Arriving at the first level of the astral plane, Veronica was already well acquainted with a few people due to asking many questions for a previous assignment as well as coming back during her spare time. She floated around looking for one of the people she knew. With no luck in finding any of them, she finally stopped walking and huffed, folding her arms over her chest.
“V! Is that you?” a male voice sounded from behind her.
Turning around, a smile spread on Veronica’s lips. “Mel, hi,” She said enthusiastically with a wave.
They walked towards each other and exchanged a quick hug.
Mel was a very tall man with defined cheekbones, a crooked smile, and smooth, chocolate skin. “How’s it been going?” He asked, putting his hands in his pockets. “It’s been a while since I’ve seen you.”
“Yeah, yeah, it has,” she nodded while speaking. “Everything has been pretty good with me. And you?”
“Well, you know. Everyone’s telling me to ride the train of happiness, but I’m not budging, so there’s been a bit of backlash.” He shrugged and chuckled.
Veronica frowned and averted her eyes, shaking her head as she did so. “That’s bad. Cruel world you live in, Melly.”
He shrugged. “Well, I’m used to it.”
“Have you chatted up with Alice lately? Last time I saw her she said she was gonna jack you up because she hadn’t seen you in a while,” the demon said as she blew her fringe out of her eye.
Mel laughed. “Yeah, I saw Alice. Got a scalding from her, but she didn’t hurt me,” He said.
“guys, guys!”
The duo turned around to see Alice running towards them waving her hand frantically.
“Alice wassup?” Mel said with smile as he extended his fist.
“Nothing much,” Alice smiled, her visible eye getting squinty as she fist bumped the latter.
“Hey Alice,” Veronica said.
Alice was a short girl with pale skin and long, dark hair that covered one of her eyes. “So! What’d I miss?” She asked as she put her hands on her hips.
“I was about to ask Mel to come help me find you so we could go someplace cool, but since you did the hard part for us…” The demon laughed. “Where should we go?”
The short girl got between the others and grabbed each of their arms. “I know a really neat place not too far from here. It’s gorgeous.”
Mel and Veronica allowed themselves to be pulled off in the direction of the place as Alice went on and on about how much she loved it.
wOOO I'M GETTING THESE IN KINDA LATE FFFFFF-

Gomen. Been kinda emotional lately, not to mention that I had to completely redo the painting above because it was a totally different composition :B And I had a creative block for a while.
Honestly that was very last minute. I like the way it turned out though, minus the fact that I mADE ALICE'S SKIN TOO DARK IMO UGH

I stuck a few song titles in there, those being Let's Ride the Train of Happiness by Utsu-P, Cruel World by Lana Del Rey, and Jack You Up by Mindless Self Indulgence. Let's Ride the Train of Happiness is about religion, and it's from a pastor's POV, basically telling people "FOLLOW THIS RELIGION AND GO TO HEAVEN OR ELSE" by using a train as a metaphor. That's the only song that has a little substance in this tbh
I got their names from my favorite producer Kikuo (now Asian melancholic). He released an album recently called at first, and it's very chill you should go listen to it because it goes with the story well

Can you tell that Alice is Korean?? It's the first time I've drawn someone of Korean decent and idk how well you can tell LMAO

I'll get the assignment in later on today and I'll stop rambling now HAHAHA
