Tsubaki shivers."M-my time? That's not possible...I mean...I've kept good care of my body...." She says, shaking.

I look at the boy and unsheathe both katanas

[Tyki]

supertinyking said
"Sounds great!" One warrior yells. This causes a roar from the 30 men.

"you'll most likely all die multiple times" he says evenly, not wanting to get their hopes up about survival before adding "and solaire's going to be staying here with delta"

The boy shifts slightly, before a skeletal hand slowly emerges from the cloak. Clasped in it is a hourglass. All of the sand has gone, there is no time left. "And yet, the hourglass does not lie. Maybe it was strings pulled by gods, if they exist here. Maybe it's just plain bad luck. But you're meant to die, right now." He sighs. "I'm sure you're thinking of running, hiding, fighting, but listen. Death is natural. Everything dies in the end. There's no way to stop this from happening. So why don't you make this easy for me, and come quietly? I'd really hate to have to drag you to the underworld kicking and screaming..."

"I..I......Is there any way around it? A deal, or maybe a challenge?" She asks. "How about a riddle challenge? IF you get it right...I'll go easily...if you lose....hmm....." Tsubaki starts, thinking, She then grins. "If I win, you fill my hour glass so that both parts are full." She says.

I step in front of him. Katanas at the ready "screw the hourglass. Let her live."

[Wraithblade6]

Tyki said
"no... it's just a tent and a fire" she replies, looking at him like he were the weird one as she allows him to move her with little resistance

Damien stops and facepalms. "We're doomed."

"No. I'm not so foolish as to take such a bet. The last reaper who did that ended up having to be best friends with a evil little girl and an idiot boy, and it was torture. So no. Just who do you take me for, Grim? I'm taking your soul, no way around it. Just accept your fate." The boy then looks at Kishin. "You would want me to upset the natural order of things? And for what? Some girl?" He scoffs. "No, I do believe you are meddling in things that do not concern you."

Off in his world, still sorting out the massive genocide Darkside set off, and mumbling to himself whether or not he should just smash Darkside's wonky hourglass and claim his soul right now for this mess, Grim freezes, and looks around. "Some'n just insulted me intelligence..." He says. He then gets back to work, guiding the souls to the underworld.

"but like i said, vampires and werewolves know better than to attack a priestess of the night" she replies, seeming to have unwavering faith in her status as a priestess of the night even though most people would be scared shit less in her position while she let's him think on that as she walks back over to her camp

"I don't care." I say "I'm not gonna let you kill her."

[Akihisa Yoshii]

kishin asura said
"I don't care." I say "I'm not gonna let you kill her."

"And how will you stop me? Would you do battle with the grim reaper, he who has reaped the souls of many, including those far stronger than either of you? All this talk is a waste of time. Death is an unavoidable part of life, so treat it as such. Tolerate it, and let me do my job." The boy-reaper replies.

"I'll make you a deal. I will say a statement about death. If it's true, you take my soul. If it's false, you take tsubaki's soul." I hold out my hand "deal?"

"......Fine....I guess I have no ch-" She starts, before a trapdoor opens beneath her, and she falls down it. Then, the sound of a teleporter activating can be heard.

I look in her direction just as she falls through ".....neat." I say "I gotta get me one of those..."

The reaper makes no move. "Listen closely. I'm not making deals. I'm not cutting any slack. I'm not letting anybody live. I must take Tsubaki's soul, and that is what I shall do. Do not try to stop me, lest I drag you back to the underworld as well." He advances on Tsubaki, finding her missing. "Eh?" He looks down at the trapdoor. "...Oh fuck all kinds of duck..." He says, losing the intimidating tone in his voice as he becomes deflated in his manner. "Another goddamn runner..."

I grin "oh well." I say "might as well give up now."

The boy sigh. "To be perfectly honest, I'm not the reaper. Yet. I don't have any of the powers, so I can't chase her. I only knew she was here because this is her home and my father told me... And getting here almost costed me my body... Oh well, dad will get her later. Can't run from Grim." The boy says. He pulls off the cloak as flesh and blood flow onto his bones, and he looks human once more. He's wearing a hoodie and grey pants. "So, hi, my name is Grim Jr. Up here I'm known as Chris, but since you already know I'm son of the reaper there's no need to hide it."

"I'm kishin." I say "now don't get in my way. I will kill your father if necessary."

The boy looks at you. He laughs. And laughs. And laughs. You think if he wasn't kind of not alive he'd die from laughing so much, as he rolls along the floor, laughing for what seems like an hour.
