks around, as if seeking out an open grave. ]

Given my age, I believe at least one or two may try. [ haha. his terrible old man jokes. ] But it is a good suggestion, regardless.

[ curiously, ] Does this place remind you of home?

[ finding a nun in a church, and then a goth in a cemetery... the math is mathing ]

Sometimes. Our family cemetery wasn't anywhere near a church, of course, but I've always enjoyed crashing funerals. Open caskets were my favorite.

[ she says this like that's normal. ]

Though this place is nothing but aesthetics. I do miss the corpses.

[ girl... ]

If I climbed into an open grave and lay very still, perhaps it would benefit us both.

[ he can have his respite, and mary can have her corpse... ]
murderofwoes: (there is a crack run)

Don't be absurd. Your beating heart would ruin the picture.

Even if you covered your ears? ...If I fell asleep it would slow enough not to be too disruptive, no?
murderofwoes: (when they're not polite)

The issue isn't the illusion, it's the knowledge of it.

Ah, I suppose so...

[ a bit more seriously, ]

May I ask what lead you to heaven, Miss Mary? And, if you have plans to return back home?
murderofwoes: (they're creepy and they're kooky)

I received a job offer. Someone high up thought I'd be helpful in this position.

[ she looks down at the graves again ]

Once it's over, I'll be going back and updating my resume.

[ that all sounds rather industrious, for someone who looks to be rather young. ]

And how are you finding your employment? Underwhelming set dressing, aside.

[ he looks down at the graves, too, and thinks that the chill here is odd albeit in character. ]

What sort of career do you hope for?
murderofwoes: (there are 10 000 roads to run away)

[personal profile] murderofwoes 2025-03-03 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
I've had more interesting coworkers, but the job isn't too terrible.

[ as for careers, well! ]

Nothing that actually requires a resume. But the satisfaction that I'm more qualified than my peers is often enough.

[ THIS DUNK ON THE OTHER ANGELS... JING YUAN ALMOST FEELS BAD BUT ALSO KIND OF WANTS TO LAUGH. ]

Truly? More interesting than, say, an indestructible woman of the cloth, with firearms? Or a genius programmer who can influence metaphysics?

[ ...unsure if 'metaphysics' is the word i mean to use. EITHER WAY it sounds so insane to say it like that, but he is being literal.

anyway, he smiles. ]


...The best challenges are not usually found behind standardized paperwork. Given the choice, I would choose a path that does not require a resume, either.
murderofwoes: (let me be here with you tonight)

[personal profile] murderofwoes 2025-03-03 06:52 am (UTC)(link)
I didn't say they were without their quirks. Though I don't believe someone having special powers necessarily makes them interesting. I suppose I'll give them that they're certainly better at their jobs compared to others I've dealt with.

[ she nods at that, though; ]

I heard you were a General? Was that by choice or happenstance?

[personal profile] lightning 2025-03-06 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
[ he hums softly, mulling over that. ]

I see. What sort of coworkers suit you best?

[ ... ]

You could say a bit of both. It was not what I set out to be, however it is where my path ultimately lead me. And it is a choice, in that such commitment should not be taken lightly.

[ he smiles though, because it doesn't bother him. ] ...Heaven has been a bit of a fantastical vacation, if I'm to be honest. Certain complications aside.

[ MINUS THE MURDER! YEA! ]
murderofwoes: (i have to turn my head)

[personal profile] murderofwoes 2025-03-06 07:41 am (UTC)(link)
I work best alone.

[ why is she like this. anyway; ]

So you chose the life of a General and are committed to it, but you're still enjoying not having to be one. Minus the murder of singing demons.

[ she can do whatever she wants 🥺 jy nods along, this all tracks... (she was just doing her own thing on wednesday huh... speaking of did u kno there's a chara in gbf named friday, and on fridays (jst) she gets a buff to her stats which is actually taken advantage of in certain raids... that's how i imagine wednesday.) ]

...Correct on all counts. Though I would not exactly call my life uneventful... It has been rather predictable, for the vast majority of the past amber era.

Not so, now.
murderofwoes: (i want them to turn black)

[personal profile] murderofwoes 2025-03-08 07:13 am (UTC)(link)
[ you are absolutely right that's how it go for her ]

Like the adage. "War never changes". I suppose the same can't be said of the beyond.
