Ember narrowed her eyes at the sound of another voice. Female to top it all off! And some how, Ember felt, jealous? No it couldn't be that, could it? When Jayson answered the door Embers jaw almost dropped. "Gosh well it looks like someone else would be more then happy to take you to the afterlife, Jayson." her tone held something dangerous. Teddy laughed from behind her, his eyes wandering Jayson's face before falling behind him. "Well, I suppose the meeting is canceled then?" Teddy's asked, the hint of a smirk in his voice. "But of course, I'd be more then glad to tell him well you go cool off, Ember?" And that was all she needed to hear, with that Ember was stomping off back out side.

@faltering_through pets

Lazda laughs from within the room. "Oh trust me, I'd be more than happy to~" He voice hinting at something. Jayson looks back at Lazda, his teeth gritted. Was she trying to ruin him!? But it was too late as Ember stomped off. "W-wait! It's not what it seems, I swear! Ember!" Lazda walks to the door, a triumphant smile on her face. "Snailed it~" She fist bumps Jayson's arm. He, on the other hand, looked like he was about to faint. Like he couldn't quite believe what had happened. "I'm going after her," Jayson states, determined, but still spacing out in shock. Lazda clicks her tongue. "Mmm sounds like fun but I need to get going, I only came for the laughs. Ember's face was priceless, it's really hard to get anything out of her so thanks~" She finger guns at him and then walks past Teddy and down the hall. Jayson suddenly felt like strangling her but with the other guy in front of him, he restrained himself. He lets out a string of curses as he walks back in the room. No use going after Ember, he would only make her madder than she already was.

@Dirt

"Well your friend there was right," teddy stated with a laugh, "Embers a brick wall, but you seem to make her feel something." He leaned in the door way, looking rather amused. "I'm surprised someone like you got to her. Care to explain your tactics? I've been trying for years." Something about the way he said years sounded almost strange. As if he'd known her longer then she'd known him.

@faltering_through pets

Jayson glances behind him at Teddy. "She does seem a bit straight to the point but I guess I just tried being her friend? I mean she's got a personality I can handle unlike most people alive." He says running a hand through his hair, a bit surprised at himself. He sits on the bed and sighs like he was going through so much stress. "Tactics? I haven't exactly done anything special, just threw a few jokes around, talked to her, got to know her-" He falls back in his bed, then his eyes widen a bit when he heard that the guy had been trying for years. Jayson quickly sits up again. He noted the tone in Teddy's voice but tried to pull off a cool and calm appearance. "Please don't tell me you like her as I do or I'm gonna have to fight you to show off my manliness" He jokes with a straight but worried face.

@Dirt

"Fighting a reaper would be suicide. But no, I don't like her like you do, and even if I did its obvious she sees me as nothing more then an annoying friend." Teddy grinned before standing up straight and waving, "well I best be going. I left a soul in a few rooms down- oh, and before I forget," Teddy pulled a scythe from his cloak, "here, this'll make sure she comes back. Make sure to explain to her what really happened before you give it back though.you don't seem like the kind of guy to sleep with another girl, even if the one you like is playing hard to get." He tossed Embers Scythe onto the ground before leaving.

@faltering_through pets

Jayson was about to say something but instead decided to keep his mouth shut. "Alright…" He said as the guy left. He looks down at Ember's scythe and picked it up curiously. He had never held one of these before, it was cool to say the least, but a bit heavy. He walks downstairs to see if he can spot Ember- to where ever she might have gone. "Cool, this is fine. Everything is fine- or is going to be fine." He gulps. "I'll just explain and everything will be okay." He pauses and begins to freak out. "That or she'll want to rip me apart and then throw me into the gates of hell faster then I can count"

@Dirt

Of course it didn't take long before Ember noticed her scythe was missing, as it was something she'd always carried around. "darn you teddy and your sticky fingers" she cursed and had made her way back to the the hotel.
After she spotted Jayson, holding her scythe of things, she shouted at him Angerly. "Darn you too, Jayson. Gimme my scythe." She had narrowed her eyes at him, "Or so help me I will drag you to the crawlers and leave you there for all of eternity."

@faltering_through pets

As soon as Ember had spotted him and he had spotted her, he backed up. "Woah woah woah wait a second I need to talk to you! I swear that what you saw back there was nothing more than a misunderstanding! She just showed up in my room while I was sleeping! It's not my fault I-" He stopped and blushed, embarrassed. "It's not my fault I sleep without clothes on….I'm not used to it. It gets all hot and suffocating under the covers." He looks at her angry face and smiles nervously. "But really, do you think I would go and mess up this thing we have? I mean I've been trying to get you to like me since we met! It would be totally useless on my part if I went and slept with someone else when I want to a-a…." He laughs and looks away. He was going to say "ask her out officially" but somehow it didn't sound right at the moment. Maybe he would keep it for later when they got to know each other better. If she didn't throw him to the crawlers first. It also scared him that since this was the first time he was really interested in someone, he would screw up and she would turn him down. Now that would be the story of his life right there.

@Dirt

Ember rolled her eyes, "oh yes, its totally not your fault. scythe, now." she extended her left hand, her glare deepening. "And don't even try to give an excuse. Men are all the same if they can't get what they want they go to someone else-" and then she realized something and continued speaking as if talking to herself, "you know what. I don't even care. Why would I? You have no reason to care, Ember." She shook her head at herself. Noticing that she probably sounded stupid talking to herself like that.

@faltering_through pets

Jayson cut short on his explaining. He was going to keep explaining in hopes that she would understand but it was clear that she was still angry. Maybe a bit more than that.
"And don't even try to give an excuse. Men are all the same if they can't get what they want they go to someone else-" she said and Jayson froze. "No, see, it's not like that! I would never!" He stops and has a really hurt expression his face. Maybe if he were still alive he would have been like the others and done exactly what she said, but thing was that now he was dead and in reality he never felt more free from all the women that wanted to hook up with him just because of his looks. He never really fell in love truely and was the type of guy that wasted his time screwing around with chicks, never settling on anyone. But now his chest hurt. It was almost laughable. He had only met her moments ago but had already started developing feelings for her. Was it the right thing to do? Should he keep what he was feeling or give up on it? He spaced out a bit as he though and just stood there as she kept on rambling about how she wasn't supposed to care. Then it's as if he snapped back to reality when she finished. "Look, I'm sorry alright? It really is a misunderstanding but I'm not gonna say anything more to change your mind. It's fine, I get it. I messed up…again." He closes his eyes and winces as if it hurt him to say that. He held out the scythe for her to take it, looking down at the floor trying to avoid eye contact. He was scared of seeing her angry face again. The face of someone who was truely disgusted with him and although he was used to getting that look, it felt different coming from Ember. Hell, the look made him feel disgusted with himself. The longer his train of thoughts wandered the more he blamed himself for somthing he didn't do and was starting to believe he had done it. He felt guilty but he didn't know why.

@Dirt

Ember frowned slightly, noticing how upset, and angry she sounded. How stupid could she be? No matter how much she told herself that she shouldn't have feelings for a human, she did. She couldn't deny that fact that there was a small love plant growing in her chest. Beging to be set free, to gain access to her heart. The one she'd closed off so long ago. "Look Jayson, I'm sorry I shouldn't assume things." She mumbled and took her scythe, holding onto it as if it where the only thing holding her up at the moment. "If you say you didn't do anything," she bit her lip as if it was hard for her to say the next bit, "then I believe you. I shouldn't have gotten so worked up over nothing, I'm sorry."

@faltering_through pets

(I'm sorry I got really carried away with this one)
Jayson still avoided eye contact with Ember after she apologized and took her scythe. He didn't know if it was true. She seemed really mad just a few moments ago and maybe she was just apologizing to make him feel better, but then he abruptly looks at her with a sort of wide eyes when she says that she genuinely believed him. Huh? Was this real? I mean he was dead right? So would this technically count as trust? Someone actually believed him for the first time. A small smile crept up to his lips, he seemed relieved that the misunderstanding was over, but quickly stopped himself from smiling. He knew better than to get his hopes up. All he wanted right now was a hug and some reassurance that everything was going to be okay. That he was going to be okay. His expression darkened some as he thought of what he and Lazda talked about, his mess of a mind didn't let him talk even though he wanted to thank Ember for believing in him.

-In the hotel room after Jayson had freaked out to find Lazda sitting on his bed-
"Yeah, you know that feeling? When you see someone and even though you haven't spent much time together they're just…everything" Jayson has a warm smile on his face and a bright sparkle in his eyes as he talks. "No, I don't know. I tend to not like getting attached to the souls. I'm neutral in that aspect. It's my job and I respect it. Though if you're talking about a reaper well…not really I guess? It's just not my thing." Lazda said crossing her arms as she looked at Jayson's blissful face. "Though you surely seem to feel it. Who's the gal?" She smirked, ready for the big scoop. "Ember…" Lazda immediately froze. "No way," She said smiling widely. "You're kidding!" She slaps Jayson on the shoulder playfully, making him suddenly flinch. "Man you are playing with fire!" She gives out a chuckle. Jayson seemed confused. "What do you mean?" He said turning to look at her. "Oh and beautifully ignorant too~" She laughs even more. "It's just that Ember isn't that type of person. She's very…." Lazda tries to find the right word. "Complicated. Not very open on relationships like you are. You're gonna have to work for it. Her trust I mean" A few seconds went by in silence. "You're probably still going to hell you know." Jayson froze. A wave of fear hitting him unexpectedly. He had totally forgotten. He had been so focused with Ember that the thought hadn't even crossed his mind. He stayed quiet until Lazda spoke up again. "What did you do?" A tone of seriousness in her voice as her eyes shone a sharp turquoise blue in the light. She tilted her head down towards Jayson since he was laying down and she was simply sitting. "I killed someone." Jayson said. No remorse in his voice at all. This took Lazda aback. She thought maybe the guy had some heart to him but apparently not. "You don't mean to say-" Jayson interrupted her. "I enjoyed it. Every last bit of it. The motherfucker deserved it." His expression was dark as he spoke. Like he was a completely different person and honestly, Jayson gave off the type of aura that sent chills down her spine. Lazda had met cold-hearted killers before but this one surely took the cake.

@Dirt

(I.am.shook. my gosh.
Also don't worry about getting carried away. I like reading long responses. ^^)

Ember had seen him look up and in turn let her eyes find his. Though it was his expression change that really scared her. Never in all her years of being a reaper had she seen someone go from almost joy, to this. "Jayson?" She asked in confusion. Wanting to know what had made his face darken so much in just seconds. "Is everything okay? Is it something I said?"

(Omg mines so short I'm sorry I just don't know how to respond. I'm shocked, and your writing leaves me breathlesssssss.)

@faltering_through pets

(Ahhhhh thanks man I've never had anyone compliment my writing skills before lol and it's alright my dude there's not much to go off of anyways~)
Jayson looks at her with the same hurt expression from before, but this time it was different. This time it's almost as if he felt bad for something. "It's nothing…its just that I haven't been able to shake the feeling that I'm going to hell, y'know?" He tries to force a smile. "But don't worry…its not you…I'm the problem." He said as if hinting at something only he knew.

@Dirt

"So you started a gang war, and got yourself killed, so what? I'm sure that's not gonna push you over to hell." Ember offered a reassuring smile, "besides like i said before you can make up for things now. Even in death there's always a second chance." She frowned slightly, taking a moment to think. "That is all you did right? Just a gang war?"

@faltering_through pets

Jayson looks off to the side when she tries to reassure him. He didn't know what to tell her. Then when she asks the question he stiffens and slowly looks at her. "mm y-yeah. It's just that since I started a war between two gangs wouldn't that be umm bad? Like, people got killed in the fight and doesn't that mean that their deaths are on me now?" He tried to swerve the conversation, trying to get answers from a different angle. He didn't want to tell her. What would she think of him if she told her that he had killed someone intentionally? Not only that but that he had enjoyed it. The guy deserved it and even now after having been killed his mind still hadn't changed its opinion. He was afraid that he might turn into someone horrible if he admitted his faults to Ember because surely she would reject him, wouldn't she?

@Dirt

"Well I mean, you didn't kill them yourself. So you should be," Ember scrunched up her face slightly, "okay? at least I'm pretty sure you'll be. Its not like you stabbed anyone right?" She offered a small laugh. Though to be truly honest, she didn't know.she herself had never started any wars when she was alive, and according to the angels if she hadn't died the way she did she'd have gone to heaven. But wheres the fun in that?

(Imma start doing switches between the villain and Ember. Just so you know the evil plot that's accumulating. ^^)

A smile curled on his lips as he watched the reapers in the towns. Seeing how almost all of them ran from his crawlers. But though few that stayed to fight. Those where the ones he wanted. He wanted them to bring him souls, the ones that where damed (that how you spell it?) To hell no matter what. Yes, that's what he wanted, but not only the souls. He wanted the reapers, and nothing would stop him for getting what he wanted.

@faltering_through pets

(Ooooo nice! And alrighty dude and kinda, you forgot the n at the end of "damed")
Jayson laughed along with her but more on the nervous side. "Y-yeah, right, no, I-" he stopped and smiled. He didn't know what he was doing anymore. Lying like this. "The truth is…" come on say it, she won't hurt you if you just say it. Hell, she might even be able to help you. He ran a hand through his hair and takes a shaky breath. "Truth is I…." He felt like he wanted to cry but then let's out a startled laugh. "I killed my pet. That still doesn't make me a bad person right?" He backed away some, afraid that Ember might feel the fear in his heart.

@Dirt

(Oh lol sorry. I don't really spell cuss words that often, or ever cuss. I'm what my friends would call innocent.)

Ember waited for him to spit out the words. Wondering what could be so bad that he would take such a long time trying to get the words out. "Killed your pet? What the actual heck Jayson. How old where you?" Ember raised an eye brow, confusion and a slight horror coming to her face. Yes, she was a reaper, but some how death still freaked her out. How? Not even Ember could figure that out. "And what kind of pet? Like a fish? Or?" Of course she knew what counted as going to hell, but as she'd asked, the age kinda mattered.

@faltering_through pets

(Ah, that's fine lol, though if you ask me that's kinda adorable lol sorry if that sounded weird)
Jayson laughed nervously. "y-yeah, I kinda forgot to feed my fish for a while and it just…" He makes a sort of dead face with his tongue hanging out slightly. "Died" he looks at Ember with his left eye from that same position then laughs. "I'm messin' with ya, I was a kid. I buried it though. That counts as something good, yeah?" Truth was, he had been curious as a little kid and had dissected it. With his 'father' encouraging him to do it, he did. Sometimes Jayson wondered if that was the reason he had turned so fucked up as a teenager and even now. He was no different and it scared him.

@Dirt

(Oh no its totally chill. My friends call me adorable all the time because of my "innocents".
Also I might be gone for awhile, and quite possibly won't be back till after march, or sometime during. A lots been going on irl and I'm kinda stressed about it all. If I do come back before march I'll be off and on like I am now. But the times between might be a lot longer. Super sorry!)

@faltering_through pets

(No no no no you don't gotta apologize, I get stuff like that, it's important that you get your stuff sorted out first, besides, I'm chill with that since I'm not always on sometimes. It's nice to take a break for a while! I hope you feel better though!)

@Dirt

(I've temporarily been raised from my grave.)

Ember took in his nervous account, and how he seemed almost as if he was holding something. Though she decided to blame it on the fact that she did return a kiss. Something that began to plage her mind.
Ember shook her head, and laughed at the face Jayson had made. "Yes yes," she started, still laughing slightly, "it counts as something good. Besides I don't think hell is a right away for killing a gold fish." she rolled her eyes before her expression turned solemn. "Look um, about earlier. Before the whole over reacting. The um, the kiss." Ember found her eyes darting to the ground and her face warming. "I didn't mean- or I don't want to lead you on or anything. Its just," she couldn't find the words. Because she did want to kiss him. She did want to get to know him. And she couldn't tell if it was the fact that no one had made her laugh in so long. Or if it was that he had tried to kiss her first.
__
He watched the two. Yes, the soul had killed before, But did the reaper know? He could see that she hated death. Perhaps it was just that she died, then again. Everyone here was dead. Evenyone in this town had died, either by another's hand or just age. All except him, at least he thought he was alive. After all, he did drag himself from the human world here. Just so his plan would work. Did that make him dead? Or just crazy enough to die with out actually dying?

@faltering_through pets

(Nice~ You're back~)

Jayson had tried to keep it together in front of Ember but he felt like he would implode because of how terribly nervous he was, but all that seemed to wash away as Ember brought up the topic of well…when he tried to make a move on her. Shit, man. This is it, it's over. His eyes widened a bit in surprise. "You didn't want to lead me on because…you didn't want to hurt me? Is that it?" He asked, knowing that it probably wasn't. "Hey….it's fine, don't worry about it…I rushed too much at the wrong time and I understand why you would feel like that. It was really horrible of me" He laughed a bit as he rubbed the back of his neck uncomfortably.

@Dirt

"Oh yeah, um I don't want to hurt you." Ember tried to find other explanations, but what Jayson had said was the only excuse that seemed right. What was she supposed to say? 'no sorry your wrong, its just because being touched freaks me out, and it scares me how I was slightly okay with being kissed by you. And there's no way in Gods name would we could be together because all good things must come to an end, and as you said, your are going to hell.' She almost laughed aloud at her own thoughts, at how it was so blunt but so true. "Right, okay sorry I just had to clarify that-" a thought popped into her head, "why did you kiss me?" She asked, her face crunching together in confusion. "Because if your looking for one last fling before you're either trapped in hell for all of eternity or going to heaven, where you want be able to do such things-" she was rambling at this point, something she often foynd herself doing when she couldn't find a cool and collective way to say what was on her mind.

(I honestly thought I was gonna be gone a lot longer. Sorry.)
