So like, is Death a cool nickname or do you rock the whole scythe and cloak look?

[If Death doesn't have a neat cloak and a scary looking scythe what's the point, honestly.]

[thelast]

[Oh god. Her favorite question.]

Neither. But I get that a lot when people see me for the first time.

[Sorry to disappoint, but she's really not.]

[spellslots]

I guess that's fair, you don't exactly look like the Death I know. Grim Reaper? That terms might not be interchangeable where you're from.

[thelast]

Oh yeah, it definitely is. Grim Reaper, Fourth Horseman, there's a laundry list of them.

[re: titles she didn't ask for.]

Death is just fine for me though; or, if that's too weird for you, my network ID works too.

[spellslots]

You've lost me at the horseman,
I'll be honest!

But I'm chill with Death, simple and straight to the point. I'm Taako, which I guess you can read for yourself.

This was probably a bit rude, huh? You're just not my first death, in any sense of the word. I was curious.

[thelast]

Nah, I don't think it's rude if you're just curious. You're fine.

I don't get to talk to people like this that often, actually.

You're not going to become one of my regulars, are you?

[She only has a small handful and one of them left not too long ago.]

[spellslots]

Like when they're not dying, you mean?

And nah, my way to get resurrected is currently missing and not even in this reality so if I die it's gonna happen for keeps. Which would suuuuuper suck, I'll be trying to avoid that one.

[thelast]

Exactly that. The last conversation isn't usually one people like to have.

Surprise, I know.

That much? So what's the Taako counter halted at?

[spellslots]

Oh yeah, I feel that. There's a reason Kravitz is real bad at regular people conversation.

Nineteen! Eight through resurrection,
Eleven from tine travel groundhog day bullshit.

[thelast]

Kravitz a friend of yours or your universe's Death?

That's quite the record! Even for time magic.

[spellslots]

Yes :) He's the grim reaper, works for the Raven Queen, she's the goddess of life and death.

We had a busy hour. And my friend is the sort of dipshit who really got into the whole 'death doesn't matter' thing.

[thelast]

So she's my counterpart there. I do like the name though. No one gives me nice ones like that anymore.

[Having reapers are so popular??]

Amazing how those people can turn out to be good friends. Were you trying to help them?

[spellslots]

She might be? Are you divine?

[It's a genuine question, because she could be something different, since as far as Taako knows, the Raven Queen doesn't bother with showing up to talk to people when they die.]

He's a giant pain in my ass is what he is. [He loves Magnus.] We were helping, yeah, had to fix a mess we started in the first place.

[thelast]

Godlike? No. Gods come and go. I'm the personification of Death itself. Lesser known fun fact: I also give life and am present at every birth and death of every living thing.

People really don't pay attention to that part though.

[Fear of dying makes her job challenging.]

Magnus sounds like a friend my brother made. I like him already.

[spellslots]

Well. Huh. I know the Raven Queen does some life shit as well, she's like... the natural order of things, you know? Not just thugs dying.

Is everyone just kinda hung up on the part where they hold you responsible for their deaths?

[It's a guess, but not completely out of left field. He's had a few conversations with Kravtiz, enough to pick up that blame is a big part of it. Blame and bargaining.]

He's here if you ever wanna say hi. Big dude, sweet sideburns, talks about dogs a lot, would throw himself in front of a bullet for a complete stranger. He's hard to miss.

[thelast]

Many do. It only lasts for so long. There's not a lot of time to hang around when they have places to go.

I'd love to meet him.

[She'd love to meet everyone tbh.]

You must be pretty jazzed about having others you know from home, huh?

[spellslots]

Do you hang around the astral plane or whatever you call it as well, or is it just the ferrying?

We'll get coffee or something! Just hey, if you get a sense that he's died a few times maybe don't mention it? Cause he doesn't remember and we're trying to break it to him gently.

[Aside from Cisco, who already knew a lot, Taako hasn't really shared too much of Magnus's stuff with anyone, but there's a potential for awkwardness here that he'd like to avoid.]

It's pretty great. It was just me for a few months and that was fucking weird after a century in close quarters with these dipshits. We're only missing three of the crew now. You got anyone from home?

[thelast]

I've used it from time to time, but mostly I'm either with the dead or in my own realm. Well. Until I got here anyway.

[Not having access to her home is a first. Fully engaging mortals is making up for it though.]

My lips will be sealed except for the coffee.

A few, but most of them don't know about me. Means I'll get to make some new faces int friendly ones though.

[spellslots]

That sounds like, super boring. Please let me take you somewhere cool.

[It's a similar kind of approach he plans to take with Kravtiz, once (if) things work out.]

🤔 Do you mean you're the Death from their reality?

[thelast]

Anywhere cool is fine with me! This whole moon's been nice so far.

Right. They're from different places and times in their life, but that seems very common here. It is nice to see familiar faces none the less.

[spellslots]

It's not terrible as far as moons go. How do you feel about dancing?

I guess that makes sense, must be kinda weird though huh? You know when they're gonna bite it?

[thelast]

I do love to dance. Keeping up with the new ones that come along is always fun!

Nah, I've had much weirder. When and where and how, yep. The whole shebang. I'd be
kind of a shitty anthropomorphic personification of death if I didn't.

[spellslots]

They do change a lot.

[He's only been around a few centuries, but it's enough to go through a few different styles.]

That's a lot of big words. [He had to google at least one of them.] Not the why, though? That seems like the most important detail 🤔🤔🤔🤔

[He's joking, hence the emojis.]
