*jumps up*
No, I don't believe you. Get out! Get out of here, I'm trying to practice!
*goes into a fierce routine to prove her point, but stops after just a few steps when she sees that Death hasn't left yet*
I said leave! I don't need to deal with this right now! Go away!

*Death stood in a fluid motion and quickly made his way to her side. He hated it when people yelled at him. Especially for things that weren't his fault. Oh yeah...it was almost never his fault. He grasped her wrist with a bony hand. His voice was a bit more raspy.*
"Marguerite. I know that it is hard to accept. But I owe it to your family to make you understand."

*tries and fails to tear her hand out of his grip*
There's nothing to understand, except that you're just telling me more lies! I don't need to hear this, I don't need to hear this...!
*begins to lose control and starts to slump forward toward him*

*Death caught her and held her gently, if firmly, again his ribs as the both lowered to the floor. He cradled her gently, brushing back a lock of her hair with a skeletal finger.*
"I know that it's hard. I know. But it's true. You have to believe me."
This is stupid! Don't do this...she's going to scream...they always scream. Or faint. Or both. Or just get really mad. But it's never good.
*He pulled back the hood of his cloak to reveal his naked skull. His voice was very shy, barely a whisper.*
"I took her."

*raises her head to look into his eyes and finds herself peering into his empty sockets instead*
Oh...my...
*lets out one of her patented ALW Stage Show Meg Giry ScreamsTM and throws herself away from him, slamming hard into the mirror*
GET AWAY FROM ME!
((I couldn't remember if Death has eyeballs or not, so if he does then just ignore the line about his empty sockets...replace it with "at his bare skull" or something.))

((You were right, just sockets. Sometimes they're flame-y, but not at the moment.))
*Death stood and quickly lifted his hood, concealing himself once more.*
Yeah...that. That's why you should never reveal yourself to humans.
*He sighed and turned away, ashamed. He was messing everything up. His voice sounded wounded.*
"Marguerite...I'm sorry. I...I'm trying to make things right again. But I...I needed you to know. "

Make things right again? MAKE THINGS RIGHT AGAIN?! How could you possibly MAKE THINGS RIGHT AGAIN? You've...you've RUINED EVERYTHING!
*backs into a corner and whimpers pathetically, looking like a trapped rabbit*

It wasn't my fault. There was the whole cosmic mixup...
*It was easier to talk to the floor. So Death did that and hoped she would overhear and take the hint.*
"It...it's complicated. But I'm trying to get her back. To return her to you. Please understand. I do want to fix this."

What do you mean, get her back? How can you?
*doesn't move from her corner, but sounds slightly hopeful*

*Death turned his head slightly towards her.*
"Marguerite, both sides...they know this isn't right. This wasn't her time. But...it's a difficult thing to undo. It will take some time...but please, keep hope."

*rushes toward him, but stops suddenly at the memory of what's under the cloak*
Can I help? Is there anything I can do? Who else is helping?

*Death smiled slightly that she seemed to be at least a little better now, but did not look up to her.*
"I...I'm not sure. I need to get in touch with...your stepfather. If there is anything else that comes up, I swear you will know. I know how important this is."

*slowly* My stepfather? Oh yeah, I have one of those now...no, wait! He's not my stepfather, I've never even met him! He's just the man my mother married without telling me. *pauses, thinking* Did he have something to do with this? What do you need to get in contact with him for?

"I...I need him to accompany me. To get her back. But he is having a terrible time coming to terms with this."
*Death took her hand cautiously.*
“You both have a lot that you are going through. Please…go to him. Help him through this. Support each other through your grief. Go to her Wake, for goodness sake. Talk to people. Encourage RP. Help him keep some structure in the household, otherwise everything will unravel.”
*He looked up to her gently.*
“Can you do this? For her?”

*looks rather pained*
I don't even know who he is. I've heard his name--Blakeney--but I wouldn't even know him if I saw him. How can I support a man I've never met through something like this? How can I even get to him? I don't know where he is.
