----------------------------------------------

"Christ where in the blazes is Ronald!" I ask angrily, peering half of my body over the cruise rails in search of the blonde reaper. "The cruise is going to leave any minute now." Grell stated the obvious, seeming a tad bit worried about the dense playboy.

"Do you see him Grell?" I ask them as I scanned my eyes through the large crowd at the docks. My red-headed friend shook their head as they were also looking for Ronald, "No I don't..." He trailed off, trying to find him one last time.

Will isn't here either, he told me before we went here that he still has some paperwork to sort out and won't be arriving at the scene until the deaths start to take place so in the meantime, he has placed me in charge of the two reapers. Which shouldn't be that hard since they actually listen to me more than Will.

Then you heard one of the dock members yell out, "All boarding passengers, please make haste!" Which gave you and Grell the impression that the ship is about to leave.

"Look! It's Ronald!" Grell points out, gently nudging you at your side to get your attention as you spot a blonde-haired man in a trenchcoat and a matching fedora; holding a large suitcase rushing his way through the crowd.

As the workers then began to set aside the pathway, Ronald rushes up to it and jumps through the gap and into the ship. You gave off a relieved sigh as you slumped your arm on the railing. Grell huffing at Ronald's tardiness. Then the ship starts to take it's leave, you see people from the docks waving at the passengers on board with you, you feel tempted to wave back at them

But there's no one you can really wave farewell to.

You then straighten your back as you saw Ronald coming towards the two of you on the deck, Grell narrowed their eyes leaned their arm on the railings.

"Ronald there you are! Christ we thought you wouldn't even bother to come here!" I say to him as he sheepishly scratches the back of his neck as he puts his suitcase down, "What's even in that suitcase anyway?" Grell whispers, suspiciously staring at the bag, I shrug at their question "Must be his death scythe?" I whisper back.

Feeling absolutely breathless, he then leans on the railings as he huffs in relief, "Phew! Made it just in time!" He says as he takes his fedora off.

"At least..." Grell remarks as they stare at Ronald with disbelief, I cover my mouth and snicker a little at their statement. Ronald looks at the both of us and laughs, "It doesn't really matter anyway, I'm on board, all according to plan so--" He pauses before giving us a cheeky grin.

"Wind in our sails! The future is looking bright!" He proclaims, I sigh at this and look at all those people...who're going to die very soon of course.

"For us, that is." He finishes, and Grell and I nod in agreement. We were told earlier by our superior that we will be given extra pay for even bothering to do this task, and it sort of makes this all worth it since I really have to customize my scythe even further.

"I'll explore and observe the passengers, as we have all day to do so." I tell them as I take out my list, I then turn to them and state "I suggest that you two do the same,"
