Let me guess, we're not sisters?

Girls, please tell me you're both in the mood to cause some trouble.

	[Iris hasn't wanted to leave the hotel and had eventually gone back through the door. Death's back in the "apartment" she had as Emily, which is actually a vacant office in an abandoned office building. There's at least a torn-up couch that she's found and curled up on.] [...] We're not. Does that mean I can't ask how you are? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	You can ask. I don't think I'm inclined to answer, but you can ask. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Selina K/"Em" soundofwings 2014-03-17 03:55 pm UTC (link)
	I'll ask then. How are you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Selina K/"Em" spacecowboys 2014-03-17 04:06 pm UTC (link)
	I've been better. Apparently everything I know is a lie. So, do you feel like telling me who you really are, or are we going to wait for the great reveal? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I had that realization earlier. It wasn't pleasant. [...] ~~Ah.~~ You're still getting bits and pieces of things? [Might as well be honest. What more is it going to hurt?] I'm Death. You can keep calling me Em if it's easier. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No, I have people telling me things. I'm not getting anything. [Cursor blink.] Death. Capital D. Well, that's unexpected. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Selina K/"Em" soundofwings 2014-03-17 04:21 pm UTC (link)
	That almost sounds worse than having everything come rushing back. I'm sorry. [...] Capital D. Not so much as I once was, if that helps any. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, I can handle it. I think I've decided that I'm resilient. Can a person be just a little Death? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Selina K/"Em" soundofwings 2014-03-17 05:11 pm UTC (link)
	I think you might be, yes. I would support that decision. I didn't think so before, but things have changed. I'm not exactly sure if there's enough left to call myself Death anymore. [...] I didn't mean that to sound sorry for myself. It's the truth that I can't take anyone as I am, so the name no longer applies, probably. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Selina K/"Em" spacecowboys 2014-03-17 05:23 pm UTC (link)
	Why? Or is that one of those things no one is willing to tell me? They're piling up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Why to which part?

If the first part, then because everything I've ever seen from you (though I suppose I can't claim to know you personally) has led me to believe that you're a resilient person.

If the second, then to be honest, I've had a run of hard luck. Some my own fault, some I'm chosing to believe isn't completely my own doing. It's taken more out of me than I would have ever imagined. It hasn't been just one thing.

	I meant the second part, but thank you for the compliment. So, what aren't you responsible for? I find that much more interesting than what you do blame yourself for. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

You're welcome. I didn't mean it as flattery. Just as what I've seen of you.

I know that, depending on who looks at the situation, I'm responsible for all of it. I think most of it started when I did something under the influence of one of Crane's toxins that I most definitely should not have. Adjusting to being human and interacting more with people hasn't been easy for me, and while what's happened has been my fault, the change in general isn't. And because of any number of reasons, I've had more than one person try to kill me recently while I've already been [...] under the weather. One would have been successful if I hadn't realized what was going on. The other one just bled and hurt a lot. [...] I don't take responsibility for showing up here. Nor for the things that were out of my control. It took me so long to try to convince people that I was a personification of a concept, something more than a person or a thing, and when they finally started to understand and accept it is when I no longer was, fully.

That's a lot of run around and words that probably don't hold much weight here. I've said and done things I shouldn't have, and while from my perspective, I thought it would be alright, it might just be easier to say that everything that's happened around and to me was my fault, and just go from there. [...] And that got a little self-pitying. I realize and apologize for that. I am trying my best.
