The Grand Eulogy

"Why didn't I have you for a father?!"

The Grand Eulogy is a story written by Daniel the day after his father's passing in 2010, as he felt the only way to deal with the situation was to discuss it with his characters. In order, he talks to Allura McCoy, Soval Yoccm, and Mew before finally confronting Samuel Dleifneb. Afterward, Daniel talks briefly to Hannah Benfield.

In October 2011, the oneshot now began DBE Series 13.

Timeline & Notes
Allura specifically states Chrissie is almost 967 years old, placing this fifteen years before The Reason Why (in which Chrissie states she is 982) for them; Hannah most likely comes from this same point. Mew and Soval are still in the Void (Miss Glowbug states in the epilogue of Project RINI that she got them out of there), while Sam and Daniel know the former is a character.


 * From Allura's viewpoint, Terror of the Zypedrians came far later than it did for Canon!Daniel and Hannah.
 * While Chrissie MaCockenshipiel is present, her very small presence (she only talks to Allura and Soval) may be her simply trying to keep herself away from the concept of death. Three later stories continued this thread, culminating with Chrissie's death.
 * This story is one of only two that have a book excerpt as the intro, the other being The Moro-Mirror; in this case, Mark Johnson XVII's Coping With A Loss.
