melody started working for death and friends late one evening when nash, high on marijuana and presumably power, logged into the death and friends website and changed the listed customer service number to a series of random digits that actually belonged to melody. instead of complaining or throwing her phone into the trash like anyone else, melody spent the next two weeks answering the main line and helping the skeleton army sort their death history related business. once jake realised the mix-up, he offered melody a bribe - it had become a reflex at that point - which she negotiated into a full-time position with a deluxe healthcare package and stock options.
