// Why did it take me this long to realize this was a Minecraft Movie reference I'm so disappointed in myself

Humans are so colorful with the ways they interpret me.

" Of course, I hope you have a safe journey back. " Wink! " Sayōnara, to you. "

Retracting their arm, back to its normal state. " Certainly not. I am one of a kind, after all. " That, and most of the people who meet them don't stick around to talk about it.

Black smoke surrounding their arm. It extends, stretching like elastic. Just to give Wheeljack a poke on the shoulder " Now I have! "

" Perfectly understandable. Well, I sure hope I haven't interrupted you, then. "

" Life sure had her her way with this one.. Got any friends, here? It's a great planet for outtings, I'd say. "

" Hmm.. Less a gift, more of something that comes with the territory. Like your ability to change forms. Second nature. How are you enjoying Earth so far, by the way? Lovely little planet, isn't it? "

" You think so? It's rather fun to do, actually. Very freeing, being incorporeal. " Giving a little wave of their hand.

" Been a while, certainly been a while. " Clearing their throat " Call me Thana. I have many names, but that would be my first. "

Not quite 'Magic', per se.. But certainly not natural! " So! Introductions! What might your name be, hm? "

Finger snap! " And sometimes, I remember! " Cue their body disappearing into a cloud of black smoke. Now, it would be reforming on a more elevated surface. It's easier to talk at eye level.

Oh, but this one doesn't crush like the others. Clearing their throat. Ahem. " Cybertronian, right? Sometimes I happen to forget. "

Unflinching; But slightly moved. That is a very large finger!

// I love acid reflux keeping me up past 4 am in the morning

ah, the amount of times i've heard that one.. well, if you insist!

be careful up there! heights are dangerous!

On Earth, using a black umbrella. " Well, the scenery's certainly changed, hasn't it? "

.... Oh. That is a lot of death.

// Wait, do the Cyberlife androids have souls?

Taking the form of a crow. They are Borbing right now.

In my defense, I'm always present on every world.

// Everyone: wow death is terrifying, i bet the grim reaper is the scariest spirit of them all.. Thana:

( Ahem- ) " Just enjoying myself, that's all. "

" Oh, come now, You have to d!e before I take you. That's how it works. "

( Very much real life! ) " You look startled. Are you alright? "

( ..... waves c: )

( ah, that one has saved other humans from her clutches ) ( she respects that )

Sorry, Cirrus.

// I just realized, the whole tragedy of 'Immortal dating a mortal' doesn't APPLY to Thana, because when mortals d!e they would be going to THEIR realm anyways.

// Those are the only two I'm making. Again, don't wanna overwhelm and I don't think any of my other muses would be as interesting.

Mortals seem to question these things fairly often. I'm happy to provide answers ! tellonym.me/pulchramortem

// I have zero impulse control.

( Humm... What to do? )

" Now, now. The humans are much younger than we are. We've had billions of years to adapt to our surroundings, while very few humans even last to their triple digits. If you remember, even I started out like that. "

" Hm, well.. That certainly does sound difficult. Truly, I wish I could help in that regard. But this is a pretty unique situation. Not one that I've had to help many souls with.. "

" You aren't always so easy to track, of course. " The nature of chaos, after all. " So, anything new you've been up to lately? You do have a particularly exciting existence, hmm? "

( Vampires, hmm? )

" Merely a check in. Can't just leave you on 'Read', now, can I? " They heard that term *once and they don't even know what it means. No, Thana, you aren't using it right.

⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ 𝑲𝒂𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒂 ⠀⠀

" Absolutely peachy. " Cheerful as always. " I'm always present on Earth, yet sometimes I forget to show it. "

// Feeling the muse for them.. Brushes this account off.

Thana just.. Giggles to herself. " Calm down, calm down. I'm not here to *Take you. Sometimes, I just visit. "

" Not face to face, but I have heard of you. 'Grim Reaper'. Pleasure to finally meet. "

// By the way, I apologize for any of the starters being lackluster. It's difficult making starters if I don't know the other character well enough. Sometimes I had to think of the vaguest possible situation for them.
