Are You the Reaper?

Just as well. This topic came up just a little while ago and might provide an answer to the challenge. The conversation went like this…

Hey why do they call you The Reaper?

You’re mistaken it’s, not the Reaper its D-Reaper just one word

Oh so you’re a digimon fan then?

Umm well yes actually. What gave Reaper away?

Your name duh. You’re the Digimon Reaper! Or DReaper for short.

Ah yes, Reaper has heard this before. Reapers name is not unlike that of the reaper of digimon but that really doesn’t have anything to do with Reaper’s name. You see Reaper predates the digimon series by an err… substantial margin.

Ok then I don’t get it.

Don’t get what?

You’re name duh.

Hmm well to put it simply D-Reaper is in fact, well a reaper so that should be generally explained. As for D well, once every 100,000 years or so there is something of a selection that takes place so after this selection Reaper became D-Reaper.

Can you elaborate on what the selection entails?

Reaper cannot.

You don’t look 100,000 years old.

Hopefully not. Though logically speaking Reaper wouldn’t need to live 100,000 years to fall in line of the event. It very well could have been on the 99,999 year… or so. But anyway that time span is perhaps lost in translation. Have you seen Death Note?

No

Hmm well if you had seen Death Note there’s segments in the show where peoples life span are translated by numbers symbols and shapes. Defining the 1-100,000 or so would be essentially deciphering such a codex if that helps you understand.

It doesn’t

Hmm… perhaps Reaper should try and explain it in a different way?

Nah man I’m good.

Oh alright… Can Reaper have his coffee then?

Oh sure uhhh $2.35 please...

And that’s how it went as Reaper recalls it. Maybe it will be more helpful to you than it was with the barista. But if not maybe Reaper will try explaining it again sometime…
