Objective: II (Danse Macabre)
Tag: Open
The Danse Macabre was not the sort of establishment Glar Ulchtar usually frequented. And yet, here he was. Truthfully, he was not exactly sure why he had come here. Bordom, maybe? Or perhaps he just wanted to enjoy a nice drink? Either way, he was here now.
Like everyone else in the club, Glar’s identity was hidden in an elaborate costume. He in particular was dressed in a replica of the armor worn by the ancient cobra-knights on his home planet of Oba Diah. He was not sure how many people here would understand what exactly he was dressed as, but did not particularly care one way or the other.
At the moment, Glar was standing on the club’s rooftop balcony, enjoying a fruity glass of Sullustan Wine and watching the streets below. He noticed what appeared to be a funeral procession pass by on the street directly below, sharply contrasted with the various partygoers ignoring it as it passed by. Clearly, death was not a tabooed subject for the people of Necropolis. Glar had his own, rather unusual views about death, but those did not align with the people of Necropolis any more than those of the mainstream Galactic culture.
At this moment, Glar noticed that someone else had appeared beside him, also contemplating the streets below. Remarking on the ignored funeral procession, he asked “What do you think about the way death is treated here?”
