It would seem I owe many of you something of an apology. Even I'm not immune to whatever it was that changed our ages, and for some of us our memories.

That attitude and simplistic way of understanding was one I was glad to leave behind a very, very, very long time ago. It never really helped anyone, least of all me.

I wasn't lying about one thing, though: I am Death.

You can still call me Didi, if you'd like.

Not at all. I rather like new life.

I guess it's better than death. A lot better. Even if they can be loud.

[ahappyending]

I like it when things have potential.

Is it hard for you when you have to take kids then? [ Not asking for any specific reason (yes she is) ]

video

[ahappyending]

Not particularly. Everyone has their time. When it comes, I'm there.

Children and kings come to me all the same.

video

[booyahh]

I don't get that, the whole everyone has their time thing. Accidents or being killed aren't really having a time. It's having someone cut your time.

[ahappyending]

What makes you sure that wasn't how it was supposed to go all along?

video

[booyahh]

Because I'd rather not think we're predestined for everything.

video

[ahappyending]

Maybe not everything.

But everyone has a time.

[booyahh]

If that was his then whoever designs it sucks!

Re: video

[ahappyending]

I'm sorry, Traci. I really am. But it's not designed to be fair.

Re: video

[booyahh]

Well, that's stupid! It's always the good people that end up dying, the ones that didn't even do anything except try to help everyone else.

Re: video

[ahappyending]

Maybe there's not as much meaning in heroism if heroes can't ever die.

video

[booyahh]

There's just as much meaning in heroism if heroes aren't dying. He still would have been a hero even if he hadn't done that stupid self sacrificing stupid thing.

video

[ahappyending]

I'm afraid some people would disagree.

I take the virtuous and wicked alike, Traci. Everyone's equal when it comes to me.

video

[booyahh]

Everyone shouldn't be equal. It's not fair. You should have taken all the people who attacked us instead.

Re: video

[ahappyending]

Should I have?

You don't think their friends and families were hoping the exact same about you? Should I listen to one, then, over the other?

I can't make moral judgments in my job, Traci. That's just not in the cards.

Re: video

[booyahh]

It's hard to care too much about a super-villains friends and family, especially when their goal was to kill and cause as much destruction as possible just for kicks.

Re: video

[ahappyending]

I don't expect you to. But they exist, don't they?

I don't judge. I never will. Whatever judgment exists in this life comes afterwards.

Re: video

[booyahh]

Does that actually exist at least? Judgement? Do good people get good things after? [ Can she hope for that at least? ]

Re: video

[ahappyending]

I can't tell you that. Traci. There are some things the living don't get to know.

What do you hope exists?

Re: video

[booyahh]

I don't know. Something better than what they ended up with.

Re: video

[ahappyending]

Cities of gold? Pure white fluffy clouds? Eternal rest?

You need to have faith in whatever you believe, or want to believe, happens afterwards.

Re: video

[booyahh]

I...don't know really. [ And now she just looks even more depressed. ] Maybe just whatever would make them happy in an afterlife, whatever that is.

Re: video

[ahappyending]

Maybe that's what they get.
