07: Searching

[undertaking4u]

According to this ~map~, there are some ~caves~ along the coast...
If the ~bodies~ are being tossed into the ~ocean~, they'd probably end up ~there~.
Either ~that~, or they are being ~buried~ in the ~forest~. Must check to see if any soil has been disturbed there.

On a ~happier~ note, I have received my first official ~commission~ since my arrival. I

I would advise against exploring the caves. I saw no corpses last time I was in them, though quite a few people nearly became such.

[ooc: I would totally send Atem if he didn't hate the caves with the passion of a thousand suns. XD]

[undertaking4u]

But the bodies ~must~ be going ~somewhere~, and ~that~ is where the tide would take them. You do not need to ~worry~, I shall be ~careful~.

[draw_a_card]

There are no bodies.

Besides, even if there were, wouldn't they be beyond salvageable by this point?

[undertaking4u]

I will have to search the ~whole island~ before I believe ~that~.

And I have ~reassembled~ worse. ~All~ bodies deserve a ~dignified~ burial. What kind of undertaker would I be if I let a little ~decomposition~ stand in the way of my ~solemn duty~?

[dark_steps]

The caves are a horrible place, and there aren't any corpses there, promise. You'd be better off staying away.

[undertaking4u]

~The lady doth protest too much~, methinks. Perhaps there is something ~hidden~ there?

[dark_steps]

I'm just worried! I don't want you to get hurt... And no one's died here, so there aren't any corpses. The only thing 'hidden' there is rocks and sea water.

[undertaking4u]

I shall be ~careful~. And if something ~does~ happen to me, I already have a ~coffin~ prepared and a plot of land ~preselected~ for my grave site.

[undertaking4u]

I will ~find my way~. This is ~not~ the most dangerous situation I have found myself in. If someone wishes to ~accompany~ me, I would ~allow~ it, but I think it would be ~more~ dangerous for more than one person to go if that person was not ~prepared~.

((OOC: aka Yuugi doesn't stand a ~ghost~ of a chance!
...sry, couldn't help it.))

[undertaking4u]

But I have told you ~where~ I am going. If I do not come back, you will ~know~ where to look...

I do not mind searching ~alone~, but I ~must~ find what is missing.

(( XD ))

[aceupthesleeve]

... is Stan-chan planning on dying sometime soon?

[undertaking4u]

Not that ~I~ have heard, but a ~king~ should be prepared for ~any~ possibility.

[aceupthesleeve]

I don't understand how he'd actually be okay with getting his coffin measured out for him while he's still alive.

It's kinda creepy.

[undertaking4u]

~Conan-kun~ didn't mind...

Is it not ~worth~ some momentary discomfort to have a ~well-fitting~ coffin?

[frozen_railroad]

Y'know, you are an incredibly morbid person. Something happen to you when you were a kid?

[undertaking4u]

~Lots~ of things ~happened~ in my childhood...do you mean ~bad~ things in particular?

[frozen_railroad]

Well, bad things tend to influence weird habits more than good things.

[undertaking4u]

Tending to bodies is not a ~weird habit~. It is my ~job~.
