Deathwatch slowly lowered his scythe.
"Must end soon...? Well, if that's how you feel, you should have said so sooner."
The phantom snapped his skeletal fingers, and the monochomatic flood engulfed the world around him, signifying his stopping of the temporal flow. While Mania was frozen in his place, the reaper hovered over to him and raised his scythe up over his head, then brought it cleaving back down through the air.
"Temporal Slash of the Reaper," mused Deathwatch, as the flow of time suddenly resumed, "May the poor boy rest in peace."
[spoiler][OOC: For the record, this particular attack (Temporal Slash of the Reaper), quite simply, slices the victim; however, no physical damage is done, and instead their soul is severed from their body. This is the manner in which Deathwatch takes his victim's souls, which are stored in his hourglass (only one soul may reside in the hourglass at a time). The soul is still "alive", so to speak (they can still think and speak), but the victim's body is reduced to a lifeless shell. If the hourglass is shattered, the soul is freed, and returns to their body (if another soul inhabits that body, the soul with the most willpower wins, and the other is evicted and must find another body). Deathwatch can also be bargained into releasing the soul. However, Enigmaverse logic dictates that anything damaged during a Time Stop will not take effect until time resumes as normal, so if the soul escapes the body during the Time Stop (only physical matter is frozen during a Time Stop), the attack has no effect.
But I figure nobody cares about the details, so just do whatever...][/spoiler]
