In this kingdom / the sun never sets; / under the pale oval / of the sky / there seems no way in / or out, / and though there is a sea here / there is no tide. / For the egg itself / is a moon / glowing faintly / in the galaxy of the barn, / safe but for the spoon's / ominous thunder, / the first delicate crack / of lightning.
"Egg" โ Linda Pastan
From the field of realityโs expanse, uncreated and pure, Within a celestial palace, which is a seminal point [of light], pure, unceasing, and radiant, Through the natural expressive power of oneโs own mind, uncontrived and empty, Intrinsic awareness, radiant and empty, arises in the form of Vajrasattva, [Seated] upon a bejewelled throne adorned with lotus, sun and moon [cushions].
Excerpted from The Tibetan Book of the Dead (2007) โ Padmasambhava, Karma Lingpa. Translated by Gyurme Dorje, written and edited by Graham Coleman.
Why shouldst thou fear the beautiful angel, Death, / Who waits thee at the portals of the skies, / Ready to kiss away thy struggling breath, / Ready with gentle hand to close thine eyes? / How many a tranquil soul has passed away, / Fled gladly from fierce pain and pleasures dim, / To the eternal splendor of the day; / And many a troubled heart still calls for him. / Spirits too tender for the battle here / Have turned from life, its hopes, its fears, its charms, / And children, shuddering at a word so drear, / Have smiling passed away into his arms. / He whom thou fearest will, to ease its pain, / Lay his cold hand upon thy aching heart: / Will soothe the terrors of thy troubled brain, / And bid the shadows of earth's grief depart. / He will give back what neither time, nor might, / Nor passionate prayer, nor longing hope restore, / (Dear as to long-blind eyes recovered sight,) / He will give back those who are gone before. / O, what were life, if life were all? Thine eyes / Are blinded by their tears, or thou wouldst see / Thy treasures wait thee in the far-off skies, / And Death, thy friend, will give them all to thee.
"The Angel of Death" โ Adelaide Anne Procter
I felt a Funeral, in my Brain, / And Mourners to and fro / Kept treading - treading - till it seemed / That Sense was breaking through - / And when they all were seated, / A Service, like a Drum - / Kept beating - beating - till I thought / My mind was going numb - / And then I heard them lift a Box / And creak across my Soul / With those same Boots of Lead, again, / Then Space - began to toll, / As all the Heavens were a Bell, / And Being, but an Ear, / And I, and Silence, some strange Race, / Wrecked, solitary, here - / And then a Plank in Reason, broke, / And I dropped down, and down - / And hit a World, at every plunge, / And Finished knowing - then - /

There pass the careless people / That call their souls their own: / Here by the road I loiter, / How idle and alone. / Ah, past the plunge of plummet, / In seas I cannot sound, / My heart and soul and senses, / World without end, are drowned. / His folly has not fellow / Beneath the blue of day / That gives to man or woman / His heart and soul away. / There flowers no balm to sain him / From east of earth to west / That's lost for everlasting / The heart out of his breast. / Here by the labouring highway / With empty hands I stroll: / Sea-deep, till doomsday morning, / Lie lost my heart and soul.
"There Pass the Careless People" โ A. E. Housman
You have dragged me on through the wild wood ways, / You have given me toil and scanty rest, / I have seen the light of ten thousand days / Grow dim and sink and fade in the West. / Once you bore me forth from the dusty gloom, / Weeping and helpless and naked and blind, / Now you would hide me deep down in the tomb, / And wander away on the moonlit wind. / You would bury me like a thing of shame, / Silently into the darkness thrust, / You would mix my heart that was once a flame / With the mouldering clay and the wandering dust. / The eyes that wept for your sorrowful will / Shall be laid among evil and unclean things, / The heart that was faithful through good and ill / You scorn for a flutter of tawdry wings.
Body text excerpted from "The Body to the Soul" โ Eva Gore-Booth
Title โ Rumi
A Bird, came down the Walk - / He did not know I saw - / He bit an Angle Worm in halves / And ate the fellow, raw, / And then, he drank a Dew / From a convenient Grass - / And then hopped sidewise to the Wall / To let a Beetle pass - / He glanced with rapid eyes, / That hurried all abroad - / They looked like frightened Beads, I thought, / He stirred his Velvet Head. - / Like one in danger, Cautious, / And he unrolled his feathers, / And rowed him softer Home - / Than Oars divide the Ocean, / Too silver for a seam, / Or Butterflies, off Banks of Noon, / Leap, plashless as they swim.
"A Bird, came down the Walk" - (359) โ Emily Dickinson
Something stirs at the base of your shoulder blades and you feel the sting of pain as they burst forth. Stretching them over your head, you feel starstruck as you inspect your brand new appendages.
Your wings are shorter but fuller than you expected, almost wrapping around your shoulders and draping down your back like a black fur stole. No, upon a more intimate gaze, you see a shimmer of emeralds and amethysts, the hidden jewels in the rough. Your heartbeats quicken, and your breath catches in your throat. You don't understand, but the bright shine in your wings almost pulls out a sob behind your squiggly but smiling lips. A feeling of accomplishment fills you once more.
Bravo, Reaper, your wings are that of a Starling.

For better or worse, ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ can find a friend in almost anyone. A rare exception among the other personalities of the D.O.A.A. who skew more toward reserved. Their trusting forthrightness complete with their heart squarely on their shoulder. So innocent and hopeful. Only seeing the best in others before they even have the chance to prove themselves. And while ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ can't remember muchโif anythingโabout who they were in the Before, maybe some things never change and they've always been like this. They're lucky that they've already managed to make some strong connections because that naivety will only put them in Danger's path. But how long can that sweetness last if their friends become bitter rivals on the chase for ๐ฟ๐๐ข๐๐๐?

you're amazed that a grymm of their caliber acknowledges you. you're going to learn so much from them!
๐บ๐๐๐๐๐๐
so, so scary, but in an awesome way. you just wish they wouldn't drop so many snide comment about your bestie, ๐ถ๐๐๐.
๐ผ๐๐๐๐๐
they're so nice, but incredibly reserved. you'll do your best to put a smile on their face.
๐ฑ๐๐๐๐๐
when they dropped their name, you gasped aloud in shock. they look just like they did on that one commercial.
Something stirs at the base of your shoulder blades, and you feel a growing warmth before a bright flash of light blinds you momentarily. Stretching them over your head, you tentatively inspect your brand new appendages.
You gaze longingly at your round, fluffy wings, marveling at the expanse of white feathers. You gasp and then feel silly when you notice the bands of gray coloring the rim of your wings like theyโve been stained in ink; the color slightly washed out as if there were previously failed attempts to get the discoloration out. You avert your eyes, an invisible thread of disappointment pulling them to the ground and lick your dry lips. Swallowing, you take a moment to gather yourself and then shake your head rapidly, the plumes of your wings subconscious puffing out as well. Thereโs no reason to feel disappointed! You earned your wings!
Nice job, Reaper, your wings are that of a ๐ฟ๐๐๐๐๐.

PROFILE.
Previously one of the secretaries at the Shade Advocacy Office, Pigeon always secretly dreamed of becoming a grymm. However, as timeโor the equivalent of it in the Afterโpassed, so did her name during the drafts. She knew that it was rather laughable that a bookish accountant like her wanted to be an adventurer, but she couldn't help herself. And so she had been elated when she first spotted the raven in her bardo, and then euphoric when she passed her Lustration. Until she recognized the familiar banding of a "rat with wings," that is... And while Pigeon is less than thrilled by the outcome, she's trying to find the silver lining. To prove that it's never too late for self-improvement. If only she could keep that mindset going now that her second mission ever is attempting to capture Psyche...

Something stirs at the base of your shoulder blades and you feel the sting of pain as they burst forth. Stretching them over your head, you feel complete as you inspect your brand new appendages.
Your wings are huge, wider than you are tall, white plumes spotted with bands of brown and black. The long primary feathers at the end of your wings fan out to catch the slightest gust of wind and you feel a smile twitch at the corner of your mouth, as tears prickle at your eyes. All the anxiety that you felt since you got here melt away and you finally know who you are and what you are meant to do.
Welcome home, reaper, your wings are that of an ๐พ๐๐๐๐๐ข.

PROFILE.
If those like ๐ฒ๐๐๐๐ ๐ถ๐ข๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ can be referred to as "married to the job," then ๐พ๐๐๐๐๐ข is married to the hunt. It's strange to say that she feels at peace in The Hinterlands but it's the only place she knows with one hundred percent certainty who she is. Gives her clarity unlike in her personal bardo filled to the brim with all the things the person she was Before must have lovedโbut mean next to nothing to her. Remnants of a life that doesn't feel like it was ever her own and nevertheless stick to the marrow of her hollow bones. It makes something twist in the pit of her stomach, putrid and heady like rancid fruit. It doesn't bother her, not knowing who she was. She knows who she is now and that's all that matters.

you don't know why they take so much issue with Pidge, when a dove is just just a pigeon with white wings.
Something stirs at the base of your shoulder blades, and you feel a growing warmth before a bright flash of light blinds you momentarily. Stretching them over your head, you giddily inspect your brand new appendages.
You let out an impressed whistle as you look up at your white wings and notice that theyโre trimmed with a row of gray feathers followed by a splash of black near the tips. Folding the right one so you can see the top of it, you let out a snort, recognition flooding your brain. Thatโs so funny. But they suit you, you think, grinning as you flap them in quick succession trying to dissipate some of the fog that surrounds you. It doesnโt really do much but the act is fun regardless.
Congrats, reaper, your wings are that of a ๐ถ๐๐๐.

A slacker to some, a fool to others, this grymm ends up quite the topic at the office water coolers. It begs the question, why is ๐ท๐๐๐๐ฃ๐๐ gearing him up to be their next successor? What do they see in him that no one else does? Hell if ๐ถ๐๐๐ knows. Right now (and probably after, and possibly Before), he's only concerned with having fun. That's the whole point of this place, right? Finding peace and all that? Honestly chasing this '๐ฟ๐๐ข๐๐๐' soul didn't sound all that appealing until he was told that any grymm partaking in the contest would need to case the target all throughout the living world. And that sounds like a good time if ๐ถ๐๐๐ has ever heard one.
RECENT COLLECTION.
Homo Sapien Soul; aged 10 years; New Kingston, Jamaica. Elementary Student, Accidental fall while climbing a tree. Grieved by their mother and younger sister.

๐ท๐๐๐๐ฃ๐๐
you don't want to disappoint them but you just want to take it easy.
๐ ๐๐๐๐๐
๐ท๐๐๐๐ฃ๐๐ keeps trying to push you into becoming a big brother figure to them but they seem capable enough to you.
๐ฑ๐๐๐๐๐
you don't know why they're always pissed at you. you're just easing them into the new normal.
The concept of "fate" is a contested belief among those who reside in the After, notably for grymm who are part of the inner workings of the D.O.A.A. and are given reaping assignments on orders of ๐๐๐ ๐ผ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐. Are Their Eminence's assignments random, or was it always foretold? For ๐๐๐๐-๐๐๐๐-๐ ๐๐๐, they believe it must've been destiny for them to wholly recall their Before, especially after they are assigned to reap a loved one. After easing them into death and promising to show them around the After, ๐๐๐๐-๐๐๐๐-๐ ๐๐๐ went through their door. However, at D.O.A.A.'s waiting room, the soul was nowhere to be found. No one at the Shade Advocacy Office or even ๐๐๐ ๐ณ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ couldn't recall seeing anyone like that soul. But that couldn't be right. With a sinking feeling of dread they come to the conclusion that their loved one must've gotten lost in the mist. Although traveling through the Hinterlands is ill-advised, ๐๐๐๐-๐๐๐๐-๐ ๐๐๐ has been searching, determined to reunite with their loved one.

their missions to the living world grow longer and more frequent. they're keeping a secret, but will you risk yours to learn the truth?
๐ผ๐๐๐๐๐
you thought you were caught in one of your "walks," but the grymm seemed hypnotized and hardly noticed you.
๐ณ๐๐๐
a coworker you deeply respect. if they lose sight of what's important, you'll remind them of all the good they do.
๐๐๐๐๐
you pity them; it's hard to see someone who is so uncomfortable with who they are as a whole.
Who are you, if not a piece of every person you've ever met? ๐๐๐๐๐ wishes they could remember their Before, even if just a fading sliver of a memory. Back when they used to be nothing but a simple shade, the fear of the unknown grasped them at their core. Despite the warm guidance from ๐ฒ๐๐๐๐ ๐ฒ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ and the other employees from the Shade Advocacy Office that all would be well, ๐๐๐๐๐ refused to set foot in their personal bardo, petrified. No one, including them, would believe they'd be selected for Lustration and actually pass the exam, and end up among the best up-and-comers like ๐บ๐๐๐๐๐๐ or ๐ณ๐๐๐. They've made the best of what they've given. And yet, the shade yearns for the soul they've forgotten. Could ๐๐๐ ๐ผ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ show them what they have lost if ๐ฟ๐๐ข๐๐๐ is to be found?
RECENT COLLECTION.

๐บ๐๐๐๐๐๐
it's easier to think that they only see you as a henchman. it'll feel less like a betrayal when you reap ๐ฟ๐๐ข๐๐๐ from under their wings if you think about it that way.
๐ฝ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
maybe you are mistaken, but you swear you saw them talking to a human when you were out on a mission.
๐๐๐๐๐
you tend to watch them whenever you are in their presence. trying to learn from the way they navigate the world.
๐ต๐๐๐๐
it says a lot that their plucky determination is able to get a cynic like you to care.
๐๐๐๐๐ has never had the luxury of a easy life. Not in the After and certainly not in the Before. Everyone underestimates them because of it. They're used to being pitiedโbut instead of losing spirit, they'll use it to their advantage. Like they always have. The universe was not created fairly, not everyone is blessed with the same opportunities. Those not born with luck or talent have to make do. So who can blame them for taking advantage of all the tools at their disposal? And it's not like they don't feel bad about it! Things have gotten way more out of hand than they expected. With ๐ต๐๐๐๐ and ๐ป๐๐๐. But how was ๐๐๐๐๐ supposed to know things would turn out like this? They only wanted to look a look a little better in comparison. They didn't mean to hurt anybody or to ruin ๐ป๐๐๐'s career... but to speak up now, that'd be the end to their new afterlife.
RECENT COLLECTION.
Homo Sapien soul; 45 years; Lagos, Nigeria. Taxi Driver, car accident. Mourned by their loving wife and two sons.

๐๐๐๐๐
this is as much as an information game as it is a manhunt. they know more than they're letting on with their connections at the D.O.A.A. ๐บ๐๐๐๐๐๐ is scary, and ๐๐๐๐๐'s an easier mark.

How could any grymm betray another grymm? Ambition, competition, or pure hatred? Speculation flies amok in the D.O.A.A. after what happened to ๐ต๐๐๐๐ during their Lustration. That ๐ป๐๐๐ is someone who would betray a comrade to get ahead... The rumors aren't true, that's what ๐ป๐๐๐ hopes. But the thing is, how can they refute the claims if they themselves don't know what occurred in the thick mists of the Hinterlands? When all they remember is searing pain, the world turned upside down, and lavender ichor flowing out of ๐ต๐๐๐๐'s mouth? Even if they earned their wings, no one wants a traitor in their midst so they're even starting to get snubbed in the Collections Office. In their eyes, their future lies in front of ๐ฒ๐๐๐๐ ๐น๐๐๐๐๐, stripped of their feathers for a crime they didn't commit but cannot remember. There's nothing left in the afterlife for them, their only hope is capturing ๐ฟ๐๐ข๐๐๐ and either begging ๐๐๐ ๐ผ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ for clemency or a ticket out of this hellhole.

you don't know what hurts the most, the fact they actually think you did it or the way they look at you now.
๐๐๐๐๐
you can understand why ๐ต๐๐๐๐ hates you but what you don't understand is why they can't look at you either.
๐ณ๐๐๐
you weren't expecting them to be on your side in all this but you're grateful for their support.
๐บ๐๐๐๐๐๐
if ๐ณ๐๐๐ came as a surprise, you don't know what to think about ๐บ๐๐๐๐๐๐ or their... pep talks?
๐ฒ๐๐๐๐๐
sooner or later, ๐ฒ๐๐๐๐ ๐น๐๐๐๐๐'s best executioner will come for you.
They are, arguably, the best grymm to ever come out of the Collections Office. So the fact they were entrusted with a top secret mission from ๐๐๐ ๐ผ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ themselves came as no surprise to ๐บ๐๐๐๐๐๐, who preened at the honor. Looking back on it though, they should have been more suspicious. Should've asked, why not have someone like ๐ฒ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐ or, hell, even ๐ฒ๐๐๐๐๐ to do this instead? They never stood a chance in hell to capture ๐ฟ๐๐ข๐๐๐. ๐บ๐๐๐๐๐๐ had known it the moment they had located ๐ฟ๐๐ข๐๐๐ and the soul stared directly into ๐บ๐๐๐๐๐๐'s eyes before vanishing. So when ๐บ๐๐๐๐๐๐ gets news about ๐๐๐ ๐ผ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐'s challenge to everyone in the D.O.A.A, all they can do is seethe. But at least ๐๐๐ ๐ผ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐, "in their eternal benevolence," had made sure to keep ๐ฟ๐๐ข๐๐๐'s abilities out of the brief.
the only one you trust. that said, you haven't told them about what ๐ฟ๐๐ข๐๐๐ can do because two cannot share the reward.
๐น๐๐ข
you hate this sniveling little sycophant and you don't like how they're getting chummy with ๐๐๐๐๐. whatever they're up to, you're going to put a stop to it.

a goofball that doesn't deserve the wings they were bestowed with. it'll only be a matter of time before they're stripped of their feathers.
๐ป๐๐๐
the way they've shriveled into themselves upsets you. they're better than this. you wish they'd just grow a backbone and stand up.
