I can't help but notice you got assigned a kid today. I'm setting you up a care package.

Some bedding, toys, bathroom supplies. And if you need, I can have a bed rush ordered so she has a place to sleep.

Re: 4/23

[deaths_head]

Boss, you're a damn saint. I'll take you up on all but the bed: got a nice, big one in m' yurt I don't use. That ol' sayin' 'bout sleeping when you're dead?

It's a crock. 'Less I'm injured or some such, at least.

Re: 4/23

[not_fragile]

In that case, I'll also send some kind of big stuffed animal. Something to cuddle with in bed.

I know she's got to be scared, anything I can do to make her time here a bit easier, just let me know. Kristen's also getting some things together.

I was talking with Mr. Harry...Can you talk to the school about my schoolwork?

Re: 6/20

[deaths_head]

Reckon I can. What needs talkin' about, little soul?

Re: 6/20

[flocks_angel]

It's too easy, they're giving me kid work.

mom got me a horse. She won't be here for two weeks and I was wondering if I could bother you about taking care of and training a horse?

[deaths_head]

you could try, but won't be easy. i'm a hard man to bother.

seriously, though: be happy to. stop by the stables after your schooling. you can practice grooming silverstone. he's a patient fella.

Joe...Could I ask you for a big favor?

Re: 1/14

[deaths_head]

'Course, little boss. Whatcha need?

Re: 1/14

[trackerjackered]

I'm going to have to stop going on raids in a few months. When that happens, can you watch them for me?

[highbloodpressure]

Uh.

Joe?

Do you see things crawling on the other dome or did I lose my mind in the past 24 hours?

Re: 3/20

[deaths_head]

Heard 'em, too. Spittin' like cats--weren't sure it was ghosts in specific, s' why I didn't put a call in.

Re: 3/20

[highbloodpressure]

I've never seen anything like that.

3/26

[okayillshowyou]

Look, I know you know what my book does. Do you think it would work on the already dead?

I can't get a straight answer out of Ryuk, except for some vague crap about making it so I can see names 'for a price'.

Re: 3/26

[deaths_head]

No. You can't kill what's already dead, son.

...but you can destroy it. Not death, obliteration. I could help you figger out how to do that with that book of yours--and I guarantee you, the price I charge is gonna be a hell of a lot cheaper 'n his.

Re: 3/26

[okayillshowyou]

...well, what's your price? His is apparently "half my current lifespan", which is vague enough that I really don't want to risk it if I don't have to.

3/30

[highbloodpressure]

Joe, what the hell is this.

Re: 3/30

[deaths_head]

Shit I've only ever seen in Hell, and in ghosts driven mad.

Made contact with a couple of 'em--the girl what wails like a banshee, and the fella in the jail cell. You saw him on the network, didn't you?

Re: 3/30

[highbloodpressure]

Yeah, she's got one hell of a scream, doesn't she? Apparently it made Feynman and Bickley catatonic.

That guy in the cell, are you sure he's actually dead? That thing seems to be piloting his body.

[assassin_of_letters]

Joe, Sheriff Winchester, I have a proposition for you.

Re: 7/10

[deaths_head]

Happy t' help, if I got the means. What's on your mind, Sheriff?

7/29

[intrinsicrandom]

Just so you know, I evicted an evil spirit piece of shit from Nica's alternate's body, so you might want to watch out for that on your ghost plane or whatever.

8/2

[intrinsicrandom]

Look, I need your advice.

Re: 8/2

[deaths_head]

I'd make a wiseass remark 'bout callin' the papers, but it ain't exactly wiseass if you're askin' me for advice.

What do you need, Feynman?
