Even faced with a man who was some kind of literal skeleton-monster, he found he wasn't that alarmed. Living on Manta Carlos meant you just kind of got used to stuff that would drive someone in New York to absolute insanity. Things like monsters that didn't even look human. Literal demons. The citizens of Manta Carlos ran the gamut.

"No one does. Having said that, it feels like it's pretty obvious that my dad wasn't really my dad, if you know what I mean. He never was really attached, we don't have much of a family resemblance." Same blue eyes, but his mother also had blue eyes... and his father had dark hair. Everyone had always said he took after his mother in looks. "So, not that I know of, but wouldn't be surprised if I did. This sort of thing usually run in families?" He ignored the corpse beside him, folding his arms across his chest.

He was happy that the man seemed to be calming down. "In my experience these abilities do run in the family. My father had it before me, and my son has it aswell. But how could we track down your true father to see if theyre a reaper as well." He crossed his arms in though. Spartak defiantly had connections that could easily track people down, but perhaps that wasnt a good approach. "Maybe we can find some other way to know for sure. Any ideas?"

[thoth=http://i.imgur.com/3GtjtM3.png]So his father - whoever that was - was probably a reaper. Had his mother known? Probably not. She might have suspected, but her reactions had certainly seemed genuine when everyone had found out. He'd sort of suspected she cheated around the time he first realized he even had powers, because... well, their relationship had never been good, and powers didn't really seem to come out of nowhere. Or at least he didn't want to think that powers like his came out of nowhere, although he knew that in some cases it did seem to. "No way of checking that I know of. Even if I went back to New York and asked, I doubt my mom would ever admit to anything, if she even knows." For all he knew, his father was a passing fancy. Considering he was supposedly a reaper... well, that made sense.

"Is there no like... check-I'm-a-reaper-test?" He doubted it, but it was worth asking. "Beyond that, I guess... doing my thing means I am? Or at least that I'm close enough I might as well be." What other changes might he run into, then? As far as he knew it was just the sending souls off to wherever and the vanishing act.

Spartak laughed a little at the mans comment. "This island is home to a lot of individuals with different abilities and quirks, im sure theres at least one that can figure out where your abilities come from."

He thought to himself, he didnt know anyone by name that had that kind of ability, but he was certain that someone had something like it, he could probably use his connections to track someone down.

[thoth=http://i.imgur.com/3GtjtM3.png]So he'd have to figure out who could do it. It'd be an abuse of police resources to search officially, but he could certainly ask his fellow cops off the record if they knew anyone with that sort of power. Hell, maybe someone in the police might be able to tell him.

"And what does it mean if I am, exactly? Like... what's it really mean?" It would mean he was a reaper, but what beyond that? Did he have some kind of sacred duty? Was he suddenly part of some ancient brotherhood? And, perhaps most important of all, did it mean he was going to end up walking around in some terrifying skeleton armor?

"Well if you are a reaper, then you have a responsibility to guide the newly dead into the afterlife. If you like I could train you along with my son, it would probably be a good way to learn." Spartak was excited at the prospect of having two active reapers on the island at once, it would make work a lot easier. Astor had been having a tough time learning how to be a proper reaper, maybe having someone learn alongside him would help?

[thoth=http://i.imgur.com/3GtjtM3.png]Angelo wasn't going to say no, but he wasn't going to say yes either. No, he needed a moment to think about that and just what it entailed. Hadn't he already been sending people off to the afterlife? Was there something more he was missing?

He glanced behind him at the body, wondering if he'd done it wrong somehow.

"Well.. I mean, what else is there? Beyond sending them... you know, on." What part of this was he missing? A ritual? A chant?

Spartak let out a loud "BWA HA HA!" Laugh and pounded on his chest. "Oh yes! There are a lot of responsibilities that come with being a reaper! Like rituals and chants and all sorts!"

It was the kind of stuff Spartak loved, though his reaper child didnt seem to be particularly interested in reaping, it could be nice to share his knowledge with Angelo.

The 'Bwa ha ha' left Angelo wondering if the guy was pulling on his leg. He stared, eyes rather wide, although he wasn't quite sure if what he was hearing was even the truth.

"I... wasn't aware." Obviously enough. He had to wondering if whoever his father was even knew about the whole damn thing. Did he know Angelo existed? Did he know he was failing his reaperly duty by not... well, anything? Wasn't he supposed to come swooping back in to teach Angelo?

Nope, he was just stuck with the creepy skull guy.

"I'm not going to end up..." He paused, making a little gesture to the rest of him. "With a skull face and all that?"

"Hmm" Spartak was unsure, he had been a grimm reaper for a very long time, but there where so many different kinds of reapers it was difficult to give Angello a definite answer.

"I dont know, I guess we'll find out with time EH?" he said before letting out another hardy "BWA HA HA"
