[ ....That doesn't sound right. ]

You have your head.

[helmets]

I've always had it with me in Ireland, but it was never physically attached to my body.
Until I arrived here, that is.

[ex_longanimity327]

[ ...This is a little freaky. He's seen a lot of shit in his life, but. ]

Are you at work?

[helmets]

I'm done in ten minutes.

[ex_longanimity327]

Casino. I'll wait for you.

[helmets]

[ she doesn't text him back, but shows up in his casino fifteen minutes later, helmet tucked under an arm. the place is fancy and she feels slightly under dressed in her sweater and skinny jeans, but it was too late to change.

she makes her way towards the back, looking around for izumo or an office he could be in. ]

[ex_longanimity327]

[ Izumo, obviously is dressed to impress, only he's by one of the bars and when he notices Celty, he signals the other bartenders to work. He's the boss of the place, after all.

He follows Celty to the back, his usual purple glasses off. ]

It'd be funny if the last thing I see before my death is a beautiful woman such as you.

[helmets]

[ the compliment is unexpected (as usual); she did just tell him she was headless back home! it brings an embarrassed smile to her face and her laugh sounds more along the lines of a startled cough.

she shakes her head, tucking a lock of hair behind her ear. ]

Thank you. I'm glad to know you aren't... [ scared? apprehensive? upset? ]

I mean, you don't look uncomfortable? I hope.

[ex_longanimity327]

Scared? [ He should be. He realizes he's talking to a non-human being, one who can easily kill him even if he has his aura back. But then again, when great big floating swords are the norm in Shizume, he doesn't feel... uncomfortable at all. ]

I've had my share of things a lotta people wouldn't believe. [ he leans on the wall next to her. ] I've learned to expect the unexpected, as the popular saying goes.

does this count as mail

[ex_longanimity327]

[ Sitting on her side of the bed is a small box containing this little fella: And a note. ]

You'll forgive me for this extremely late Valentine's gift?

text, of course

[helmets]

You shouldn't have.

[helmets]

[ she sets her helmet against her hip and leans back on the wall, watching the flashing lights on the slot machines. ]

I guess living in a place where it's normal to be in a gang with supernatural powers helps with that, right?

[ex_longanimity327]

Ah, but I take my role as your husband with utter seriousness.

[ He's joking. ]

You do know it's from the landlord.

[ex_longanimity327]

[ He laughs. Yeah, that's helpful. ]

Eh, giant floatin' swords should be enough to be a believer. [ But let's talk about you. ] Aren't your lot psychopomps?

[helmets]

Then I guess I should step up my game.

[ just gonna roll with it....... ]

And yes, I know it's from him.
I wonder what he has planned for us.

[ex_longanimity327]

A competition, eh? I wouldn't mind.
From what I gather on the network, he seems to relish in embarrassing drama.

[helmets]

My lot?

[ she laughs a little. ]

I guess you could say we are guides, in a way. When a person is due to die, we call for them. They can keep us away, of course, but not forever.

[helmets]

Good to know.
That's what I've heard too.
It's creepy.

[ that coming from her is probably really weird but she still thinks the landlord is an alien ok. (leave her alone.) ]

[ex_longanimity327]

So the stories say. How d'you feel right now, though?

[ turning to her and gesturing vaguely to... well, her. and having her head attached. it may sound a bit of an asshole question, but he's genuinely curious. ]

[helmets]

[ she shrugs a little, wrapping her free arm around herself. ]

It's... strange. I'm still trying to get used to it.

[ having her head after searching so long for it. and actually having it attached to the rest of her body. ]

I feel more secure, having it with me. But at the same time, I've never felt more lost.

[ex_longanimity327]

Do you still think he's an alien?

[ YOU'RE A GUIDE OF THE DEAD and scared of aliens, it's so cute. :( ]

[helmets]

Yes.

[ oh my god shut up. ]

[ex_longanimity327]

Is it because you were headless for centuries?

[ He can almost sympathise, but at the same time... he's talking to someone much older than him. ]

[ex_longanimity327]

[ he's going to switch to voice because he's a dick. but yes, that's him laughing. ]

Celty-chan is such an adorable wife.

[helmets]

[ TOO EMBARRASSED.... sticks to text. X( ]

It's not funny
