[Why is Death here? Well, if you were to ask him, he'd point out that technically he's everywhere by virtue of that whole, y'know, incarnate personification of the abstract concept of the termination of all existence...thing. Alternatively, it's because this place has barbecue chicken poppers, ten for two bucks with free chips on the side, and do you have any idea how hard it is to find a deal like that these days? Do you?
Spoilers: it's really hard. So far be it from Death to pass it up.
It was just supposed to be a routine stop while on his way home from visiting Morty the Death Tree, frankly. Was, up until he hit the parking lot and all of a sudden became acutely aware of Someone Else hanging out in the general vicinity--one of those people who warrants the Capital Letters because they are Pretty Important as far as the Grand Scheme Of Things is concerned.
Granted, he's Pretty Important himself, and probably the Someone Else knows it, too, even if he's riding a sickly greenish motorcycle these days instead of a pale horse.
So in he wanders, pushing open the door and making the bell jingle...after which he then stops and rattles the door a couple more times because it's a pretty pleasant jingle, and part of him is kind of hoping that the Someone Else will look up and ask for whom the (door)bell tolls, such that he can audibly and dramatically intone, IT TOLLS FOR THEE.
