>from the swirling mess of the chaotic domain, Death did form

>holds her arms out dramatically

...Kenny McCormick, your time has come.

>her eyes crinkle playfully

Little early for you, don't you think?

>>14997

I know you like your late night booty calls Death, but you gotta calm down, my girlfriend is asking questions.

>dry smile

How goes it, nee-san?

>>14998

Very sugoi, Kenny. Maybe a bit desu ne.

>TN; 'sugoi' means 'peachy keen'

Thanks, greentext. Your notes are always relevant and very helpful.

>nods at Kenny

What's on your mind.

>>14999

>whackjob

I need some help finding a ghost. It's wandering the halfway house I'm at, and stalking my friends. And before you give me any of the 'Death can't interfere with mortal matters' speech, I just want to know about it. You don't have to lift a delicate little pinky of yours to help.

That's nothing new to you, though.

>>15000

>visibly wilts

Harsh right out of the gate. Can't blame you.

>starts to walk through the darkness

>swirls of color and abstract oddities pasa as they go, indicating some sort of motion through the undead world

Who are you looking for? And please, don't say it's Adolf Hitler, he's requested no more visitors.

>>15001

Oh no, I used the wrong picture.

>pwoink

There we go~

>>15001

>>15002

>long silence

Adam Shepherd. Connected to some sorta cult in a city in Maine.

>>15003

Aah...I see what this is now.

>now this is an interesting crossover

Never took Adam for someone who stalked little kids, but you learn something new every day, hmm?

>waves her hand

>the residual spirit of the stalker begins to form

>a tired, old body forms in front of Kenny

Ugh...where am I now?

Death, what's going on?

>>15004

Thanks.

>>15005

No Death today, pal. Just me.

>happy Kenny is gone

>and there's a lot of anger left to vent

Are you the one haunting my friends?

>>15006

Aren't you a little young to be talking with spirits?

>>15007

Too young to kick a spirit's ass too, but I'm about you.

>seething

Yes or no, are you still stalking people for the cult bullshit you wer involved with?!

>>15008

You're going to kick my ass? I might be dead, but I still have military training, sport.

>...

I'm not stalking anyone. And even if I was, I wouldn't be doing it for the the Order. It might be too late to be any good, but I'm done with them. Where would you even get an idea like this? How do you even know me?

>>15009

Investigating the "Order", your name came up as one of the people connected to it. You screwed up a ritual, and we thought you'd be trying to make it up to them.

So, the question is, if you're done with the scumsuckers, who isn't?

>>15010

I don't need their forgiveness anymore. They're all burning in Hell anyway.

I don't know who your stalker is. I don't even know why your friends would be stalked in the first place anyway.

...unless...

>lost in thought

>>15011

Unless what? You can get lost down memory lane when I know what I need to know, now come on.

>>15012

Hold your horses. We've got all the time in the world here. Your stalker isn't going to be someone from my town, and I doubt it's someone from Silent Hill, but it could be one of those kids from that orphanage.

Have you heard of a place called Wish House?

>>15013

Wish House. I haven't, but I'm willing to bet one of my friends does. What about it?

>>15014

Most people don't join the Order unless they're born in it or they're brainwashed. Wish House was our attempt at the former strategy. Raising future members. The orphanage is probably gone by now, but who knows how many children were raised into the cult by them.

>>15015

...and so you think it was one kf the kids from this brainwashing house.

>snorts

Do you know what this kid may be doing? Or more importantly, how I can stop it?

>>15016

The Wish House sect had different goals than our sect did. We just wanted to keep Shepherd's Glen safe. They wanted to bring God to the world.

>>15017

So you don't know. Great.

>angrily huffs

...the name of the house, though. We can look into that. Find a name, and find a way to get rid of the ghost. I'll make sure she isn't pulled down into this occult mess again...

>begrudging look

Thanks. I appreciate it.

>>15018

You're doing all of this for some girl.

>smug smirk

That just makes this rich. Now get out of here, so I can get some sleep.

>>15019

Would have done the same for any boy that'd been through what she has. No one her age should have to play the tough soldier, should have to play hero.

>the irony

>scowls at the ground

Rest in peace, old man.

>shuffles back to Death

>>15019

Thanks for having us, Adam.

>>15020

Did you find the answers you were looking for, Kenny?

>>15021

One of them. Tell me why the fuck I'm immortal and we could wrap up this conclusion committee session with a neat little bow. Unless that'd rid you people of your social experiment.

>>15022

>do you really think that's what I see you as

>somber look

...I don't know what's keeping you alive, Kenny. People dying, that I'm used to. They deny it, get angry, bargain, and then feel crushed. But at the end of the day, they always come with me. That's the way it's been since time began, no matter how long it may take me to visit someone.

But you? You leave. You're the only one who comes and leaves. Something takes you back, no matter how many times I take your hand. You defy everything I exist to do. You confuse me, Kenny, and leave me feeling like no one else can; unknowing. Unknowing and helpless.

>pulls back his hood, and strokes his messy hair

And I'm sorry.

>>15023

...don't try to play the humble hero bullshit with me.

>brushes her off with a scowl

If you were sorry, you would have tried to help me. Or Karen, and Kevin. But you didn't do anything, no one did.

>pulls his hood back up

So I'm done waiting for people to help me. I help myself.

>>15024

Kenny, you're rightfully angry, but you need to understand that I tried-

>>15025

Stop giving me EXCUSES!

>balls his little fists

Stop telling me about how much you wanted to do something! I'm tired of hearing it from you, from everybody! Pity is something fortunate people have, so they can feel like they're "good" inside, even though the only things they give to us is sorries and excuses! I don't care!

>...

>snff

Just send me home

>>15026

>heart = broken

>droops like a rose

...alright. If that's what you want.

>a door materializes between them

>looks like the door to his cell room

Good luck with your search, Kenny.

>>15027

Yeah, don't fucking sweat it. I'm sure I'll be back in a few hours.

>goes through the door and slams it, leaving Death of the Endless to her pensive thoughts

If anyone has any characters that they'd like to introduce through Death's Domain, feel free to do so, otherwise that's scene
