I need to go to Zero. Right now.

[There's the sound of hurried footsteps in the background; she's on her way to the stairs.]

I didn't do nothing and I don't plan to, but I have gotten confirmation that the demons and dark creatures here are after me. I ain't crazy or imagining things, and I ain't looking for signs and messages when there aren't any-- I got told straight out by Doctor Facilier that I pissed 'em off and I'm a goner. I don't know if any place is safe for me now, but I heard Zero's better than most.

[She takes a moment to catch her breath; she's still half-running.]

Please let me down. I wouldn't ask if it weren't an emergency; more important than life or death. It's not my body that's at stake, it's my immortal soul.

[She turns off the public feed and records a series of private messages, partially intended to be goodbye notes if things go badly. She knows people come back from the dead-- but she doesn't know if they come back from having their souls corrupted by creatures from hell.]

I'm gonna have to miss therapy for a while, I think. Unless you can come down to do it.

I know lots of people don't like you, and maybe some of 'em have good reasons; I don't know. But you were good to me and I think a lot about the things you said.

[filtered to Dillon]

You were the first person here who was as nice to me as you were, and that will always be real special to me. For as long as I live, I will never forget that you saw all I was but still liked me anyway. You were right about all the ugly stuff in me, but I been trying to be a little better, and that's because of you.

[filtered to Dillon and Simon]

I need your help-- please. Please. I don't know what to do. Is there a way to get rid of them? Can we cleanse the ship?

[filtered to Iris]

Can you come and visit me sometimes? I think I might be down there for a very long time, and I'm gonna miss you. More than anyone, maybe. If something happens to me, I want you to know that some of the people here have been nicer to me than anyone's ever been, and you were a real big part of that. And I didn't end up hating the Barge, even with all the terrible things.

[filtered to Mason]

In case I don't see you again for a while, or in case they get to me, I hope you don't forget what I said about you being good and being worth a lot-- 'cause I meant every word. You are the best inmate here and one of the best people too, and I won't forget all you did for me.

[filtered to Merlin]

I'm sorry. I tried. I didn't go after 'em again, but they found me anyway. I wanted to do right by you, I really did, but I don't know what's gonna happen now.

[uh-oh he saw her]

I left because I'm supposed to avoid you and that's just what I was doing.

I'm not paranoid. I'm going off of what he said.

I have never spoken to this doctor, just to have you know. Very few know me here as I try to keep to myself.

I have given my word to not harm you, you ruin another artical of my clothing and I may change my mind, otherwise I have no quarrel with you. As I said, your not worth my time, but let me say one thing before I leave you be. Are you listening?

Well, he made it sound like y'all worked together.

And I gave my word not to harm you, too. So why're we still talking?

I work alone, I have my own agenda, no one else here is from my world. You do not know me, so do not box me with the other damned souls.

You didn't harm me, you made me bleed. There is a fine difference. And let me point out, I AM the one who got in trouble, NOT you. As for why? Because, I have a job to do and it has nothing to do with my own personal feelings.

My advice to you, put some of that motivation into bettering yourself. You have strength and motivation. You could be more if you apply yourself. I do not see much potential in humans, take that as a compliment. Now, I will leave you be.

It ain't my fault you got into trouble.

[In a few months-- if she's lucky-- she might come to realize that it was pretty unfair that Vergil was taken to Zero too, when she was the one who attacked him. Now, though? She has no fucks to give.]

... And I don't know why you're telling me these things.

[This is the second time he's offered advice-- real advice, good advice-- and t's confusing to her. She knows he's exactly the kind of demon she thinks he is-- he'd admitted. So why is he saying stuff like this instead of trying to hurt her or corrupt her?]

No it is my warden's fault for feeling that even if you came after me, stabbed me in the back and made me bleed all over my favorite coat. That as a woman I should not have elbowed you. He would have rather I stood still and let you stab me to your hearts content. Stop you with words. That's not your problem though, that is mine. This is why despite the fact I kill demons, despite being one myself, I will not protect you if someone does come after you.

Because, everyone deserves a chance. [ And THUS the video feed ends. Cause he's a dick like that and likes to confuse people. He's totally still lurking.]

[And she is really, really, really confused. To her, this is bar none the strangest conversation she's had here, and she doesn't know what to do about that at all.]

Demons kill demons...?

[She says it to herself, assuming he isn't there anymore.]

[ He decides to just leave her hanging taking this as a victory.]

[After almost twenty-four hours and much deliberation, she contacts him again.]

Are you still there?

[ He was on his way back to his cabin from work when he got the message, stopping on the stairs to reply. ]

Yes, what do you want?

Edited 2015-02-12 00:34 (UTC)

I want to know why you said what you did before you hung up. You do'nt seem like a real demon to me.

Tell me, in your own words what a demon is, Stolti

You mean without quoting the Bible?

[But that's haaaard]

Yes, that is exactly what I mean. Short of Revelations the demons are rarely described, at least in realistic verse.

Demons are creachures of hell and they are evil, they work for the devil and want to steal souls and corupt people. And I know other worlds might have creachers that are called the same thing but are diferent, but you said you were from hell and you did'nt react well to Bibles or God's word.

First fact of point, Devil is a rank in my world, not a person. Their are demons, the lowly servants then the higher powers who have the power to rule, which would be the Devils. Not every world is the same Tiffany, Hell is a realm, such as your heaven, and I can tell you this much not every demon is evil, just as not every human is good. The world is not so black and white.

This is a conversation wasted in text. It can be easily misinterprited depending on how you read words. Just as those who translate the messages of your bible. Text and speech are not always heard the same.

So say it out loud, I do'nt care.

Oh choose, the library or the pub, both are open and in public and never empty. You will be safe. Bring your bloody bible too.

You can just say it here over this.

I tire of this. I am not doing this via text or video. Meet me somewhere or go educate yourself.

If you do'nt want to go after me then why can't you do it over video? Its the same thing.

I want to see your bloody book, see what bible you are learning from and how much has been taken out. I cant even begin to explain the expansive history and properly educate you on my kind if I dont know where to start. Anything I say without comparison you will not believe anyway.

I use the Bibles in the chapel.

Bring one to the deck then. I can not enter the chapel.

[ Not that he has tried, but after the whole holywater bullshit, nah he's good. ]
