As a rule, Der Tod did not like what he did not understand. There was much about this place he did not understand, and it grated on his nerves constantly. It didn't help that he was also painfully bored. Stripped of his duty - practically of his very nature- there was little here to challenge him. There was the Labyrinth, but he was wary of attempting it without at least a bit more information he currently possessed. So he'd taken to wandering the amusement park, trying to get a feel for the limits and limitations of this place. It killed time neatly.

Today he found himself wandering down the same row of stalls he'd walked with Rudolf their first night here. This time however, more stalls were open, and more interestingly there was someone, or perhaps something else coming towards him down the row. It looked like a rather strange young girl, but Der Tod could tell she wasn't human. Nor was she like that vampire boy he'd met. No, he realized, she was someone who'd never brushed his realm, and never would. That realization should troubled him, but it didn't. She felt almost familiar somehow.

"It's time that we talk to each other. It's time to break the silence" he sang, and then stopped, confused. That hadn't been precisely what he'd meant to say, though it worked. But why had he sung? Granted, he was hardly a bad singer, but why now? Something very odd was going on.
