[There's a lot of clunk sounds suddenly and a lot of angry muttering on the other end.]

THIS TASTES METALLIC AND GROSS AND NOT WHAT I SIGNED UP FOR. MAYBE MY TONGUE TURNED OFF? IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE? HOW DO THESE BUTTONS WORK? WHAT IS THIS THING? WHERE IS MY CANE?

WHERE AM I? [That mumbling has turned more into yelling and it sounds like she isn't even aware that its recording.] THIS WORLD SMELLS LIKE NOTHING. A WHOLE LOT OF NOTHING.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

[If you're in New Bark Town, you'll probably see a girl sitting on the ground with her Dratini. She's shaking her Gear like that will actually do something. Otherwise, she looks really upset right about now. She keeps patting the area around her whenever she tries to pet her Dratini. Honestly, she keeps missing that damn thing completely. How do function in real life?]

Um yes, but running an entire division requires a lot of peacekeeping skills so I was just listing the most recent scenario off the top of my head. [ She's just a mess, ignore her Terezi ): ]

I have dealt with hardship but it wasn't too difficult. The afterlife is kinda like that. I know I had it really easier than a lot of people, cause I'm from the richest district and if what the poor districts are described as is true... [ And she knows they are... ] I'm really lucky in that regard.

[searsblindly]

You can't just buy more of these...whatever persimmons are. It would help if I knew what they were passed being edible.

Oh! So you know what it's like being dead! Here I thought I wouldn't know more people who are dead but not so dead. Then again, I'm not surprised! I think that just happens to be the story of my life. I can smell dead people. [Completely off topic.] Dead people have rich and poor districts? What.

voice

[tendered]

We can but squad five's persimmons are the best persimmons! They're very delicious and very tenderly cared for as they're being grown.

Yeah! I mean, I guess I'm dead, so I do know what it's like to be dead. I also know what it's like to pass people to the afterlife. [ And. Yeah. Momo just grins. ] Yep! The afterlife is sorted into 80 districts that go North, South, East and West. The 80th district is so unruly and warmongering, that it's hard to even live there. There's nothing you can subsist on, unless you subsist on blood. The first district is very wealthy and clean and there's no hooligans at all.

What do dead people smell like? [ She wished she had that trait. She just senses them. ]

voice

[searsblindly]

Oh. Your afterlife sounds really weird! But it's probably more normal compared to living in dream bubbles full of memories and being able to talk to people who are alive and traveling through. In retrospect, none of that really sounds like it made much sense.

It depends! Everyone has a different smell because I smell colors. I was joking about smelling dead people specifically! If you switched on your video, I would be able to make you out by your taste. At least, that's what I used to be able to do! I guess humans don't really get that here so I'm stuck smelling air and grass.

voice

[tendered]

We don't have dream bubbles, and I'm not sure what those are, but that doesn't sound too strange. I mean, I know this one girl whose afterlife was created by something called Horrorterrors. I can't even imagine what that must be like. [ Besides mostly scary. ]

Humans can't smell or taste colors. They can only smell scents. But, on the bright side, there's a lot of ways one can change their scent! I smell like peaches. But I wonder what I'd taste like to you...

voice

[searsblindly]

We must be talking about the same thing! Feferi talked to the Horrorterrors and that is why we have dream bubbles! Horrorterrors are kind of monstrous, but they're not that bad I guess! And they gave all our dead friends a place to move onto! And we can even still meet them, even if it's briefly.

I would tell you if I could, but I can't! Maybe in the future I'll be able too and I can tell you then.

Re: voice

[tendered]

Well, I don't know a Feferi. I know an Aradia though. [ Does that help? She thinks it helps. Kinda. ] I'm glad you still get to see them though.

Hmmm! Okay! It's a deal! I'll help you get back your powers too!

voice

[searsblindly]

I would see them if I could! [Terezi mostly just cackles this time.]

I don't know if you can actually help me with that! I think this place just kind of sucks by not letting me be able to use them. I don't think the circumstances that helped me learn them in the first place are all here.

voice

[tendered]

Oh! That's right... I'm sorry about that. [ Momo has failed. ] Are these the same horrorterrors though?

Well! I'll find a way to lift the power cap on the people here! Therefore, you can be able to taste and smell again! [ MOMO: SO SELFLESS. ]

voice

[searsblindly]

You're forgiven! But they probably are!

I am sure many will be happy to hear you do that. You would be a hero to many, even.

voice

[tendered]

Yeah! I just hope everyone can use them responsibly! I don't want mass chaos because I wanted to do something nice for you...

voice

[searsblindly]

People seem to be the kind who would easily abuse that kind of thing! You should be careful.

voice

[tendered]

Well, I'll try to find a way to enable it for only trust worthy people like yourself. [ And everyone else. ]

voice

[searsblindly]

You are very determined to do this, aren't you. [She ain't gonna stop you.]

voice

[tendered]

Yeah! Of course I'm determined! I'm a Shinigami!

voice

[searsblindly]

Shinigami?

voice

[tendered]

Yeah! We cross the dead over to the afterlife, and purify evil souls and keep order in the afterlife too, kinda. [ As orderly as they can make it for themselves anyways. ]

voice

[searsblindly]

So you guys are like super heroes for the dead? The good guys that keep Justice and Order in balance?

voice

[tendered]

Exactly! That's a very good way of putting it! [ She's impressed by how quickly Terezi got it. ]

voice

[searsblindly]

Of course! I, too, plan on taking up a profession that upholds the law. Even with my current disability, it is only a minor hindrance.

voice

[tendered]

I'm sure once you get a psychic pokémon that aspiration will come to life!
