So, question for everyone. If you’re a magical being of some sort that supposedly blesses people, but you’re also known as a Reaper, what do you think that exactly means?

Tell me about bad luck. I've regained some of my domain, apparently, and it's been causing all sorts of shit to happen.

I'm really sorry you're like this too. It sucks.

[surprising]

yikes, that sounds rough... depending on the type of shit, i imagine that's pretty inconvenient to live with

don't worry about it! it was hard dealing with it at first, but i just accepted it.
centuries go by, but humans stay the same, believing in the same things about your luck

[coinflipped]

Honestly, that sounds discouraging. Kudos for you for actually getting over that.

[surprising]

haha, thanks
but if you're also a magical being
haven't you lived for centuries as well?

[ is he just jumping to conclusions... ]

[coinflipped]

I am. I'm apparently 1000 or somewhere around there.

[surprising]

oh! so am i. i'm approaching my thousandth year soon
i don't know whether a thousand years of bringing misfortune to people is a good thing, though...

[coinflipped]

Neither do I.

But I imagine after a bit you get numb to the idea of it.

[surprising]

of course. but it's hard not to think about it, even now
sometimes, you wonder things like — why you're still living when you've made everyone around you suffer
and by you i mean me
but hey, that's just comes with the Bad Luck package ( っゝω・)っ

[coinflipped]

...I want my normal life back...

[surprising]

unless you can turn back time
it's probably not happening

[coinflipped]

Unfortunately, it's probably not.

Whatever.

[surprising]

we just have to deal with it
but depending on how unlucky you are, that's easier said than done

[coinflipped]

Yeah it is. I guess I'll just have to see how it goes and hope things don't get bad.

[Spoilers: things get bad.]

[surprising]

[ oh no........ ]

haha, i'll hope for you too
by the way — i know we've never chatted before today and all
but if you ever want to talk to someone in the future that understands this bad luck thing
i don't mind hearing you out

[coinflipped]

You know, I'll probably take you up on that offer.

Thanks. I may just need someone to listen at times if things go south.

Likewise, I offer the same.
