[had_not_lived]

These are always my favorite days, and I think maybe, right now this is just the kind of thing we need.

It's a nice day, and if we've got visitors it means there's not a curse. I think maybe I won't open the store-- unless anyone really wants to visit it, I mean-- and just spend the day out.

And of course, for all of you who're only here for a day or two-- I hope you enjoy your stay.



[ooc; please no duplicate neils, and no outright telling him he doesn't exist. Otherwise, anything goes! <3 BACKDATING WELCOME]

Oh, so, hey.

[had_not_lived]

Billy!

[THRILLED.]

[inmyothertights]

Oh, good, joy, you keep feeling that, stay right where you are, I'll be right there.

[had_not_lived]

Well, why wouldn't I be glad to see you?

I'm at home.

[practicingforhell]

Hey, optimism kid. Neil.

[Their last conversation ended on a rather low note. Henry's going to try to keep it light this time. Make the most of existing for a while.]

How's it been?

[video]

[had_not_lived]

Oh, hello again!

[He tries, he tries. Optimism in the City can be tough.]

It's been-- well, October's always kind of a dangerous month, though that say it's not as bad as it used to be. How are you?

[video]

[practicingforhell]

But you survived it? Good job.

[shrug] Same as ever. Y'know, dead. It's okay.

[prettyimpulsive]

Hello, Neil. It's so good to see you!

[video]

[had_not_lived]

Oh, Euphie! It's good to see you, too-- how are you?

[video]

[prettyimpulsive]

I'm very well. Thank you. Todd is still here too, isn't he? I already heard from Justin.

[and_immortality]

[Hey, Neil. Hey, Neil. Do you hear something?]

[and_immortality]

[I'm just saying, because I definitely hear something.]

[and_immortality]

[It's kind of far away, but you can almost make it out--]

[and_immortality]

[It's like some kind of distant, whining synth type noise?]

[and_immortality]

[And by the way it's getting louder.]

[and_immortality]

[AND LOUDER.]

[and_immortality]

[And is that...galloping?]

[and_immortality]

[Because it sounds like galloping.]

[and_immortality]

[And also singing. Loud, slightly off-key singing.]

[and_immortality]

[Oh shit, hit the deck, HERE IT COMES...]

okay I'm done and also I love you.

[and_immortality]

[And in gallops none other than the personification of Death, swinging one arm merrily about his head and singing loudly along with his background music.]

EEEEEEEEH, SEXY LAY-DEES! OP, OP, OP, OP, PO-POST MORTEM STYLE!
EEEEEEEEH, CALL ME HA-DES! OP, OP, OP, OP, PO-POST MORTEM STYLE!

yeah well I love YOU so there how are you so amazing

[had_not_lived]

[Though Neil will never understand your pop-culture references, he does appreciate them. In a perplexed way. But gosh, he's glad to see you!]

No one else makes an entrance quite like you, you know.

[timegirl]

[Hello, Neil. Wherever you happen to be, you may notice a pale, somber little girl, silently staring at you. She's not particularly threatening, but she might be a bit unsettling.]

[had_not_lived]

[That's particularly unsettling because he's sitting on the sofa, in his (locked) apartment, scrolling through the Network to see who's come by. But eventually he can't ignore the feeling of being watched, and he looks up, jumping a bit when he spots her. Though she looks pretty non-threatening.]

How did you get in here?

[timegirl]

[She doesn't verbally answer; she glances at the wall behind her, and points. But then she turns back to Neil, answering in her small, uncertainly lilting voice.]

I'm sorry. I was looking for my pal.
