I remember actually seeing a chicken crossing the road several years back.

"Death is a conclusion to existing. To be born is to die. To be created is to be undone." His words are spoken as plainly as the definition behind them, the majority of his focus honed on sharpening the elongated length of his blade ere acidic eyes turn to silently observe unexpected company.

"People are quick to create on a whim, an idea given life- but they are not so quick to undo their mistakes." And that was simply his job - to undo the mistakes others had made, that then discarded them.

Steve doesn't really like most of Eddie's music, but won't tell him to change it. Though there is one artist he actually genuinely likes.

The Prince of Darkness himself, Ozzie Osborne.

Its not just because Eddie compared he and Steve, but rather that he actually paid attention to the man and he reminds him so much of Eddie.

The hair, the style, the presence, all so very much alike. So he starts listening to Ozzie on his own and finds he actually likes his music. The instrumentals aren't as harsh and grating as some metal can be, Ozzie's voice is pretty interesting, and the lyrics are pretty well thought out.

War Pigs is his favorite Black Sabbath song, and Crazy Train is his favorite solo song right up until Don't Wanna Stop is released years and years later

Eddie could not be more pleased about this.

"Perennial Mourning" by Sinister - From "Cross the Styx" (1992)

This whole thing with Deadman giving Nightwing a coin that lets him see dead people has so many fun implications for dpxdc stories. Like, Danny invisibly haunting the batfam and pulling pranks, while Nightwing just stares at him like a cat staring down the invisible eldritch horror in the corner of the room that no one else can see.

For context, Nightwing has an obol coin which was used to pay Charon to cross the river styx. It gives him the ability to see and hear Deadman, and other dead entities. Including the "chatter of broken things" and “plaintive little cries of mass-produced stuff more easily trashed than fixed.” Aka Nightwing can hear inanimate objects. Aka Nightwing is probably being haunted by fast fashion and disposable packaging.

Man I really want him to meet Box Ghost so they can commiserate about the lack of respect paid to disposable products.

"...What is this-?" Curious but detached, Styx was perhaps not the best person to approach with new things and a willingness to converse - but here he stands, in the company of a youth and a hand full of some variety of sticky, thick, slimy substance that posed as so viscous that it gradually pulled from his hand toward the ground.

"...I think you should throw it at someone. Perhaps that arrogant researcher often found near the lake-?" He takes pause long enough to think about it further; "...maybe climb the rocks to get a better vantage point, too."
