This was actually the original plan for Melody taking a bath while talking to Death. The reasoning for not drawing every panel was because I was lazy. Then again, I'm sure Death's eyes wouldn't wander around like a human's would because he doesn't give a crap about human nudity. What's he to be embarrassed about? Nothin', he's Death!

Anyway, I think we're already aware by Melody's unchanging wardrobe that her parents don't really clothe her all that much. When they do, the clothes aren't even her size (the sweater's actually too big for her). And now that the poor girl lost her ribbon, she may need a hair change…

I'm currently disputing between her using something different in her hair (rubber bands or something), or simply going with a pigtail. Either way will be a strange change to her look, but… it's for plot.

Feel free to let me know what you all think. Pigtails? Ponytail? Maybe she should just wear her hair down?

Last note - I changed his font to Papyrus (still in Bold). A friend says it's been done a lot, but I haven't seen it, and let's face it, Papyrus looks damn good on Death. I'm keeping it.

Then again, I could have just used it for the Boogeyman. Though I do like using that hand-written font I had for him. Pointy, and dark. Very nice.
