Eating myself to death - remember me

[Cooper looks over the text and grins.]

What would you like it to say on your tombstone?

[fresh_to_deaf]

[He doesn't know how much he's had and he doesn't want to; all he knows is that Domino's had a deal on large pizzas and so far the evening's been an artery-clogged blur. But, it is a good question. He thinks on it a little as he finishes the slice of pizza in his hand.]

Not sure...but I do want an audio recording of a zombie moaning to be put in a motion detector, and concealed by the tombstone. If I'm gonna be a ghost, I want to watch people get freaked out.

[emotioneater]

You'd make a brilliant ghost. Probably the kind who sneaks into locker rooms and watches people undress. It'd be better than hanging around a moldy old cemetery.

[Cooper had known a few ghosts in his time. Dreadful bores all of them.]

[fresh_to_deaf]

[He pulls a face at the suggestion - 'Me? Nahh..' - though he can't help but smile all the same]

I like to think so. But no - I'd want to be a poltergeist. Moving all the furniture in someon's house 2 inches to the right, all kitchen chairs piled on the table, that sort of thing

[emotioneater]

Poltergeists are bad news. Do you know how hard it is to get rid of them? It's like a full-blown process that requires pounding nails into shadows cast by their spirits. Complicated shit, my friend.

[So he'd had a little bit of experience in the area. All sorts of weird shit happened in Pemkowet.]

[fresh_to_deaf]

Dude, that'd be a good thing. I don't want exorcising me to be easy. If I'm gonna be a pain while alive, I might as well be in the afterlife too

[emotioneater]

What's the preoccupation with death all of a sudden? Planning to die at the ripe old age of eighteen?

[fresh_to_deaf]

Not a preoccupation, as such. Just thinking about the pros and cons of ghosthood.

[He pushes the pizza box towards his friend and pretends to theatrically collapse back, apparently defeated.]

[emotioneater]

Pizza:1. Djem:0.

[Cooper hasn't eaten nearly so much. As a ghoul, food lacks the satisfying nature it does for normal people. Still, he can and does eat to keep up normal appearances.]

So do you really believe in it then? The supernatural?

[fresh_to_deaf]

No shame in defeat, my friend. I put up a good fight.

[Considering the question a moment, he shifts over so he's laying on his back, holding his phone out when he's finished with his answer.]

Sort of - not really sure. I believe there's an afterlife of some kind, but I don't know about the rest of it. How about you?

[emotioneater]

Oh, I believe alright. I've got some personal experience with it all.

[Now there was the understatement of the year. Cooper preferred to ease people into the revelation that he was an immortal creature cast out from Heaven and Hell. Start with vague statements and work up to the part where he revealed nothing mortal could kill him.]
