Jayson laughed at her bewildered face. "I'm guessing you haven't ever been asked that, yea? But swinging the sharp stick around seems about right"

Ember nodded her head. She hadn't be asked such a strange question before. Heck, most of the time the souls didn't even bother talking to her except for small talk. Or the whole, 'what comes next?' Question that she hated so much. After all, how was she to know? Her path had been much different. "You're a strange man. Has anyone every told you that before?"

Jayson laughs, that sure did catch him off guard. "Dang, if a reaper has to tell me that I'm strange even in the afterlife, then I guess there's no going around it, but yea, a fair amount of people tell me that I'm a bit weird. But I'm sure you dig guys like that, yea?" He says as he gets close to her and nudges her on the side with his elbow while giving her a smirk.

Ember smiled softly when she felt his presence get closer. A warm pink dancing on her pail face. "Hm, I guess I do." She still felt stupid about exploding before. Stupid for making such a big deal of something that'd happened years ago. After all, it couldn't effect her anymore. She was dead.

Jayson smiled proudly as he noticed the blush on her skin. "Hey, right about now I'd probably be asking you out on a date or something, but I get that you'd probably turn me down or something along those lines. Soooo I was thinking how about we be friends for now? Well, I actually have no idea if we were friends before, but it seems like a great way to start, yea?" He beams as he looks at her. "Then we could y'know, have a nice dinner later together sometime and make it official and there I go rambling again just ignore me," He said laughing nervously. He dun fucked up. And even though he said all that he knew that there probably wasn't going to be a 'next time'. That kinda got him depressed for a moment but composed himself just as fast.

A date? Ember cocked her head to the side slightly. Watching him from the corrnor of her eye. "Friends?" This time she asked aloud. "Friends seem like a good idea." She gave a small shy smile before letting her eyes once again wonder to the ground infrount of her. Though she did jump slightly when he mentioned a diner. "Crap. Humans need to eat? Like. Normal food? Not-" she trailed off. Ember knew she didn't eat normal food, and hoped that her kind of normal food wouldn't freak him out to much.

Jayson catches her watching him from the corner of her eyes and it makes him feel a bit anxious, then when she agreed he let out a breath of relief. He was always on edge when he tried to ask out a girl who was too good for him, though he was only asking to be friends. "Yea cool nice, great" he said trying not to smile like an idiot. He looked over at her when she mentioned the dinner he had talked about, also noticing her slight jump. "Oh yea, we humans eat food, like cake pops? Oh lord you should try them they're the best things you'll ever eat" he said, imagining a dozen of those in his hands. What he wouldn't give to have one right about now.

"Cake pops?" Ember cocked her head to the side with a small smile. "You do realize this is a reapers realm. My realm to be exact." She stopped and turned so she was facing him. "I'm pretty sure you can wish for any kinda food and it'll appear. Just picture it in your mind, and it won't come out as how I imagine it." She laughed lightly at the last part.

Jayson nodded when she mentioned the cake pops again, then stopped as she turned to face him. "Really? Oh snap that's cool" he said with a laugh then closed his eyes and held his hands out. He tried to concentrate on conjuring some sort of edible food on his hands. "Alright…I want…..jellybeans and cake pops" he said, his eyes still closed as he waited for some type of weight to weigh down on his hands.

Ember laughed at his reaction to the whole 'you can conger food out of thin air.' Then continued to laugh as the food appeared in his hands. "That's, food?" She asked as she cocked her head to the side. Confusion etching its self into her face.
(Sorry if they get short. Or weird.)

(lmao you're all good my dude, I happen to dig weirdness lol)
Jayson opened his eyes as he felt the weight of the treats he managed to make appear. "Hell yea, it's the good typa food though" He winks at her before opening the bag of jellybeans and almost stuffing them all in his face. "Heym you wanna cake pop?" He says offering two cake pops to her. His eyes seemed to sparkle brightly as he smiled at her while offering his food.

Ember waved her hands infrount of herself and looked for a way to explain that human food did nothing for her. "No thanks." She laughed lightly. Ember noticed the sparkle in his eyes, "well. On second thoughts, maybe." She accepted one of the cake pops and smiled awkwardly.

Jayson smiled even more when she took the cake pop and nodded. "But you can taste things, yea? I'm tellin' ya that's the good stuff right there" He then unwrapped the cake pop that was in this clear wrap and began eating.

"I think." She mumbled. Ember rolled the stick of the cake pop between her fingers for a few seconds, before following suit, and taking a bite. "This is," her eyes widened at the burst of flavor, "good." She took a few more bites before turning to Jayson. "Who invented these? It tastes like…" She looked for the right words, "like, magic?"

Jayson busted out laughing when she described the taste of the cake pop. "No yea they're really good! And I'd say that's a pretty accurate description. I have no idea who invented them but it doesn't change the fact that they're heavenly~" he said in a almost dreamy kind of way. Sweets always put Jayson in a good mood.

"Don't laugh at me." Ember joked, but her tone sounded almost threatening. She whipped her head around and stopped dead in her tracks. Listening. Watching. Her realm was barren, shy of any brighf colors or most anything else. But there was, something that lived there. "Run." Crawlers.

Jayson smiled warmly at her empty threat. He seemed to get on guard when she suddenly turns unexpectedly, Jayson stays quiet to listen himself as well. Then Ember suddenly says "Run." in an almost deathly tone, he stays there stunned for a few seconds processing what she meant by that, but then saw the creatures and backed up. He sprinted into a run.

Ember followed after, knowing full well she wasn't strong enough to fight off more then one. The monsters- or crawlers as reapers called them, where made to hunt, to kill a reaper. But not just any reaper. The Grim reaper. But once he went into hiding, Crawlers turned on the smaller, weaker reapers.
A loud snarl sounded behind them. Ember risked a look back amd met the eyes of one. It looked like a human but on all fours. Its eyes where crazied as if saying it was hungry.

After running for a while, Jayson looked back to see if Ember hadn't gotten grabbed by whatever those creatures were. Jayson just hoped that there was at least somewhere safe to go.

Ember was huffing as she ran, as running wasn't something she got to do often. "I think," she stopped and bent over, trying to not throw up, "we lost them?" She glanced around. Not really knowing if they had lost them, or if they'd just gotten ahead. "Crawlers." She tried to explain threw her breathlessness.

Jayson stopped and looked back at her, she didn't seem to be used to running. "C-crawlers? Those demonic things?" He said as he frantically looked around to see if any were still on their trail. "I think they could be named better, those things look like they came straight out of some horror movie!"

"Yup." Ember gave a thumbs up as she continued to huff, not wanting to talk as she caught her breath. "There's a town. Town of lost souls. Up ahead." She gestered with her hand. "Blend in. Hide." A crawler seemed as if it came out of no where, Ember swung her scythe at it. "Quickly!"

Jayson hesitated when she urged him to go but decided it was best since he'd only get in the way. "Alright I'll go but you better be right behind me" He said as he jogged where she had pointed out. It seemed like forever but once he got there he saw that it looked no different from a human settlement, there were buildings and everything.

Once Jayson was out of sight Ember switched from swinging her scythe to something else. Something more dangerous. "Lets get this party started." She said with a poision in her voice.
Ember found herself limping into the town of lost souls not long after. The stench of blood clinging to her. Though she wasn't really sure if the blood was her's, or not.

Jayson had hidden in one of the buildings and didn't know when Ember was going to come back so he stayed very still and quiet in his position. When Ember finally came back he heard her make some noise but didn't dare move, as he was afraid that it would be some distorted looking monster that wanted to eat his face off. The smell of blood was clear in the air and it raised his suspicion further. So what did he do? He held his breath and when he had gathered the courage he jumped out of his space when felt the presence of Ember pass and attacked her while trying not to cry like a scared little kid.
