I know these feeling are dangerous, but it's no use denying anymore. I've tried.

	Okay... but... why do you do that? Wait, that's too existential. I mean, are there more like you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	We are seven. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hardly. We each have our own realm of expertise, so to speak. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Some of them do. Death is present at every birth, and every passing. Delirium...well. If you've ever known someone who was just a little bit mad, then you have seen her fingerprints. Destruction abdicated his position about the time you lot learned how to split the atom, but Desire and Despair often go hand in hand.

Desire is quite literally fond of meddling in other peoples affairs. Including mine.

	And ~~Death~~ they, what... watch or something? Escort? Meddling how? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	metamorpheus 2011-12-09 05:06 pm UTC (link)
	Destiny is blind, but sees all, yes. And I should think you already know how my sister, Death, carries out her duties. Desire sees people and their ever changing and oh-so malleable wants as objects for his or her own amusement. My brother-sister would be in their element just now, if they are not already hard at play. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Death is a woman? Not sure I'm the one to say how she does it, considering. So do you think that's why you're having a "woe that I love a mortal" moment? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	metamorpheus 2011-12-09 06:13 pm UTC (link)
	She tends to appear female, and identifies herself in the feminine, yes. It usually is. Desire and I have never gotten along well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What does she look like? Surely a guy who pops through people's dreams encounters a lot of heated stuff in them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	metamorpheus 2011-12-09 08:43 pm UTC (link)
	Youthful. Pale. Dark hair and eyes. Some might describe her as "perky goth." People do tend to dream about that which they desire. However, I am not the one who sired a child upon a comatose woman, and then later tried to trick my brother into killing his own kin. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	~~NO WAY~~ Right. Okay. Wait, what? Your sibling did that? That is NOT right. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	metamorpheus 2011-12-09 10:12 pm UTC (link)
	Desire did that. Among other things. They are full of themselves. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	So, that's extremely messed up. Is that normal for you ~~people~~ beings? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	metamorpheus 2011-12-09 10:32 pm UTC (link)
	No. We are supposed to keep the balance, not play havoc with it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I guess "Mischief" would mess up the D-thing you have going. So this perky goth sister of yours. What does she do when she's around? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	metamorpheus 2011-12-09 10:44 pm UTC (link)
	As would "Selfishness." Sister Death visits those whose time has come to pass on. She witnesses the birth of each new life. She feeds pigeons in the park. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah, I can't think of a D-word for that. What the hell does that mean for me, then? I get the nagging feeling I've seen her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You wouldn't be the first man to have seen her and lived to tell about it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private to Dream timeaftertime 2011-12-09 11:06 pm UTC (link)
	Did I see her? If you've been seeing my dreams and nightmares, I guess you'd be able to recognize if your own sister showed up in them. Who else has? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I believe she was there for your first time. Dying, that is.

There is a man named Hob, who decided he was going to live forever. My sister agreed to let him try it, and I meet him every hundred years or so, to see if he is ready to die. He happens to be one of my oldest friends. But several residents of this city have also met an aspect of Death, and been returned to us afterward.

	Uh... Wow. Okay. Is Hob touched by Delirium or something? What does "an aspect of Death" mean? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
