Log;

Edmund is actually at work tonight - he hopes a member of his family might show up, but he's also wondering who else might show up. He's made sure that he's well staffed for the extra crowds and well stocked, no less.

He just hopes nothing gets out of control.

And of course, that a member of his family shows up, looking for him.

If rationalizing it that way makes you happy, then go for it. Sometimes it's just a matter of principle, though.

Sure it does. You think I like watching you do that shit to yourselves? You're like the definition of "why we can't have nice things". We hand you a diamond and we're not even a quarter of the way through telling you how special it is before you've gone and shoved it up your nose. But like I said, it takes all kinds. And for the ones who really fuck it up, there's natural selection.

[Suddenly, getting that nicotine fix doesn't sound so appealing.]

Sorry. I'll try to take better care of that diamond next time.

Don't feel too bad. A lot of people have fucked it up a lot worse than you. And all of you have the right to make your own mistakes. It just gets a little tedious from my perspective because as a species you have this knack for making the same ones over, and over, and over.

We're real clever that way.

D'you want another drink?

[and_identity]

It doesn't actually do anything for me. Can you imagine if it did? Bad enough I already never hear the end of the platypus thing. If alcohol worked, every single damn thing people thought was strange would be "oh, well, Life must've been pretty tanked when she came up with that one."

On the other hand, it's fun to be charmed and appreciated. So sure, that'd be great. I like it when cute guys buy me drinks.

What's wrong with platypuses?

[Either Life thinks he's cute or she's yanking his chain. Not that it matters. He slides his last bottle of try-to-sneak-back-to-the-afterlife beer her way. (True story: alcohol doesn't travel well between dimensions, at least not when it's hidden in a coat.)]

Death doesn't mind?

[and_identity]

They're mammals that lay eggs and look funny. Yes, I was fucking with you guys when I came up with it. No, it's not funny the trillionth time I hear about it.

[She shrugs, accepting the bottle more as a concession than because she's really thirsty. Because of course, she's not.]

Do you really think you pose a romantic threat to a guy who's going to exist until the end of eternity?

[practicingforhell]

I like 'em okay.

Shit, no. Just don't wanna get in the way if he's a jealous type.
