➳ Third Person POV ➳
Rabecca follows Spirit hesitantly as they go up the continuous stairway towards the DWMA. Upon entering she notices how large it is and looks above her as they are walking to the Death Room seeing the hallway is made of large, red guillotines. Her observations are soon halted when she bumps into Spirit not noticing that they have reached their destination. Spirit walks into the Death Room with Rabecca following him onto the platform in the center of a room with graves on the ground and clouds in the baby blue sky surrounding them.
"Lord Death? I brought Rabecca, the Death Scythe we were all so interested in." He says to a tall dark robed figure with a skull mask as a face. The figure known as Lord Death turns his attention to Rabecca and speaks up in his goofy accent, "Hiya! Hello! Howdy! Nice to see you Rabecca, Spirit! As you know, Rabecca, you have been brought here given your masterful skills, and seeing as you are a certified nurse. We are in need of someone like you to fill in the place as a nurse for the school and an assistant professor seeing as one has left us recently." he says and before she could speak up he pushes a button to an intercom and asks for a man by the name of 'Stein' to stop by the Death Room.
Within a matter of a few seconds Rabecca heard the sound of shoes hitting the floor and turns to face a tall, slender man walking in -stepping on the platform- and stuffs his hands in the pockets of a white, stitched lab coat. "Lord Death, you wished to speak to me?" the man says with a deep, flat tone.
"Ah yes! Hello, Dr. Stein! This is Rabecca Perish, the Death Scythe we all heard about. She's going to be enrolling here as the school nurse, your new weapon , and will be of assistance to you in classes as a replacement for Marie." Lord Death replies. All that was going through Rabecca's mind at the moment was "your new weapon".
"What the hell? Nobody said anything about me being anyone's partner." Rabecca finally speaks up in bewilderment. The three men turn towards her and had briefly forgotten she was there. Stein looks down at her through the glare in his lenses and smirks. "So you're going to be my new partner, huh? Interesting. ", he says gravelly.
Rabecca glares at him, reaching in the front pocket of her also stitched lab coat and grabs out a cigarette and lights it. Putting her lighter away, she takes a deep breath from the cancerous stick, letting the smoke pass between her lips causing Stein to smirk. It had turned into a staring contest between the two smoking scientists, and they didn't hear when Spirit spoke to Lord Death.
"Sir they are so much alike. It seems like we made a perfect match for Stein. HEY STEIN! YOO-HOO! " Spirit whispers, but yells out towards Stein at the end of his sentence causing the scientist to turn away from his gaze and look at the obnoxious man . "What?" Stein snaps. Spirit walks over placing a hand on the mans shoulder, "Would you just look at that chest, I mean who wouldn't be attracted to an ideal woman like tha–", before Spirit could finish, Lord Death had reaped chopped him causing Spirit to fall and sprout blood from his head and nose.
Lord Death coughs grabbing the attention of the male and female in front of him, "If I may, Rabecca will be starting tomorrow in order for her to get settled in today and prepared. I'm allowing the rest of the day off for you, Stein so you can help her move in and get comfortable." The two nod but before the could leave, Death speaks up one last time and sweat drops, "Oh and don't go around dissecting each other." He says and with that, the two mad scientists leave smirking.

After Stein and Rabecca went to her apartment and grabbed her things they headed towards the cemetery that held the stitch covered home/laboratory in which Stein resided in. He then helped her get her things into the no longer empty bedroom across from his. After Rabecca got settled in and had put her things away she wonders around the place.
She comes across two metal doors and peeps in through the small rectangular window seeing Stein hunched over a metal table having many surgical items surrounding him. 'He must be dissecting something right now' causing the woman to smirk and pushes the door open walking inside without receiving any kind of reaction from the tall man.
➬Stein's POV➬
During one of my daily dissections I hear the doors of my lab opening and the sound of heels on the floor echoing throughout the room. I smirk upon hearing the sounds come closer to the table and stop in front of it. I look up locking eyes with Rabecca's dull blue one. "Hello there Rabecca, may I help you?" I say in my usual dull voice.
She grabs a pear of gloves and puts them on while taking out her own scalpel, "No, but I can help you." she says in a sultry tone causing my smirk to grow wider. "I didn't think Lord Death was being serious when he mentioned the two of us dissecting. I was hesitant in believing that someone shared the common interest in such an inhumane task such as this." I say still looking at the woman in front of me.
"Well Stein what can I say, I'm a woman filled with madness and mystery. Now let's finish this and head to bed, we wouldn't want to be tired for class tomorrow now would we?" She says smirking. We finish the dissection successfully and she heads to her room as I'm filling out work on my clipboard deciding on heading to my own room.
Sighing, I change and go onto my computer deciding to start a journal entry about my experiences on living with another person ever since Marie left so suddenly. Once I'm done I slip under the covers of my metal bed and drift off into a deep sleep thinking of what tomorrow will bring.
