Umbra arrived at the buffet, and grabbed a plate. He moved down the line, piling things onto his plate, none of them with any sauces or anything too big to slip by his scarf. He noticed Laurel, and gave a small wave.

"Oh, Umbra, um...hi." Laurel was still nervous around the boy. After all, she had seen him killed right in front of her, had been splattered with his blood...and here he was, as if nothing had happened. "How...how are you?"

Umbra shrugged and them smiled. He walked up to her, and held his plate out, offering her some of his food.

"Um...thank you." She tentatively took a small portion from his plate, then added a salad from the buffet. She looked around but there was only one empty table - a two-seater. "It looks like there's only one table - shall we sit together?"

Umbra smiled and nodded, and then led the way to the table. He set his plate down on the table, and then pulled a chair out for Laurel.

"Thank you, kind sir." Laurel sat down. As Umbra sat across from her she decided to grab the bull by the horns. "Umbra, can you explain something to me?"

Laurel continued "The other night, in the club...you got shot...and died. And yet here you are, good as new. How...?"

Umbra shrugged, grabbed her hand and flipped it over. He etched "When you die here, you come back" into her hand. He picked up a piece of bread, ripped off a chunk, and then slipped it into his mouth from behind his scarf.

Umbra paused for a moment, and shrugged. He etched "no clue, but is that a bad thing?" into her hand, and then smiled.

Laurel smiled back. "No, I guess not. At least you''re OK."
((GTG - continue tomorrow?))

Kitty made it to the cocktail lounge and ordered a drink. She stirred it nonchalantly and looked about. Enjoying the soft paino and the warm weather, she went out to the baclony and rested against the railling.

"But if people come back when they die, why is there a cemetary?"

Umbra thought for a moment, and then smiled. He took her hand and etched "Only Supers" into it. He took another bite of bread, and then drank from a straw.
