I don't know. Like the dummy? Sure. Happily. [ quiet again, heels of his palms over his eyes. ] ... I'm a logical person, but I don't think I could separate it, either.
It's Hell. I didn't expect great things, but this is just worse somehow.
Although I do wonder if we overestimate the investment Satan has in what we're doing -- no one said people had to die to secure a place at the party, as far as I know.
Haven't heard anything so far. Just the original intel from Bucky about the lone poster with the twenty people VIP list, which was probably a plant to sow discord anyways. I didn't talk to Four, since I figured she would only tell me to go fuck myself, and Lavi was just - a pawn.
[ kicking one foot against the seat in front of him testily. ]
I don't really know what's worse. Are we stuck in an uncaring God scenario, but with Satan, or the great malevolent machinator he's made out to be?

no subject
Yeah. Yeah, it did that to me, too. Earlier, not when we saw it as a group. [ at least it's gone now, he guesses. but at what cost. ]
no subject
Would you have been able to kill it, looking like that?

A puppet? Sure. But I don't think I could look something that looked like -- [ he sighs. ] I couldn't kill it, looking the way it did when I saw it.

So, go figure Hell uses something like that against people that didn't intend to hurt anyone. [ hate it, actually. loathe it with every fiber. ]
