Undertaker's Diary Week Two

January 15th 1881</u>


Ah, my little diary today marks our first full week together! Isn't it wonderful? Now I shall fill you with the many wonders of my days and I shall look back on this in many years and...and... hm... maybe I'll just write a word a day or something.

My, my, you'll never guess who I met today! Why William of course!  It was quite strange really... I was out on one of my midnight walks which I had decided to take early because I was bored.  I think it was eleven or something... Anyway, I was just wondering along, considering whether I should go and have a coffee or something (yes, I can do normal things too) when what should I find but a rather tired, bespectacled reaper talking to himself! It was rather funny, because I followed him for aaaages and he didn't even notice until I put my hand on the poor guy's shoulder! You should have seen how much he jumped! Honestly, he jumped higher that my darling little bunny! Anyhow, apparently he was all stressed out about something (I wasn't really listening) and was panicking and being all depressed and stuff, and since I was bored, do you know what I did? I invited him over to my place! I can be such a nice person... reaper... undertaker? I'm nice.

So, we got back and it was only as I was opening the door that I remembered I had laid out my dinner already before I left, so because I'm so clever I shouted out 'surprise!' and pretended I'd set it up for him! Fortunately I always set out two plates anyway, so I can pretend I have at least one friend... Somehow I ended up asking him if he wanted to stay the night to calm down, and now he's sleeping rather hesitantly in one of my many coffins~ I don't see why he complains... It's lined with silk!

I made William breakfast this morning even though I'd forgotten he was here... I went out into my living room and I suddenly heard a groan coming from one of the coffins. Thinking that one of them had finally come back to life, I ran over only to find a disgruntled William rubbing is back. I quickly remembered to pull my hair over my eyes and ran into the kitchen to pretend that I was making breakfast...

It was a very boring morning actually, just him grumbling and I was glad when he left for the office early. Again, an unusually large amount of bodies today. I'm beginning to think there is something strange afoot... I guess I'll just see what happens. I might go for a haircut tomorrow actually.



January 17th 1881</u>


What a fun day! I went out for my haircut as I planned and spent a good hour laughing at the shock on the hairdresser's face as I replied to her question of 'what do you do then?' with 'dead people.' and her question of 'any...plans t...tonight?' with 'most likely arranging dead people.' It was hilarious~  It was also funny when she found that hold in my head that I thought would have been gone by now... Poor girl nearly fainted! Haha! Damn woman cut my fringe too short though, probably from the shock when I told her she would die in two weeks in an accident involving scissors. I think she's quit her job now. And hates me. She's still going to die.

The other fun thing that happened today was Grell's bunny. Apparently it dies and he screamed like the girl he is, so somehow some weird neighbour got hold of my number (why is Grell writing my number down anyway?) and told me to come over, so I did just for the fun of it. Damn neighbour even had a key! Talk about robbing opportunities! Anyway, I took the bunny away and stuffed it for him; I figured he'd want a memento of her. Iris seemed very intrigued, but I told her she had a while yet. I returned the bunny with a note. I hope he likes it~



January 18th 1881</u>


Another strange and unexpected day! William again, but this time I found him tied up in some weird building crying his eyes out. How did I find him? I don't even know. Well, actually I do.

I'd gotten word that five people had all died in the same building the night before and went to do some private investigating (wearing my hat super low, because I only realised this morning just how much hair had been cut off, and my eyes might make me seem suspicious... Lucky my hair grows quick) and as I was walking along, I could sense a supernatural presence in one of the apartments nearby and thought I'd have a look. Imagine my surprise when I snuck in only to find William tied half naked to a bloody bed (quite literally too!)! He's was crying, bloodied and felt hotter that a crematorium, and I realised he had a fever. Well obviously I was confused as you are, I mean, what's the likeliness of me running into him almost two days in a row? How unusual! Oh yeah, and he was tied to a bed... I guess that's confusing too.

Well, no worries, I untied him and picked him up and took him back to my place even though he kept complaining that he didn't like being carried, especially by a guy because it's weird. I don't see the problem; I carry guys all the time, albeit they be dead. Poor guy must have spent at least two hours in my bathroom scrubbing himself raw. He just spent the rest of the day sleeping while I played with my bunny and talked to grieving people.



January 19th 1881</u>


Another hectic day with William to blame... I swear he's stalking me or something. He got up feeling a bit better and said his farewells, then just a few hours later he phones up with Grell saying he'd killed someone! I really can't deal with all this you know, that hole in my head has started to hurt for some reason. I should really get it looked at... Oh well.

Anyway, I went to the supposed site of the 'body' and there was nothing there except a few specks of blood! Really, the two of them can be so overdramatic sometimes...

Apart from that, I didn't do much today. I tried to look into the five people dying at once thing, but didn't have much success.  I suppose it's not my place to do such things anymore anyway...



January 20th 1881</u>


Well, I phones William and told him that I hadn't found a body and then he just started panicking more. I should probably try avoiding talking to people for a while, all they do is cry at me.

I got that hole in my skull checked out today. Stupid doctor shaved away some of my hair to help to heal! I am so embarrassed... but like I say, my hair grows quick and I have my hat. It's a good thing I always wear it so that it won't look suspicious is anything like this ever happens.

Haven't heard much from the others lately. Apparently Alan is in the hospital... I hope he'll be alright. If I'd known sooner, I could have visited while I was there with my skull hole. Still a lot of extra bodies coming in....strange.



January 21st h 1881</u>


My darling bunny was missing today! I spent three hours looking for her before realising in horror that she must have climbed into one of the coffins this morning. It was all very stressful as I considered the thought of her getting burnt alive or buried before finally picking a random person to try and bursting in on their funeral, ripping open the coffin and finding no trace of her. Of course the people were angry, but this is Iris we're talking about! It was so stressful my head hurt again...

However, this story does have a happy ending! Sort of... I found her outside when I came back, much to my joy but she was getting attacked by some giant bird that came out of nowhere! I managed to rescue her though, even though she now lacks a right eye and half a foot. She's lying bandaged up in my bed. I'm sure she'll be OK, after all, she's mine and I've taught her to be strong! Stupid bird... Well at least I have a new pet now. He's called ripper and he lives on my roof. I told him if he ever touches my bunny again he's a dead bird. But he's free to attack other people if he likes.
