[The new curse has resulted in the Villa gaining one (1) formidable-looking resident Responsible Adult(TM), a nine-foot tall being shrouded in a full-length black cloak and cowl, his face obliterated by mask in the shape of a characature of a skull (as depicted).
Behold, Vatheon, the visage of your new Death Personified, the identity of whom is only revealed when he at last speaks, raising two hands out of his cloak to clap them, twice.]
All right, children! It's the beginning of a new week, and I trust you all know what that means--
[For those who know him, this is Death the Kid, all "grown up". By his recollection, he's been kicking around for hundreds of years, and Death City, the place of his birth, is a distant and fond memory.]
--It's time for our field trip to the coral!
[And it seems he's taken to caring for a Villa full of young children like a fish to water. The apple, it appears, didn't fall far from his father's proverbial tree.]
Line up single file in the foyer, please. If we're done early, we can all have hot chocolate in the Plaza. Don't be late, punctuality is a virtue second only to cleanliness!
[ooc; open to action threads, too, both in the villa and around the bubble.]

action
I think it's time we did, don't you?
[He extends a hand to Night.]
Come along.
action
He hopes they're nice.
At the extended hand he hesitates to let go of Kid's robe, almost as if he let go Kid would just up an disappear... Nevertheless, he manages to quickly unleash his grip and grab at Kid's offered hand.]
What're they like?
action
[He has to stoop to keep a hold of Night's hand, and yet somehow, he manages to remain conversational.]
Just like you.
[Sometimes, they stumble.]
But if I told you more, that would spoil the surprise. Think of it as a scavenger hunt, Night.
action
He keeps his grip on Kid's hand strong, not wanting him to let go. His lifeline in this strange place away from home.]
... Night? [He looks up at him again, tail twitching in his other hand.] Is that me?
action
[He minds not how strong Night's grasp on his hand is. Death the Kid had learned a lot about the people he would later oversee in the centuries that he'd spent between then and now.]
And yes, just like you! And sometimes, it'll be difficult. That's how you'll know it's worth doing!
action
But 'm not good, am I? Demons aren't supposed to be... !
action
[One hand occupied, it's the other that emerges from his long sleeve to point a finger upwards.]
Demon or not, you get to choose. Just because you're supposed to be one way or another doesn't always mean you must.
