[ It's a new day! Hopefully, you're feeling a little less zappy, jelly-like, and zany. And if you're not? Maybe that's the perfect excuse for ✨memories✨. ]

...that's a bold claim. I didn't kill anybody.

Then maybe it was your friend. Or the illness you or your friend caused. Point is, something screwed over your audience, and all signs point to you two.

... [ WHY IS SHE SO BLUNT. ]

[ alala looks uncomfortable. he uses the book as a bit of a shield, holding it against himself. ] ...I got sick too. [ said a little too quickly. ] And people die, that's what people do. [ sounds real bitter about that for... some reason. ] Maybe he just made it happen... sooner...

[She's a reaper she does what she wants.]

Uh-huh. So what was up with all the strings? Was that, like, their souls or something?

[ CLEARLY!!!!!!!!!!!! ]

[ ugh, there's only so much lying he can try to do when she saw it clear as day. ] Not exactly. It's a person's life force, and what you saw was it being drawn out of them... being drained...

Aaaaand you decided to screw around with everyone's life force... why?

You saw the demon, right, ..? He needs to eat, and it's me or them... and even if it ended up just being me... then he's loose, and who the hell knows what would happen. It's probably good that he's got a leash on.

I never intended things to go that poorly.

Nobody said controlling demons was easy... or possible.

How the hell did you end up in control of a demon anyway?

...ehhhh, I don't want to talk about it. [ he looks a little uncomfortable. ] But I don't control him. I can try, but... demon.

Um, yeah. Not exactly baby's first pet material.

I'll admit I probably should have started with a hamster or something.

So why a demon?

Sometimes demons are the only ones that can get things done. Options were limited.

Okay, then what did you need a demon to do?

[ ... ] I don't want to die. Ever.

Yeah, well, tough luck. Besides, based on that memory? It looks to me like your freaky friend might just kill you one day, too.

...not much can kill me, at least back home. And he can't kill me. We're connected, so doing so would likely kill him. He's just a stupid bastard sometimes. Hard to resist gorging yourself from time to time, especially with the buffet is literally right there.

And you're sure he's not going to accidentally get you both killed?

...

I guess he could try.

But that would be stupid as shit.

[ folds his arms. ]

Even though he had this little hiccup I trust he wouldn't do that.

[She shrugs.]

Your funeral.

I am NOT going to die.

Yeah, you'd be surprised how many people think they're gonna live forever.

And you might be surprised to find that there are a few people that actually do.

I'm a Reaper, remember? I've seen plenty of people begging me to realize it was allll just a mistake that they ended up in the UG.

UG... as in underground?

But, ugh, that's besides the point. I made that deal for a reason and just because I had one damn hiccup doesn't mean I let the damn demon jerk me around like I'm not the one in charge. I summoned him, he's mine, and could send him back to the underworld if I really freaking wanted to.

I didn't need him to do what I wanted, I just wanted help, needed to reach a broader audience...! [ someone might be tipping the craaaaaazy scaaaaaale. ]
