Take a chance:
Of Troubles & A Damn End ~
"There's no such thing as a bad idea! Only bad people!"
The two laughed and we stared at them blindly. After minutes of realizing our problem, they stopped laughing.
"You should consider how you introduce yourself to others, especially humans." The one in fancy clothing and dark blue hair said.
They called him Undertaker the one clad in black with grey hair and the funny tophat,while the man in fancy clothing and dark blue hair was called Vincent. I wonder how a man like Vincent know Undertaker.
After our moment of embarrassment was over and the introduction, the four of us settled and sat on the top of coffins; drinking tea from measuring cups and beakers.
"So~the reapers have noticed as well~" Undertaker said putting a fingernail to his chin as if he was thinking about it.
"We're here on investigation and report!" Ronald announced, I was annoyed that he didn't want anything to do with London other than to what he was told to.
"Undertaker if you know anything, can you tell us so we can get out of here as soon as possible?" I said, with the intention that after all of this is over that I would get to try a meat pie.
"Meat pies aren't good!"Ronald said reading my mind, I glared at him.
"Actually meat pies are very delicious if they are properly cooked." Vincent said interrupting us.
"Ha~Told you so!" I said rubbing his face in it. Ronald just glared at me and I continue on with the previous conversation of the missing bodies and countless souls.
"So Undertaker what kind of information do you have about this?"
"Information comes at a price of the best laughter you can bestow upon me!"
Ronald and I stared at Undertaker like he was crazy.
"Undertaker I'll pay for them!" Vincent said, the two of us were grateful for him. Vincent whispered something to Undertaker and in a few seconds that seemed unchanged was suddenly filled with a loud laughter from Undertaker. Ronald and I were amazed and at the same time kind of disturbed but none the less, he got his payment.
Once Undertaker settled down, he began musing out loud.
"What do all the victims have in common?"
"They're all men!" I answered
"~Of course, so what does that mean?"
"What else do they have in common?" Ronald said understanding Undertaker
"I don't know the bodies are gone so there's no way of knowing!" I pointed out.
"Their bodies are burned, so whatever they had in common no one would see!" Ronald added
"This guy's smart!" I commented.
Vincent was amused at Ronald and I, while Undertaker still had on a smile on his face.
"Oh! We're done here!" Ronald announced,
"What! No fair!" I wasn't sure what the information was but I wanted to stay in London for a little longer.
"Investigation done!" Ronald pulled out his notebook and wrote in 'Investigation at - - -' I messed him up on the time so instead of 12:02 it read 24:07.
"Aura!" Ronald put his notebook away and scolded me, "We're also suppose to be looking for the bodies!" I added.
"Stop making excuses to stay!" Ronald was fed up with me even though we've only been here for hours.
"~Fine, if you don't want to follow Will's orders then I will!" I stormed out of the shop and made my way back to the shop. Unfortunately though it was now night and it was closing time, everyone was leaving and headed home.
"Aww!" I wasn't sure what to do now, but I know I wasn't going back to Undertaker's shop anytime soon.
"Well, then aren't you investigating?" Vincent said appearing by my side, "Ku~What are you talking about?" I came to the shop because I wanted to try a meat pie not because of the assignment.
"What makes you think this place is dealing with the murders?"
"I don't think. I know." He looked over at me before heading up the stairs to the top level of the shop.
The shop that was selling meat pies had another level of the shop, but it looked more of another business.
"Hey! Wait!" I didn't want to stand alone in the dark on the street, especially with this kind of killer.
The shop looked of someone of a barber and it's was quite quaint. "Beadle, beadle~!" Vincent motioned for the window, "Really?" He nodded and we quickly went through the window. It was a steep roof but we held on, peaking in a strange looking woman came in.
I was annoyed that I could hear what she was saying but the things that were happening explained it all. Well sort of.
A barber came back up and talked to the strange looking woman before slitting her throat and down a trapdoor. "Well it looks like it was the barber." Vincent commented, although he already knew that.
Another man came in, this one was an old man he had his graying on him and wore clothes not like Vincent yet not like the barber. The barber convinced him to have a shave, as he was sitting on the chair, I felt what was going to happen. The barber yelled and jabbed the razor into his neck, the blood spurted at the window on the side that I was holding onto so I nearly fell when I saw it.
"Well it looks like I got what I needed!" Vincent said.
"You already knew didn't you?" I was skeptical of him
"Yup, now I'll take my leave here." Vincent climbed down and landed on his feet.
'Lucky!' I thought, I continued to stay outside the window until the barber left but now there was someone else in there. It didn't matter this person wasn't as threatening. I opened the window and climbed in. "Not fun to do, when in a dress!" I struggled with the tutu part of my dress. I felt eyes on me.
"Hello!" I said acting normal, the person was cross-dressing and pulling it off really well.
"Well~Whatever he said applies here!" I said as I ran out of the room, loosely following the barber.
I finally came down to the basement which led to a series of tunnels underground, there was a giant incinerator and giant oven. There was more space than needed but I guess it was helpful in case of a serious order. The tunnels were lit with some candles and the giant incinerator, there were bodies far from the incinerator and near the oven.
Oh~!" Now I get it, it was a little late but now the case was closed and that meant investigating was now the only thing left to do.
"Who are you?" The little boy from earlier in the evening came out of the shadows.
"I'm a reaper and I'm here to collect these souls, so that the demons won't take them!" I said slowly thinking about why I told a child what I really am.
"Are you going to take mine?" He wasn't fearful, nor nervous but at neutral.
I looked around to make sure Ronald wasn't around.
"Umm. . .how about I let you go? And you get out of here. . ."
I was a trainee, I can only do so much. So it was either let him go or take his soul along with those that were coming.
"Even if I did what kind of life can I lead now?" I guess he was kind of right, seeing that he killed the barber but then again. From the files that I had, there was one of a recently deceased little boy that had parents, kind parents.
"Here." I wrote him the address of the heartbroken family, "As long as you don't say anything about this and don't ever mention to anyone you should be fine!" I pushed him towards the door of the shop.
"Why are you doing this?" He stopped looking at me, such an innocent face tainted by blood. Just like her. My dear unborn sister.
"Don't worry about that!" I continued pushing him towards the door,
"If ever we meet again then I'll tell you!" He understood and ran out, for a moment it was quiet.
Until Ronald came with Will and Grell.
"My Au~ra!" Grell came running at me with a hug, I laughed and ran towards him. We gave our dramatic speech and dramatic cries until Will hit Grell on the head with his scythe.
"Wi~ll you're so cruel!" I let go of Grell before he has a chance to spill blood on me,
"There is a total of five bodies in the room, while the other bodies were made into meat pies." Ronald looked over at me to see my reaction at his statement.
I wasn't really sure, "You're mean Knox!" Well I had to say something!
"Get to work you two! Including you Sutcliff!" William scolded Grell who was treating his head wound, for the next hour, Grell and I were figuring out how many people were killed and baked into meat pies, while Ronald and Will were viewing the Cinematic Records.
In the end it was a total of sixty one men, and including the five that were in the room that was a total sixty-six. All of them were middle class men who had beards, mustaches, or other facial hair.
"Guh! That's gross!" I commented as Grell and I left the scene, creating more mischief. I could hear Will's shouts for us and Ronald laughing at us, we didn't far. . . Just like any other day with my mentor.
AUTHOR'S NOTE:
(This probably sucked D: but I liked it!)
(DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN ANYTHING BUT MY OC! :D)
Anyways because I take forever to update, I wanted to update something so this came up! :D
And a reason to listen to the entire soundtrack of Sweeney Todd *I love that movie!* / character songs: Ronald's & Grell's. :D
I don't know what meat pies taste like but I think they would be pretty good but after seeing Sweeney Todd I'm kind of nervous to try one :P
I don't know if it's an accurate number of killings.
I felt bad for Toby for going insane so I wanted him to have a nice ending. . .(I forgot to name him D: FAIL)
I can't tell Undertaker jokes sooooo yeah. . . . . :D
The time is really the word count of the first chapter and this chapter! :3 (it's far fetched!) - - - (adding useless words so that the time makes sense -_-)
Umm. . . .uhh. . .so I will update this (if you like) and I will also update for my other story :D (Sometime that's in the distance future! o_o)
It will all make sense sometime later! I'm still working out the kinks!
(ideas/thoughts are welcome)
