Guidance Offices: Now Open.

Erm.

*clears her throat*

Hi! I'm Death, and I'm the school's guidance counselor - psychologist-type-thing. I definitely know you all, but I don't think most of you know me.

I promise, despite the name, that I'm totally safe.

So if anyone would like to or needs to talk, my doors are open. Yes, on weekends.

You're excused. Can I do something for you?

[make-it-ashes.livejournal.com]

Whatever.

How the fu--er, hell do you know that?

[trulydeath.livejournal.com]

... know what? Did I know something I shouldn't know?

[make-it-ashes.livejournal.com]

No.

*pauses, wheels around, and stalks back to the door, closing it and then keeping his back against it*

My name. How the fuck do you know my name?

[trulydeath.livejournal.com]

Because I'm Death. I know everybody. I won't use it, if you'd rather I don't. That's fine.

[make-it-ashes.livejournal.com]

*flatly* I'm Pyro now.

I -- uh -- *is apparently struggling just a little with what to say and how to say it* I don't know what else you know or how you know, and I don't really give a damn, 'cause that ain't me anymore. But could you, uh. Not tell anyone?

... please?

[trulydeath.livejournal.com]

Of course I won't. I don't tell anything that one might onsider a secret. Knowing everyone is not always an easy thing to do.

But then you're Pyro, and that's what I'll call you.

Tell me, how do you know Kevorkian?

*She's understanding. Her expression is understanding. Soft. And vaguely amused.*

*still very, very cautious*

I don't. Know him personally, that is. I think my boss did, though. He said he admired Kevorkian for realizing that if a person's destiny was his own, so was his life and death. Or something like that, anyway.

*awkward shrug*

He made me read some of Kevorkian's interviews, anyway. Said it'd give me insight on humanity.

[trulydeath.livejournal.com]

He's a very good man. Sometimes I still visit him. I'm afraid soon I'll visit him just once more.

*thoughtfully*

And did it? Give you insight, that is?

[make-it-ashes.livejournal.com]

On the human race, yes. Not so much on other things.
