(Yess) Death: =M= if you do that one more time I will throw you across the room. Merrick: *giggling* (No child was harmed in the making. :3)

(He is an absolute cutie!) Death: *Yeats the child at the couch* ÒMÓ

(I might draw him) Death: *face palms* Merrick: precious

(Eeeee) Merrick: *he picks up the pan and hits his dad with it* NOT THE MAMA Death: I know /v\

Death: I may not be the Mama. I am the papa

Death: reee *runs after him*

Death: *catches him and picks up* hmph *sticks his tongue out at him* you're such a raskle

Death: hmmm *boops his nose*

Merrick: wanna pet Gracie? *petting the doggo* Death: *he puts Elijah down and sighs* go ahead kid.

Merrick: *runs her belly*

Rubs*

Merrick: I know she's absolutely precious. We should take her out for a walk.

(Awww) Merrick: *ruffles his hair* Mama, Dad can we take Gracie for a walk. (I just realized Merrick is like 11)

Merrick: we will. We promise. *He gets the leash and puts it on Gracie and opens the door* come on Eli.

Merrick: *he grabs his hand and walks out the door and closes the door behind him* it's always so nice outside. *he takes a deep breath*

Merrick: *he chuckles a little* What do you want to do while we're out little bro?

Merrick: alright. name your game

Merrick: child if you are making a face to answer me then you should remember that I'm legally blind. /w\

Merrick: hehe wow. *pats his head* not the mama

Merrick: Not the Mama!

( imagine somebody listening to them while walking down the street. They would be incredibly confused.)

Merrick: *he smiles* ah oh yeah. I won't really be home tomorrow.

Merrick: Zion invited me to hang out with him and the art club after school tomorrow.

Merrick: *pats his head* ^^"

Merrick: sorry.

Merrick: but I'll hang out with you a day after, though.

Merrick: how about I buy you a treat?

Merrick: alright. *he pets Gracie*

(I feel like Elijah would do a sneak and follow Merrick)

(Good bby boi) Merrick: hmm if I had to guess, it's almost time to go back home.

Merrick: okay ^^ -they walk home-

Merrick: we're home! Death: *cooking dinner* welcome back

Merrick: it was nice. We talked a bit. And Gracie was nice.

Merrick: I'll get her food. *he gets the dog food and pours it I. Her food bowl. Then gets her some water*

Merrick: good doggo. Death: foods almost ready so everyone get set at the table. Merrick: okay. *he sits at the table*

Death: *he puts the plants of food in front of them* bone appetit *he takes his seat* Merrick: Thanks dad. *he begins to eat*

Merrick: don't toucha' my spaghett!

Death: *He chuckles then eats* Merrick: what? *he shrugs smirking*

Merrick: why thank you. I try.

Merrick: couldn't have a better one. Death: doesn't seem like that'll ever change.

Death: *he puts the dishes in the sink and washes them* Merrick: *he gets up from the table and goes to his room*

Merrick: *he's drawing a portrait*

Merrick: *he's drawing his family from what he's been told they look like*

Merrick: well I like to imagine what I can't see. And it's a gift I guess.

Merrick: *continues to draw* hmm I wonder what will happen tomorrow

Merrick: hmmm *he show him the picture* what do you think?

Merrick: he why thank you

heh*

Merrick: ^w^ *he yawns* mmm

Merrick: tired?

Merrick: mm we should go to bed.

Merrick: *he puts him in bed and tucks him in* good night little bro.

Merrick: hm *he goes to his bed and soon falls asleep* -time skipples-

Merrick: *getting ready for school and trying to be super quiet*

Merrick: *he ends up tripping over one of Elijah's toy* FU-

(Elijah*)(XD he didn't finish it.) Merrick: oh gosh *he gets up* sorry...

(Oh) Merrick: sweet dreams *he goes downstairs to get some toast then walks out the door*

Death: *getting stuff for reaping*

(Oof) Death: oh good morning kid. *he hugs him* what's got you up so early?

Death: ah I see. Well you're mother is still resting.

Death: didn't expect you to be up so early.

Death: hmmm I can't leave you unsupervised. Oh do you want to join daddy on his job? (He won't him see any grusome messed up dead person )

Death: let's get you dressed then. *they get Elijah dressed*

Death: you wanna say bye to mama?

Death: *takes Elijah to their room and walks up to Raven* hey baby

Death: I'm about to go out okay. And I'll let you rest and take little Eli with me. I won't expose him to anything too graphic. I promise.

Death: we will. Sweet dreams *kisses her forehead* (Might go back to sleep)

(Very nice) Death: *he smiles back and picks up Elijah* come on kiddo, we have some work to do.

-so they set out on reaping souls for the day*

(Oof) Death: so who will be first today?... *he's looking on his death list* passed away by natural causes. This probably the most peaceful death you can get.

Death: yeetus to the nursing home. *Yeats away*

Death: *he chuckles a little* oh btw kid, we have a little spell on us kid so none of these people can really see us unless they are about to expire or already have.

Death: yup. I mostly decide where people go in the after life. You know heaven and hell.

-They get to the door- Death: *he takes out his scythe and puts Elijah down* stay right here until I tell you to come in. *pats his head*

Death: *he smiled and went in. After about 7 mins he came back out with and orb holding a soul in it* for an old soul they are a very energetic one. Wanna see?

Death: *he kneels down to his level and show him the soul*

Death: yup. Pretty cool. *he puts the orb away* we send them away at the end of the day.

Death: *picks him up*

Death: let's go. *they go off*

Death: koala cub?

Kooala*

Death: I am very confuzled. I don't have a koola cub. *he is much confusion*

Death: ooooooooh yeah you are. An adorable one too. ^^

Death: you're so precious. *the go to their next destination*

Death: hehe aw I'm gonna gmbe sad when both of my babies grow up.

Death: it's a part of life my child. ;w;

Death: /w\ a bird has to leave the nest. I mean Merrick is growing up. He used to be your size.

Death: I know child. It's okay. You'll understand soon.

Death: *kisses his forehead* heh but you're still my koala cub for now.

Death: oki doki next up the docks. *they go to the beach docks*

Death: it's better to not think too hard about. But yes. But I say it's not the worst.

Death: stay on the docks okay. *he dives in the water*

Death: *he comes up from the water not to long later with another orb* hey are you okay little on?

Death: Eli? *he picks him up*

Death: Elijah!

Elijah: *hugs him* what's wrong?

Death*) Death: explain.

(So our money has been wasted on the software so my dad is going to buy me a new one while I work to replace my grandma $187)

Death: *sighs* I understand... I shouldn't have brought this topic to you so early. I should've waited a few more years but I can't deny what reality...

(So I'm going to start doing commissions soon. Good news is I already have $52.98) Death: It's okay. I'll take you back home.

Death: I see. Alright. But we stay with the small ones first. Nothing gruesome until you're older.

Death: let's go to our next destination shall we?

-they're on their way- Death: have any ideas of where were going?

Death: hmmm didn't plan to do one of those with you with me.

Death: unless you are implying that you want to. But nobody really expires in a place like a park unless it's a stroke, cardiac arrest, severe allergies, or a freak incident.

Death: and a seizure. I was thinking more of a hospital.

(Oof) Death: hmmm kid mind. *pats his head and they soon get to the hospital* I honestly don't like these place. Half of the time you'll just see wondering spirits roam through the halls.

Death: I can't collect all of them, some begin to be labelled lost souls and therefore no longer have an identity. So it no longer becomes my problem.

Death: it is... but there is someone to take care of them.

Death: well there are different people called guardians that are in charge of keeping certain things aligned. The one who takes care of this one is named Shino. But like I said there are many others.

-as they walk the halls they notice others roaming-

Death: that's what I'm talking about

Death: *he stops at a door and puts Eli down* here we are.

Death: *nods and goes into the room*

Lost soul: *stops and looks at him and puts their hand up as to say hi*

Lost soul: ah...uh... k-kinda...

Lost soul: I c@n't... @|₩@ys s-speak

Lost Soul: how c-c0m3... y0u c@n see u-us?

Lost Soul: i$ th@t s-s0? What's ?#&^ name?

Lost Soul: n-n!ce name... I th!nk m-my...name... Maki? I c@n't... rememb3r...

Maki: Th-Thank y0v... Is... that D3@th !n... ro0m?

Maki: You'll be l3aving $00n huh?

Maki: It w@s nice while !t last3d....

Maki: unl!k3ly..... *puts head down* but m@/be I w0n't f0rg3t...

Maki: *she hesitantly hugs back* (I'd say Maki looks like a sleep deprived 15 year old with dull eyes, a long sleeve sweater black with white leggings and a few cuts on her)

Maki: heh... okay... Death: *he comes out of the room and puts away the soul* hm?

Death: and who may that be? Mika: *she disappeared before he could look at her*

Death: *he picks him up* And who exactly was this Mika?

(she overdosed on sleeping medication. It was not her intentions, and committed an accidental suicide. She ended up being taken to the hospital by her parents when she was half conscious and died there an hour later.)

Death: Aw I see. What did you two talk about?

(awww She's precious. But that's why she looks sleep deprived. She was always incredibly stressed.) Death: A lot of souls fear my presence. She probably just panicked. She was probably more comfortable with you. Not only because you're half angel but you also have child like wonder in your soul. I don't blame her. I understand.

Death: Maybe, though it is less likely that she'll be able to leave the radius of where she expired. Especially since she's becoming corrupted.

(Mika: *causiously hugs back*)

Death: But she could move around with the guardian. But she's not completely corrupted there's a chance of fixing her.

(Mika: *gives you head pats* Me: *joins*)

Death: I could request for Shino to help. But it would take time. And ....possibly a sacrifice... but that's something for later.

(Mika: !-!t's fin3....)

Death: I'll take you back here to try and visit her if it helps.

Death: *smiled* it's settled then

Death: we just have a few more runs then we'll be on our way home.

-time skipples to a few hours later-

Death: *he opened the door back home* Merrick: *isn't there yet but we'll be there shortly*

Death: Their out I guess... Well lets put you to bed. *he walks upstairs to the children's room*

Death: *he tucks him into bed and kisses his forehead* sweet dreams little one.

Death: *he gives Elijah his monster plush* cute. *he goes out the room and turns of the lights and waits for the rest of his family gets home*

Death: Oh welcome back baby.

Death: is Merrick and Gracie with you.

Death: ah I see. I'm sure he'll be here shortly.

Death:okay babe *he sits on the couch*

(I'm looking for art colleges that main in media arts. But a lot of them are in the Carolina's and California. Which is all the way across the country from where I live.)

Death: Elijah already fell asleep.

Death: He did pretty well. He did panic a bit about someone drowning but he handled it very well non-the-less. Oh and he made a friend with a lost soul.

Death: supposedly the souls name is Maki but they disappeared when they saw me.

Death: where have you heard that name?

Death: that's interesting. What did she look like?

Death: We'll have to ask Elijah If that's how she looked.

Merrick: *he opens the door with his house keys* Later Z! Zion: bye Angel. (take that as you please.) Merrick: *he walks through the door* I'm back.

Merrick: hello. Death: Welcome back kid. Don't be too load, your little brother is sleeping. Merrick: noted. *he's happy but tired*

Merrick: Well we did a lot. We went to the arcade, I mainly played skee ball. We went to the park. We drew some stuff and talked about our characters and their stories. We even went out to eat. Death: It sounds like you had fun.

Merrick: *nods and yawns * mhm

Merrick: Mhm good night mama. Good night Dad. *he goes upstairs to fall asleep* Death: good night

Merrick: *hugs him in his sleep and mumbled* it's... okay...

-time skipples-

Merrick: *he's already up, brushing his teeth*

Merrick: *he gives him a quick hug back then finishes brushing his teeth* good morning lil bro.

Merrick: no problem. But what scared you last night?

Merrick: oh gosh. I'd never let that happen to you...

(My mom just got the Covid-19. But she's Asymptomatic so she doesn't feel it but can pass it to someone else.)

Merrick: really. It's better not to dwell on it.

Merrick: *pats his head* you're going to be okay.

(But I'm not worried because I refuse to let my year be worse than it already is. I also got God so, it's my job to help but worry so as I said before, screw Carona!) Merrick: come on let's just go get breakfast.

(I'm triggered). Merrick: *holds his hand and walks downstairs*

(Kk)

(Idk) Death: *cooking breakfast* Merrick: good morning dad. Death: good morning you two, breakfast is almost done.

Death: yes. But she'll be back soon. *he sets the food on the table and puts Elijah in his seat* Merrick: I see *he sits down*

Death: *he takes his seat* eat up *he starts to eat*

Merrick: thanks *he eats* Death: so what are you kids up to today?

Merrick: Maki? Death: It's a friend of his. A lost Soul

Merrick: interesting. Death: it wouldn't hurt

-soon they finish eating and decide to go on their way to the hospital-

Merrick: so what did Mika look like?

Death: hm you know your mother mentioned knowing her. Or just a bit.

Death: yup. We can talk to her about it when she comes back home. -they soon arrive on the hall Elijah saw her in-

Death: I'll be back. *he walks off so she'd show but not too far away* Maki: *she appears sitting against the wall and looks up at him and waves*

Maki: I s3e. H3ll0. Merrick: oh um hi.

Maki: oh... um... okay I gu3$$. 8ut !t'$ nice to see $ome0n3. Merrick: I can understand

Maki: wh@t !$ it?

Maki: hmmm Raven? Bl@ck h@!r and Silv3r eyes? Merrick: mhm that's our mom. Makil: I kn0w h3r

Merrick: *sits in front of her* Maki: You could say that. We worked together a lot.

Maki: w@!t sh3 d-did? Merrick: mhm it's a long story.

Maki: Jacob? *sighs* I n3ver trusted h!m... I t0ld her h3 w@s ba# news...

Maki: we|| He j^st didn'| sit well with m3. She k3pt tr/ing to m@k3 us friends.

Merrick: ugh I hope he burns! Maki: But I c0uldn't ch@nge her thoughts... I d0n't think he liked m3 either.

Maki: s33ms so... 8ut... *she looked at her hands* ...... I sh0uldn't #@v3 left.... Merrick: It's okay

(Gn) Maki: *she looked up* Ray Ray?! I-It r3@lly is you! *she tears up* Merrick: aww it's a little reunion.

(That's possible. Huhehue but Death might get in trouble for breaking the rules and reaping someone's soul to early) Maki: *she got up and hugged her*

(But I'm willing to let it happen)

Maki: *she sighs* !t's okay... I $h0uld have done mor3. I would have fought him 8ut I th0ught you would d!so₩n m3. I thought I would l0se my only friend... Death: *he's eavesdropping* (I like problems. 0w0 When will you learn? When will you learn that you're actions have consequences! :3)

(Don't worry about it 0v0) Maki: Ai I don't think yu0 w3r3 the only 0n3...

Maki: he talked to many people with his so called "charms". He tried it on me once. But it didn't work cause heck !'m always so tired. Jeez it was the de@th of m3.

Maki: I didn't have time to gush about s0meon3 else. There ₩ere more important things to worry abo=t but I did spy on h!m a bit. He might have noticed m3...

(*gives head pats*)

Maki: but there's n0th!ng I c@n do no₩... I'm sorry...

Maki: r-really?

Maki: I d0n't know about th@t... I'll soon f0rg3t 3verything...

Maki: ......... *she looks down* thank you for being my friend.......

Maki: hey no problem. *pats her head* y0u still grew to be great th0ugh. Your ch!ldren are wonderful. And I'm $ure your hu$sb@nd !s to0. H3 ju$t intimidate$

(Me too ;3; I wanna save her.)

Maki: no I'll be f!n3 k33p your wings. Death: *he's thinking* we could try.

Maki: we can still meet here until then. It's okay.

Maki: I'll hold 0n @s long as ! Can.

(I'M OFFENDED! THEY'VE OBVIOUSLY NEVER BEEN NEAR ONE SO WHO GIVES THEM THE RIGHT? MY PITBULL IS THE SWEETEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN. And all the other pit bulls I've met are absolute sweethearts.)

Maki: *wipes her tears*

(Just because it's big doesn't mean it's mean. It all depends on how the owner treats and trains the dog.)

(Precious babies) Maki: I know. And maybe we'll find a way.

(Don't make the puppies fight TmT) Maki: I'll _%> n0t to

(Greedy people) Maki: *smiles back*

Maki: *she let's go* I'm glad

Maki: I'll c3rt@inly try.

Maki: no problem friend

Merrick: okay Mama. Mako: see you soon.

Death: I got some business to take care of. I'll join you later. Merrick: *gets up* shall we go?

(Eeyup.) Death: now, Time to get some work done. *he teleports to his new destination, Jacob's house*

(You evil heathen! He does deserve it!) Death: *he appears as a shadowy figure. He looked at them* poor things....

Death: It's okay, I'm not here for you or her. You two will be safe. (I gtg for a while. Brb)

Death: a man named Jacob.

(Oh noes Mine skip months It's a medical condition) Death: I see. It's going to be alright.

Death: I can only assume these bruises are from him.... am I correct?

Death: you won't have to worry about getting anymore.

Death: I 'll get my friend (Life) to heal them. Now I must be on my way.

Death: thank you ma'am and I'm sorry. *he pulls out his scythe and walks towards the kitchen*

Death: *ahem* well Hello Jacob. It seems you're about to meet an untimely fate.

Death: well let's put it short. I've come to reap your soul. You know the usual when someone dies but you are a special case "friend".

Death: *he chuckles a little* you're having fun aren't you? Well guess what? I'mma have fun too. An eye for an eye is eye philosophy.

Is my philosophy*

(Poor child *huggles*)

Death: *he twitched and shook his head* it's not any of your concern you sadist.

Death: *he smiled* well let me inform you that satisfaction isn't apart of my job.

Death: heh you're such a poor fool. (He has decided that rather than get angry he finds enjoyment in the fact that he gets to send them where they deserve)

Death: let me tell you you're an idiot tearing apart at the seams.
