But I'm scary! [Oh, she recognizes him now. Stick in the mud kid.] Why, are you a ghostbuster?

[icy_heavens]

You're running around blindly with a sheet over you. [And therefore just stupid and not scary.]

[... Ghostbuster? What?] No. Shinigami.

[acemedium]

Terrifying!

Shini... oh, are you related to that Santa guy? Are you an elf?

[icy_heavens]

Can you even see anything from under there? [Nope, not terrifying.]

[Blink. Again: what?] Who? [He has no context for this. He'll deal with this "elf" thing in a minute.]

[acemedium]

I can totally see! [...No, she can't. But she couldn't anyway]

Santa.. oh, nevermind. I guess you're not an elf after all... [DRAMATIC SIGH] What's a Shinygamey, then?

[icy_heavens]

[He doesn't know who Santa is supposed to be, okay? He hasn't spent a lot of time in the Living World. But he decides that it must be a good thing that she figures he's not an elf.]

Shinigami. [It's not difficult to say, so say it properly.] Death god.

[acemedium]

[Santa is Urahara. ... Apparently]

... D-Death god? [Forget everything else.] R-Really...?

[icy_heavens]

[Sigh.] Really.

[acemedium]

What do you mean, Death God? Do you guide spirits to their resting places....?

[icy_heavens]

Essentially. Protecting them and purifying those in need of it as necessary.

[This is a much easier conversation than trying to talk about why she's running around with a sheet over her head. This conversation makes sense.]

[acemedium]

Wow... really? [Okay forget everything else, she's just gonna poke her head out of her sheet to try to squint at him through the darkness]

Is it really true?

[icy_heavens]

[Is it too soon to sigh again? It must be. He'll keep it in check. At least the stupid girl is getting the sheet off her head.]

Of course it is. I wouldn't have said so otherwise.
