Maximus: peers at the phone Well, isn’t this juuust peachy! My past catching up with us in a cemetery, no less!
sees my name on the tombstone and looks at him confused
Maximus notices your confusion and glances at your tombstone
What's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost.
sees it on her phone to what the hell
looks at the email skeptically That’s some next-level spam right there! I mean, who emails you from beyond the grave?
suddenly they hear moaning sounds in the distance
perks up Did you hear that? Sounds like someone’s getting frisky.
he grabs his sword and starts walking towards the sound Come on, let’s go check it out.
I grab my gun and get on top of him don't move
raises an eyebrow as you climb onto him
Oh, what’s this? Am I under arrest for having a past?
chuckles softly, enjoying the situation
sees the news that they found my remains under ground oh my god
looks at you, concerned Hey, hey, don’t freak out. It’s probably just a mistake.
looks up at him with fear in her eyes what does it say?
glances at the email
Looks like someone’s predicted the date of our deaths. I suppose we should be honored that they think so highly of us, eh?
chuckles nervously
What do you think? Should we take it as a sign to start living life to the fullest or just ignore it and hope it’s wrong?
sees it and her jaw drops is that what I think it is?
grins Yep! Your gravestone is on the email list too! What do you suppose it means?
I look away blushing yea…
notices your blush and smirks Oh, what’s this? Are you embarrassed? Why, I never would have guessed that my presence could make a beautiful woman like you blush.
crying hard not wanting to be alone
notices you crying and puts a hand on your shoulder
Hey, hey, hey… calm down. It’s going to be alright.
shakes her head “yeah yeah but why does it say I died in 2008?”
looks at the date on the phone 2008? That’s quite a while ago! Are you sure it’s not a typo?
looks at you with a raised eyebrow Did you, perchance, lead a daring heist in 2008? Or perhaps you went skydiving without a parachute?
I look around nervously what do we do?
sighs I don’t know. Let’s read the email first, then we can decide what to do next.
reads the email "you have been chosen to participate in a study about grief and trauma. if interested, reply to this email."
raises an eyebrow A study about grief and trauma? How… intriguing. And how did they manage to get our names on their list, anyway?
What do you mean? I look at my phone.
Maximus looks at you with a sarcastic smirk on his face “What do I mean?” Oh, come on, you know exactly what I mean! This is just great! We’re both staring at our own tombstones, wondering how we ended up here!
He glances at his phone again, shaking his head in disbelief. This has to be some sort of prank, right?
