"Next, please!" Ethan called, looking around for the next person he had to help. Soon he saw a tall, well built man walk towards him. Ethan gave him a smile and pointed him to the chair, "hello sir! What can I help you with today?"

"Yes" he mumbled. Ethan blinked but kept his composure, "what's your  name?" "Tyler" "Tyler what?" "Scheld" Tyler added. Ethan nodded and started to write down his information, "religion?" "None" "ah. . . right okay. I don't have one either there buddy! Last question for you! How did you die?"

The room fell silent and Tyler looked away. He then took off his shirt, remembering the stab wound. This then started to show on him, bleeding, stabbed in the heart. . .

"Ouch! Oh gosh they really didn't like you huh!? Don't worry about it" Ethan said as Tyler put his shirt back on, "I was murdered for being gay also"

Tyler blinked but then noticed someone, kindly, craved 'death to gays' in his arm. As he stopped thinking about his death, the mark went away. He pulled his shirt back on.

The smaller male smiled sadly then pulled up his sleeve, showing, "die gay" and "get raped in hell" on his arms. "You see, we understand up here. People of any faith, sexual orientation and gender can live peacefully in this place above the clouds!" He chirped.

"Now" Ethan started, pulling his sleeves down, "you have three options because you have no religion. You either go to. . . the pit of unending suffering, basically hell? Yeah that's hell. Go sit on that bench over there with Dave till you find a religion or the option I personally chose- become a grim reaper!"

The room, once again, became silent. Then Tyler started to do his horse-like laugh, "y-you're a grim reaper? Haha fucking seriously? Oh man that's beautiful! We, for so long, thought you were skeletons but you're actually just blue haired puff balls!" He laughed. The other make rolled his eyes, "laugh it up, humour does help 'heal the soul'"

After Tyler finally calmed down, he went to 'resting bitch face'. "Tell me how it works and I'd be more than happy to accept the 'job offer'" Tyler said.  Ethan nodded, "it's a basic desk job. You smile, act friendly, ask for their name, religion then how they died. Some won't even know how they died so you'll have to figure it out! Depending on the person- you'll be assigned an age range though it'll be wonderful if you come join me in 20-30's! Kind of blocked up and the only one here now! Sam and Nick fell in love and went back to earth together-"

"You can go back to earth?" Tyler asked, raising an eyebrow. "Children can, so can people who believe in recreation or workers here after we fall in love. We use some special stiff so we remember each other when we go back to earth!" Ethan explained. "But don't go looking for love around here- most people are so miserable, don't believe in love or aren't into your gender" he explained. Then he showed a bright smile, reaching his hand, "well friendo, you want to join!? Just sign your soul to me!" He laughed, "jokes!"

"It feels like I'm signing me soul over to a child" Tyler laugh and took his hand, shaking it.

Soon Tyler was lead to an office, a man in a black rod sat across from him. Soon the hood was pulled down- huh the grim reaper is a lady. "Hello hello there! My name is Jo! But you can call me boss!" She beamed at him excitedly. "Ooo I am so happy to have another person joining Ethan in the 20-30 section. He's slow as hell! Ha!"

Tyler sat there, confused. Ethan lend his arm on top of the taller man's head while he was sitting. Tyler was so confused he didn't even give a shit. "You're. . . I'm sorry for how I'm acting but I'm kind of in shock? I wasn't expecting urm. . . you?"

"What a jokey, sarcastic, beautiful and not to mention wonderful, overlord?" "No urm, a women?" Tyler said, looking at anything but her. She blinked then bursts out into laughter, "oh pfff, you were expecting 'a deep voiced man'?" She laughed. "That was my brother! A deep voiced Skelton! Fell in love with some mortal girl and went down to earth to live with her. Thing is, we can shape shift and go between the world's so it's not like he gave up any power!"
