Grim reapers, always associated with the bringing of death and despair. In reality they live just like human. They go to school, go to work, grow up, fall in love, have families, and die. The only difference is that they live much longer, they can see when someone is going to die, they help those who are dead cope with it and sometimes they have special side powers, such as power over time, the sight of seeing the strings of fate. So over all they aren't half bad.
In all the years the reapers have been around, this is the first generation to have half blooded reapers. The eldest reapers soon to pass gave the go for the Reapers to mate with humans as long as only the children of the same gender of the reaper parent becomes a reaper. The main reason they said this was, well, Reapers' have been mixing for many years and it is that day and age that it is finally OK.
Currently, there are four main families living in this town. The Megido, The Strider, The Makara, and The Leijon. Currently, All of the families are mixed with humans. The least mixed would be the Makara family, they seem to stay within them selves or with the Leijon.
Well enough of the Reapers. We are here to speak about a Megido. The youngest one to be precise. Her name is Aradia Megido. She has the dominating features of a Megido. Maroon hair and deep brown eyes with specks of maroon. She looks very similar to her mother and her sister Damara. Currently, she has a partner and that partner is a Strider. Striders and Megidos seem to have been partnered up for a very long time. It is a surprise to know that neither family has merged with the other yet. Currently, she goes to skaia high school. So that is a good enough beginning so let us go to the real story.
Winter, cold, dead, and on the most part silent. The schools were all out in the town. Lights were hung and reefs all around. Near but sat a small coffee shop buy the name The Midnight Crew, it was a popular hang out for the teens of Skaia. Currently the place was empty let alone the only worker inside. Aradia, she was leaning against the counter waiting for somebody to wander in to order something so she doesn't just waste her time here. At that moment she was texting her best friend Sollux. Apparently it was date night and she was invited. Who knows why, she hasn't had a boyfriend since her and Sollux broke up over a mutual agreement that they were better friends.
"I guess I'll close the place up early." She started to head to the back when the bell over the door rung. She turns around to see who it was. Oh great, the wannabe hipster Eridan Ampora. She doesn't know his story and she usually gives the benefit of the doubt, but she can't with this guy. He is too much of a jerk. He orders a coffee and acts all high and mighty. Aradia grumbles and gets to work. Soon enough as she was almost done a certain blond haired shade wearing kid walked in. Her partner in reaping, Dave Strider. Eventually the stupid boy with the streak in his hair leaves without giving a tip.
"Yo Megido, one decaf and an apple strudel." Seems Dave was in for some service rather then storming in here with their next job. He leaned up against the counter and started up a conversation. "Date night it tonight. Who ya bringing?" You can hear hints of a southern accent when he spoke.
Aradia shook her head and handed the coffee and strudel over. "I don't know who I would bring. I just learned about it today meaning I didn't know." Dave hands out the money and Aradia takes it putting it in the cash register.
"I would take ya but you know..."
"Yes, you and Karkat are going together."
From Daves expression you could tell she wasn't suppose to say that. "Shh,Megido you want Karkat to get all pissy and ditch? This is our way of showing everyone that we are gay for each other, in the least ironic sense." Aradia just laughs. Everyone already knows about the two, but it seems the two haven't figured out that the others have figured it out yet.
"Oh, I know who you could take." Dave suddenly smirks and Aradia felt a bit uneasy. "Dirk. He doesn't have a date either. Jake is off somewhere out of town with Jade. It wouldn't be like a date, but like a 'I don't have a date so me and my friend will be dates' sort of thing." Aradia just laughs and agrees. Might as well, not like she had anyone else to choose from. She then shoos Dave out of the place to lock up. Guess date night wont be to bad for her, she is going with a friend. Plus she doesn't have any reaping tonight. Maybe date night will be fun.
