It’s the ignoring his sarcasm part that bothers him, oh dear. “Your response gives me an urge to test if pulling the soul out of someone’s body with my bare hands is possible. I will feel less inclined to try it despite my better judgement…if you repeat yourself. You said even souls are trapped here?”

“You’d probably just yank out my organs and stuff first,” is his flat response. Yomiel remains difficult, and intends to be, always.  “Anyway, yeah -- death is temporary, nobody escapes. Or, well. Those who do... it seems like a random selection. I’ve been here almost a year and I’ve seen people come and go.”

There’s a kind of peace to be found at the cliff that overlooks the city, despite some of the less-than-enticing rumors that it. Stories of matyrdom, of sacrifice and of suicide. It’s not these tales that draw Nier to Savior’s Respite, but they don’t frighten her either. Rather, she enjoys the solitude the location offers, as well as the gentle foliage and relaxing view. On a day like today, she can sit under a tree with a borrowed book and enjoy a rare bit of silence from Spirale.

Her quiet afternoon isn’t ruined, but rather intruded upon by the arrival of a large visitor. A menacing man with a grim gaze, a mere peek at him sends Nier cowering behind her book. Hopefully, he’s just here to sight-see. 

Despite the girl’s apprehension, Death does not share her Evoker’s feelings on the matter. Rather, she feels a kinship with this new arrival, enough so that she scarcely hesitates to emerge from her pocket dimension and float over to the man.

“My my... Is there something here that would interest someone like you? Truly? Truly truly...?”

Reaching out with an intangible hand, she brushes her fingers against his mask, lamenting the fact that she cannot actually touch anything on this island. Like her own mask, it betrays no indication of what he might be thinking.

“Tell me... why are you here? Are you like I was...? Do they reject you...? Or-”

“Death, you need to stop coming out like that...” mumbles Nier. Even as she stands, she holds herself behind her book, as if its cover will protect her. “You know it’s not safe here...”

With a final, lingering gaze, Death moves back to the girl’s side. “I am sorry, my beloved... There’s just so many intriguing things in this place...”

For a moment, their hands intertwine, before Death’s fingers merely phase through. Nier sighs, looking up to the man as much as she’s willing to. “I-I’m sorry... I hope she didn’t bother you or anything...”

(They’ll be fine~ But I think people might freak out if they see Death in a hospital asdfghgfdsa)

“ .....one of those? “

Rather than questioning he’s mumbling to himself, watching from an upper branch of a particularly sturdy tree, not a place that is so easily perceived. Reluctant to make a contact in case it’s a denizen. 

“ ....! “

Gazes meet. Ogata freezes on the spot, his single eye turning catlike at surprise.

despite what appearances may suggest, he is no stranger to the accommodations of libraries. he is not blessed with WISDOM, yet knowledge is a different story to speak of. clever and sharp, and utterly in need of understanding this hellish island he's landed upon. ganondorf would prefer not to ask questions and seek answers on his lonesome; ANYTHING TO NOT BE SEEN AS WEAK! thus, he's thankful for the relative silence and solitude kept within the city's libraries, no need to curse his fellow citizens when he needs not to fear being disturbed.

yet, he notices a curious individual as he peruses a bookshelf. expression blank to DISGUISE his interest, holding back questions with ease, the king only speaks as the other nears. ❝am i in the way?❞ he asks; not that he personally CARES, but with no desire to be singled out just yet, he will play this part.

@cessationalive liked for a starter.

Now, she need lay no claim to something as lofty or useless as queen of the birds in spirale; that just went without saying. Most other birds were typically even weaker than most of the populace here which was really saying something, so she had no interest in dominating them. She did however enjoy spending time with the other corvids here.

But this one... With it’s glowing green eyes... She hadn’t seen this one before. 

So the abnormally large raven had landed on a nearby gravestone, making some low sounds as she gave her appraisal. It wasn’t until she landed that she noticed the humanoid figure either. Was that a mask? Pretty cool. She ruffled her wings, then hopped a little closer. Still not close enough though... So she held up one wing, hoping that the man might mimic the gesture with his arm so she could land on it. 

Who are you two? Cool eyes. Cool mask.

Of course, to the uninitiated it only sounded like caws.

“ All the creatures or whatever here say that.  Yeah, yeah, I get it. You’re old and better than all humans put together. “

He sighs and takes another tone. Shaky but flat, ‘oh the woe is me’ echoin all over. Anything but genuine:

“ Yes sir....  I’m just a pesky poor human with a short life span that repeats my ancestors actions. Terribly sorry about that, sir. “
