~~oh boy, here we go~~
I just wanted you guys to know, before he picks or whatever, I don't know if he'll even want to take me ~~given I'm probably kind of on his shitlist after all the shit that happened in December and such~~ but I'm volunteering. For the thing, with Death. And I already thought it through really carefully and read everything everyone's been saying and I know all the risks and everything and I don't even know that he'd pick me, but yeah. Volunteering. Have volunteered.

	I'm gonna be over here, hoping you don't get picked because I'm a selfish bastard like that and there's far too many people I know throwing themselves at him. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I honestly don't know if he'd even want me ~~cause of the whole dying and coming back bit and Perry does not need to know about that~~ but I think I could handle it. Better me than some of the other people who've been offering. Some of them are just kids. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, I understand it. Did the sacrifice for the good of the world thing myself not long before I showed up here. Just....seeing the other side of it now, y'know? Especially since, y'know, abomination. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bad_narrator 2013-09-11 06:09 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, I know. It'll be okay. Needs to be done. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notbloodycasper 2013-09-11 06:59 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, I know. And you're right, about better one of us than the kids. They're too young. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bad_narrator 2013-09-11 07:09 pm UTC (link)
	~~Death probably doesn't care if they are kids. I mean, kids die all the time. Kids kill, too.~~ Down to his choice now. All I can do is offer up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You don't know that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bad_narrator 2013-09-11 06:55 pm UTC (link)
	I know what I'm getting into. As much as if not more so than some of the others offering. I can do this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	imhisblogger 2013-09-11 06:55 pm UTC (link)
	I'm sure you do but that doesn't mean I have to like it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bad_narrator 2013-09-11 06:57 pm UTC (link)
	I know, man. I don't expect anyone to like it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	imhisblogger 2013-09-11 06:59 pm UTC (link)
	On the record I hate it. I'd offer myself instead but I don't qualify. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bad_narrator 2013-09-11 07:03 pm UTC (link)
	I know. I'm not entirely sure that I qualify. But I'm willing. Death will decide. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Being on the other side of this "give myself up for the greater good" thing isn't so great. Not that, y'know, dying was great or anything but...it's definitely a different perspective. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Few months ago I might have offered, but now it's different. ~~Watching friends do it right and left I~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	So it seems. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	fagandnewyorker 2013-09-11 05:09 pm UTC (link)
	I'm sure that decision was really well thought out. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	bad_narrator 2013-09-11 05:56 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, actually, it was. I can do this, Perry. I know it's not going to be easy or pleasant or anything, but I can handle it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fagandnewyorker 2013-09-11 08:03 pm UTC (link)
	Despite the long list of people who better fit the bill for pure in deed and have happily volunteered for the job ahead of you? You really want to play death? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He wasn't really clear on the specifics, though. He said pure of intent and pure of deed. He also said that no one here is free of sin. So I don't know if he means pure as in what we'd do with this if he swaps places with us, or what. But I think I stand as good a chance as anyone else volunteering. I mean, I don't know, maybe I don't fit the bill. But if he finds me worthy, then yeah, I'm willing and I can handle it. ~~I think.~~

Someone has to do it.

	~~How many more friends must I~~ Just how long did you actually think about this? [ooc: Regina can see this right, bb?] (Reply to this) (Thread)

	bad_narrator 2013-09-11 06:34 pm UTC (link)
	Since they first started talking about a sacrifice and stuff. I mean, not that I want to die or anything, but swapping places with Death for a time, I can do that. And I've been reading up, looking at all the things people have talked about and everything. I'm not just going into this blindly, believe me. I'm not that dumb. [ooc: yes she can! :)] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mostresilient 2013-09-18 09:42 pm UTC (link)
	For a time, isn't guaranteed. I know that you aren't dumb, dear, far from it, but have you honestly thought what would happen if he refused to switch back? If you were forced to be Death for eternity? ~~I do not want to lose another friend~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bad_narrator 2013-09-18 10:03 pm UTC (link)
	~~I... oh god~~ I just want to be able to help people. And I think, if I was Death, I'd like to think that at least I could comfort them some. I mean everyone has to go, but at least they don't have to be alone when they go. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	For the sake of honesty, I admit that I hope you're not picked. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	bad_narrator 2013-09-11 09:17 pm UTC (link)
	I'm pretty sure everyone's hoping no one has to get picked. But, well...I want to help, here. And I think I can do this. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	notmymemory 2013-09-11 09:16 pm UTC (link)
	And so the die have been cast and will roll in the winds. Who will hurt, who will fall. Death comes for us all. The heart turns to stone and the blood is ice and it will scream. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I suppose we'll find out soon now. There's no way for you to turn it off or anything? All the magic around here and such. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	A lot of people did. Let's hope whoever gets picked can handle it. [ooc: augh, I'm sorry! I didn't see this until just now! My bad bb! <3 Can we backdate this convo?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	toobloodynoble 2013-09-20 11:29 pm UTC (link)
	That entirely, this is my wish as well. And that they have others close to them here to help them through it. [ooc: it's okay hun! no worries. i understand how it can happen (cause it's happened to me /sheepish). i've got no problem with this] (Reply to this) (Parent)
