"I'll be sure to pick up some neon light, when we hit the loving world again." She popped off just to pick on a guy, she just had met. Eilis chuckled at her own comment then let Lee's dinosaurs sink in and Neve room of yarn... just the thought of all their possible rooms, if that was the case, was just insane. What would he's be? "A room full of medical equipmemt... or maybe an old tailor's workshop." Yep sounds about right for Eilis.
"I'm from the 19th century."

Lee nodded to Neve like, okay that's not too bad but then he heard HENG'S ANSWER and he just slowly looked over to the other man, staring at him.
"Are you for real man? That's frickin' frackin' incredible! Also a bit surreal cause now I can feel how less real this whole situation feels..." he said as he flipped down from his bunk, wincing at the ankle burn from his landing, "So... you mentioned we have a team name right? Is that a common thing here?" His brain already started to churn up ideas. What could they even come up with?
What could HE Even come up with that the rest of them would get the joke of?? Probably not alot and if he did it would be morbid as hell.

Heng held up his hand, the other going straight to covering his eyes a bit, shielding them from the memories of his last room.
"Please no neon lights," he said. He was prepared to obliterate them. He really is.
He looked back at his teammates by the bunk beds. The name conversation had sprung up again.
"Indeed. Most teams assign to themselves a name. It unifies them better, I suppose. I know that we are thus far referred to as 'Unit 14', or 'Team 14'," Heng said.

The woman couldn't help but smile at her teammate. "No worries... I think I enjoy the cozy feeling of this room better than crazy bright lights and party music." Though, she wouldn't complain too much if that was the theme, as long as it hadn't been twenty four seven, and she could get some sleep... The warm feeling of this room felt perfect, though. It even gave her an idea.
Eilis began for the door to stop real quick to answer Lee. "Group names have helped the team bond together... plus it can give definition for other team's to try to understand that individual one a bit more. It doesn't have to be anything spectacular... Simple and to the point could be great for team names as well." The door opened momentarily letting her through. "I'll be back in a few." With that, she was gone and headed to the main kitchen.

Lee sat up and scratched his stomach, "Well... You guys seem to be a lot more experienced in this... got any names in mind?" He asked and thought about it, "Cause I have some but they're ridiculous-- I don't think you guys would like that." He said but snorted to himself cause it was TRUE. Watching Eilis go though he tilted his head, "O-OKay..." he said and arched a brow before looking down to Heng.
"Should we follow her or would that be a really bad idea?"

Heng went back to leaning against the bed post, crossing his arms.
"Any ideas seem to be appreciated," he said to Lee. Lee must be a new Apprentice, from the way he talked and how he seemed to be adjusting. The others seem to be more in tune with who they are, or rather what they are.
When Heng first came here, for a while he was convinced that he had become a vengeful spirit of some sort, and despaired for that while as well. How dishonourable it is to be revived as a hateful spirit like that? However with time came the realization that he was just... a spirit. A rather solid one at that. Heng blew some air out of his nose in what seemed to almost be a chuckle. He hadn't thought of that in a while.
Lee's question interrupted his thoughts, bringing him back to the task at hand.
"How would that be a bad idea? Though I suppose she could see it as an invasion of her privacy," Heng said.

In the kitchen, Eilis was messing around with the stove top and darting all across the place; getting this and getting that. Several minutes would pass if time was on fast forward. The brownish liquid in the pot came to a boil and quickly... it was done. Didn't seem long at all.
She, herself, wasnt a real fan of chocolate but there was something about completely homemade hot chocolate that was different. With homemade it was thicker, creamier, mixed up with any personal selection of add on spices, and just more addicting that any boxed cocoa or anything could me. Eilis spent years perfecting her Aunt's recipe to her own tastes; Not too chocolaty, not too sweet... just right. Making it always seemed to remind her of family and all the great moments within her past... Though recent events, she wanted to be happy and make others happy...
The woman pulled a tray from the cupboards, a thermos, and four glass mugs. The liquid poured in the thermos and even nicely set upon the tray. All that was left were spoons and marshmellows. Tray in hand, Eilis started her way back, very slowly.

Lee was still just trying to get used to the fact that he was no longer a living soul. At least, not to normal people.... he made a face though of guilt as soon as Heng mentioned Eilis's privacy and he nodded, "Yeah maybe I'll just-- not... I'll lay off I mean we just met and everything don't wanna make things super awkward day zero right?" he said and had half a mind to shove his face into a pillow--
Until he smelt something nice and sweet coming towards their room and he perked up.
"Something smells good..." Maybe it was her...

Heng looked towards the entranceway. Indeed an aroma had wafted in.
"Chocolate?" he took a breath, breathing it in.

Eilis slowly carried the tray and such, getting closer and closer. The door open a sigh a relief escaped but she stopped seeing the group staring straight at the way she had come in through. "Ummm... hi." With a slightly embarrassed smile showing to the world, the woman gave puppy dog eyes slightly giving the obvious impression, being like this wasn't really normal for her. "I made some Hot Chocolate for us... Hope you all don't mind."

"Chocolate..." Lee whispered and seeing Eilis come in with mugs, he jumped off the top bunk and landed hard on the floor. He smiled to her genuinely and moved to help her with the tray, "No not at all, thanks. I didn't even think of anything like that..." he said as he took a mug and set the other one near Neve (Wherever she was). Sniffing it he sat down on the floor before looking up to Eilis.
"Thank you-- This smells great." and despite his sharp AF Cheekbones, his eyes were soft as he blew on the drink to try and take a sip.

Heng grunted when Lee jumped down, landing with a thud beside him.
"Thank you kindly," Heng said to Eilis as he approached her after Lee. He took a cup, nodding at her, then went back to his newly acquired post of leaning against the bunk bed frame thing.
He blew across the surface of it a few times, then took a tentative sip. It was a good temperature (though Heng happens to have a higher tolerance for hot liquids, being the avid tea drinker he is).
" 'Tis very sweet," Heng said, smiling for the first time in front of his new teammates.

The men came forward each grabbing a mug then running off to their own section of the room. Eilis's smile softened into one of pure meaning, even caused a small blush. They liked it... they really did. Thus was making it a bit easier to settle in and comfirm this as their new group. She placed the tray down on the table and took her own place moving a chair close to the window but not too far from the fireplace. "I'm happy you all enjoy the cocoa..." Her eyes scanned everyone. It was legit; they truly looked like a team. Slowly but surely to be one comfortable with each other. Eilis had no clue what to say to any of them, as in her mind she took in every sight coming up with a basic idea of each fellow team mate.

"If.... If you guys want, maybe we can do a night where we all cook something for eachother to eat?" Lee suggested as he sipped his cocoa. he was more a fan of cold drinks, hell he was imagining blending this with ice in a blender cause YUM That would be delicious but he sipped it some more, "Like a team dinner or something."
He crawled a little closer to the fire and then he smiled. Maybe this wasn't going to be so bad.
"Oh so-- since... I'm pretty new here... What do we do around here? besides work, I mean like I'm in weapons collection and I guess... reaping duty but what do you guys do?"

"Don't depend on me for food," Heng said flatly. He drank some more.
"Weapons collection is a solemn duty," Heng said, gesturing as he talked. "I am a Guardian, or bodyguard, whichever you prefer. As for activities beyond reaping?" Heng looked out the window.
"When I first arrived in Death's Realm, I was very, ah, restless. Or anxious. I came from a life of war, so I couldn't realize how idle it is in this realm. It felt unnatural," he sipped his hot chocolate (which was almost gone already). He looked over at Lee. "Truth be told, there is not much to do within this Realm. You could carry on chores and the like, or sleep when you want, eat, wander around. In the end I discovered that this realm embodies 'All the time that you want'. Though we are not immortal, we also do not age any longer. There are no restrictions to time. Anything that you couldn't do while you were alive, well, they are all within your grasp now. In a sense," Heng continued. He had finished his hot chocolate.
"But a good first would be to familiarize yourself with the more populated areas of this Realm."
