Funeral Service for Adaman and Hodaka Morishima

[giddyundertaker]

[ An hour or two after the first trial's end, Hild and the Undertaker set out to invite as many people as possible to the Restaurant for the funerals of our dearly departed friends.

Why the restaurant of all places? Because there aren't enough chairs and tables elsewhere.

Indeed, some of the tables have been moved against the wall to make room for the seats. The chairs have been set up in four rows of six, like an improvised theater or a church. To the side, a small buffet has been set up courtesy of Obi, Mafuyu, and Hild. As for the main event? Two tables have been set up and decorated in black fabric and white flowers. In lieu of a live viewing, two drawings referenced from the profiles have been set up in the center of funeral wreaths... They're not the best, due to the artist's handicaps, but it does look like Adaman and Hodaka at least.]

Well... Where I'm from, that's the fate of those who throw their lives away so carelessly.

It's more of an eternal job, you see. They're given a list of humans who will soon perish and are sent out to review their lives, one by one. If it is decided that human should die, the reaper must sever their souls from this world and allow them to die... And the reaper must be completely neutral in their decision, without bias or emotion.

I don't believe someone like you would be able to handle doing that day after day.

[Jonathan takes a moment to wonder how he would know something like that, before it hits him like a ton of bricks.]

You.. you mean you are...?

[Jonathan's mind is reeling right now. Is his appearance here an omen? Are they all already dead? What does this mean?]

[giddyundertaker]

[ ... He combs his fingers through his bangs, lazily moving just enough hair out of the way for only Jonathan to catch a glimpse of them.

The eyes. A bright shade of green that faintly glows in the shadows, pupils that fail to adjust to the light properly and seem to just barely focus on the other man's face.

The Undertaker smiles. ]

Eh heh heh... Not so dull after all, eh?

[ He'd give more than a few seconds to let Jonathan come to a million conclusions, but that might be a bad idea. After all, the man paid him well with that pond incident earlier this week. ]

Put your fears to rest, Harker. I quit reaping decades ago. I don't have access to that list anymore and I certainly wouldn't be here if it wasn't for that Fontaine fellow.
