Luca
What was I thinking, trading my last painting for a "lucky" necklace? Instead of good fortune, the cursed trinket saddled me with a stocky, heavily tattooed ghost named Prudence. Determined to make the most of things, I struck a bargain: I'd help him with his problem if he'd help me with mine. En route to Oregon to help him shed his spectral existence, my ghostly companion becomes something more, and causes me to make a few unexpected discoveries about myself. Now I'm craving a connection that should send me running for the hills, and time is against me. For someone already dead, Prudence sure seems set on dying - can I convince him there's another way before it's too late?
Prudence
After gaining my freedom, I wanted two things: sex and death. The sweet, gullible Luca was my golden ticket to both. He became mine the moment he took my cursed talisman. Optimistic to a fault, and perpetually eating his feelings, the gangly, pink-haired artist made the perfect pawn. But using him meant I couldn't like him, and also meant that neither one of us was getting a happy ending. Emotions were never my strong suit, even before I died, but I found myself actually wanting to understand my new ally in all his awkward charm. Those sociopathic tendencies I'd always held so dear? Well, they're starting to feel a lot more like fierce protectiveness towards Luca, who may be less of a keeper and more of a keeper.
