[It's such a lovely day in Luceti that Raven thought it would be quite nice to take the time to cook something new for his fellow housemates. Not out of generosity mind you, more out of sheer boredom since he had no intention of eating it himself. After flicking through the recipe books he had settled on making a refreshing coconut flavoured sorbet.

However, he wasn't expecting coconuts to be this difficult to work with and had no idea how to get it open. After struggling with a knife for twenty minutes he decided that it was going to take more extreme measures to get through it's deceptively furry shell. Using his bow he placed a magic spell into the ground, then jumped back and threw the coconut at it. As a result, the coconut exploded into little pieces and splattered across the front yard, not exactly what he was going for.]

That's it, I give up! [He sighed and scratched his head, he didn't want to waste the nice weather so he needed a new idea. So he decided to grab his journal and ask. Might as well clean up the mess he made too, thinking that maybe he should have just gone to the store to get a hammer instead of being so lazy about it.]

Alright, I'm tryin' ta make a nice summery dessert and I need some suggestions! I'm thinkin' something exotic? Ya know, the kind that screams a nice hot day at the beach? Sorbet, ice cream, parfait, all the stuff I hate eatin' myself and really I don't know all that much about.

Raven -- we've got to talk, son.

[Never mind that Raven is probably older than he is.]

How's the state of you ----------- spiritually. SOULFULLY.

Spiritually, soulfully? How much have you been drinkin' already?

Nothing.

Well. Two bottles. BUT. I want to KNOW, lad, how your soul is faring.

Two bottles of what...? [He sighs, nevermind.] I consider my soul long dead, this body is nothin' but a walkin' corpse.

That's BRILLIANT! [NOW HE HAS SOMEONE TO HELP!] Ha! Here. Rum. You. Drinky-drinky.

Thanks! [He takes the rum and then it hits him.]

Wait, wait, wait wait wait... What?!

I need to save souls, mate. One hundred souls. YOU? Soulless! PERFECT. Cheers! [Come on, then. Clink bottles together. That's right. Clinky.]

[Clinky clinky.] I'm so confused right now... I don't even know if souls exist, let alone whether I have one! Why do ya need ta save one hundred of 'em anyway?

I'm doing it because I'm questing, lad. For a woman. Now then: a soul test.

Do you enjoy puppies?

For a woman?! Why didn't ya say that in the first place? I'll do what I can ta help!

As fer puppies, I guess I don't care about 'em? Never had a pet myself.

Hrrrrm.

[Doesn't care about puppies? That's a black mark, that is. Jack tries again:]

Right. Next question: do you enjoy rum-raspberry ice cream?

I love rum but it's a no on the ice cream, I hate the cold and I hate sweet stuff!

Ah.

[Man, this was a tough case indeed. The rum, though. That was a point.]

Blonds, redheads, or brunettes?

[This was kind of a trick question.]

All of 'em! And girls with blue, pink, green, you name it! I don't care about the hair color, all ladies are fine with old Raven~

Excellent! Ten points. [Good one, Raven.]

Now, harder questions: when is it alright to snuff someone else's life out?

[Now that's a difficult one he didn't see coming, and a complicated one to answer.]

I'd leave that sort of decision in someone else's hands... but if I had ta give an answer, sometimes there's things ya have to do, whether ya want to do them or not. And I'd never want ta kill someone.

Sounds soullish to me! Why on earth do you think you don't have one, mate?

When ya die yer soul leaves your body, right? If that's true then my soul went for a walk over a decade ago.

......................I've died twice.

[WUH OH.]

You...sure about that, mate?

Good! Then we can be soulless undead buddies!

But that's how the story goes, doesn't it? Seems ta be the same sort of idea in many worlds.

Buffy died. Buffy died and her soul gleams like starlight. Like starlight on winter water.

[Cute.]

Then maybe there's hope for folks like us? Fer some worlds souls are as important as any other organ in the body, in other worlds they're just myths and stories. I dunno about this world, but maybe we do have souls here? We do come back when we die after all.

I'm voting "yes" on that. Betting on it, really! And if it's not so...

I suppose I've lost nothing by it, in the end.

[He smirks a little at that.]

If we do have souls then, does that mean I'm one of those hundred yer gonna save?

You COULD be. You up for it? I won't save you any more than you want to be, and it really would be a favor, mate.
