Heaven
Luka bit his lip in attempts to cover up how ecstatic he was that he could communicate. He nodded in response to Sage. Yes, my name is Luka.

The platinum-haired boy stood before Sage probably looking slightly off-kilter. He just couldn't seem to properly express how exciting this new discovery was. However, he let his attention slip to what lay beyond Sage when he gestured behind him. Well, it would be nice to not be all alone in this shitty excuse of an afterlife.

Luka covered his smile as he followed Sage into his apartment. It seemed to mirror his own and looked just as bad. Water stained the ceiling and turned it brown. Ah, you don't have to feed me. I'm not sure if there is any point anymore. We are dead, aren't we?

He slightly frowned and exhaled heavily before looking down at his wrist where the small chain bracelet dangled. Why--if you don't mind me asking, does food turn to ash? Is it something you sacrificed?

Avani's cheeks visibly darkened at the mention of a date, but she soon recovered just as soon as Kat did. "I could actually use a friend or two as well. I haven't had one in quite awhile." She gave a thoughtful pause, reminiscing about what once was. "And I would love to join you. I don't mind at all if you don't."

Avani felt content with the events that had just occurred. Typically, she would've just gotten back up and walked off, but she hadn't met someone who shined so bright since her arrival. As they walked, Kat filled the empty air with questions.

"Yes, I have been here for, hmm, maybe ten years?" She scratched the back of her neck. "I've done my fair share of hunting, but lately, I don't know... I just haven't been in the mood. Maybe you can change that?" Avani chuckled and smiled at Kat.

Hell
Xander stifled a laugh after Axle's sassy remark before turning his attention back to the women. He felt a sort of warmth he hadn't felt in forever when her face lit up. He was glad he had taken the time to learn and study. What is your name? I'm Xander Grimm. He smiled a genuine and sweet smile. It was weird.

"D-do you, how do I? Um, sorry, but could I ask you a couple questions?" Her accent grew a little heavy under pressure. She was intimidated by this bartender. His outward appearance and attitude did nothing to calm her nerves, but she also needed to know how to function in a world like this. Did she really have to kill people?
