[ Déjà Vu.

It's not something William T. Spears is all too familiar with. Whether because he'd never experienced it or simply because he'd never chosen to acknowledge when it did happen, is unclear.

That is, until now.

Because, right now, William is standing in the center of Vatheon city, just as any other newcomer would be. Drenched, just as any other newcomer. And confused, just like any other newcomer. Except that this newcomer's confusion is stemming from the fact that he's been through this before. In fact, now that he thinks about it, the events that had taken place just before that sudden splash of water - standing on the remains of the sinking Campania ship, physically reprimanding his subordinate reapers - that all seemed like it had happen before, as well.

Hmm, strange.

He'll remember his time here eventually, of course - how could one truly forget? But for now, with his memory still a bit fuzzy - and his mind a tad preoccupied on how to dry his clothes and hair - perhaps someone could give him a reminder? ]

Comments

[ Under different circumstances there would have been the barest tinge of jealousy that Will seemed (happier certainly isn't the word) relieved some human had remained and not shown the same to have him around but... That was months ago. He notices that tiny hint of a smirk though and decides it best to not comment.

That latter bit though, it makes him pause. ]

The Undertaker, sir. S'what they call him at least. The reaper gone rogue on the Campania who did a number on me and Mister Sutcliffe. Came but a few days ago.

[ Don't worry, Ronnie. Will's glad you're here, too. It's just always been easier for him to show the anger side of the emotion spectrum than the happy side. ]

Ah, him.

[ This was a touchy area for William. The Undertaker had, in his prime, been an exemplary reaper - certainly worthy of William's respect. But his latest actions and...state of mind, were less than desirable. ]

Has he been up to anything?

[diehardreaper]

[ Uneasy ruffling of the hair here. They'd only met once. He wasn't sure if the Undertaker had met anyone else but... there were dangerous people here he'd rather not cross paths with the Undertaker. ]

Not that I know of, sir. Fact of the matter was he seemed a little too eager if you ask me... bit of a concern that.

[ A pause. ]

Should we keep an eye on him then?

[gtfo_mypersonalspace]

Yes. If you note anything suspicious, whatsoever, inform me immediately.

[ Though William has every intention to speak with the Undertaker upon their paths first crossing, and letting him know he'll be keeping close watch on his behaviour. ]

[diehardreaper]

Will do, sir!

[ Business manner melting away as he flashes that signature salute. ]

Now... you'd prolly want your suit back, eh?

[gtfo_mypersonalspace]

[ A slight eye roll. He doesn't get the whole striking a pose thing. ]

Yes, that would be appreciated.

[diehardreaper]

Come on then. S'not too far.

[ But he sounds genuinely amused, folding his arms behind his back as he turns to go. ]

Isn't this ironic though?

[gtfo_mypersonalspace]

What? That you're finally returning my suit?

[diehardreaper]

[ Snickering. ]

I was going to return it, mind. Just mean that the first time I came here, you offered to lend me a suit because I was wet and all... now you're the one who's come in and I'm returning the favor.

[gtfo_mypersonalspace]

It is not really lending when I owned the suit to begin with. Still, the sentiment is appreciated.

[diehardreaper]

Yeah, I suppose...

[ Small shrug as he continued to walk off. ]

The situation's just familiar and all. Come on. I'll hand you back your suit and send you on your way then.

[gtfo_mypersonalspace]

Yes, that would be fine.

[ He follows Ronald along, quiet for the most part until he finally pipes up. ]

I will have to find out if my old flat is still available.

[diehardreaper]

Prolly is... S'just been what, couple of months and there's plenty of housing to go by.

[ Small shrug. ]

Could pop over and check while you get changed.
