While I appreciate the sensibility and concern, I've come out the victor of fights against opponents armed with guns. And, should there be someone out there with one... the sound of a gun firing will be heard far across this supposed afterlife, with nothing to obstruct the noise. Regardless of whether one has chosen to stay here, or has decided to venture out, they'll know that the possibility is there.
[ the youth are so willful... good for them. ]
Do you expect there to be an answer here? [ a genuine question to - frankly, all of this. ]
[Bam, doesn't take long for you to have a beef bowl in front of you, Jiaoqiu! It looks tasty enough. If Akihiko were to be asked he sure would have Opinions, but since the purpose is to get an impartial rating from someone else, he keeps them to himself]
Thanks for the food.
[And he dives into his own hot pot thing. He's not shy about this at all, he puts enthusiasm into this]
he hands her a cup of hot pot that is more kind of like a cup of instant ramen because he's doing his best with the fast food stipulation. it is. insanely hot, like, your intestines are crying and you're begging god for mercy hot. ]
[HE'S SO PROPER!! And Catholic. What a mood. Lucas wishes he had a scarf too, all he can do is just keep adjusting his top to try covering himself better.]
Just Lucas is fine, dear. It's a pleasure to meet you, too. [AS FOR THE QUESTION. WELL.]
The afterlife, certainly. And not Hades, at the very least.
[Is this Heaven? It's fucking weird! He doesn't know!! But he assumes that's the case!]
Of course - Charlie, then. [ files away, before he considers his answer. ] The cafe and the surrounding... hm, structures, if they can be called that. Not much else, hence my interest in seeing if there's more out here. Yourself?
[ this seems to matter very much to him and he's careful about pronouncing it correctly, murmuring it a couple of times, and then getting completely distracted. ]
-- I've never even heard of such a place, so that must be correct! Tell me, is that where you hail from? What's it like?
Oh, is this your first time meeting a mustari? [ Pleasantly. ]
Yes. My third eye allows me to perceive magla. Such a large and powerful spell would surely leave a visible trace... and yet, I can't seem to make anything out.
[ just saying. be careful! well he's going to step the fuck outta the way, he is good at that. mages get to the back of the room all the time. he'll wince a bit when he hits the door and nothing happens, but alright. ]
