“More coffee, my dear?”
“Why… er… certainly, Mister Lord Death,” Celestia replied, offering her cup to him.
Lord Death smiled, or did the best he could with that white skull mask of his. Strangely enough, it wasn’t as expressionless as one would first think, conveying to his mood properly enough. The only other discerning feature about the literal Grim Reaper was that his entire body was made up of a tattered piece of black cloth, whose form caused his limbs and body’s proportions to be out of whack and sporadic in appearance. Oh, and there was also those flat, four-fingered hands of his that were as large as half her body.
“Please, please, Mister and Lord are no names to call someone’s date,” Lord Death replied, picking the coffee pot up daintily with his massive fingers to pour her a fresh cup. “Simply calling me Death will suffice.”
“Well, I shall try my best to correct myself then, Death.” Celestia sipped from her cup, the awkward break in conversation making her drink noisily. Taking a gander at the area their date was hosted, Celestia was momentarily glad it wasn’t another restaurant. Most closed down the minute she asked to reserve a table. Looks like the ponies were finally catching onto her and her series of disastrous dates. But at least there was momentary peace, even if the scenery had a strange vibe of bleakness, coupled with desolate surroundings while countless crosses stuck out from the earth.
Smacking her lips, Celestia hummed under her breath. “So… from your profile, I hear you have a son, correct?”
“Two, in fact,” Lord Death replied, holding up two digits.
Celestia smiled. “Interesting. A family man is usually a more responsible suitor. What are your sons like?”
“Oh, the first one is the embodiment of pure evil and terror, having nearly destroyed the entire world in his bid for ultimate power,” Lord Death said, waving his hand passively in the air. “I skinned him alive, then sealed him in a bag of his own skin, and then to be doubly sure, I rooted my own soul over Death City to make sure he doesn’t escape from beneath its confines.” Lord Death sipped at his coffee, not noticing the shocked expression on Celestia’s face. “Hence why I can’t leave here.”
“That’s… that’s just awful!” Celestia said, grimacing noticeably. “How can you do that to your own son?”
“If I seem to recall from your profile, you banished your own sister for a thousand years on the moon,” Lord Death reminded her.
Celestia opened her mouth to reply, then closed it and tapped her chin in thought. “Actually… you make a good point.” Shrugging, Celestia asked, “So, what about your other son?”
“Oh, Death the Kid? Sweetest young man you’ll ever meet.” Lord Death chuckled, tapping his head. “Also, he has the cutest stripes in his hair you’ve ever see.”
Celestia grinned, relaxing finally. “I’ll bet,” she replied, taking another sip from her coffee. However, when she went to put it down, she accidentally laid it on the edge of the table, causing it to spill and for the cup to shatter on the floor below.
“Oh dear, I’m ever so sorry,” Celestia said, moving away from the fastly growing stain.
Lord Death held up a hand. “It’s no problem, really. I can get it cleaned up in—”
“Here, let me just use this napkin to wipe it up,” Celestia said, using the napkin by her tray to clean up the spill. However, her actions were quickly halted when an extremely painful force connected with her noggin.
“DON’T USE THE GOOD NAPKINS OR ELSE YOU’LL GET A REAPER CHOP!” Lord Death shouted, holding up his large hand in a cutting motion.
Celestia picked herself up from the floor, wincing as she touched her bruised skull. “You could have at least warned me before you actually hit me!”
“I… I…” Lord Death looked at his hand, then back at the very peeved off face of Celestia, then back to his hand again. “I’m guessing a date number two is out of the question then?”
“I swear, Luna, I don’t know how much longer I can go on!” Celestia said. She sighed in relief when Luna applied the bag of ice to her aching head. “Every date thus far has either ended in something weird happening, heartbreak, explosions, me being injured, or Deadpool! And out of all of them, Deadpool is probably the worst of the lot!”
Luna spinned in her swivel chair, stopping at her computer screen. Rubbing her hooves together, Luna called out, “Don’t worry, dear sister, I know the perfect way to solve that!”
“Please don’t say another date,” Celestia whispered.
“With another date!”
“Damn it all!”
Luna chuckled, mousing over a few profiles from the immortal dating website. “Don’t worry, Tia, this one will be a shoo-in for your perfect match.”
Glancing up, Celestia rolled her eyes. “Luna, I thought I told you no more gods. Those only lead to trouble.”
“Tia, you need to stop being so picky and live a little. Plus, this guy doesn’t technically count as a god… sorta… kinda… not really.” Luna shrugged, moving out of the way so Celestia could get a clear view of her next date’s bio page. “I’m pretty sure it counts in name only.”
Groaning, Celestia turned over and pulled her icepack closer to her head. “Fine, fine, whatever. I just better not get into another fight over this.”
Scanning over this immortal’s bio, Luna sniggered. “No promises, dear sister. But I’m sure you’ll have a blast either way.”
...Lord Death from Soul Eater?
TOO MUCH YE-
Wait, the Kishin was his first born son? When was this explained?
Very nice. Thooough, I don't remember Asura being Lord Death's son...
I believe I know who the next date is
I am enjoying this far too much
But to sue you I need a lawyer, but I have no money... How do you expect me to do this?!?!
You know at first, I thought it was Death from Darksiders. On the subject of Darksiders, may I suggest War?
This... THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!! How DARE you not use his original Japanese name! I, as a concerned American, am EXTREMELY offen—
Nah, actually, I don't give a shit. Funny chapter.
Hmmmm. Not technically a god? Hmmmmm..... Kratos maybe? Or darksiders war? Oh! Darth Vader or the emperor, no, goku, vigeta, frieza, no, superman!
Who now?

my favorite character
What I see25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m09zjrhFYk1r5so7yo1_500.gif
What I hear
4215574 Who do you think it is?
Morgan Freeman Finally ?!?!
4215618 No one; I only recall Lord Death having Kid and just that.
not techinally a god....
Hmmm *face pales*
So who wants to go to the bunker? We have pudding!
4215629 I think he meant who do you think the next date is.
Not technically a god, hmm... the Emperor, I'm calling it.
In honor of the recently completed Fimfiction Writes Ponies story, Celestia must date Apep at some point.
~The lizardman has made his demands
I just came up the ULTIMATE IDEA:
img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120724203039/kidicarus/images/b/ba/Tr4e.jpg
It's about time Pyron, the Level Infinity Epic Super God Plus, entered the dating scene!
Oh hell yes! Soul Eater!
Time for a random useless fact:The English voice actor for DTK(Death the Kid) voiced some of my other favorite characters in anime.(To be exact, he voiced Tsukune from R+V, Italy from Hetalia, and Natsu from Fairy Tail. All English dubbed versions by Funimation, of course! Oh, he also voiced the boss W1LH3LM from Borderlands 2. But who cares about him, he was easy as all hell.)
I didn't really understand this until Death the Kid was mentioned. Nice save.
4215618
4215690 Oh...
God Emperor of Mankind.
4215746 He was also Allen Walker in D Gray-Man
I'm calling it: the Emperor. It's exactly what it says right on the tin.
The Emperor of Mankind. {He's kind of sort of a god, but he hates being called one.} Actually, if anyone could score with Celestia, it'd be him....Why isn't there any shipfics of the two, or any fanart? I mean, it could be OTP material fellas.
4215840 YES PLZ YES USE I'M ALREADY!!!
Spike next!
4215572 Dude death the kid X twi
4215572
Towards the end of the manga, while Kid and Asura are fighting.
Alright!

On one side super happy that you pick one of my suggestion, on the other side this left me wanting more as this didn't exposed the full extend of Lord Death eccentricity.
But whatever I can still party about this!

lol, anyhow, I'm still going to propose a character for this chapter as usual.
This time I bring to you the glorious King Yemma

He chooses who goes to heaven and who goes to hell, he is old and wise beyond belief, and he's more powerful than kami!

Celestia should date King Kai. The TeamFourStar one.
4216001 NO MISTER PO PO
4216011 Now THAT would be hilarious.
4215982 And we can't foget about his MAHOGANY DESK!
4215982
No!... T4S King Yemma, we know he is divorced.
4216041 So?
4216050 So... when you're doing a comedy crossover you always go with the parody version of the character if it exists. It's simple science.
4216054 hmmm... alright if you say so.
4216026 4216011 Mr. Popo The Abridged version it is.
That my friends, would be hilarious.
I would've liked to see them interact more.
I wanna say...Proxys? Ergo Proxy? Gods in name only...oh! Wait! King Kai...died.... So not immortal. Dang...
Next date screw up is her fault and not her date's; inversion of the current riff.
"So, I take it this'll be our only date, then?"
Her Date gave her a nervous smile, his eyes quickly flitting to the chaos she unwittingly caused.
"It's not you, it's me," he said gently.
"Tartarus damn it! Things were actually going well for once, and I'm the one who scared him of!"
Please tell me it's the Emperor next, I've been waiting for him forever
Still hoping for a Planeswalker, either Jace Beleren or Sorin Markov.
overlord zetta(makai kingdom), then solome shows up and is jelous.
Still waiting for either Mab to send Harry Dresden on a diplomatic mission to court the celestial ruler!
Or Bob, from the same book series, to somehow get a date with the alicorn~
4215868 there is a story out there which is a crossover between mass effect, halo, and wh40k. It ships the emperor with Luna.
Hey, if Celestia isn't too put off by Lord Death, she could always go on a date with everyone's favorite Grim Reaper, Bill Door.
Either God-Emperor, or Soliare.
I'm banking on either Superman or General Zod.
Hmm... technically not a god? Sorta? Maybe? Not really? Oh, the possibilities....
I'm wondering how this one would be handled: likely like Aslan, if anything. Then again, his mother would likely shadow their date, eyeing up Celestia to see if she is worthy to date her son (if stereotypes are to be believed).
25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9u5q9wClB1qeq7r2o1_1280.jpg
Then again, he'd likely get a call from his dad to go save the human race (again) and Celestia wouldn't be able to deal with a man with such great prior commitments.
Nasus! He is a Demigod, after all.
