Who: Death, Pearl and an NPC'd Ood at the end of it.
Doing what: Death takes The Walk to confirm that things are functoning properly and gets to confront her own immortality along the way. (And psychologically scar Pearl, possibly, but hey; the kid's strong!)
Where: Death's quad, then the Path (so off campus)
When: 01/04, evening.
Warnings: Chior music? Angst, the whole "Walking to the afterlife" thing, and a song at the end of it. Other than that, TBA as needed.
Standing outside, Death ignored the cold. It was easy to do, really, since there was so much of it. Her quad stood behind her, imposing and silent, the nameplate illuminated by the weak bulb that hung over the entryway. Despite her ignoring the cold, she had on a tattered black coat over her regular outfit. The mark of Horus looked fresh, and it was, since she'd touched it up before heading out. Ikea had meowed at her, and she'd explained why he couldn't go with her, and he seemed to understand, content to walk over to one of his toys and bat at it before meowing at her again as a goodbye.
Letting the door close, Death had frowned, second guessed herself and then waited for Pearl to show up. Opening the path wouldn't be hard. It was the walk she was dreading. The Endless could handle it because it was her job, and because something immortal didn't have to worry about mortality rearing its ugly head. Pearl wasn't immortal, and for most humans, the walk wasn't a test run.
Her eyes narrowed momentarily before she gave herself a mental slap. "Pearl can handle this. So can you. Stop it."
Smacking some snow that had landed on her shoulder away, Death repeated that mantra a few times quietly as she waited.
