Niko shrugged. "Death. What comes after."

Niko shrugged. "Death. What comes after."
"Well for some magical reason you two are the only creatures I've seen in the city the entire night. And I've been wandering around this half of the city."
"And how would either of you know about that?"
"Because I just so happen to be a dead prince from a few thousand years ago."
Lili blinked and burst out laughing. "You're nuts."

"And I was brought back to life," Niko added, "I would've rather stayed where I went, honestly."
"Gods I would have loved to be in whatever afterlife you got shot into. I spend 3,000 years or so breaking out of Purgatory," Cyprus grumbled
Lili took a step back. "You guys are joking, right? You don't actually believe," she waved her arms wildly, "this?"
Just for kicks, Cyprus detatched his head and held it in his hand. "This believable enough for you sweetheart?"

"It wasn't pleasant, that's for sure. But it's more pleasant than being here," Niko said. He turned to Lili. "I can't do that, but I do have 23 or so scars from where I was stabbed to death if you want to see them."
Cyprus turned his detached head to Niko. "Ooh, 23? That sounds like it was wonderful to go through, how many people did you have to make angry for that?"

"One…" Niko muttered, "It was my mother. Nothing like a woman scorned, yeah?"
"Ah, sounds like my mother when she had a few drinks. Never could hold her wine. One wrong move and she's sending everyone to the executioner."
Just for kicks, Cyprus detatched his head and held it in his hand. "This believable enough for you sweetheart?"
Lili let out a small scream. (is swearing allowed?) "What the fudge," she said weakly. She blinked and shook her head. "I can't believe it. Wow. I cannot believe this."
(yeah swearing's allowed) Cyprus chuckled, putting his head back to its proper place. "Delayed reaction much?"
group
(Yeah, I don't really care about swearing much. I probably won't do anything beyond PG swears myself though because I'm a wimp.)
Niko was unfazed by Cyprus removing his head. He'd certainly seen worse.
(Lol ok)
"Well, I don't usually see people pull off their heads, so I'll gradually get used to it." she squeaked.
"Well I don't supposed you've seen a ghost before either."
She shook her head vigorously.
group
"Well, to be fair," Niko said, "I haven't, either."
"Well no apologies for scaring you, but I am curious. Why is it that only you two are on the streets right now?"
Lili swallowed. "Just trying to escape for a little while."

"This is usually a dead town at night," Niko sighed, "If you wanted a better place to haunt, you should've tried a bigger city."
Cyprus shrugged. "Well, once apon a time this city was the most active at night. My how things change in the span of a few years."
(what city is this again?)
"There are still certain neighbourhoods that stay up."
(I don't know in all honesty. we could make it somewhere big like New York or LA but it's up to you guys)
group
(I'm not sure.)
Niko nodded. "Maybe, but downtown is usually dead. They don't have the best business anymore. Everything on this side of town is old and run-down."
Cyprus looked down the city, finally noticing the staggering amount of closed businesses. "Well, I guess that's why I wanted to come here I suppose. Guess that's a sort of subconscious ghost rule."

"What, making a ghost town a literal ghost town?" Niko asked with a smirk.
He smiled. "If the shoe fits."
