Slowly pocking his head off the roof, he looked down at the ghost that was still hovering on the ground. "I should not leave him." He muttered, "Who know what will go after him." Sighing at his stupidity and recklessness, he leaped back off the roof has glided back down to the ground, but not right next to the man, more like a few streets down so he could spy on him.
Braxton tried to think. Something he wasn't used to doing. Maybe he could call out for help. "DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHAT TO DO ONCE YOU DIE???"
"I do!!!" Lance exclaimed, "Shut up stupid!" He muttered, "You just gave away your hiding place." Pocking his head back, he yelled, "But I'm not sure it will help." Then he when back to hiding.
"Oh there you are!" Braxton grumbled, flying up to where he was. "What do I have to do?"
"I'm feeding my birdy!" He blurted, randomly trying to shove a piece of meat down into throat, "But its not working! And I told you, I don't think it will help."
"I don't think that's how you feed a bird…" He said, getting a little off topic. "I don't care if it helps I just need something to do."
"But its fun when you go around the world and people cant see you! Why do you want to leave?"

(lol. I'm here for a teensy tiny bit)
"I guess you're right. Can you at least tell me so when I'm ready I can go?" He said, impatiently. Stroking through his hair.
"Uhhh…." Why am I in the profession again? Placing his hand on the boy's shoulder, he replied, "Look here, I can not tell you when you're ready. God will call you when you have completed the tasks you never finished… Let say you never said your Rosary or you skipped mass, you now, in this life, have to for fill those duties you never completed." Taking a step back, he finished, "That is what you must do to enter back into the gates of Heaven."
Braxton smacked his forehead. There were so many things he hadn't done. "So my unfinished business?"
"Yes, exactly!" Lance said, folding his hands together, "Some souls have to make up for years of unfinished deeds. So don't rush it."
Braxton groaned. He did not want to be here for years. "Well thanks anyway." He said, rushing off to his first unfinished business. His mom's grave.
"But I still have to follow you!" Lance complained, racing after him like a child, "Who knows what will come after you! And I cant let you been stolen!"
"OK FINE!" Braxton yelled. Not stopping till he treached the grave.He looked down at it's baren surface. A single dead flower lay on top of it. Braxton knew where a flower store was so he headed there.
Following him like a puppy, Lance kept quiet as he raced after him to the flower store.
(May I join?)
(Sure!)
(Thx!)
(Yes! Absolutely. We need as many peeps as we can get. The underworld is big after all!)
(And Lance is still following his run away ghost)
(Exactly.)
(Should we continue?)
Braxton walked in and waved at the man at the front. He showed no response and at first, Braxton was confused. Then he remembered he was a ghost. He grabbed a bunch of flowers and floated out quickly back towards the cemetery.
"You could have picked some wild flowers, there was no need in stealing someone else's." Lances said, racing back after him.
"It's not stealing if you're not alive." Braxton sassed back. He emptied the dead flowers from the small vase and put some fresh water in along with the flowers.
"Stealing is stealing, so matter what." He blurted, standing at the foot of the grave.
"Huh. Well alright." Braxton continued filling unfinished business for months, going to church, writing thank you notes to loved ones and apology notes to others and then hiding them in his desk. He went to school and had Lance as his teacher, etc. Finally one day he saw a young girl searching for her pet bunny. His heart turned to kindness, something he hadn't felt in a long time, and he searched for the bunny. He found it stuck in a fence and unstuck it, carrying it until he was near enough to the girl where he set it on the ground. The girl saw the bunny and squealed with joy, embracing it in her arms. "LANCE!" Braxton called out. "I THINK I'M DONE NOW!"
(Wow, do you really what to get done with this Rp that quickly?)
"Why are you like this?" He said slowly, still out of breath, "You run around everywhere and I cant catch up! I have wings you know and they are heavy!"
