Undertaker

[exequies]

[jumpthegun]

Have you ever had short hair? Or... considered it? That mane's got to be beastly in the summer, mate.

[Not to mention the amount of maintenance.]

[exequies]

Have you ever considered wearing heels on your shoes? It might make you look taller.

[Why yes, Watson, he is going to troll you back even harder for that question.]

[jumpthegun]

[Wow. John raises a brow.]

Well, I considered bringing back platform gogo boots, but I haven't got the thighs for it.

[exequies]

[It's a good response and has Undertaker cackling.]

It's all in the ankles, really. [He's still giggling to himself as he waves a hand.] Everyone considers making changes sometimes, don't they? But I'm happy with the way I am now. No need to do something as drastic as cut my hair.

[jumpthegun]

Fair enough. I'm not putting on high heels. They're murder to run in. [Why he knows that? Well. He's the one asking questions here.] What things have you considered changing?

[exequies]

Speaking from experience? [He grins at Watson in a cheeky way, and even gives him a small wink.]

Mm, well... I have thought about clipping my nails more regularly. It's easier for sex.

[jumpthegun]

Sherlock does a lot of experiments. [John shrugs.]

And I think I'm gonna change question topics. What's the happiest you've ever been?

[exequies]

Wellllll~ recently? Eating those cupcakes certainly made me feel happy. Monty and Renart helped out with that a bit, as well.

[Sorry Watson, he's not getting completely off the topic. It's amusing because it makes him uncomfortable.]

[jumpthegun]

[Not touching the Monty and Renart comment.]

Mm... I meant natural happiness. Not induced.

[exequies]

[Damn it, stop making him try to actually admit his feelings. Undertaker purses his lips for a moment but can't deflect such a specific question.]

Then I suppose it would be when the two of them were placed here with me.

[xanthous]

How much of the shit you say and do is for show?

[exequies]

[Damn, this is a question he can't find an exact work around for.]

Almost half of it. Why do you ask?

[xanthous]

[Hah.]

Because I don't think anyone can act like you do with complete and total unironic sincerity.

And you seem too smart to not know how exactly you're riling people up.

[exequies]

I'll take that as a compliment. But you know, some people do go mad in the business I'm in. All those chemicals aren't good for the body.

[xanthous]

Sounds like those people aren't cut out for their job, then. And a little bit like an excuse.

[exequies]

Well, humans are delicate creatures. But it is a convenient excuse.

[xanthous]

Are you human? [He looks it, but you never know.]

[exequies]

Not exactly. Not anymore, at least.

[Looks can be deceiving!]

[xanthous]

So what are you if you're not human any more? [Wait.]

...How did you change from being human?

[exequies]

I was altered after my mortal death.

[He gives one of his habitual giggles, as well as a small shrug of his shoulders.]

I'm a grim reaper. Or Death, as we're sometimes called.

[xanthous]

So...you're undead. Like a daywalker or rainbow drinker, but an entirely different subset I've never heard of before.

[Yeah, that seems about right. What a world.]

Is that why you've got all that spooky bullshit at your house? To fit with your species.

[exequies]

Technically, yes. I still have to eat, drink and sleep like a normal human, though.

[Hearing it called 'spooky bullshit' gets a chuckle out of him.]

Sort ooooof~ But it's more closely related to my job as an undertaker than my species. Humans bury their dead so most of that stuff is remnants from my parlor back in my original reality.

[It's just extra over the top to make it uncomfortable and mildly intimidating.]

[xanthous]

I mean, so do rainbow drinkers. It's not that special.

[Honestly the way humans react to death is one of those things he doesn't think he'll ever get used to. Especially when it's clear that the dead don't always stay dead for humans?

But they take no precautions. Unless that's what undertakers do??

It's mysterious.]

Thought Undertaker was your name, and I didn't think most Earth variants were all for titles replacing names.

[exequies]

It's what I go by. [He half-shrugs.] It depends on who you are, I suppose.
