Jubilee stands in front of The Sitch Coffee Shop then looked at her watch, her mind went over this several times, a part of her tells her it's not too late to back down but the reason why she is here is what keeps her going. It's about twenty minutes early but she likes arriving ahead of schedule.
Dressed in a long yellow overcoat while sporting a dark pink leather attire that matches the color of her shades
OT: The black attire is dark pink and her chest size is a few inches larger
"Now or never" Jubilee thought to herself then she stepped in. As she took a seat infront of the window a waitress went over to her and smiled" Hi welcome to The Sitch. Can I get you anything"
"Not yet" Jubilee smiled" Just waiting for somebody"
Twenty minutes gone by....
Jubilee looked at the entrance, she wonders if she found the right place then a voice said next to her
"Hello" Jubilee looked to her left then sees
"Jubilation Lee I presume" Death smiled then offered her hand
"Wow...Never expected this" Jubilee said as she blushed at Death's appearance then shook her hand" Hello"
"I like the regular coffee, half cream/half sugar" Jubilee said to the waitress who wrote it down then looked at Death" And you?" Death responded" The same, but minus the cream and sugar"
The waitress nods then said" You're orders will come up very soon"
As she left Jubilee said to Death" A coffee without the good stuff put in? Bold move"
She tries to keep her hands steady as she puts the coffee cup down but it didn't stop the woman across from her to notice" No need to be nervous"
"Sorry" Jubilee blushed" ItjustfeellikeI'mtalkingto..." Her face flushed even more, whenever she gets really nervous she starts to talk really fast. She took a moment then when the color on her face returned to normal she continued" Given your status it's as close to talking to a big time celebrity as I can get."
"Understandable and quite welcoming reaction." Death smiled" Beats the usual running, screaming, and often both reaction I'd get. Which is why I don't often announce myself, unless I'm on the job"
"In one way it's understandable, given your title, yet it's a pity given that you're not like any death being I've come across" Jubilee said
"BTW congratulations on Jean joining the Fantastic Four. Ever considered doing what she did and be a superhero on a more public basis?" Death asked" You have just the right personality" she smiled
Jubilee tapped her chin" I have considered going on my own, The X-Men will always be considered as my family and I like the friends that I have made with the other superheroes but I just got to find my own path you know"
Death nods" All too well"
As they continued talking Jubilee started to feel more comfortable around her presence she then starts to bring up the topic of what brought her here" There is something thats been bugging me for quite awhile"
"You don't have a soul and when you die it will be damned for eternity" Death said then sips her coffee as Jubilee stares at her with a stunned expression
After Death puts the coffee down she responded"I'm Death. This is pretty much my field"
Finding her voice Jubilee said" So whats happening to my soul now?"
"It's in limbo, a realm thats between life and death" Death responded
"Is there a way I can get my soul back?" Jubilee asked
"There is a way, I can give it to you" Death said which Jubilee smiled slightly"Really?"
"Don't get to excited. I cant just give your soul to you all willy-nilly, if you really want it back then you have to earn it by passing a series of three trials" Death then hold up two fingers at the waitress then pointed at their table
"I figured theres a catch" Jubilee said as her smile never faded
"I should warn you, these trials that you shall compete in aren't easy. Some people even died when they fail to complete the trials, some were flayed, burned, ripped to pieces, eaten alive, fell to their death, then others suffered a much worse fate" Death said then she turned to the waitress who had a terrified look on her face after she overheard the conversation then she took her and Jubilee's respective drinks"Thank you" Death smiled then handed Jubilee's drink to her then the waitress spoke shakily"Anything else you ladies want?"
Jubilee shook her head" I'm good"
"Same here" Death said
As the waitress didn't waste no time leaving Jubilee said"I'm prepared to face whatever you will throw at me"
Death puts down her cup after drinking it then took out a notepad and wrote something on it"For you" she rips it off and puts it in the pocket of Jubilee's coat" It's the location of where your first trial is, which will be in Hong Kong. If you complete these trials then consider your soul returned to you and, should you meet the final death then it's free to go to whatever afterlife it goes to. However once you get your soul back it doesn't eliminate your vampirism"
"I'm pretty much used to this so no biggie." Jubilee said then she gets up and leaves the waitress a tip
"Thanks for the conversation" Death said then the two raises their cups to eachother, Jubilee responded" Anytime" she then exits the coffee shop
