Behold her angry face

[acapriciousthing]

This is Death. I'm back.

[And she's pissed, not to put too fine a point on it]

And I need to know everything we have on what they've done.

[Does she really need to say who they are?]

Though I suppose How dare they? is best directed at the ones who are behind it.

Um? I don't... really understand what you mean?

Or how a person can be Death...

[acapriciousthing]

I'm a bit like the Arcana. Just with less juvenile views on mortal lives.

[whatspringislike]

Juvenile views? Now I really don't understand...

[acapriciousthing]

They haven't outgrown the idea that playing games with mortal lives is appropriate.

[whatspringislike]

That's just something people do when they have power.

[acapriciousthing]

The Arcana aren't people. And they're old enough to know better.

[whatspringislike]

But - everyone's been saying - not all people are human.

[acapriciousthing]

There's not human and then there's not people. They're ideas, and if ideas aren't careful they don't consider what's right for people.

[whatspringislike]

So... are gods people?

What other kinds of things that aren't people are there?

[he's thinking of something specific]

[acapriciousthing]

Gods are another category. They need people to believe in them so they can keep existing, which the Arcana don't.

[No easy out like that]

It takes more than just a little immortality to really get into not people territory.

[whatspringislike]

What about... something like Angels?

[He still doesn't know enough to know how different his definition of that word is.]

[acapriciousthing]

They usually try to be apart, but they tend to pick up a bit of human along the way.
