[Del has made a pilgrimage. She has traveled to the ends of the earth in search of the something.

But here, standing at the edge of the Dead Zone, she finds she can't take another step farther. It felt like her toes were disappearing from the inside out.]

I don't like this kind. I don't like it... I want my sister!

[her ears perk up]

Thy sister?

[fishy_go_byebye]

Sister sister/brother brother sister someone...

[doublethefun]

[...oookay]

But nonetheless, thou art speaking of family, yes?

[fishy_go_byebye]

Yessssss...

That feels like snakes in my mouth...

[doublethefun]

[yup, this is weird]

At least thou dost not have snakes in thy mouth. [right? right??]

[fishy_go_byebye]

You speak a long time ago.

[doublethefun]

It is a difficult habit to break. I am capable of speaking in a more modern fashion, if thou wi - if you wish.

[fishy_go_byebye]

There was a time when it was all gifts and thous.

[doublethefun]

'Twas a very long time ago, now. Forsooth, I have yet to find another who doth speak as I do, even in this mishmash of times and places.

[fishy_go_byebye]

Hob didn't, either.

[doublethefun]

Who is this 'Hob?'

[fishy_go_byebye]

Mm... Never mine.

[exanimatus]

[from over the journal... because he is not fond of going out there.]

Which one?

[fishy_go_byebye]

I want!

[A pause, as she considers how busy Death always is. Busy busy busy. Always too busy.]

...Mm...

[exanimatus]

The one I know? [what's up, Del. :<]

[fishy_go_byebye]

You'd know them all...

[exanimatus]

There's a point. [that shows him.] You sound upset.

[fishy_go_byebye]

It stole away my insides. Took them all away so there's nothing left and now they're not here at all!

[doublethefun]

...Hob is not a pet, yes?

[fishy_go_byebye]

No more than anyone. I think it would be nice to have my own Matthew, but I have a Barnabas which is better just as good.

[exanimatus]

That's rude. You're not chasing them, are you?

[fishy_go_byebye]

Had to go looking. My toes disappear.

[exanimatus]

A lot more important things would get lost.

[fishy_go_byebye]

You can't scale a rope when you eat your toes.

[exanimatus]

You can't if you lose fingers, either.
