Quest 278

I've heard it mentioned, you know, that today is Father's Day, along with being the second day of all the visitors stopping by to pay a call.

It does all line up rather neatly that way, doesn't it? We spent a whole week popping around to other worlds and acting like visitors ourselves, and now we're back here where we started and it's our turn to play the hosts instead. Though I imagine that even our poorest reception is still better than some of the other ones extended in the past few days.

I think everyone always wants to see the people they know and miss on days like this, and I'm certainly no exception. But at the same time...well, if they don't come, then I hope that's a sign that they're happy where they are, and free, and doing well. I think I could take that as ample consolation.

...But Daddy, if you're here, this is your day! It's meant just for you. And there's nothing I'd like more than to spend it with you.

If something comes up that I don't want her to know, I'll just have her forget it, so have a party--anything goes! HIT HER WITH EVERYTHING YOU'VE GOT. Troll, threadjack, have a ball!

And of course, I am totally okay with backdating. ♥]

You have no idea how great it is to hear that! That's what I hope I'll find when I visit--everyone being all right. Or more than all right! And I especially hope that you and Doll and Euphie and Angela and everyone else who feels like family are doing okay.

Okay, Rosella--can I ask you a completely random question?

We're all doing our best, believe me. I do think of you and Sam and Blue quite often, but now it's just in fondness, and without the sadness that usually comes with it.

Er, a random question? Yes, of course, Penny, you're always welcome to ask me anything.

Good. I think it's safe to say that none of us want to make up sad. Maybe that means you've been in the City just long enough to get used to it?

Sorry this is completely out of the blue, but have you ever met Death? The personification? Because your name comes up in conversation sometimes.

I don't know if it's right to say I've gotten used to it, exactly, but I suppose one could say I've come to terms with it, which is almost the same.

...The one that you and Neil and Todd all know? I've, er, heard tell of him before, but he never comes by to speak with me, no. And I don't know that I mind that he doesn't, really.

That's a better way to put it. Anyway, I'm glad you're doing okay.

Yes, him! So you've never met him? He acts like you did something to offend him, but I seriously can't figure it out.

...To offend him? Death is--why, that's--

[She's just blinking, completely baffled. This is obviously not something she ever considered before.]

I know, it's completely weird. Don't worry, though! He's sweet and I'm sure it's just something silly.
