Dani BOT 25-Nov-21 04:31 AM

When faced with death many find that deep within themselves there are dark secrets. And even without effort your mind seems to show you what it believes you should see. For one, your whole life seems to flash before your eyes in a matter of seconds. It's funny how your mind seems to only show you the good and never the bad things. Two, your mind numbs your entire body when the pain is beyond bearable. That's what Dani was experiencing at this particular moment. Blood and tears mixed together on her face as they made their way down her cheeks. I really don't want to die… The thought was barely a whisper in her own mind as she glanced at the man she had thought loved her. However, due to the adrenaline Dani wasn’t currently feeling the pain from the gnarly gash on her head. Instead, she felt an ache in her heart from being betrayed by the one person who was supposed to treasure her. Dark mahogany eyes stared into her green ones with a look of contempt. What had she done to deserve such betrayal? Well, she had kept asking herself the same thing for the past few months and came up with nothing. Her teeth began to chatter as the blood rushed from her wound. Death felt so close she swore she could hear her mother's voice calling her to join her. Which was odd, seeing as she didn't believe in ghosts and her mother was thoroughly dead. Had been for years. She shook off the dizziness and stood up. A broken two by four clenched a little too tightly in her only good hand. I'll end this, she thought, and with it I'll shatter the last remaining humanity I had left…

“Just come back home… before I make you D.” Her soon to be ex’s voice made her stomach churn with disgust. How had she been so blinded as to what kind of man Zach had been? “So that you can kill me? No thanks, asshole.” The door to the bar behind him opened and a drunk couple staggered out giggling as they made their way down the alley. Dani used that small distraction as a chance to escape. She was still clutching the broken board as she darted from the dark and damp alleyway onto the busy street. Her heart was thundering so hard in her chest it was making her ears ring from the extra blood pumping through her body. She fought off dizziness from the concussion she surely had. She ran through the bustling nightlife on the sidewalks of downtown. Her eyes tried to stay focused as she looked for a decent place to hide or escape. Zach couldn’t have been too far behind her, he had been on the track team all through their high school years and still ran cross country whenever he felt like it. Come on Lady Luck...please… She shook her head and wiped at her eye trying to prevent more blood from obscuring more of her vision. Dani finally made it through the thick holiday crowd and glanced behind her. Zach was about a block behind her and her heart sank. I’m not going to make it, He’s going to kill me!

Dani used what last strength she had to dart down the historical part of downtown, two options laid out before her. She could either try one of the many houses or she could try to find somewhere to hide. She didn’t have long to decide before he caught up so she decided to try the small side street between two of the houses. One had an iron spiked gate with high brick walls; she couldn’t climb those, she knew but that didn’t stop her from going between that fence and the one with the white picket fence. Dani jumped the fence, barely making it over and fell to the ground with a soft oomph, the wind now knocked out of her she passed out in the bushes that had caught her. Her last thought being another prayer to Lady Luck; I want to live…

My replies aren't normally a huge block like this. (They could be though) But this is a starter. I prefer 3rd person and like 2-3 para replies.

"Tell me, little girl? What is it that makes you so afraid of me? Am I really that scary, that you struggle so hard to run away from me?" A rather eccentric man appeared before her, holding a flowing scythe, that was sharp and ready for the use. "You see, my cousin, is beloved by everyone, Every man and woman loves her. She brings to them joy, and pain. They love to live in bliss of lies. While I am only loved by very few. It's heartbreaking to know." Yama looked at the man, who was approaching the lady before him, with a strong intent to kill her. Besides him, a lady stood, his own cousin. "You see.... Death is always known as the most horrific thing, and you, despite everything, still cling to the life, despite the fact that the very fact, that the lady luck, that you so desperately wish for is standing over there, betraying you to the man over there. She has abandoned you. Yet.... you are still here, breathing and clinging on the life, as if you were still being held by her." Yama then knelled down and extended his right arm. "I can see the fear in your eyes. And it hurts me. But what if I make a deal with you. Base your life on death. In that way, you can live, while you are not alive. Something like a blessing of the death. You will then know death as long lost lover, that you wish to see so desperately. Yet Death's answer will be, no. Until you ask that one time, the right question...." "Take my arm, and live under death."

Dani BOT 26-Nov-21 10:38 AM

Dani clearly heard something, or someone speaking to her and she willed herself to open her eyes. The figure was blurry at first and it was hard for her to focus on anything. A groan escaped her as the pale figure became clear. The words he spoke tore at her heart. She had always been loyal and worshipped her goddess with fealty. Her eyes watered and her tears mixed with blood. *Make a deal? Can I do that? * Her thought echoed in her mind as she turned her head slightly to the left. She opened her mouth to speak but recoiled from the pain. Dani had never even hurt a fly before. Was he asking her to take lives? Could she do that to survive? She heard Zach’s footsteps drawing closer and dug her hands into the dirt beneath her. Something inside her shifted ever so slightly and she nodded. “W--” her voice cracked as she tried to whisper. She focused all her willpower to speak. “What... do I... have to do?”

Yama The Pale Horseman BOT 26-Nov-21 01:16 PM

After receiving a confirmation, he knelled down and kissed the forehead of the girl laying in front of him. The kiss of death is a rare gift, one that grants true immortality. Yet it's the kiss of life, that can remove the gift of eternal death. As such, he might just seal her fate. "Looks like you are going to feel a bit dizzy... and you will be my responsibility. Am I right my dear cousin?"

Vita The Birth Secret BOT 26-Nov-21 01:17 PM

"Eh? Looks like you are at this game once more. I told you, I won't clean up the mess after you. She is now your problem." The Godess left the man who was coming to kill Dani and it seems that fate has forsaken the attacker.

Yama The Pale Horseman BOT 26-Nov-21 01:18 PM

"Well? How it feels to be alive and not, at the same time? Maybe try out your new found limits on that poor soul? What you say?"

Dani BOT 26-Nov-21 01:31 PM

Dani sat up and looked from the man before her, and then the woman as she walked away. She blinked a few times confused at what exactly she had agreed to. Dani braced herself before slowly standing. She paled at his words. "What?" Her ex had picked up a crowbar from somewhere and looked like a feral animal and Dani took a step behind the man who had kissed her head. The bleeding had stopped on her head and she felt better, and he was right she was dizzy. The whole world seemed to be wobbling around her and it made her sick to her stomach. She wondered what mess the woman was referring to and made a mental note to ask later. "What...exactly am I supposed to do?" She paled; was he asking her to kill her ex?

Yama The Pale Horseman BOT 26-Nov-21 02:35 PM

"Ahh I guess I have to do this one. Too much work for you." He said as he swinged his scythe right at Dani's ex. The swing made the ex stand in place and the slice had split the man in half. Making him stop breathing... and... as the left side of his body fell on yhe ground. The right one was standing for a few more seconds. Before it fell down "Hey. You alright? I rarely kill people directly. And it's actually against my principle. So this time,it's an exception"

Dani BOT 26-Nov-21 02:45 PM

Dani watched in shock as the man she had spent seven years with get sliced in two. She tried to look away but the scene was too much too quickly and she oddly found kind of comical how half of him was stood longer, but she wouldn't outright admit it. "I-" Her face slightly tinted green and she quickly hunched over, her body emptying it's last contents. When she was done she wiped the side of her mouth with her sleeve, it was gross and she was slightly embarrassed, but now she felt perfectly fine; even her dizziness had subsided. "Peachy..." She dusted off her pants before facing her savior. "Well. I've never had to murder anyone before, so thanks..."

Yama The Pale Horseman BOT 26-Nov-21 10:38 PM

"...there are many people who thank me for taking someone's life. So don't even mention it. " He lifted up his scythe and put the body ablaze. "Tell me. What are you going to do now? You are still alive, yet you are dead. In human world that's a paradox. See.... your heart is not beating anymore. It won't be too long until your body becomes cold and your red cheeks will become white. Granted, your body will regenerate itself, on the expense of other deaths. So you will be having nearly eternal youth. Yet... how long will you wish to live like that. Right?"

Dani BOT 27-Nov-21 06:10 AM

Dani thought about what he said and chewed on her bottom lip. He had a point, but for now there were too many unknowns for her and she had so many questions. "Well..." She shook her head, "I'm not sure. So if I'm dead, does that mean I don't have to eat? Are life's pleasures now forever out of my reach?" The thought of not being able to feel pleasure from a warm meal, a nice hot shower, or even the embrace of another made her anxious. Before he could answer her questions she took a step toward the burning corpse of her ex. "Serves the bastard right." She turned to face him again, a spark in her eyes. "Do you have any ideas? My life here is pretty much dead, pun intended... Is there something I should do? The deal I made, what exactly do you want from me?" Dani wrapped her arms around herself, a coldness had set inside her and subconsciously she was trying to warm herself out of habit.

Yama The Pale Horseman BOT 27-Nov-21 06:16 AM

"There is a tale, that talks about someone who was in your place. What happened to them and how did they die. If you don't have anything better to do right now." He looked over the burning corpse and felt her rather malicious gratefulness for killing someone she loved a few minutes ago. "So let's go to somewhere you feel like home, while I'll tell you about the only person, who was in your place, about 200 years ago"

Dani BOT 27-Nov-21 06:32 AM

"Okay..." Dani unwrapped her arms from her body and hopped back over the fence. The walk home took a good fifteen minutes but she didn't mind, she needed the time to process everything that had just happened. She was still in a bit of disbelief but there was no refuting the man that walked beside her. Once at her apartment she instantly felt a sense of relief. "Mind if I change first? Kind of covered in blood and I feel really gross..." She pointed toward her small living area where a there was a loveseat and an oversized chair. "Feel free to make yourself comfortable." She headed to her bathroom and quickly wiped away the blood as best she could before changing into a pair of oversized sweatpants and a Disturbed band t-shirt. When she came back into the living room she sat and clutched one of the small pillows to her chest. "So about that story..."

Yama The Pale Horseman BOT 27-Nov-21 07:07 AM

Yama sat down on the sofa. The room was well lit, giving a comfortable feeling that would illuminate every corner of the room. Yama's scythe was placed next to the door. It was uncommon for him to place the scythe away from him, but as this was his first time in over two hundred years, that he had to talk to someone... he wanted to give the best impression of himself. The best one there is. And so... he pulled out from his pocket a cigar and lit it on fire, using a lighter, covered in silver plating. It was his favorite cigarette, he would smoke, in times when he can relax. "Alright then. Where do I start. I think it all started as a huge fight between me and my cousin. She was always bragging that people love her so much, and now tha the human population was on a magicial rise, due to many achievements of the industrial revolution, there was an issue. Not that many people would die. And so many would praise her for her blessing, and so little would love my arrival. It was quite... saddening you see." "Truth to be told, nothing really has changed ever since. There would be devastating wars thought the next years. Yet nobody loved my arrival. They all either feared me or hated me. So you could say that I've accepted my palce as the evil truth of this world, while my cousin is beloved by the entire world. Heh. Ironic. You see. What I did back then... I did something that would turn the whole balance of the world around. Just like right now I have done, but things were a bit different. You see. Life is never supposed to be the thing that kills someone. It never was. It's my job. Yet I managed to do it, I managed to achieve the unthinkable. Find the secret of eternal death. Whcich gives more than life ever could. I think you've read the story called Dracula. About a vampire. It's a small guess from the mankind about how such man could live after death. Quite... fascinating if you ask me. But we are getting away from the point here."

Yama took another smoke from the cigarette and with his pointer finger ticked on the ashes of the cigarette, making them fall on a small silver plate, which he used as an ash tray. He took a deep breath and then looked at the girl. "You see. two hundred years ago, I had a deal with a young woman. She was terminally ill. She had an illness that people call tuberculosis. Quite a frightening sickness if you ask me. I've seen many people suffer and pray to me to take their lives as soon as possible, yet I am not allowed to. My cousin never would step back from them. She keeps them alive to the very last second. Despite their deepest wishes. She is a person like that. Praised for giving life, but she will never give up what she has given. Even if the person is in suffering and pain. She will keep the spirit inside the suffering as a punishment for their will to live. Like... a malicious compliance. And then you pray at her to save you whenever you are at the brink of death. Heh. That is who life is. A frightening creature. Yet... when the girl was on that death bed. She still was young, inexperienced. She had a lover, that she didn't want to leave behind no matter what the cost was." Yama then thought about what Dani had asked him. About having the pleasures of the world as well as being able to live a normal life. Those are the questions that he asked back then to himself, when he gifted the girl with eternal death. "So when she prayed for her life right as I was there to take hers. I thought to myself, about how much her will to live stays. And then she actually touched my inner senses. You see... She didn't pray to my cousin, to keep her safe. She prayed to me, so that I find mercy in my heart and let her live as she was. That kind of prayer I had heard first time in forever. That was the time that I decided to give her the chance to be the very first person in mankind to be eternally dead. A gift which was never seen before."

Yama then looked at Dani and smiled.

"She was the first person to receive the gift of death. She died that day, but she was still breathing and alive.... well in the sense that she was still herself. She no longer felt any pain. All the illnesses were gone. Nothing was holding her in the bed. A miracle had occurred. And this certainly did not please my cousin. Because what had just happened was against the balance of the world. I gave life to a being. She had to now take away that life. And to do that, she had to do something... she never had done before. Not to mention it took her about 40 years to figure out. That is what she meant by, taking care of the mess." Yama then turned around and looked over to the scythe, which was glowing in green colour. "Well it seems that she's already beginning the procedure. So if she decides to take your death, you will be alive and die soon after. When will that happen. I don't know yet. But don't worry, I think it's not going to happen any time soon, as long as I am around you." Yama then turned back at Dani and with calm gaze extinguished his cigarette. "The girl was alive and well. She was inspected by many doctors, and most of them were thinking that she's the first ever case of cured tuberculosis. As in, she survived it and now is barely warm, and her heart beat is barely beating. Which is what actually happens when you are a living dead. Your heart doesn't stop. It just barely moves, based on a long dead memory of an action. She had a happy life with her boy of the dreams... For about 2 years.... You see. Despite how much she had tried. She never could get pregnant. Never. And that scared her. Her husband wanted kids, so over time he decided that it's best to break up and look for their own ways. And.... she fell in big depression. She was no longer alive, she was a dead person. Still breathing but not a human. So she couldn't live a normal life."

"But that didn't stop her from trying other things. Over time she learned that she doesn't have to sleep, as well as she didn't have to eat or drink. Whenever she did, the taste was almost the same, it was weaker, but still present. And when it came to other life's pleasures. They all were there, just that... weaker. And you know when 40 years had passed, and she didn't age a day. People had thought of her being a witch or something. They were afraid of her. But then, my cousin came up to us and asked me to step back from her. And I did..... At that moment the girl was given the gift of life, and at that moment all the pain, sickness and illnesses had come back to her. Everything returned to her what she had ran away from. And this time the prayer was given to me.... to finally put her to the rest, that she awaited for so long."

Dani BOT 27-Nov-21 11:31 AM

Dani felt a variety of emotions hearing the tale he spoke. She felt sorrow the most and she was surprised that it was more for him than anyone else in the story. There was relief as well, knowing that she could still feel things just not as intense. She couldn’t fathom how the goddess of life could be so cruel, but she wouldn’t put it past any god or goddess. Dani ran a hand through her hair and shook her head. “That’s...” crazy, outrageous horrible sad; Dani didn’t know which one to say and let her words trail off. She sat back and observed him silently for a while before speaking again. “Is there a way to prevent her from doing what she did to the girl? If she said she wouldn’t clean up your mess...” She shook her head. “I get that I disrupt the balance but really, I’m sure there are other instances in history where another god tampered with the balance. If I learned anything from the historical books I read growing up, and the fictional novels...there has to be some truth to them.” She sighed and bit the tip of her thumb nail. Dani really wasn’t sure about any of this, although it was already too late. He had mentioned that he needed to be near to prevent whatever was to come and she wondered what exactly that would entail, but was unsure if she should ask. She shoved her auburn locks away from her face again and leaned forward, her elbows resting on her knees as she placed her head in her palms. “What is the next step?”

Yama The Pale Horseman BOT 27-Nov-21 11:46 AM

"There is no such a thing as the next step. There were no steps to begin with. So let me get this straight for you. It's no longer her choice to leave you behind for me to take you to the afterlife. It's my turn to give you up for her. However... you seem to be worked up for nothing?" Yama looked to the side and then tried to understand what the girl was thinking about all this time. Why she's so worked up about life after death. Did she really think that it's a cat and mouse game? He just... For him all of this was normal, he knew the procedure as if it's written in his dreams. Yet she is sitting there, trying to figure out something and then is worked up so badly about nothing. "Listen..... You don't have to worry about anything at all. Trust me. I don't understand what kind of fictions have you been reading." Yama then stood up and took a few steps to the big book shelf where there were a lot of fiction books and manga's. He took one out and continued to talk to her. "....Like you are making such fuss out of this, as if right now because of what I have done, the entire earth might collapse or whatever..... oh..." Yama was holding a novel in his arms about a relationship between a nerdy girl and a grim reaper himself. And he had opened it at the page, where the girl had seduced the grip reaper and were about to have an intimate relationship. "....so that kind of fiction, eh?" Yama was delighted... to say the least. He went up to his scythe and held it up in his arms. And started to read the page aloud. "....at that moment the grim reaper took his scythe and placed it on my throat..." Yama swung the scythe forward to imagine the scene. "And after that I felt his bone impale my insides with full force." He then looked at Dani with his eyebrows raised. "You humans do realise that this thing is heavy and uncomfortable to wield. Like.... How one might think that doing it like this might be comfortable???"

Dani BOT 27-Nov-21 12:22 PM

Dani couldn't help but burst into laughter. Out of all the books he could have picked up, it had to be that one. She stared down at his scythe and shook her head. "That isn't what I meant. And I guess thinking you saved me would destroy something is a bit narcissistic on my part. I guess I just figured since you said you don't do this that often that meant it was bad for..." Dani trailed off for a moment staring at the scythes sharp blade. "I'm not quite sure." She moved around the sharp curved blade and took the book from his hand and held it up. "This..." She sighed, "This is just something I read to um..." she cleared her throat. "Pass the time, I know it's not realistic at all." She didn't know much about weapons but looking at the thing she knew it was big and heavy. "I'm just wondering how this changes my life. Should I keep my day job? Quit and just travel around? Do you expect anything from me?" She ran her hand through her hair again but her hair just fell back into place. "I've never been in this type of situation before. So cut me some slack, alright?" She looked down at the manga in her hand and shoved it neatly back into place. She turned and leaned against the shelf looking at him. "What I meant by what's next is like..." She took a deep breath. "Do you want me to go murder people? Does my body belong to you now?"

Yama The Pale Horseman BOT 27-Nov-21 12:50 PM

"Alright.... so many questions. But I think I know the answer to at least one of the questions. That I have to you. And the question is, where are you getting these questions from?" He picked up another book titled. "Assassin's hostage". Opened it at the page 64 and read it aloud "At that moment, I felt like I am his slave... He spared my life and I decided that it's time to devote my eternal soul to him. If he asked me to kill someone, I would readily do it for him. If he.... wanted my body. He was more than welcome to take it as he pleases. I was his slave forever." Yama then looked back at her and started to chuckle "Alright... so to answer your questions about body or killing someone... no? Even if you kill someone I have to be there to take their souls, otherwise they suffer in pain. So that makes my job even worse." He then continued to read the next page. Ahem "My whole desire was to abandon everyone that was known to me, only for him. His sexy body and hair was all I could think of right now....." Yama then looked with one eye at Dana "Really?" And then continued to read the book. "Every night, all I wanted to dream about was him, taking advantage of me, as if I was the only person he would use for his personal pleasure. I could feel it in my dreams, the harsh and rough attitude that he had." Yama then chuckled "Ok... this part here is really good" "....And how he would place his knife up against my throat and force me to be obedient in my form, submit to him like a slave under his mercy."

Dani BOT 28-Nov-21 04:53 AM

"I admit, my book selection is a bit..." Dani cleared her throat and shrugged. "A girl has her fantasies, okay? Doesn't necessarily mean that's unhealthy." Although, as he picked out certain books she had a small realization come to her about how she had ended up with a guy like Zach in the first place. She would have laughed except what she had ended up with was nothing like those in her stories. "So, how close exactly do you need to be near?" Dani looked him in the eyes before pushing way from the shelf and headed toward the kitchen. She opened the fridge and glanced down at it's contents. If what he said was true the beer wouldn't affect her like it used to which was a bummer but she could still drink one. She grabbed two and set one on the counter before cracking one open on the kitchen counters edge. She then repeated the process for the second one. Dani grabbed both and offered one to him. " Want one?" She took a long swig from the one in her right hand and sighed. The sensation was definitely less, but still there enough she didn't outright hate it. "My name's Dani by the way... How should I address you?"

Yama The Pale Horseman BOT 28-Nov-21 05:05 AM

"Just call me Yama I guess... And don't worry. I will be around as long, as I see it necesary." He was now holding another book in his arms and reading the following pages aloud as Dani was drinking her beer. "....And then he took his magnificent member covered in metallic rings and pushed it down my throat. It was as if I had a can of beer pushed right inside of my mouth... so warm and......" He took the pint of the beer and looked at it from all sides. Inspecting it and took note of the fact that it's rather cold. "Well maybe you should warm it up first?" He then opened up the can of beer and continued to read the following lines of text. "...and when he was as warm and strong inside of me, I could feel it...." Yama took a sip of the beer, and seconds after he spitted it all out from his mouth as he reacted to the text. "...And then the liquid, like a white beer, populated my throat." He looked at Dani dead in the eye. "I know it's not a bad thing to read this stuff.... But you know what kind of imagination people have right after that?" He then looked down his pants and placed the can at his crotch to imagine what it might have been like... "Yea.... Where do people get these ideas?????"

Dani BOT 28-Nov-21 05:25 AM

"Okay... Yama." Dani laughed, the last of the tension she felt leaving as he continued reading. She finished her beer and set the empty container on the coffee table. When he moved the can to his crotch she laughed again. "Probably drugs, or maybe they tried it out before deciding it was something worthy of writing?" She shook her head thinking about the things she had done in the past. "Probably their college years..." Dani was quite amused with his knack at singling out all the erotic literature she had. "Try another one. See just how wild people's ideas can be." She looked at the shelf before getting comfortable in the over sized chair, her feet tucked underneath her butt.

Yama The Pale Horseman BOT 28-Nov-21 05:53 AM

Yama looked over the shelf and continued to look through the books that were there. He looked at some and then found a book that looked different from anyone else. "Hmm... 50 shades of gray. What is this book about. I think something deep about life's meanings. Some people love to experiment and think about what it's like to live in a world that's monotone. I have big expectations for this one." He opened the book and closed it right after... it took him about 10 seconds to react.

Dani BOT 28-Nov-21 06:12 AM

Dani couldn't hold in her amusement and clutched at her sides as she laughed whole-heartedly. After the laughter died down she wiped at the tears that had formed at the corner of her eyes. "Not what you were expecting there, was it?" She stood and went to the shelves and stood beside Yama gazing at the books. "Here what about..." She scanned the book titles and stopped when she was practically touching Yama's side. She reached up and stood on her toes as she grabbed the book she had been looking for. She smiled a wicked smile and handed him the book, the title was 365 days. Dani held the book shut for a moment, "Why don't you take a guess about what it's about before taking a peek?" She tried her best to hold in her amusement, trying to give off a serious vibe.

Yama The Pale Horseman BOT 28-Nov-21 11:03 AM

He looked through the book and read some of the pages about it. He then looked at her with a strange look and said simple words "In your dreams. I am not kidnapping you. I just want someone to love death."

Dani BOT 28-Nov-21 11:08 AM

Dani laughed and shook her head. "I'm not asking for that. I just find your reactions very interesting." She shook her head and took the book from him and replaced it on the shelf. Dani looked at the clock above the bookshelf and clicked her tongue. She would have to get ready for work in the next hour if she was to make it on time. "So... my nightshift at the hospital starts in an hour and a half." She turned to Yama. "I need to shower and get rid off the rest of the aftermath from earlier. You're free to watch tv, or read a book, or even raid my fridge...do you even need to eat?" Dani ran a hand through her hair. "Well anyways, make yourself at home." She offered a small smile before heading into her bedroom.

Yama The Pale Horseman BOT 28-Nov-21 11:17 AM

Yama sat down and relaxed a bit. After that he went into sleep like state as he had to put many unfortunate souls to the rest. It took about 30 minutes. After that he turned on a channel on tv. It turned out to be a porn channel

Dani BOT 28-Nov-21 04:05 PM

It took Dani awhile to get the blood out from under her nails, and she scrubbed her body way longer than needed, the heat from the water only offered a small respite against her now cold body. When she stepped out of the bathroom steam followed her as she left. With a towel wrapped around her hair she walked back into the living room to see what Yama had decided to do to pass the time. Seeing the porn channel on Dani shook her head. "Is that what gods are in to nowadays?" She chuckled and chose to sit next to him. She had another thirty minutes before she had to leave. "Are you going to tag along when I head to work? Or I guess maybe you have your own things?" Dani's eyes looked at the tv and she shook her head. The porn that was currently on looked like those horrible seventies ones with the angle of the camera and the absolute disaster of what one could barely call acting. "She clearly isn't enjoying that..." The woman on the screen was moaning in a monotone. "She could at least pretend better to like what the pizza guy was doing to her, at that rate she might get more enjoyment out of the pizza."

After trying to understand how the remote was working at all, he just knew that you had to push the big red button, it either turned the thing on or off, he gave up and handed it to Dani asking to teach him to use it. "I only know how to turn it on, and off. So how to I switch channels?" But then he thought about her comments and how pizza was more... enjoyable. He looked at Dani with one eye and picked up a magazine, which her ex probably enjoyed so much and pointed at the cover which had pizza like sex costumes and the big red title saying "Eat your partner out" "That.... explains more than I could think of. But still that is the least of my worries. Like if you open up the page 23...." He opened up and there was a pizza shaped butt plug thing drawn on it "I've seen many shit. But this beats all of them."

Dani BOT 28-Nov-21 05:35 PM

Dani laughed and shook her head. "I promise you, there are even weirder things out there in the world than that." She took the remote from him and showed him the important buttons, how to change the channel and volume and even how to switch the TV from cable to the streaming services she had. "It's not complicated once you get the hang of it. Humans like simple." Dani changed the channel to the discovery channel to demonstrate. The image on the TV were two lions going at it extremely aggressive. The voice over describing the mating ritual was ver being extremely descriptive about it and Dani fought the urge to laugh again. "Here, see if you can find something you like." She held the remote out for Yama to take then leaned back and got more comfortable on the couch.

Yama The Pale Horseman BOT 28-Nov-21 05:40 PM

He took the remote and started to look over the many channels. Most of them were agressive ones like porn channels about weird fetishes. But then he switched on the channels made for children and there were some cartoons. And over switching a few. He finally stumbled upon one that was showing Tom and Jerry, the original series from the 1940's onward and he became actually excited. As the last time he saw one episode was back in those days when he passed by one house. He got so excited that he didn't stop watching it. It was rather amusing how he was rooting for Tom all the time. "I always feel bad for the cat. Like he's sometimes simply minding his own business you know. Or trying to attract his love interest. But that mouse just gets in the way."

Dani BOT 28-Nov-21 05:56 PM

Dani watched as Tom chased Jerry across the house with a broom and nodded at Yama's words. She'd loved the show growing up and the background music was always decent. "You know, I never really looked at it that way but you're right." She watched more of the show before speaking again. "I think the coyote from the looney tunes cartoon is kind of sad too. All he wants is a nice meal." Dani watched until she had to leave for work and reluctantly put on her work scrubs and shoes. "My shift is eight hours and is at the hospital a few blocks away. I'm not sure what to do about what's happened in the future but I do know that as of right now I still have a job." Dani had always loved her job as a nurse in the intensive care unit. The late shift was her favorite to work, something about keeping the injured company while their loved ones couldn't be near always made Dani feel important. Everyone deserved company, especially those teetering on the line of life and death. Following her thoughts she shook her head. How ironic all of this was now for her, Being dead and all but not. "You're welcome to anything here...I only have the one bed so feel free to use it if you get tired or whtever..." Did Gods get tired? Dani wasn't sure but it didn't hurt to offer. Her mother always taught her to be kind and she wasn't going to stop any time soon.

Yama The Pale Horseman BOT 28-Nov-21 10:57 PM

He just sat at the sofa and watched Tom and Jerry. After a while he felt a bit tired and laid back in the sofa, thinking about what it must be like among the world of the man. He knew a lot of their achievements, but the fact that alongside with the greatest steps forward for the humanity... that they would become so lewd. So bad at their own mental health. He only saw that once. Last time he saw that was in the Ancient Rome, where people became so perverted, so sexualised, that over time the empire fell apart. That is one of the biggest reasons why any nation, or civilisation for that matter falls apart. Yama knew it and he knew that at one point, his workload will be so full, that he might not have enough time to do anything about it at all.

Dani BOT 29-Nov-21 04:08 PM

While at work one of Dani's favorite patients took a turn for the worst in the middle of her shift. The older gentleman didn't have any next of kin or anyone else to be with him during his hospital stay and Dani had built a friendship with him during the last few months. His stories of his time in the marine corps, the many heroic deeds he had accomplished over the years, and her favorite story of how he had met the love of his life had made Dani yearn for more out of life. "I'm not afraid, girl..." He paused a moment to catch his breath. "The good Lord will come and take me. It's my time..." A few more shallowed breaths and he smiled. "I'll be reunited with my Jimmy and all will be swell." She tried his best to squeeze her hand and she did the same. Dani tried to hold back the tears as he took his last breath. It was night like these that were the hardest for Dani. It wasn't that people died, it was that they had no one to be there with them when it was their time to part this plane of existence. She wiped away the few tears that had pooled at the corner of her eyes as the doctor pronounced the time of death. The rest of her shift went by uneventfully and by the time Dani came back home she had forgotten that Yama was still in her house. She threw her keys on the kitchen counter and began pulling of her scrubs that smelt of death and decay. She put her hair in a messy bun and headed to take a hot shower even though she had taken one before work.

Yama The Pale Horseman BOT 01-Dec-21 02:41 AM

Yama looked over to Dani and noticed something remarkable. There was something about her right there, that would tell him something he had thought to be impossible. He knew what happened at the hospital quite well. He was right there, ready to be the one who guided the old marine to the afterlife, yet... When he was there, the spirit was already being guided away. Something he saw as an interesting turn of the events. He decided to keep this information to himself. Yama continued to watch some cartoons and just enjoyed his time, while on his hands, he was reading anothe book, this time it was not book about porn, rather it was a kids book, about learning how to count. "How was your day at work Dani? Looks like you've had a hard time. People come and go. And it's really good that at least they have to look at a pretty face when they die. Don't be sad for them, where they are headed, they have a lot of friends waiting for them, even if there's nobody here being with them, when they leave"

Dani BOT 01-Dec-21 07:45 AM

"It was alright..." She had just gotten out of the shower and felt a little better, the warmth from the scalding hot water still lingered on her body. Dani glanced at Yama as she dried her hair with her towel. "I'm not upset he passed..." She plopped in her favorite chair and sighed. "It's more..." She paused and thought for a moment. "This patient today for example." She glanced at the book he was reading and continued. "He was this amazing person who lived this full life and his legacy?" Dani buried her face into her towel before wrapping it to contain her auburn curls. "It ends with me. I'm the last person who can carry on his memory..." She stared at Yama and furrowed her brows, "I understand that death is the end. It doesn't make it any less upsetting to me for those who get lost in history." Dani leaned her head back and stared at the sealing. She lifted her hand up as if trying to grasp something that wasn't there. "We are all just star dust from beginning to end." She let her hand fall beside her but continued to look at the ceiling. "Except for you and your kind I guess..."

Yama The Pale Horseman BOT 01-Dec-21 07:53 AM

"You and your kind... You know words hurt too right! I am a human too you know!!!! At least... I was. I was a human once too, this state doesn't make it any less." Yama felt really upset now. She talked about things that she had no idea about. And then saying it doesn't matter. He had heard those words so many times. From so many ungrateful people that he just couldn't take it anymore. "Listen. The knowledge I am about to tell you, it's banned from humanity. If it was out there... which it is out there, just people don't believe it... Is that everything you've done, is written in a scrolls of history. Just because people here have forgotten about the people who lived, doesn't mean that there aren't people out there, who are always listening and reading these stories. People move on. From one world to the next. They carry over all their knowledge and souls. And most importantly. They all are immortal. Their legacy here is moved forward. These legends are sent to other beings, who then write down the history of the universe. Nobody is forgotten. Trust me."

Dani BOT 01-Dec-21 08:44 AM

Dani sat up and looked embarrassed, "I-" she looked away. When he went on about the truth she was shook to her core, she hadn’t expected any of that but it did make her feel relief in knowing. “Thank you for telling me, I realize now that what I said was hurtful and I’m sorry.” Dani stood up and went the few feet to her kitchen area and opened the fridge, she grabbed two cans of coke before she rummaged through the pantry and grabbed a box of sugar cookies. When she walked back to her chair before she sat, she offered one of the cokes to Yama. “It’s nearly breakfast time, and I normally eat a full meal but right now this is all I’ve got.” Dani was a curious person by nature and she wondered what his life was like before this, before he became what he was but she wouldn’t pry and ask anything personal. If he wanted her to know something he would tell her in his own time, and after her last blunder she figured it was best she kept her mouth shut. She sat back down and popped her can of coke and took a long sip, the bubbles tickled her nose making her scrunch her face together. Dani opened the box of cookies and took one before placing it on the coffee table. She slowly nibbled it feeling awkward for having upset him.

Yama The Pale Horseman BOT 01-Dec-21 09:05 AM

Yama was a bit calmer now. He realised that what he might have said was a bit too harsh, so he toned down and then looked at Dani. He smiled a bit and then thought about what could be in her mind. "I think I know what you are thinking right now. No I do not plan to do this to you." He turned around the children book where on the character P there was a drawn Penis on one of the Puppies that was stuck inside another puppy. It seems that someone had hand drawn it inside the book as a joke. And in the book there was a writing. Where originally it was written "P is for a Puppy." it was crossed out and now there was a writing "P is for Penis right into that puppy's asshole" He said as he chucked and then placed the book on the desk. "So that's what is being taught to the children?"

Dani BOT 01-Dec-21 10:38 AM

Dani laughed as she looked at the book. "That is definitely not what I was thinking." She shook her head and the towel came loose. Instead of fixing it she just removed it and threw it on the back of the chair. Her hair was a bit frizzy and wild. "And no, not technically... Sex education is taught to the older kids in high school." Dani wiped the crumbs from the cookie off of her legs. "Also, that wouldn't be in my fantasies in the first place." She finished off her can of coke and placed it on the coffee table. "Not to offend you like I did earlier, but do you have a sexual urge?" She looked at Yama curiously. When she thought about the last time she had been active in the bedroom she shook her head. To think that she had been in a relationship and hadn't been touched like that in months was a bit ridiculous and made her question why she had stayed in the relationship for so long. "Never mind, you don't have to answer that..." She grabbed another cookie from the box and munched on it.

Yama The Pale Horseman BOT 01-Dec-21 10:51 AM

"Remember how I told you about the only girl, know to me that I had given life after death.... If you had listened carefully, the you might remember that she felt the pleasures of whatever the human might feel, on a scale zero point five. Or not as strongly. Welll... yeah," Yama said as he pulled out from his pocket a cigarette and lit it on fire, looking at the smoke that he exhaled and thought to himself. "You see, I smoke. Most people who smoke, do so, to gain the dose, that's inside of it. THis in turn motivates them to take another cigarette and smoke it after a while... right? Despite the fact that many people actually die after taking a smoke.... Where am I getting at?" Yama placed the book back into the shelf and then took out one book about Frankenstein. "I often read the literature to understand what is wrong with me or anyone around me. And one of the books had struck an interest in me. The Frankenstein's monster. As a matter of fact, the monster himself was not named Frankenstein. It's the name of the doctor, who had created the monster. Well I am getting off track. Alright. So when reading the book, there were some lines talking about how the monster had fallen in love with a human.... Heh funny. I too once was in love with a human. Believe it or not. But.... I am still not a human myself." Yama placed the book back in the shelf and approached Dani "What I am trying to say is that I am not feeling any pleasures that exist out there. Such as pleasure of drinking, smoking or even sexual interaction. I remember clearly how they are supposed to feel. I was a human once. And it seems that I smoke now, only to preserve the memories of how it felt when I was smoking. However.... It's not the same. I don't feel any of it." He then sat down at the sofa and looked at Dani. "But please don't start to feel bad or anything. I am used to this by now."

Dani BOT 01-Dec-21 11:59 AM

"I always felt sorry for the monster... his creator never gave him a name and I always thought he deserved one. He was given life, so why hadn't Frankenstein been given a name?" It was interesting hearing a part of his history, though she thought parts of it was sad in itself. “I suppose that...makes some sort of sense, preserving the memory. I never liked smoking myself, but to each their own.” Dani stood up and grabbed the cookies and the coke can and placed them on the kitchen counter. “To not feel the pleasures of the world is still kind of...” She shrugged her shoulders and left her thought open ended. Dani headed into her bathroom, grabbed her comb and stared at herself through the mirror. She had been pale before but now, she seemed like a porcelain doll. She leaned over the bathroom sink to look where the gash should have been where Zach hit her. It was remarkable that there wasn’t even a scratch. She ran the comb through her hair a few times before setting it on the sink and picked up a bottle of hair crème. She poured a decent amount into her hands and began to scrunch it into her hair. From the bathroom she called out to Yama. “So, do you have anywhere you need to be today? Anything you want to do? Seeing as you said I don’t need sleep I think it would kind of be lame to just lounge about all day.” She finished with her hair and rinsed off her hands. She grabbed her make up back and proceeded to finish her normal routine; eyeliner just dark enough to emphasize on her eye's emerald hue, her favorite red lipstick that most days made her feel powerful. She scurried into her bedroom and slipped out of her shorts and opted for a pair of tight-fitting jeans that accented her curves just right. For her shirt she decided on a baby doll camisole that matched her eye color. Feeling complete she shut off her lights and reentered the living room. “If you don’t, I’m sure we could find something to do in town...”

Yama The Pale Horseman BOT 02-Dec-21 10:41 AM

Yama just sat down at the sofa and thought about what Dana told him. Does he have anywhere he has to be today. He never really thought about it that much, mainly due to the fact that he often was doing just that.... nothing. Life of a grim reaper is rather stale, barely anything happens. Granted every day a lot of people die, many die even before they are born. But he is used to that by now. It takes just a fraction of a millisecond to guide a soul away to any place needed. It's even a fact that Dani couldn't have had noticed that as the two of them were talking, he vanished and reappeared roughly once each five seconds to take away at least five to ten souls from the world. "You know... Most of my daily life is either busy or not busy, but it doesn't bother me really. I think if you have free time, we could go for a walk. I wouldn't mind it really. It would be really nice to see what it feels like to be a human again." What Yama might have not noticed however, was the fact that he's appearance was not one that would fit in among the crowds, not to mention his rather large scythe was also a glaring thing for everyone to see. He himself didn't realise it so he took the scythe on his shoulder and smiled at Dana "Well then we can go for a walk?"

Dani BOT 02-Dec-21 12:04 PM

Dani looked at Yama and shook her head. "Not looking like that we can't. However, lucky for you I have a closet full of clothes that are now owned by no one." She motioned toward the bedroom and led the way. She opened the closet opposite of hers and began rummaging through the clothes. She grabbed several outfits to choose from. There was a pair of jeans with hole patches in the knees with a five finger death punch band t-shit, the second outfit consisted of a more polished look with a pair of navy blue dress pants and a tan turtleneck with a matching trench coat, and the third an final outfit was a pair of fitted jeans and a yellow polo shirt. "If none of these are to your taste feel free to see what else there is." She sat on the bed and pointed to the bathroom. "You can change in there or whatever. And I don't think it's smart to walk around with that." She pointed to his scythe. "People will think you're a cosplayer if you walk around like that." She shrugged. "Not necessarily a bad thing but I would like to not have that much attention on us."

Yama The Pale Horseman BOT 02-Dec-21 12:42 PM

Yama looked at the clothing and really was found of the turtleneck, he took off his shirt and the put the turtleneck on. While he had his shirt off, his physical body was clearly visible, he had a muscular body, despite his clothing hid most of it. Not too exaggerated, but there were some visible. Aditionally up there were some other features, clearly visible. Such as his scars from presumably his past life Yama looked over the shelf and finally found something he thought would be nice to wear. He found a bunny costume and put it on in a matter of seconds and looked at Dani to see if this is a good enough look for him. Looking at her expression, he knew that it was not the best choice, so he took it off and decided to put on some black jeans and a turtleneck. The right clothing that would fit him. After that he looked at Dani and had a sigh of relief as the reaction wasn't the same as with the bunny costume. "Alright then. I think we can go for a walk. and for this thing, I think that the scythe can remain home. Nobody will come to visit us, right? So let's just go. Would be really bad if some simple mortal were to get their hands on it for sure."

Dani BOT 02-Dec-21 03:20 PM

Dani shook her head. "Thanks to my...ex-boyfriend I was isolated so I lost all of my friends during the relationship..." She grabbed her purse as they headed for the door and her sunglasses from the small table nearby that held her key bowl, she grabbed those as well. "There is a decent park not to far from here that has a greenhouse if you want to check that out?" She opened the door and waited for him to exit before looking the door behind her. "Or, if we go the opposite direction we could walk downtown and view the city. I'm fine with either." She headed down the two flight of stairs which lead to her apartment and then out the automatic locking doors at the entrance. Once they were outside on the street She took a deep breath of fresh air and looked up at the sky. Dani let herself feel the sunshine on her skin and sighed contentedly. When she was done she looked over at Yama. "Left is the park, right is downtown...your choice."

Yama The Pale Horseman BOT 02-Dec-21 05:37 PM

Yama was standing next to Dani and thought about if for a moment. It seems that for Yama it is the time to actually confess to Dani. "I would make a choice right now, but. You see I know what a park is, but what is a downtown?"

[Dragon] Andy Candy Pandy idk 02-Dec-21 05:37 PM

(Will add more in a few)

Yama The Pale Horseman BOT 02-Dec-21 05:58 PM

he felt really stupid right now as he asked this question "Is it like the sewers that are down below a town? I am actually curious now so maybe best let's go to the downtown?" Yama was really nervous and a little bit excited about finally learning about what downtown really is so he was radiating excitement like never before. He did not realise it at the time. But that was the first human emotion he experienced over 2000 yeara since he last was one

Dani BOT 02-Dec-21 06:12 PM

Dani laughed softly and shook her head, her curly bouncing wildly on her shoulders. "No, definitely not the sewers. Downtown is a central part of a town that's full of different kind of businesses from groceries, to clothes, to mom and pop local stores. It's the happening part instead of the more rural areas." Dani was shocked at his evident elation, and also rather perplexed. "Okay let's go. I could always use some shopping therapy." She grinned and turned on her heels to the right. "Follow me!" The walk took a total of thirty minutes but Dani didn't mind the walk and she figured Yama would have spoken up if it did him. The were on Main Street where a lot of little boutique stores were. There were little alleyways between each one. Some had benches with people sitting and conversing. Some a few outdoor tables and people snacking or drinking beverages. On both sides of the street many people could be seen going from shop to shop, bags from different stores on their arms. Dani looked at Yama. "So is it great? I love coming downtown sometimes and just people watching. Seeing people go about their lives."

Yama The Pale Horseman BOT 02-Dec-21 06:34 PM

For Yama this was rather a new experience. An are where everything is located together in one place. For him you would normally find either small shops on each corner of the city or more rural areas. He looked around and was fixated on a statue that seemed to be placed there rather recently. It was a statue made by modern artists. Which in reality was a combination of a steel piping and plastic bags that were tossed all over it "So like... that is how people nowadays gather the garbage. I remember that people have had invented the boxes. The places where they toss their garbages to be recycled. Yet the laziness had ocercome them" But what attracted mostly him was a sight of a dog walking bearby and pooping on the street. He looked at the sight and then asked Dani. "Didn't you people invent dog toilets? Or Dogs are now masters of humanity and can poop whereever they want?:

EnchantedNymph 02-Dec-21 06:50 PM

"No, this is art... Something to look at and ponder on what the meaning behind it is. It's a statement piece." She followed him around and laughed when he suggested dog toilets. She smiled and shook her head. "No no no no. Well, there might be a product like that out there..I've seen some weird crap." She chuckled and added "Most of the time if you're A DECENT HUMAN BEING" Dani loudly spoke that last part for the dogs owner. "The owner of the dog of the dog would pick it up in a little biodegradable trash bag and throw it in the bins around town! That way someone doesn't accidently step in it! Especially on a sidewalk." Dani looked from the owner to the dog as they continued walking. "Asshat." She clicked her tongue in annoyance and shook her head. Her eyes went back to Yama, "Let's go to the arcade, it's about four stores down and two after we turn right. I wonder if you'll like it." She unconsciously grabbed his hand and started pulling him in the direction she had spoken of. She was really enjoying herself, having quickly forgotten the previous nights events.

Yama The Pale Horseman BOT 02-Dec-21 07:04 PM

Yama's reaction to her grabbing his head was of a full surprise. But what Dani might not notice at first might be the feeling of Yama's hand shaking a little. Or it might have felt like the hand was shaking. While in reality Yama was constantly teleporting and taking souls to their destination But additionally Yama was startled by this sort if action that someone would take him by the hand it was not that common and for a regular human it would be a deadly act. But not for her. He was so startled that he even yelped and then asked "Arcade? I think I read about them. You can play games like King Kong and Pacman. I guess it wouldn't be bad to try them out"

Dani BOT 02-Dec-21 07:33 PM

Dani led them to an small all black building with red window trims with blacked out windows. The door itself painted a very fun scene from a game. The bell above the door chirped as they entered. The smell of cheap popcorn and nachos could be smelt from a small table nearby. Gun noises and car sounds heard throughout the arcade . "It's fun." She went to the quarter machine and put in a five. If he liked it she could always swap more bills for coins. She grabbed a little plastic cup from an impossibly tall stack and put their loot inside it. Dani then led Yama to a game that was a literal cars seat with a screen in front of it. "Sit." She sat in one and pointed at the one beside her. "Here." She demontstatedbputting the coins into the slot and then handed some to him. "This is my favorite... You just turn this" She grabbed the steering wheel and moved it left to right. "And step on this" She pushed down on the pedal underneath her foot. "To move through the course and try to win first place."

Yama The Pale Horseman BOT 02-Dec-21 07:42 PM

As both of them weee at the arcade. Yama looked at many machines and found one of interest and took the arcade stick to see how to play it. One of the kids nearby looked at what Yama was doing and found it hillarious about how he had fun playing a game while it clearly said in front of his eyes "INSERT 1 COIN" but alas, Yama had no clue what was going on and as thr demo scene was going on and the main character was about to die. He was getting so anxious as he didn't know what to do now. "Come on I can do this! I am sure that something is wrong with machine and not with my skill"

Dani BOT 02-Dec-21 07:50 PM

The whole time they were moving game to game was really enjoyable to Dani. She couldn't remember the last time she had laughed this much. When he struggling and making the kids nearby laughing Dani walked over and took a coin from the cup and slipped it into the slot. "There ya go, get em tiger." She patted the machines side before stepping back (edited)

Yama The Pale Horseman BOT 03-Dec-21 08:52 AM

Yama finally saw that the game was finally running and started to play the game, and surprisingly he did really well at the beginning. He noticed that the difficulty of the game was rather difficult, as such he had to concentrate more. The kid who was looking at Yama playing the game had his Jaw drop at the level of skill that Yama had. He even proclaimed. "This guy is stupid enough to not know that you must put in a coin to play, but he is this good to play a game? What is this fella." To that remark, Yama turned his head 180 degrees and looked at the boy, scaring him shitless.... After that, he turned around and just smiled at the kid and went up to Dani. "That was really fun, what is up next for us?"

Dani BOT 03-Dec-21 09:30 AM

Dani shook her head in a scolding like manner at Yama and clicked her tongue in disapproval. "Don't scare the kids, it's not nice." She was smiling though, because she too found it funny. When he asked what was next she thought of several possibilities. "Let's go to the candy store. I know you said things would be less, but I believe I will always be a sucker for some chocolate and I ran out a few days ago. After that we can maybe shop for some clothes specifically meant for you?" On their way out the door she gave what quarters she had left in her cup to a little girl playing whack-a-mole. "Have fun." She offered the girl a warm smile and then pulled Yama along to the store right next door. The place was full of all kinds of candy and it smelt amazing. Dani took a deep breath and sighed. "If you see anything you're curious about let me know. They let you taste samples here."

Yama The Pale Horseman BOT 04-Dec-21 07:12 PM

Yama walked around the arcades and looked at various games. But at that moment he was approached by a man who said to him. "Hello young man, here's a good gift, that might came in handy for you." Yama looked at the shirt and then said to the man. "Oh? Thank you!" But the seller then tried to reach out for him "Hold on, it's not for free! Come back!" Yama turned around and said to the man. "But you said that this is a gift!" The seller quickly thought about this. "Alright, if you buy one shirt, you get one shirt for free." Yama then quickly replied. "Sure. I take this shirt and then get this shirt for free." The man was thinking that he's dealing with an idiot but still barely could counter Yama's logic. "Nononononono that's not how this works! That's not how you play this game!" Yama then looked at the man and said "Then give me two gifts, and I will get one shirt and one for free." The man agreed and looked over few more shirts that Yama might find of interest. Yama took a shirt with cute bunny for Dani and handed it for her. "We take these two as gifts. Thank you!" Yama said and moved to the next Arcade

Dani BOT 04-Dec-21 08:30 PM

Dani felt some odd emotions while watching Yama as they went place to place. For someone who said he didn't feel things Dani got the weirdest sensation. "Here." She had gone to a little food truck and gotten them two icecream cones. Hers was green mint chocolate chip, and for him she got mango and strawberry. The sides of the cones had been dipped in chocolate. They were in a small little patch of grass that had a couple of picnic tables and sat at the only one left available. "If you don't like it, we can always switch." She offered as she took a lick from her cone, her eyes moving to the people around them.

Yama The Pale Horseman BOT 06-Dec-21 02:42 AM

Yama looked at the icecream and thought about what it would taste like. He never had an icecream so first thing first was to figure out how does one eat this. At first Yama tried to put the entire thing in his mouth, which unfortunately did not fit in all the way. Up next was another idea he had. What if he tried to bite off the icecream He took a big bite and only noticed that the thing was cold. But he didn't seem to be bothered. If anything was there to be bothered about, it was the fact that Yama was covered all over with the icecream His entire mouth was fully covered by it, clearly showing that Yama didn't know how to eat one, and made a huge mess out of him. Like some kind of toddler. "I think it's alright. I just can't figure out how does one eat this?"

Dani BOT 06-Dec-21 02:50 AM

Dani's heart did a small saummersault in her chest while looking at Yama. His face was priceless and Dani nearly dropped her own cone in the process. "Oh." Dani bit her lip before setting her cone on a napkin on the table before turning to Yama. She grabbed another napkin and held it up. "May I?" She wiped the icecream away, while she was up closer to Yama he would smell the scent of lavender and evergreen trees. Satisfied she got most of it she handed him another before picking up her cone. "You eat it like this." There was a drop of melted icecream making it's way down the cone and Dani quickly licked it up before it hit her hand. She glanced at Yama before using her tongue to lick around the cone before taking a very small bite off the top. "Most people just lick it, but it's okay to bite it too, just not the whole thing at once. Smaller bites are best." She took another lick of the melting green cream and made a noise of satisfaction. Even if things were less She still had a thing for mint chocolate chip.

Listening carefully to the explanation, Yama nodded and then took what remained of the icecram and started to lick if from all the sides, making sure not a single drop of melted icecream was intact. What followed next was him doing literally what Dani told him to do. Yama started to take small bites from the icecream and bit them off, to eat it. The sight was exactly as of a hamster, who's been given food and he eats it in fast pace without stopping, small bite at a time. It took exactly thirteen seconds for the whole icecream to be eaten. "That was nice, I guess. What you've got in mind next?"

Dani BOT 06-Dec-21 05:51 AM

Dani giggled watching him eat like a hamster. He was really just somehow so wholesome that it was refreshing. "Clothes for you next. While the clothes my ex left behind fit it's not a perfect fit. And trust me, a perfect fit matters!" She finished her own cone and threw away their trash in a can nearby. This time she didn't grab Yama's hand, instead she used her thumb to point behind her. "There's a few shops down this way with clothing. We can go through each one to see what is to your taste. Budget wise, we can get a couple outfits now and we can get some more after I get paid. After that I think we are done with shopping and can do whatever comes to mind." She offered a shrug as she lead the way to the stores. There was three of them, one exclusively offering men's wear, one was women's, and another was a second-hand consignment shop. ""This one is men's wear, more business-y and less casual wear. But the store across the street has all types, when people don't fit or change styles they can donate clothes for others who might enjoy them." She'd let him pick which they went in first.

Yama The Pale Horseman BOT 06-Dec-21 06:04 AM

He looked at the second hand store and had a rather disturbed reaction. He felt a lot of death looming in the store, it was not because there people are dying, but the clothes, those clothes are of people who died inside of. A lot of people have died in clothes and most of those clothes are there. What Dani said about the store sounded more wholesome or casual, but Yama felt, he knew what was the store about. But when he looked at men's wear, he actually felt a lot of work there, a lot of sweat and pride, which was more calming to him. "Let's go to that one first then. I think there's something I could find more fitting. I may not look like it, but as you know, I am about one thousand years old, so this wear will most likely fit me." Yama smiled and walked right in. He stared at few suits and noticed one who was for really fat people. "Suits for the big fat. Nice. And then there we have cheap ones. But this one. Looks nice." He looked at the mannequins and stated his thoughts, but he didn't notice that one of the standing figures was an actual person so he went on. "While this mannequin looks like a man who's willing to throw away his soul just to earn a little bit more money... One that can't satisfy his wife and often fails to get an erection. I will certainly not want to buy this suit."

Dani BOT 06-Dec-21 02:25 PM

Dani was about to burst out laughing but did her best to contain it as she pulled on Yama's arm away from the man. She cleared her throat and gave a sheepish look to the gentleman. "Excuse us, he isn't from around here." She pulled him to another part of the store and shook her head, her laughter now bubbling out. "Yama, that was a person not a mannequin! I think you should try some suits on, then you can get a feel for if them." She pointed to the small changing room with mirrors on each side. "Take a couple different color options."

Yama The Pale Horseman BOT 06-Dec-21 03:06 PM

As Dani was pulling Yama away from the man, he turned his head 180 and winked at the man, before returning back to normal. He loved to mess with mortals When Dani showed him suits to put on. He went to choose some and returned with 100 shades or black suits "Alright.which one is best?"

Dani BOT 06-Dec-21 03:38 PM

Dani shook her head. "I said colors, not just black. But these two, I think they would look good on you." They were both the darkest shade of black in the lot. "Maybe try and be a little adventurous and try a blue?" She went and pulled one that was a dark navy blue, just light enough to still be considered blue. "Or..." She went further down the line and grabbed a suit that was as blue as a smurf. Her eyes crinkling with laughter.

Yama The Pale Horseman BOT 06-Dec-21 03:43 PM

He looked at Dani and thought to himself. Is Black a colour or not. He was really confused now but didn't pay it any mind. When Dani took the smurf coloured one, Yama looked at ir and decided to oneup this move, bypulling out a pink suit. But in reality he took a poor guy hiding from his wife in the hangers to blend in. He was forced to go and take family photo in pink suit, which he hated. It took Yama a few seconds to notice the poor fella in his hand. But the wife of the poor fella noticed faster than death himself

Dani BOT 06-Dec-21 04:06 PM

Dani couldn't keep up, from last nights chaos to today and laughing so freely with Yama was baffling to her. She looked at the poor man in the pink suit before her eyes found the mans wife. Dani replaced the suit she had pulled out from the rack. "Alright, let's go try some on then. I think pink would suit you perfectly." She laughed, her arms clutching her sides as she imagined Yama in a pink suit.

Yama The Pale Horseman BOT 06-Dec-21 04:09 PM

Yama nodded and went in the palce and put on the suit. He tried the black suit and came out to show off it to Dani. "Alright, I think we are done here. What's up next on the bucket list?"

Dani BOT 06-Dec-21 04:52 PM

Dani shook her head. "Just your clothes, that was the last on the list I planned. So maybe just head back to my apartment?" She walked up to the register and paid for the suit he had put on. His previous clothes being put into a bag for them to take with them.

Yama The Pale Horseman BOT 06-Dec-21 10:36 PM

The shopping was a foreign concept to Yama. He never understood the appeal for things like that. People have fun spending their money they worked so hard for. But still... he has nothing better to do, so he might as well just go along with it. Dani proposed that they head back to appartment. It was not like Yama knew anything better to do. He's been everywhere.... granted alone. And just to harvest souls

Dani BOT 06-Dec-21 10:55 PM

Yama didn't seem to object so Dani started to head for home but nearly a third of the length home she decided to take him to the movie theater instead. She hailed a taxi for them on the side of the road. They only had the one bag from them shopping and figured she could ask the consessions stand employee to hold it for them, she had done it before with her purse. Once at the theater she pointed at the different marquee signs. "Anything look interesting? You can pick the movie. This is way better the. On my television at home. And we can get popcorn!"

Yama The Pale Horseman BOT 06-Dec-21 11:31 PM

Yama looked at the movies and thought about it. It wasn't common for people to die at the theaters. As such. He didn't really see much of the movies. "Hmm... what about...... that one" Yama pointed at the movie Star Wars. The last Jedi. "I think that the movie from the old times would be nice. Many people die when they see new ones. Mainly from angry emotions so I guess it's far more healthy to step back" The original trilogy movie was what would peak his interest. It was rare for Yama to be interested in something. But he did like the idea to look at what people were so excited about back in a day

Dani BOT 06-Dec-21 11:41 PM

Dani grinned and paid for two tickets. She bought a large bag of popcorn with extra butter and some Snowdrop candies. She asked the worker on duty and sure enough they agreed to watch their items. Dani would offer the young dude a tip for it and then she lead Yama to the theater number on their ticket. "Pick anywhere you want to sit, I don't have a preference for front or back of the house." There were actually a surprising number of people here to see the last jedi, starwars forever being a popular movie.

Yama The Pale Horseman BOT 06-Dec-21 11:55 PM

Yama looked over the place. There were all kinds of people. Young old. Some were exited. Some other kids were unhappy. Stating, "Why must I watch this old booring crap" but overall most people seemed to be excited. Yama looked at the screen and then waited. The seats were empty in the middle. He looked carefully and noticed a nice place in the middle. Just right for best experience. "Let's go there. Also, Dana. Thank you. I actually never have been in a theater. So this is my first experience."

Dani BOT 07-Dec-21 12:00 AM

Dani made her way to their seats, quietly saying excuse me as they squished through. She tried her best not to touch people but sometimes it was hard on the narrow space between the rows. She finally made it to the spot Yama had pointed out and sat down. "You're welcome, I'm glad that you're getting to experience something like this." She offered him a smile and tilted the bag of popcorn toward him. "Want any? I know the movie hasn't started yet, but it should be soon." As if on cue the lights began to dim and the message about turning off cellphones came on the screen. Dani used her free hand to pull her phone out of her back pocket and did just so. She didn't want to be the jackals that interrupted any of the good scenes during the movie.

Yama The Pale Horseman BOT 08-Dec-21 03:50 AM

Yama took a sinlge popcorn and ate it. After he strted to watch the movie. With large interest might I add. He was like glued in place, immovable object. Yet, At that moment in the front rows, there was one jackass who was shouting out spoilers. Yama didn't like that one bit so he pulled out from his pocket a small pen and threw it at the man who was being an ass, and in such force that his feet went up and he flow to the front, right in front of the people, before the screen. Yama then changed his voice and made the deathly impression, just toned down to sound human and said "Ladies and gentleman, please applaud the author of the movie, who feels that he needs to give his comments on the scenes"

Dani BOT 08-Dec-21 02:53 PM

Dani shook her head, there were always guys like this at starwars films. When Yama was done a bunch of the people in the audience booed, Dani included. She ate more of the popcorn as the movie continued. But about halfway through she excused herself to go to the restroom. Before leaving she handed the bag to Yama. When she returned a few minutes later she almost tripped over someone's foot and she stumbled, almost landing in Yama's lap. She blushed with embarrassment and whispered. "Sorry." She pulled herself off and sat in her seat. Her heart hammering in her chest as she tried to focus on the movie.

Yama The Pale Horseman BOT 09-Dec-21 01:37 PM

To Yama, this small incident in reality meant almost nothing. It was just a simple bump on his knees. "Hey, are you alright? Be more careful, that's how most people die actually, they trip and die." Yama said with slight concern for Dani's health, while not trying to be too dramatic. "This looks really interesting, so that is what watching a cinema with friends is like. I find it interesting you know..."

Dani BOT 10-Dec-21 04:29 AM

Dani nodded, she honestly didn't go to the theater that often, working as a nurse her shifts ran long and when she was home all she had done was sleep, and when she wasn't working or sleeping she had been busy dealing with her ex's messes. Hearing Yama, she turned and looked at him, "Hm?" She looked at him curious about what he was thinking.

Yama The Pale Horseman BOT 10-Dec-21 07:23 AM

At some point in time, Yama started to seemingly become transparent. As if his body was vanishing. What happened in the reality was, there was actually a lot of death going on around in the world and he had to go and see each one of them to guide to other place. If it wasn't for him to being forced to stay here with Dani, nobody would notice it over time. Unfortunately one sharp eye had noticed that something was not right with Yama and decided to approach both him and Dani closely and tried to poke Yama. This was in fact a mistake, as after he tried to poke Yama, he had an instant heart attack which lead to the death of the poor fella. "Welll shit."

Dani BOT 10-Dec-21 09:24 AM

Dani watched as it appeared Yama was fading and looked worried. When someone came up and tried to touch him, and fell to the ground Dani's face went ashen. "Ah...what's going on? Are you okay?" She looked from the guy on the floor then back at Yama. They were still in public and Dani was unsure of what was happening but she knew whatever it was couldn't exactly be good. " She bent down, feeling for the guys heartbeat. Dani shook her head, it had been so sudden; she really hoped the man hadn't felt any pain.

Yama The Pale Horseman BOT 10-Dec-21 09:31 AM

Yama looked at the man who fell with a peaceful expression. "Don't worry Dana, he's dead." Not really a thing you would say for a person to not worry about, but for him, death was not entirely a bad thing, he saw it as a norm really. "That is exactly what happens when you touch death, with bare hands" Yama said as he looked at her and then took her by the hand At the next moment, both of them ended up in a house. "That is what I meant when I talked about no living person may touch me. They all simply go with me to afterlife. A small sideeffect of being me... I guess."

Dani BOT 10-Dec-21 09:41 AM

Dani frowned hearing Yama's words, it was a bit of a sad existence she thought but seeing as how it didn't bother Yama she didn't dwell on it. "Well, I guess it's good I'm not alive then, I guess." Dani hadn't realized they had teleported to a different location after Yama had taken her hand. But when it finally hit her that they were no longer in the same place Dani's eyes went wide. "Ah...w-what?" She spun around. "Where are we?"
