Chapter Two~Night Out

The next couple weeks went by smoothly. Flora and Fauna seemed to enjoy my company and we made a habit of exploring things around the city every Friday. Lust seems to have grown to enjoy irritating me relentlessly. She and some of the other sins are going to a bar this weekend and she's trying to do anything to get me to go.

I'm not sure what her aim is at this point but it can't be good. It might be a good opportunity to get to know them better tho. Maybe even get some blackmail pictures so she will leave me alone.

I learned the Lucy was actually quite down in the dumps when I first met her but now she seems to be doing okay. She visits her friend every other day at the ward but she still avoids the topic. I've had to ask some other people who this friend is and apparently it's death. Like the grim reaper death. How he managed to almost die is beyond me. This guys gotta be pretty tough to control and over see Death. I hope well get to meet one day.

On a similar note I've learned that there are actually occupants on Deaths floor. Lucy has been helping as much as she can to cover his job but apparently they hired an intern to help and a little kid in a skull mask appeared and is helping as much as they can. There even shorter then me. And that's saying something in this place. The whole reason a group of new employees started working here is because of Deaths absence. Flora and Fauna are helping Life, I'm helping Lucy, Loves responsibility's increased, and they hired Ryan Boulevard. They were interesting.

Not much for conversation that I've seen and no one one really knows what's there deal is yet. They come in. Do there job and leave. It's intriguing to say the least. I'd like to interview them one day or something.

I've made it a bit of a habit to record the things I see here. There are so many people that it helps get my mind around everyone by creating files on them. I don't use them and I don't dig, but just observations I see or things I hear. It's a harmless little hobby and I'm sure people have noticed. They don't seem to care tho.

Tonight's friday night so Flora Fauna and I are all going to the eastern side of town and getting dinner. It's a little restaurant owned by a family. There living relatives have one in the world of the living as well. It's kind of sweet. They apparently have the best comfort food out there and a lemon aid that's to die for.

No pun intended.

I had just finished everything for the day and was headed out of my office. I heard the Sins chanting about something. I curiously peeked in only to regret doing so. Pride was apparently challenged with the task of chugging a bottle of something. Apparently some people got pretty into it. Pride was shirtless as always and he was practically soaked in what ever he was drinking. His blue hair was slicked back from the liquid. It was defiantly carbonated and sticky from his reaction to getting covered. Envy was the first one to notice me. She pushed up her glasses and looked at me as if to answer a question.

"Oh hello, heading out Devin?"

"Yeah, just thought I'd see what the commotion was about. Just Pride making a fool of himself again." I was about to pop out when Lust chimed in.

"You coming out with us Saturday?" She whipped some of the liquid off of Pride with a finger and flicked it in a random direction.

"What is your problem with inviting him? You've been asking all week!" Pride was annoyed.

"Hey, I can spend time with who ever I please!" I rolled my eyes at Lusts comment. I wasn't sure if it would be a good idea or not. Maybe I could bring someone else with me but the chance if convincing someone to party with the ultimate partiers would be rough. Adder might come. But it's a risk to even ask at this point. You know what, fuck it.
