[It's sunset. Raphael is perched on a telephone wire, watching people scurry about to get to their places of safety before sirens. Even though it's cold, he's dressed the same as ever, not seeming the least bit bothered by the temprature. He doesn't look at the camera as he muses.]

I wonder what he'd have to say about it. His own death.

I'm sure he'd be amused. I wonder though... would he have wanted to be buried? Cremated? Left out for birds to pick apart?

[He actually chuckles at that. It's a kind sound. Not the least bit bothered by the gorey nature of the last part.]

Goodbye, Undertaker. Rest in peace.

...You're joking.

[Video]

[angelify]

I'm not.

[Video]

[littlest_lord]

How could he die?! Of all people?!

[Video]

[angelify]

Another example of the oddness of the Core, I guess.

[Video]

[littlest_lord]

But he...can't die. He can't.

[Video]

[angelify]

I think he'd be rather pleased about it, personally.

[Video]

[littlest_lord]

It isn't funny.

[Video]

[angelify]

He'd disagree.

[Video]

[littlest_lord]

I know he would. He'd drool everywhere.

[Video]

[angelify]

Ahhh yes. He'll be missed.

[Video]

[littlest_lord]

I wouldn't say missed. His departure is simply inconvenient.

[paysdelamour]

... you're sure? He's... gone?

[angelify]

Yes. I'm sure, Francis.

[paysdelamour]

Merde-!

[He looks angry at himself, or perhaps angry at the Core, or a mix of both.]

I should have... spent more time with him, while I still had the chance. He was a good man, if not strange. But some of the best people are.

[angelify]

It's never enough time, sometimes.

I wouldn't beat yourself up.

[Undertaker, dead? Is that even possible? She was sure she sensed---]

[.....]

[Well. Another grave to make a string of origami for.]

[deathknellgrell]

...Undertaker?

[angelify]

Mmhm.

[deathknellgrell]

You're--

How would you know, you bloody pigeon!

[angelify]

I was living with him after the Tower collapsed.

[deathknellgrell]

It's a lie!

[angelify]

Have I lied to you before, Grell?

[deathknellgrell]

You're mistaken, then!

He's Undertaker, he wouldn't die, that would be mixing business with pleasure!

[angelify]

I get the feeling he didn't have much choice.

[deathknellgrell]

This is not saying I believe you - cos I don't! - but what happened to him?

[She remembers that name, and what he'd done to Ciel, and before she can quite remind herself about why speaking ill of the dead is a bad idea (or at least socially unacceptable, she's hitting the button on her NV to respond.]

Perhaps you could bury him in a suitcase.

[video]

[angelify]

Oh, his body is already gone.

[whippings]

[Well, she's not going to take it back now that she's said it, so:]

I was just contributing to your hypothetical scenario, of course.

[voice]

[thehighcost]

He'd probably have a lot to say about it.
