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.

[xanthous]

Right, right. Of course. [He raises an eyebrow.] Did you decide to change your name, or was it somebody else?

[exequies]

[His replies are getting shorter and a bit more clipped.] It was a mutual decision.

[xanthous]

That so? [Ohoho.] You know, I didn't pick my first title. Or my second. Picked the third one with some help.

[exequies]

Is that part of troll culture, or were you some sort of spy?

[xanthous]

Do you really think I could be a spy? Seriously? But it's not normal, though, no. The first one probably would've been it, but I got upgraded. And then once I got out, I decided fuck that, ain't nobody who's going to define me but myself.

[exequies]

[He was half-way guessing and half-way kidding. But that's an interesting response at least.]

'Upgraded'?

[xanthous]

Well, when you go from a nothing slave to the Empress's prized possession an upgrade is the most generous thing you could call it.
