[ This whole - everything is free and you don't need a job - thing has been throwing William off quite a bit. All this sudden free time! And no restrictions regarding prices! Where does William even start?

Better turn to someone for advice. Someone that isn't one of the three people here who William knows from home, because really, isn't William supposed to enjoy this impromptu vacation? So instead, he contacted Tatsumi, who'd insisted William hit him up should he have any questions.

So now William's standing in the main plaza, eying that giant coral suspiciously, and waiting for Tatsumi to arrive. ]

[gtfo_mypersonalspace]

Hopefully.

Yes. This looks like something from home.

[ He approaches the front door, opening it for the two of them to venture inside. William chooses a table by some other unoccupied tables. ]

[cheapshinigami]

[Tatsumi follows William, and sits with him at the table he chooses.]

It looks and smells nice.

[gtfo_mypersonalspace]

Yes, it is familiar. Certainly more comforting than the other things I have found here from home.

[cheapshinigami]

If what your employee told me is right, you both come from a different era altogether.

[gtfo_mypersonalspace]

Excuse me? A different era? He is probably just being dramatic for no reason.

[cheapshinigami]

[Chuckles. Grell? Dramatic? No way that could ever happen!]

Yes, most likely. I guess this place is suited to meet some of the needs and likes of different people.

[gtfo_mypersonalspace]

In what way? Honestly, being here is not helping me, in the least.

[cheapshinigami]

[Shrugs.]

Just different kinds of housing and types of stores in general.

[gtfo_mypersonalspace]

So, a break, in a sense.

[ William sighs. As much as he needs this break, it's almost as though he simply doesn't know how to stop and take a breather. ]

[cheapshinigami]

Indeed...

[Well, for Tatsumi it's quite a welcome break. Especially from spending money. But between his job for the Defense Force, trying to figure out this work, and taking care of two puppies at home, he has his plate full.]

[gtfo_mypersonalspace]

[ William sips at the tea the waitress just placed in front of him. ]

I am curious how reapers from your world process souls. If you would not mind indulging me.

[cheapshinigami]

[Tatsumi sips at his. The tea is good, all is well for now.]

We have a list of people who are supposed to arrive to the Meifu, I mean, the Underworld. We go to Earth go guide the souls of these persons to their proper places. Sometimes we must make some of these souls aware that they are no longer living, and that they must rest in peace. Not to mention dealing with the involvement of humans in affairs of the death. Or with demons and spirits.

[gtfo_mypersonalspace]

Fairly standard procedure, then.

[ William adds a bit more sugar to his tea and stirs it thoughtfully. ]

[cheapshinigami]

[He nods and drinks his tea just as it is.]

Indeed. How is it in your world? Anything different?

[gtfo_mypersonalspace]

Slightly. We do not escort souls to their place after death. We merely reap them, decide if they should die or continue in life, and file them accordingly.

[cheapshinigami]

[Nods.]

It's possible your department processes more souls than ours. Your way to do things is much faster. Do you work individually or in groups?

[gtfo_mypersonalspace]

My section has five reapers, myself included. Whether we work in groups or not depends on the amount of souls needing to be reaped in a particular assignment.

Though, honestly, five agents is not nearly enough, in my opinion. But, management has yet to provide me with more.

[cheapshinigami]

Understandable. We have 2 reapers per section, who are required to work as a pair. No reaper may operate alone. Simply precautionary measure to avoid certain things. Like having any reaper getting attatxhed to a human. When needed, shinigami from other sections may help with a certain situation.
