Time for the introduction of Kid's new neighbors. I hope everyone will love the fun/random/crackish antics of the story that has little to no discernible plot. Remember, all this is in Kid's point of view. Also since it's a reset universe of the DWMA Rants, you don't really need to read them to get anything in this story.

Disclaimer: People with a sane mind would not want this story to ever become canon.


It was a typical day for me, enjoying a good book while drinking some coffee. It was basically daily routine for me to enjoy the silence of the Gallows Manor when Liz and Patty left to shop and or hang out with the other girls.

I took another swig of my coffee, to which I quickly put down due to loud knocking. I can't help but sigh from having to put the book down, but I was glad to have a break from the routine. Don't get me wrong, it's nice when you don't have to second guess every moment of your life, but when everything gets too predictable... It just gets painfully boring.

After opening the doors, I stared at older man standing taller than me. He was nicely dressed, and to my liking, his clothes were kept nice and balanced. Though I dread to say the same couldn't be said for one feature, his hair was parted to the left despite his facial features being nicely symmetrical. Though he appeared tired due to stress lines underneath his eyes.

"May I help you sir?" I asked, it had just occurred to me that I have never seen him around Death City before.

"I'm here to let you know that me and my family have moved into the home across the street." He stood to the side and pointed at an apartment, though I thought it was strange, I never knew that it was up for sale.

"Oh, well welcome to the neighborhood." I gave him a soft smile and reached out for a handshake which was quickly returned. "My name is Death the Kid, or Kid for short."

"Paul Smith, though I need to warn you about my family..." He trailed off, that's odd, he seemed to be so stoic and calm before now. "My younger brothers and sister are very... wild, I thought it was best to warn you as soon as poss-" I stared in shock as man crashed out a window and fell onto the streets, the shattering of glass causing me to worry for his safety. I was mortified to see it was the same apartment that Paul said his family was currently living in.

"Um... I'll take it that he is one of your siblings?" Before the man could answer another person jumped out the window, though this one appeared to do it on his own accord and only to meet up with the other quicker. This young boy was laughing and even helped the fallen man up, their laughter seeming insane due to the whole context of crashing out a window, second story window I might add.

"So that's what happens when you double kick someone doing a handstand!" The young one stated happily, grin being unnaturally wide. It is beyond me why anyone would ever use double kick and handstand in the same sentence. Or why they would ever test that question.

"Those are my brothers..." Paul explained, now I can see why he has stress lines, he has to deal with that rowdy bunch. But for some reason I have a faint familiarity with that... Oh yes, Patty and Black*Star, now I see why I sympathize with him. "The young one with black hair is Roy, and the redhead that fell currently popping his back is Keith."

"Hmmm..." I can't exactly put my finger on it, but they seem so unremarkably familiar to me. Why am I having these sudden nostalgia? Oh, of course, Stein spoke of new students, how could I be so forgetful? "Well, as much as I want to check on them to see if they're fine, I must head back inside now." I honestly did not want to get stringed into their antics, I already have to deal with that 'assassin' I don't want to have more ruffians ruining my day.

"I understand, and don't worry much about Keith, believe it or not, that's not the first time he was kicked out a window that wasn't set on the ground level." At this point, I had made it my mission to completely avoid them. If that's a usual everyday thing, I want no part in it.

"Right, I hope your family adjusts nicely to Death City." I gave a smile and walked back inside, getting a nod as Paul walked back over to his home as I closed the doors. I took a breath of relief as I went back to my book, forget what I said earlier about predictable being boring. If I have to deal what something like that on a daily basis, I'd sooner throw myself at the Kishin unarmed.

Just as I licked a finger and turned the page, the blissful sound of shattering glass could be heard just outside. It took every ounce of self-restraint in my being to ignore it and continue reading.


Chapters will be short since there is no actual plot. I just see random skits and such in this series. Hooray for not making sense! Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy this random stuff.
