It seems it is time for me to get up again. Yesterday was an ordinary day, and it is likely today will be as well.

It is time for me to do the job I have been doing since I died so many years ago. I am a reaper, one of many, and it is time to start my day. But... how should I start it?

remove the hoodie

>>653688
By brushing your teeth, using the toilet, getting dressed, and then having breakfast at tim hortons, or starbucks if you live in...

Wait where even are we?

Morning yoga. Keep that lack of body in shape!

>Remove hood
Oh no no no no no, I can't do that, it would be rather strange looking, especially since I lost my skull a few weeks back. It just wouldn't be... decent.
>Where are we?
Why, we're in The Deadlands, of course! This is my room in the local Reaper Hall. Well, local is relative, but we're technically local everywhere. Dimensional whatnots, and such. I don't understand how that part works. It's not my department.
>Yoga
Excellent idea! I'll just- Ah. It turns out that you can't really do yoga very well in a robe like this. Or, at least, you can't do the 'warrior' pose.

>Ah. It turns out that you can't really do yoga very well in a robe like this. Or, at least, you can't do the 'warrior' pose.
Hence the prior instruction to remove the robe. See, logic.

He got no skull tho.

You sure act silly for someone who has to inform people they died and then escourt them to wherever or whatever it is your occupation entails.

>>653882
Oh, you misunderstand. Just because I'm a Reaper doesn't mean I actually harvest souls or anything. That's actually a rather common misconception though. A Reaper is anyone who works with the dead after the whole 'bit that makes them dead' regardless of how. Er, I mean, the actual dead, not their old place of residence. We're not morticians.
ANYWAY people tend to think that Reapers are all about harvesting souls and stuff because the only Reapers they ever see when they are in a position to tell anyone else about them are our field agents who, ah, ARE about harvesting souls and stuff.
I however am a Judge. My job is to use a scale that was given to me to judge souls that the Reaper field agents indirectly deliver to me through that apparatus on my wall that kind of looks like the exit of a gumball machine.
On an unrelated note, it appears that almost all forms of stretching are indeed made difficult by this robe. Also the whole 'undying construct of bone' thing, but mostly the robe. Still not gonna take it off though.

I guess I could go for some food before I get to work. Let me just stop to get this so that it doesn't clog up the exit. Wow, that's actually a pretty bad design, come to think of it.

177 or so bones of various size and shape
1 S.C.A.L.E.
5 Packages of non-filling snacks

Now then off to get some food. This symbol I'm walking through is my name, by the way. Sort of. It's sort of a designation, which is all a name is at its core, really. I used to have a 'real' name when I was alive, but that was a log time ago, and I've long since forgotten it. But ah well, breakfast time.

Oh. Ok.

Well it's better than yesterday's 'booberry pancakes' I guess.

"Hello, I would like to order one screa- cream of wheat please!"

...

"Hello? Anyone?"

Oh dear, that's not good. What should I do?

Climb in through the window.

Welllll, maybe start off by sticking your hea...lack of head through the window and looking around.

Peek inside a bit. If there's no one there, maybe you should just climb in and fetch it for yourself?

Don't mess with the cooler. You don't know what it does, and you don't want to be held responsible if you mess something up.

Reapers can form a really low range telekinetic field, so I can just push all the buttons forcefully with that at the same time and it will kind of be like punching I guess? But I'm not going to be punching anything, bones are not the best for that without flesh around them. Seriously.

Ok, so I went further into this.... kitchen? Or whatever it is. There appears to be a Cooker on the wall on the left, one of these fancy new magic things that can cook food anyway you like it so long as you stick the ingredients in it. Some people say that it takes the real magic out of cooking, but honestly it's just really convenient. There's also a door. This is strange, as doors aren't really a common thing around here.

>>654942

The door lead to a kind of dry storage room place for dry food and not-food things. Also a single water bottle I guess. It's kind of a mess here, and a bit empty.

There it is! Cream of wheat! Just what we came here for!

So, should we just take it or should we keep looking for some of the employees? I mean, you haven't eaten yet, but taking it without asking would be impolite.

>>657553
It's not evaluating some sort of monetary worth, it's evaluating moral worth. We can just let everybody into the afterlife. I called this one worthless because they are particularly low in moral worth. Probably a murderer or something.

>>657554
Have you ever tried to balance a glass on a perfect sphere? It's not easy.

But yeah that mist is the soul that was in the sphere. Some souls try to run away by getting out of the sphere right before it cracks fully, but they usually just fade away really quickly outside of it. The sphere acts as a sort of life support system, you see, and so leaving it doesn't really go so well.
The soul ran (floated?) into the cooler room. I proooooobably don't need to bother with it. Probably. I mean it should just dissipate on its own.

>>657935
Make sure. A soul this low should not be given the chance.

>>657935
> worthless morally
... Okay, less fucked up. Still a little, though. I mean what if your scale has a glitch?

>>657941
Not to mention, it's already been a weird day. Shouldn't have any effect on the souls, but best not to take chances right?

Can a cooler be used as an improvised life support system for a soul?

Better check it anyway.

>>657935
Dude, unless the mist sinks to the bottom of rooms all the time, the entire fucking room is overflowing with him now, so you might wanna kill that mist before something bad happens.

>I proooooobably don't need to bother with it.
That basically guarantees it'll be a problem up to and including a recurring villain, you know.

Ok, so the general consensus is that I should't immediately go after the soul, which I'm going to refer to as the salamander from this point on. So here are the places I can go to and what I could go do there. There are other places I can go to, but they probably are irrelevant here.

Management I could report this to upper management, but I don't really trust them to deal with this in a timely manner, and they might blame me.

Acronyms Department Doubles as our R&D, they might have some better equipment to deal with the problem, but if I just go here and don't report it to anyone, I'll be going it alone.

Field Agent HQ Reapers here may have some ideas how to proceed, and some might help me, but that's not a certainty.

Judge Hall I can report this to my direct superiors, they can pull less strings to deal with this, but I'm less likely to get in trouble with them.

Of course, none of this really matters if we can't find anybody.

call up the judge hall and give them the truth. you were doing you job judging, when the soul did some freaky shit

Field agents are best suited to tracking down live prey. You have live prey that needs to be subdued as quickly as possible, before it attacks someone. Worry about capture and equipment transport after you corner the beast.

Visit Field Agent HQ, they sound best suited for tracking down and neutralizing an active threat.

Can you visit one on the way to the other? I'm thinking both Judges and Field Agents, precedence to Judges.
