at once short of life, and long of sorrow.
[You are dead.
Well, obviously. You remember how you died. It was...not fun, to say the least. But hey, at least you're off that ship, right?
Except...you don't know exactly where you are now. It seems like a house, but if it is, it's...a work in progress. Most of the rooms are empty, and your steps echo up through the marble columns and down faint mosaics on the tiled floor. The few windows you find have a green light gleaming through them; you can't really see anything beyond the eerie light.
It feels like you're in a temple of some kind. The columns and mosaics seem to indicate it is something like that-it's certainly reminiscent of something out of an ancient culture, perhaps even one you're familiar with. For some reason, though, it's clear someone-or something-lives here. One of the rooms to the south is stuffed with pizza boxes. Another, larger room has a makeshift futon in one of the corners. There are imprints of multiple footsteps all through the dusty floors as you look around, many of them leading to a small alcove to the west. And-
and there's a giant van. Just. hanging out there. Completely out of place with the seemingly ancient decor. And inside, there is the sound of light snoring.
Ok then. You're apparently not alone in death, after all.]

He meanders around for awhile, investigating, but he's kind of slumped. And pouting. ]
Hey, is anyone here?
[ Later on: he sees the Gimme.
Instead of avoiding out of shame, he stalks right up to him. ]
Hey asshole.
Gimme
Very
Menacing
Aura.
Are you sure you want to do this.]

[The Gimme comes closer.
Oh this figure is very, very tall. And dark. And ominous.]

And he wants to know why it went wrong. ]
Tell me what happened between us. Play charades if you have to.

[Keith will get the sense that there won't be further bad blood between them. Heh. Blood.]

There is a shadow in one of the rooms. It swiftly walks past and then behind Keith, swift as lightning.
What is that?]

But the man is faster, and Keith's fist hits the dull side of a blade. He glares at Keith with intense blue eyes.]

[ Keith says this in an even tone of voice, not moving again just yet. ]
no subject
You're new.
[Not a question.]
no subject
And then kill him.

[ Dante slides in, throwing an arm around Vergil's shoulders. ]
That's bold and stupid!

Honestly, I'm still shocked that's not how you went, Dante.
