☠ LXXIV

What is the meaning of this, City?! I thought we had a rather decent working relationship! I thought we could make this work! I thought we were beautiful together!

Why did you pass over a Death God as a passenger on that marvelous train? I could have enjoyed a wonderful vacation- even done some work on the side, William would have been so

Grell!

[Road was doing mostly the same thing and enjoying herself...until Lulu Bell was killed too. This is probably the only time he's ever seen her in tears, though they are involuntary.]

[GASPING- the sight of his darling in tears is TOO MUCH FOR A FATHER/MOTHER]

[deathbutler]

Road, dear- ! There, there...

[maternal instincts: flooding]

[dreamsofnoah]

They killed Lulu.

[Not sad, she sounds more angry than anything, even if she's containing it.]

Eello? Did ja hear what happened to Lulu???!!!

[valentineluke]

Your timing couldn't be worse.

[deathbutler]

I'm sorry- did I ask any questions about the time?

[valentineluke]

If I arrange to have some dwarf rabbits delivered for Len-Len, will you make a game of it with Road in pretending they're the Deities?

(Private)

[deathbutler]

What kind of man do you take me for?! I will not kill defenseless rabbits!

[cleanupaisle3]

Man you talk too much. Come in and clean this up yourself.

[deathbutler]

As if I were some sort of servant?

I think not, sir.

[cleanupaisle3]

It's my job but do you gotta brag about the mess you make too?

[deathbutler]

... Just a mite.

[cold_dry_pieces]

They won't let you on without a ticket?

[deathbutler]

Well, I mean- I suppose I could go down there and try, but...

It sort of ruins the magic, you know? Of waking up, chosen for such a thing...

[cold_dry_pieces]

Doesn't not going count as... I don't know, skipping work or something?

[deathbutler]

Not if it's not in the book!

[hidesinrestroom]

... I would be pissed off if you were the one who harmed Maria.

[deathbutler]

Except I wasn't~ Besides- a death god isn't even on that train, see? Not in my book.

[hidesinrestroom]

Which I'm glad for.

[deathbutler]

You might not ought to be- it would have been a more proper death if she was slated for it.
