Soup has spent most of his life in a small mining town since being taken to the Dark World. He likes working as a cook well enough, but living in the same small town with the same handful of people gets boring fast. How lucky that his recent duties involve feeding a pair of prisoners who also want out. Who wouldn't orchestrate a prison break and run away under those conditions? For Soup, navigating the deadly threats of the Dark World is far better than rotting away back home. Getting caught up investigating a man who claims his power to raise the dead will avert the coming apocalypse is, honestly, just another bonus.
