I'm Grace. I work in a funeral home as a mortician and I'm more comfortable with my dead customers than the living. After a System Integration apocalypse I'm set on a path that let's me really embrace that aspect about myself. Hopefully my undead minions will keep the pesky living beings away, but my BFF Mara might have something to say about that. If she gets her way I'll quickly be partied up and saving the world alongside her. Ew. Guess we'll have to wait and see how things go. What to expect:Queer characters, lots of themNeurospicy charactersViolenceReluctantly taking up the mantle of heroPeople repulsed by myself and my minionsNot caring about people being repulsed by myself and my minionsI'm not sure where this is going, I'm as much along for the ride as you areUseless lesbiansSlowburn Romance*Tags may change*
