[For those in the plaza, they may see Grell lounging on the edge of the clothing shop roof. She's just sitting, filing her nails and giving herself a manicure, watching people down below, but since Grell can't come into town without ruining someone's day, she pops the journal open to do just that.]

It seems the dead and nearly dead are coming back, hm? I say this every draft, so I do hate to sound like a broken record, but it also seems that none of you have quite figured out the trick of not getting yourselves killed out there.

Honestly, I've never seen a village so small so terrible at simply not dying. Just because you get a lovely free pass back from the afterlife doesn't mean you should abuse your privilege.





Do you have any idea how much paperwork I have to do now? It's awful.

They are rather pathetically crap at it, aren't they.

Bonus points if it's because of "ideals."

[voice]

[deadlyjuliet]

Oh, don't even get me started. It's as if they think my job is easy.

[Voice]

[mountain_sage]

[Well, seeing as how this sage has seen the horrs out there and is still rather shaken, he may sound more angry than usual.]

Grell. I don't think you understand the magnitude of the situation we faced out there.

[Voice]

[deadlyjuliet]

Oh, I understand, sweetheart - I was there. I just don't see how people can keep throwing themselves to the hounds after all this time.

[Voice]

[justicereigns]

A pity more of them don't sign up for self-defense classes.

Though I'm not sure how much it'd help against a zombie plague.

Still working?

[Voice]

[deadlyjuliet]

Considering most of these people were bitten? A little self-defence wouldn't hurt their chances.

[She sighs]

After coming back, I've been swamped. I used to think being in the small country villages would decrease my work, too.

[voice]

[generalflirt]

Ah... and some gross cross dresser [Because no natural woman has that voice] is giving us advice on living?

[It's, perhaps, a bit more pointed than he might have done otherwise. But... well. Cheap shot for cheap shot]

[voice]

[deadlyjuliet]

Rude. I do not cross-dress.

[Not when it isn't time for parties, at least.]

I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss the source simply because you have a little prejudice, sweetheart.

[Voice]

[selphie_t]

[Grell. There are some days where Selphie likes you and there are days where she really wants to punch you in the face. Today is one of the latter.]

So next time we have to fight off Third Party goons and a virus at the same time, we'll make sure to live just because you said so.

[Voice]

[deadlyjuliet]

I would think you would want to live because you wanted to live, but if I need to tell you, so be it.

[Voice]

[4starsavior]

Could be worse! I know a guy who has to do paperwork for everyone in the universe who dies!

[Voice]

[deadlyjuliet]

Oh my Lord, how does he not die from the stress of it.

[voice]

[spohkh]

Indeed? What manner of job do you posses that would require you to keep records of such events?

[voice]

[deadlyjuliet]

Let's see if you can figure it out, hm~? I'm sure you're smart enough to do that.

[Video]

[windandrain]

[Saori blinks in surprise at the camera, taking in the picture and the words. She's meandering through town, as usual, but something about the way this woman speaks...it sounds familiar. Not in an 'I know you' sort of way, but in an 'I've heard these sorts of comments before' way. So with that in mind, she decides to respond, and investigate. Her voice is tinged with curiosity, but there's a definite edge to it.]

If you were there, you might not be so quick to mock. Though, if the deaths caused you paperwork, I'd be curious to know your occupation.

[Video]

[deadlyjuliet]

Everyone assumes I missed the action, but no, I was there. I simply have the sense to be on the right side of Death.

[She shrugs. She was there, just not where most could see.]

Everyone is also curious to my work, but I would think that would be self-evident.

[Coulson is only idly going through the journal after just coming back to Luceti (probably from being dead) when this catches his eye.

Not sure if offended or intrigued.

At any rate, this is another person who has paperwork that deal with someone unexpectedly coming back to life. Do you work for SHIELD?]

The paperwork is always pretty bad around this kind of situations.

[SHIELD has paperwork for everything, including the (supposedly) impossible.]

[voice]

[deadlyjuliet]

[fffffffffffff If only she did.]

It only becomes worse when you have the dead coming back to life, getting second, third, fourth, fifth chances. Honestly, if Will ever returns he shall have such a headache trying to sort this place properly.

[voice]

[idealism]

[Afterlife? Paperwork? He is so pinged you have no idea.]

Why are you doing paperwork?

[voice]

[deadlyjuliet]

[Her frustration bleeds through now.]

Because every bloody idiot in this compound keeps dying and the Malnosso or whoever else it is keeps snatching them up before I can get to them! It's a constant loop that breaks every single rule in the book - and I'm not even for the rules usually - but that means more paperwork and MORE paperwork and I swear my skin is parching from the amount of paper I've had to touch since coming here!

[Voice]

[de_bel_survivor]

[He's glad he never have to do paperwork. Being the demon king have its perk.]

Paperwork that covers death? Sound like one of those interesting things that'll end up mundane and tedious after a while.

[Voice]

[deadlyjuliet]

Paperwork was never interesting. I prefer field work, but even field officers have to file eventually. Ugh, it's awful.

[Voice]

[geniustheveil]

[Have a serious-looking Sailor Mercury in the picture window of the journal. This is something that needs to be said from a senshi, not the young woman.]

You should already understand that although they return, the price isn't cheap. And to a human, death is the end of something precious. You should be patient with that.

[tenminutes]

Why would you do paperwork?

[Action]

[lostinmyway]

[Grune actually misses Grell's entry altogether--which is probably for the best, really. Instead, once she ambles her way in to the central plaza, she spends about twenty minutes watching the fountain, watching the people, watching the fall leaves, and watching empty space. She's just about to shift over to watching the clouds when she notices that, hey! She has company!]

Hello, Grell! Isn't it such a nice day?

[voice]

[nothisbrother]

They are pretty pathetic at staying alive, aren't they? They're as careless and as idiotic as the people in the actual afterlife itself. Except for Otonashi and God of course. [Well. His afterlife at least. This is what he's talking about.]

And since when have people had to fill out paperwork for the deaths of others here?
