(Well, they give you good format I guess? And it helps teach you to write what you mean to say in a way that others will understand. I think.)

Austyn shudders. "I don't like it when people die. I would never be able to get used to it."

'No. Let's not do that. It doesn't sound safe.' Azrail signs. 'Why don't we ask East to come out of the lava somewhat so we can talk?'
Churrio doesn't listen to Azrail, not that she could hear him anyways. "Let's all go into the lava and see what happens." She says, offering to dive right into the lava.
Azrail reluctantly agrees that if all else fails, they could send someone into the lava.

(*Shrugs* maybe, I wouldn't know xD. I guess that's true!)

"I'm used to death, it haunts me always," Tippy said quietly, his voice drowned out by his loud brother.
"Death is part of life! Hard, but still something you must cope with," Rin says with a sheepish smile.

"Maybe... East! EAST! We want to talk," Zio yelled waiting for a response, nothing happened.
West watched in silence, looking confused. They waited, seeing if they could figure things out.
Zio waited some more before calling again. She glances at Will before going over to him, pushing him towards the lava, deciding to see what happened.

(=P Still, essays aren't fun to do.)

Austyn glances at the crow and tried to pick it up again, deciding not to continue the conversation because he was uncomfortable with the topic.

Azrail shuts his eyes tight when Zio pushed Will nearer the edge. He wasn't sure that was the right choice and was seriously regretting allowing Zio to push Will in if it came to it.

(True, true)

The crow cawed, flying and landing on Riley's head, just to annoy him.
"Aw, he likes you," Rin said casually from his seat, finding the crow cute.

Zio pushes Will until he is at the very edge. He then glances at Azrail and gave him a smug smile before pushing Will over the edge. He hit the lava and disappeared under the surface. West growled, looking over the edge, still nothing.
"Whelp Will is dead," Zio said with a shrug.

Riley grabs the bird that was currently landed on his head and hands it to Austyn. "I don't want a bird. Austyn seems to want one though, so the bird's his responsibility." Austyn seems to light up with excitement as the bird was handed to him.

Azrail moans and sits down, putting his head in his arms. He failed. Another one he had loved gone. He should have learned from before that those he loves die and not have gotten emotions attached to Will. Azrail tries to push the burning hot feeling of shame and despair down, but it seemed lodged in his throat. He gasps for breath as he shuts his eyes tight against the tears that threatened to fall.

The bird cawed, trying and failing to fly away. It want still when it was handed to Austyn, making a cooing noise. It gently nuzzled Austyn's hand before closing it's eyes.
"So cute," Rin came over and tried to pet it, only to have it peck him, "Ow!"

Suddenly a hand appeared from the lava as a figure crawled up to the cliff, droplets of lava dripping down it. It had a charred black wolverine skull, their body made of hardened lava, how it was able to move, no one knows. It was small, with long bone claws on it's fingers and feet. It stood up, looking at them all with red eyes, lava eyes.

Austyn gently pets the crow in the correct way, "Be nice. Rin is a friend. A good friend that kept me from dying. Eh, at least procrastinated the day I die. Also, you are a very pretty bird." He says, the feathers feeling soft and smooth against his fingers.

Churrio flaps near it. "Oooo. Hi! Are you East? I'm guessing you are. Hehe, we just tossed someone down that needs the heart of fire to live. It was Zio's idea to toss him in." She says, hesitating before landing next to the group.
Azrail doesn't break apart from his cocoon of sadness. He didn't want to face the world and the potential of Will bring gone forever.

The crow caws... then closes it's eyes again. It cooed when Austyn said it was a pretty bird, fluffing up it's feathers a bit to look even more poofy.
"I'm a friend? I have a friend! Yay," Rin said excitedly shaking Tippy, who didn't look to pleased.

The... thing growled, turning to look at Zio. West growled back and East paused, staring at West.
"That thing woke me up," East growled, voice high pitched and whiny sounding, "How dare you! I was sleeping!"
Zio shrugged, "Unfreeze Will then you can go back to sleep," He partly lied, needing East even after Will was okay.
"Why should I? He doesn't melt in the lava, it's interesting. I want him! He's mine," It whined softly sitting down as it scrapped it claws against the ground, "All mine!"

"Of course you have a friend? Why wouldn't you be my friend? Blackout, Pinky, and Barks are my friends to. so is Riley. And Azrail and Will and West and North." He lists about a few hundred more names. Riley cut him short, accidentally on purpose shoving him out of the chair so he would stop talking. Austyn holds the bird close to him to make sure it didn't get hurt when he hits the ground. He then lets the bird go.

Azrail was trying to make sense of what East had said from his anti-social corner. Churrio nods as she listens. "I don't think Azrail would allow you to keep Will." Churrio says helpfully.
'He's going to keep Will? East can't do that.' Azrail signs, momentarily interacting with others. 'Will is mine.'

"We are enemies," Blackout said casually, awake now, "We can't be friends. I am a murderer, you are not. Being friends is simply not a option."
"I'm a killer too! Can we be friends! We are friends now," Rin declared cheerfully while Tippy sighed, watching Rin with a tired expression.
The bird stay on Austyn, refusing to move. Austyn was now the birds favorite and it wasn't about to leave him.

"No! Mine! All mine," East whined stomping their cute tiny feet against the ground, "Mine, mine, mine, mine!"
Zio rolled her eyes, not wanting to deal with this. West growled, but both Zio and East ignored him.
