PatchedUpNevermore just posted something about Death sleepwalking đ Credit where itâs due, but if you have any ideas for young!Death, Iâm sure weâd both be thrilled! :D
The first time it happened, Death was at the peak of his growth spurt, a traumatizing era for Absalom. Not only he was just discovering his hidden necromantic talents and was the source of all morbid encounters among the Nephilim camp (souls randomly rising from the dead, eerie screaming and moaning, blood exploding from the dirt underneath his feet without any warning, dead bodies half-twitching and half-running in random directions with only several functioning mechanical body parts), he was also experiencing all the awkward phases of a growing Nephilim. The "talk" Lilith instructed him to give him left them both shaken enough, and he damn well didn't need to wake up with Death entering his tent in the dead of the night, souls flickering around his feet, stumble silently towards Absalom and then crash in his weapon storage, practically waking the entire camp.
After that, everyone had just had enough. They didnât give a damn if he got hurt during his sleepwalking âadventuresâ, as long as he let them all sleep. Weapons were placed at the tent entrances to at least discourage his subconscious from proceeding. Ropes and chains were used to tie his legs together, but were never used again when he began laughing hysterically (still in his sleep) and kept laughing until he was set free. Water buckets, sleeping concoctions, traps, caskets, boxes, rocks, boulders, tree trunks, nothing ever stopped him. But after he was found in the process of ripping the soul out of a sleeping fellow Firstborn, all while snoring peacefully, Absalom and the others simply decided to beat him up if it happened again.
That went on until he finally managed to generally master his necromantic talents, and limited himself to just walking out of his tent and silently gliding through the camp and return not long after, now experienced enough that even asleep, he doesnât stumble into anything or anyone anymore. Suffice to say, itâs an unnerving sight, but at least one shouldnât worry about his well being, not after he got repeatedly bonked in the head with Absalomâs axe while he was held still by his brothers and only woke up politely confused with minimal damage.
