I rushed through getting this down in words
It was something I thought of right after I woke up
And then I watched Seven Deadly Sins on The History Channel
So I put them together, and I also finally got a title for it

The Registry Office of Dead Souls.

Vincent, goes to the store to buy stuff for Christmas. He, because he is so hot tempered, gets into a fight with the butcher, Alvin, and ends up killing him. Alvin gets poked on a knife because Vincent has pushed him backward and dies. Vincent, frightened because he has just killed a person, flees, and gets hit by a train.

Because of the impact, Vincent gets thrust into the small space between life and the afterlife. The small space is a huge mansion, The Registry Office of Dead Souls, where dead souls come in to get registered so they can move to the afterlife. There are many rooms in the house where the staff stay and the entire first floor is an office. Vincent goes to register to move on to the afterlife, but is turned away because he has murdered a person.

He is attacked by an entire group because of his acts and blacks out. He wakes up to find his dead sister, Violet, who died falling off a horse, taking care of him in his fainted state. He asks her what she is doing there and she states that the office had a job space open and so she decided to take it. He asks her what is going to happen to him and she leads him to seven different rooms in the house. She tells him he has to do his time according to his sin.

The first room is labelled Greed and is put aside for the rich, and mean. The second room is Envy, filled with people who covet. The third room is Sloth, and is filled with lazy people. The fourth room, Pride is filled with arrogant people. The fifth room, Lust has a sign that says "Only 18 and Above". Vincent and Violet shake their heads and move on to the sixth room, Gluttony, filled with people who eat too much. The last room Wrath has a sign underneath that says "For the hot-tempered and the murderers. ESPECIALLY for the murderers."

Violet sends him into the room and he spends ab
out five minutes getting bullied and annoyed by the rest of the angry people, who insist they don't want him in the room. Violet comes back and asks him to come out. She tells him that he can get a job in the kitchen if he doesn't want to stay in the room, but he will have to work hard. He tells her he will do anything and he gets the job, but ends up having to work with Alvin again.

Their situation is made even worse because the Registry Office of Dead Souls is hosting a big scale event and wants to beat the Registry Office of Thoughts and Feelings, who is trying to sabotage the event as much as they can. Alvin and Vincent have to work together to make it a success. In the end, Alvin and Vincent's sister move on to the afterlife, while Alvin still has to do his time in the kitchen, still getting letters from them every week.
