Shelley appears to have been shot. This is both irritating and inconvenient.

However, she will allow that despite the waiting period, the afterlife is acceptable, the company is pleasant enough, and her wardrobe is similar enough to her normal one as to cause no problems, despite the fact that it leans towards red and black - neither of which are her favourite colour. (Redheads should not wear red a lot, she feels.)

What is causing her consternation is the sudden appearance of a place she has not seen in over a year, and had almost thought she never would again.

You'd be excused for thinking she'd never been here before - let alone lived here - as she stands frozen in the doorway, staring about.

"I come here from Seattle, in early 2004... it is my... base of operations, on Earth." The Devil sips her drink. "So, you did die before this new entrance? You seemed so, but I was not sure."

[shelley_winters]

"Oh, quite close," Shelley says, brightening. "Yes, a little while before. I was just looking about the waiting area with Natalie when I saw the door in. How about you? Do you come here very often?"

[7twistedwishes]

"Technically... I am here all the time?" No warning, and there is a second Devil on the other stool, so Shelley is between the two. "Call us Legion: there are many of us."

"I could keep an avatar here nearly all the time, and I do."

[shelley_winters]

Meep.

Then, "Oooh."

That's actually rather neat. "That must come in handy!"

[7twistedwishes]

Both laugh softly, and speak with one completing the other's phrases. "Oh, my dear... you have no idea. We like to have fun... which is very understandable, considering our crummy job... don't you think?"

"Anyway, there is the matter of presence and omnipresence... we can be everywhere on earth, but it is quite different... from being somewhere."

Shelley thinks about this for a moment.

"I see," she says. "Like the cuckoos."

...

I swear, it makes sense to her.

The Devil raises a brow then smiles.

"Yes. Exactly like that." Makes perfect sense to the Devil as well.
