    [Dave and Clarissa's House]

    Oooo! Agitating dead people! How fun! Clarissa would normally leap at this offer, chain it to her wrist, and steadfastly deny any attempt Dave made to weasel his way out of the agreement, but she has much more grave issues to deal with right now, lamentably.

    "Actually, Dave, we need to talk. About these, if you're wondering."

    Clarissa motions to the spread of nine tails arrayed regally behind her like the plumage of a male Indian Peafowl. They are quite animated for pieces of flesh grafted onto a body, almost as though they possess their own will and at times go so far as to embark on their own flights of fancy.

    "These are the seven sins, Death, and Life. You're already well-acquainted with the seven, but I'd sincerely hoped that you'd never have the chance to meet Death."

    "While I've been able to control the seven for most of my existence, Death, a curse imposed on me for..."

    "Promise you won't hate me now, Dave..."

    "Designing and properly implementing death."


    Clarissa holds her tongue to allow those words to sink in. She feels no need to elaborate on them further, thinking them more than enough for any mortal living in constant fear of death to comprehend.

    "Everything dies because of me. And I mean everything. Some gods die too. Death conquers all. It can even best my own spirit and usurp my body for relatively short parcels of time."

    "To prevent that..."

    "I need to kill. Daily. Whatever Death demands as payment. Before the incident, I used to be able to wipe out an chunk of a population amounting to a little over 400 people per year if I decided to kill whenever it was most convenient for me. But now the rules have changed. I'm getting these urges... I know I must kill again."

    "I wasn't asking about the tails because they looked kinda cute on you."

    "And Clarissa, if you hadn't made death, then so many bad things would have happened because we weren't able to kill the people making them happen. Hell, I wouldn't even be here today if it wasn't for death. Plus, nothing should be living forever, it's kinda cruel."
    "And what do you wish to do about these urges? You just want to go out and kill random strangers?"

    Tirin, most likely, is preparing a seafood-heavy breakfast for Elena.

    That would be good, though Elena is still sleeping.

    Since getting a job as a biologist was hard nowadays for her, especially with the whole Umbrella thing, she was working the graveyard shift at a Convienance Store in Inside.
    But, she was happy. She was living with the love of her life and had enough money in the bank for the both of them to pay rent till the day they die.
    Someone should wake Elena up soon, before she smells the food that'll make her run and glomp Tirin.

    "Pfft! Try explaining that one to the pigheaded Asclepius! Oh wait you can't. He's dead now too. Pity. Tragic. Let's be honest, he deserved worse."

    Clarissa grumbles, even now outraged at the nerve of those who singled out her notions of renewal as treacherous blasphemy.

    "At least I had the opportunity to singe him myself."

    Clarissa whispers, secretly applying the balm of vengeance to her still open wounds. She crosses her arms and blows a rebellious strand of hair up and out of her view.

    "And yes. That's exactly what I have to do. Not what I want to do, mind you, what I have to do."

    Clarissa speaks, steadily growing both grumpy and dour. Bah! This did nothing to improve her mood!

    "There's good news, though! If I neglect another of my aspect until it gets so powerful that it can control me, I might be able to blot out..."

    Clarissa, without warning stiffens for an instant. After her body relaxes, she shakes her form and presses her back against a nearby wall and stares up at Dave, a lustful glint in her eye and a coy smile upon her face.

    "Silly me."

    She laughs, curtainality seeping into every defining note of her tone.

    "I almost forgot all about the housewarming surprise I have waiting for you..."

    "Upstairs..."

    "In our bedroom..."

    Tirin certainly has no plans to do so. From past experience in Umbrella, getting glomped when getting Elena breakfast usually ends quite well for him.

    In any case, since some history is needed, Tirin is bringing in plenty of money too; he's got the skills to work either as an empath or a mercenary, and has been doing both.

    Dave and Clarissa's House

    Oh, that wonderful new house smell, that odor of dust, mildew and slowly rotting rodents sequestered beneath the floorboards, speaking with poetic brevity of new and exciting experiences in store and hundreds of dollars worth of repairs needed!

    Seriously, they might not want to use the upstairs bathroom until they can get someone in to fix all those leaking pipes... And possibly a biohazard team to remove that nasty looking gray mold with all the eyestalks.

    But I could talk all day about the many, many horrible little surprises in store for Dave and Clarissa as they explore the ancient and austere mansion they've purchased for themselves and for the most part, said surprises are far too mundane and non-lethal to waste time upon. No, if I were them* the only semi-sapient infestation I'd be worried about would be the one currently crawling, wriggling and clambering through the walls towards the dynamic duo of demon and doctor, muttering angrily to itself as it goes.

    Dave's eyes lit up!
    "A present? For me? Yay!"
    He ran up the stairs into their bedroom right away.
    Mostly because he did get the cues and he loves presents.
    Which is why he jumps onto the bed.

    Elena's nose twitches as she smells the food.
    Slowly, but silently, she gets out of bed on all fours and stalks into the kitchen. She waits until she's close enough to pounce onto Tirin and glomp him mercilessly!

    And Tirin (who, being fairly familiar with his wife, had made sure to set down anything that might go flying, or is sharp) is glomped! Not that he seems to mind.

    [Dave and Clarissa's Manor in Need of a Serious Tune-Up Job]

    This is why Clarissa would be the perfect manager for a construction company. She maintains contact with...things with specialties in every single field imaginable (and some that aren't).

    Unlike the excitable Dave, she is not so engrossed in the collision with impending curtains that she is willing or able to ignore that weird, raspy noise coming from the wall...

    Rats. Must be rats. Rats in the walls. No good can come of that. Don't need Dave cannibalizing people again in some funky HP Lovecraft spin-off. Nope.

    In her most charming and pure voice, Clarissa beseeches the "rats" in the walls to journey out into the open.

    "Hello there mouses! How are you today? Why don't you step out into the light so I can give you a nibble of cheddar cheese?"

    With both hands hidden behind her back, she cautiously makes her way into the center of the room, listening intently for any scratching resulting from her attempts to foster rapport with the vicious vermin. That way, she'll figure out which area of the house to rigorously Hadouken!

    Dave and Clarissa's House of Horrors!

    Ooh, Clarissa might not wanna do that. It is an old house after all and you never know which one of those walls might be load bearing! Especially seeing as the scratching sound and the accompanying muted muttering of angry, angry words seems to be moving around awfully fast, starting in the northern wall and quickly moving into the floor, up the eastern wall, the malformed little beastie scuttling all around in search of, err.... something or other?

    Maybe it's after cheese?

    Or the lifeblood of the innocent?

    She reluctantly lets go of him, going over to snack on the seafood, even if it was raw.

    Actually, most of it should be cooked by now, in various ways. Though the eel was prepared as raw sushi.

    In any case, he follows her, tail, as usual when he's near her, going to rub behind her ears.

    [Dave and Clarissa's Thematically-Suitable Manor]

    Then whatever that pest is, it is fresh out of luck! If it coincidentally happens to be searching for either of those two things, lifeblood of the innocent or cheese, it won't find either because Clarissa imports Dave's meals directly from a neat little kitchen in Hel and doesn't really carry any cheesy ingredients on her at any point in time. Why it shouldn't be able to sniff out the second item is pretty darn self-explanatory. Clarissa is by no scale innocent and Dave is in a room upstairs...

    A room that is far removed from here...

    Not to mention that he's couldn't actually fit the "innocent" mold in Clarissa's book.

    Now, Clarissa absolutely must exterminate scurrilous nuisance scurrying about within the walls. It is ruder than anything within acceptable bounds and deserves to be shot. And mutilated. And desecrated.

    Mostly because Clarissa doesn't appreciate it. Mostly.

    The walls might be load bearing roof supports, but there's no way the floor could be!

    That's why Clarissa is stomping on it with great gusto and a fair stack of annoyance.

    That's good, but vaguely worrisome. If she was still being messed with, they might want her back, after all. Of course, it could just have been Zero, which was always Tirin's theory anyway. Not that he had anything against him, but they did seem worse after being near him, and matched his issues pretty well, so...

    Tirin smiles, going to pull Elena into his lap.

    "Well, Restaurante Enchante is supposed to be quite good, and we've got the money, so how does there sound?"

    Dave and Clarissa's Possibly Haunted House

    Well, true, stomping on the floor probably won't bring the house down, but it could certainly result in lowering Clarissa herself a couple feet. This house was billed as having no less than two basements and while the salesman did leave out a few important details, he wasn't lying about that at least.

    Assuming Clarissa has decent aim, some sense of timing and her usual considerably above par speed, slamming her foot against the floorboards in an attempt to crush the nuisance scurrying about beneath will yield a loud half-squeak, half-screech of pain and a satisfying squish of flesh and bone being crushed underfoot...

    ...Aaand also the much more worrying sensation of the boards giving way and her leg going straight into the air of the cellar below, the creaking of the rotten floor beneath her suggesting the rest might well collapse soon enough.
