She walked around the corridors of the cult and even the in the outside forest. This was a normal activity for her, walking to enjoy nature's tranquility and the architecture of the cult's mansion. This time she had an actual purpose though, she was looking for a certain cultist. A reaper, according to others. Unfortunately she kind of forgot his name, since they hadn't really interacted much. "Nommen! Was it Nommen? I think it was Nommen. Nommen! Are you around here?" she yelled.

The scuttling and scratching of tiny claws against the floor echoed around her. From in front, a few rodents scampered out. They stopped a mere inch in front of her presence.
"Twig...Branch...Oh there you are."
The voice of the reaper soon came behind her; the rats ran around her and burried themselves back under his cloak.
"Oh...I'm sorry. They didn't scratch you did they?"

She couldn't help frowning when she noticed the rats. She resisted the strange urge to step on them and squish their guts, it was a feeling she had since she was human. Anyway, she looked at Nommen. "Oh there you are." she said. She hadn't really planned what she was going to say. "So..you're a reaper right?" she asked, although she already knew the answer she just wanted confirmation.

A click and a clack of his neck, spine and cranium nodded.
"I am indeed...that doesn't mean I am forbidden from having friends." he looked up at Bonebon almost...sweetly.
It was hard to tell with such minimal facial features.
"What is your reason for seeking me...This is new, I am usually the one seeking others."

She didn't know what to feel at his sweet (?) tone. In the meantime she just smiled, a little awkwardly. "You're a reaper so you collect souls of the dead right? You can talk to the dead right?" she asked him. Originally she had ouija boards when she wanted to talk to the dead but then he came along and she thought he was kind of a talking ouija board. Spelling out what you want to say letter by letter gets tiring you know.

Nodding, he relaxed his shoulders.
"I am a reaper...and I do collect souls. I only escort them."
He gestured toward his body to indicate he has no where to collect and store souls.
"Most times they never want to talk, it gets pretty lonely." he nodded in agreement with himself. "I have some who try to talk to those I escort, but it never turns out well for the initiator."

She had a hand on her chin, processing what he just said. "What happens to the initiator?" she asked. If it was just some spook then she'd be fine, ghosts don't scare her. I mean they can barely even touch her. But if somehow they possess someone then that's when we have a problem. 'Do I even need to talk to them? I could just go on with my life', thought Bone.

"The ones who wish to talk to those who have passed do not get the responses."
Reaching up he momentarily brushed his hair off to the side. He was already aware of what her request was going to be...and he already knew his answer.
"Those to toy with petty human nonsense are cursed with traumatizing results."

She looked disappointed. "Like no responses? At all?" She was half serious and half not serious about this whole taking to the dead thing. Part of her wanted to somehow communicate with her dead - were they dead yet?- friends and maybe her dead parents. She thought that she needed closure, to try and patch things up with them. Fix problems that happened, forgive mistakes. A part of her decided that it wasn't worth bothering a cultist about it. But heck she's here and talking to him now, might as well push through.

"No they get responses, but its not the kind they hoped for...." he took a moment.
"You are not going to let this go are you?" he didn't let her answer.
Approaching her, now mere inches away from her, raising an uncovered hand, he traced a cross in the air above her forehead.
"Those who wish to make contact have unforeseen consequences....death is a most popular outcome"

She grew more indecisive. Was talking to her deceased loved ones really worth whatever could happen to her? Well, death didn't seem so bad for her. She always welcomed the sweet release of the afterlife, but now she had people who'd probably miss her if she was gone. Besides, meeting the your dead friends in person in the afterlife seemed like an awkward meeting. A part of her said that he's probably trying to scare her since how could ghosts kill you? They're dead, on a different plane as physical human beings. They can barely even touch you. "How can a ghost kill someone?"

"Bonebon... you and I are in a new place where your soul has been taken away from you. There are creatures here of unimaginable origins; look at me."
He voice was beginning to change in tone becoming more urgent.
"In this state, they can hurt you. They can do so much more than what they can do to that in the human world"
The air was becoming thicker and dense, the little light available was fading slower and slower.
"Do you understand?"

Her face grew grim at his tone. Obtaining closure wasn't worth any possible injuries she might obtain, she decided. "Yeah, I understand." She said. Well she didn't have anything to do now, so she got up and started to walk away. She stopped and turned back towards him, "Wait um...do you wanna hang out or something? I mean it's not like I have anything else to do." She said.

Tilting his head in thought, he wondered.
"I suppose we could; you can finally explain why you wished to toy with unholy actions."
His voice had returned and became less stern; he was truly only looking after her honest.
His job is hard, escorting the dead, but what's worse was seeming them accept it and try to challenge the outcome.

She ran a hand through her firey hair. Doing so didn't hurt her much, her slow regeneration causes the burns to be not so sever but she does get a little burned. Just not enough that it would actually damage her skin. "I was thinking of talking with my old friends. Maybe try to patch things up with them, which I never really got to do. The same for with my father. I wanted to know why he didn't even bother working to pay my tuition. Or why he left my mom. I wanted closure see." She explained.
