[B] "I'm wondering how of our special friends think as Reapers that our jobs will enable us to give others an extension? I don't think that's our job. No I believe that our job might be a bit more esoteric at first as we study what it means to be a Reaper. I'm sure we won't be immediately given the power to Reap Souls. That would be like training cops to be cops by saying "Here's your Badge, Gun an Handcuffs, now go fight crime" No I think the initial training period will quickly weed out those lacking the required skills, abilities and motivation [/B] she says as she leans back in her seat and ponders things a moment [B]I've always been stalked by death and I often wondered why as so many people died around me that I was left unscathed? I counted them once; 745 people have died by train accident, fire, auto and other disastrous manners and often I was in their midst an not even a scratch.[/B] she turns and looks at Marcus her expression cold and hollow [B]You'll not die anytime soon so there's at least that. Please call me Grace, I was given the name when as an infant I was found as the only survivor of a train crash. They never found out my real name and to tell the truth I don't think it matters. Since I was young I've sensed when death was near and as I got older I could see it. When death is close I see a kind of black inky smoke surround a person. I've never told anyone this because to do so would have had me on medication. They love to drug Foster kids, keeps us easy to manage. You can go chat if you'd like but me I have a hard time being friendly because I worry that as soon as I like someone they will die horribly. No I'll sit here and weigh my options and observe No offense it has been nice chatting with you but crowds seem to increase the chance of disaster where I'm concerned[/B]
