DONE

[willandaway]

Oh.

[he understands nothing!!]

I see. Do you need to eat them to survive, or. . .?

[inparfait]

Duh.

[ now they're both equally confused help. ]

[willandaway]

[wheezes!!]

. . . is it just me, or are you acting a little differently now?

[inparfait]

[ his face is still :nyaf: ]

I got bored of playing that game so I'm done with it. This is the real me and if you even start to bring her up, I'll throw you out of this wagon.

[ it is a very real threat because the amount of times he almost lost it in their last real conversation was too damn high. ]

[willandaway]

[I'M]

[HE WASN'T EVEN THINKING ABOUT IT! resisting the urge to bury his face in his hands and let out a deep, pained sigh]

"Playing that game. . . ?"

Were you just pretending?

[inparfait]

Obviously! It's what demons do.

[willandaway]

[he sees. . .]

Are you really afraid of sleeping alone, then? Or was that just a ploy to pick on me?

[inparfait]

I'm not afraid of anything. But I am an incubus so sleeping with people is fun!

[ he didn't even give will any nightmares praise him. ]

[willandaway]

I see. . .

[so the drama caused last week between him and Anna was totally on purpose. . .]

What did you gain by pretending in the first place?

[inparfait]

[ he laughs at this, because this is the first time someone's really asked him this question without a degree of assumption. ]

A lot of people will say they'll be forgiving and understanding to everyone and that everyone deserves happiness, blah, blah. But in practice? People aren't like that!

I'm interested in someone who actually means that even if that someone is a liar, a murderer, a criminal, whatever.

[willandaway]

[it helps that Will is aware he truly does not understand Mimami. can't make assumptions if you don't get a person!!]

So you want to see who is still kind to you even after you've revealed to them your true self.

[it's kind of manipulative, Will thinks. . . but Minami is a self-proclaimed demon from hell, so it isn't surprising that he does not have the greatest faith in others]

[inparfait]

Ergh, don't say it like that. It doesn't need to be towards me.

[ sorry he's so confusing will. ]

[willandaway]

[he is destined to not understand]

[a pause. he considers his next question carefully]

Were you always a demon? Or were you a person beforehand?

[inparfait]

People don't turn into demons but they can become all kinds of other things in Hell. I've always been like this.

[ he says with some manner of pride. ]

[willandaway]

[a pause]

And are you happy? In hell?

[inparfait]

What kind of question is that? No one's happy in Hell! It's boring and the stupid Hell's Organization tries to corral us like dogs.

[willandaway]

The only things I've heard about he’ll are the preachings of the Sanctist church. . . and those are suspect by default.

[lol Sanctism, lol religion]

So I was curious. I wanted to know what it was really like.

[he sounds weirdly genuine about this, too]

[inparfait]

Hell is for demons and mortals who have sinned beyond redemption. It's not supposed to be a good time.

[ not that he really finds it bad but it's a box, a cage. ]

[willandaway]

[he is getting that feeling. the "in a box, in a cage" feeling]

Is that why you decided to come here?

[inparfait]

Obviously.

[ well, that's part of it. ]

[willandaway]

[mulling this over for a bit, before he moves on to his next question]

Who is Seiya?

[the person Minami mentioned the last time they spoke. the one Will reminded him of]

[inparfait]

[ yuck, seiya. ]

A failed exorcist and the Grand Warden of Hell.

[willandaway]

[GRAND WARDEN OF HELL. . .]

Is he your boss?

[inparfait]

...you really think I'd take orders from anyone?

[ plz! ]

No, he's the leader of the organization that tries to keep us there.

[willandaway]

[and Minami is an escapee!! thus why he is being hunted, Will surmises]

You said I reminded you of him, right?

[a beat]

Why?
