[tucky]

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.

But I'm not a coward and do'nt you fucking forget it.

Empty words from the girl who cried wolf.

[tucky]

Words from someone who listens to her warden and her friends.

[walkthedarkpath]

Yet you contacted me this time. Even text is disobeying.

Text

[tucky]

No, I do'nt think it is.

Text 1 - 4

[walkthedarkpath]

Text 1: Demons are beings born from the darkness. In the begining their was only darkness and light, the humans resides in the light. The demons tried to take over under the command of the demon king, Mundus. He was defeated when one of his generals rebelled and awoke to justice, fighting for the hapless humans betraying his own kind and slamming the gates to the demonic world, or hell as you call it. That demon stayed on the side of the humans protecting them until his death.

Text 2: Most demons are low ranking as most higher levels do not breed. The low levels are the ones you speak of, the ones that attack at random and aim to harm. The higher levels, the devils are mostly warriors who serve Mundus. Most hate him, but the truest of all evils is Mundus himself, he would see your people enslaved and slaughtered.

Text 3: Not all demons are bound by the rules of religion. Christianity exists in my world, and thrives, but I can tell you without a doubt there are NO Angels, they do not exist. The Savior and Mundus are the only super powers known of. And even the Savior came of Mundus, he said we all came from light and darkness.

Text 4: Lastly, I am NOT a Christian. I am a demonic pagan, so in your own words, burn in hell. You offended me, thus I offended you. That should answer all of your bloody questions.

[tucky]

I know alot of people here who are'nt Christians, that's not why I went after you.

Thats all stuff from your world?

[walkthedarkpath]

I KNOW why you went after me, You made it clear over and over. Let me be the first to point out, your god sounds pretty cool in the old testament, all fire and brimstone. But your god being all peace loving in the new testament, well. You went against that, your suppose to turn the other cheek the days of king Solomon are over.

[tucky]

Demons were an exeption I thought.

[She isn't really sure whether this is an "I think" or an "I thought" situation here.]

[walkthedarkpath]

Your god is supposed to have created everything, girl. Which means he designed the demons too. Even Lucifer was the most shining angel until he betrayed his maker for favoring the humans. So no, demons do not count, unless it is the simpleton demons, feel free to smite those, they are more danger then good. Only there are no bottom feeders here. We are all sentient and some of us have souls. As I said, life is not black and white.

Also; fun little bit of information. Did you know that women are painted as the worst evil in your bible? More then anything else they are blamed for all.

[tucky]

He did'nt design them to be demons, they did that themselves.

How can they have souls? What are the page numbers for this?

[walkthedarkpath]

When you die and go to 'heaven' what do you become according to your religion? I have a point here, bare with it.

[tucky]

[She doesn't know.]

They do'nt tell you that for sure.

[walkthedarkpath]

Again, I am no christian, but I have heard many passersby yell about going to heaven and becoming angels. That COULD be wrong, I dont care enough to fact check, point being. A lot of people beleive that, so if human souls can become Angels, then who says Angels don't have souls?

Demons are fallen Angels and such. Some of us more.

[tucky]

So maybe they lose their souls. I do'nt know for sure, I have to ask Simon and Dillon about this.

[walkthedarkpath]

I have a soul, I know this even if you do not beleive it. What is for you, may not be in another world. Go ask your friends. Either way, I hope we are done, I have things to do.

[tucky]

Fine.

We're done.
