[If you happen to be down near the lake today, you may have noticed some interesting events taking place.

These interesting events are now culminating in Joshua using his shiny new machine gun to turn Firo into a human beehive. Over and over again. The fun never stops when you're killing an immortal!]

Crap! Did that guy take the Pledge?

[haberdashing]

[in one piece again!] The what?

[boomtoday]

The pledge of immortality.

[haberdashing]

It was an elixir, actually.

[boomtoday]

On the plus side, that means there's no nasty demon that you have some sort of pact with running around here. On the downside, there's a creep who actually dabbled in immortality research.

[haberdashing]

[...l-lol]

Maiza isn't a creep.

[boomtoday]

You do know how you have to test your immortality solution, right?

[haberdashing]

[SOUNDS SMARTER THAN HE NORMALLY DOES ALL OF A SUDDEN.] They studied alchemy, and were granted the potion by something they named as a demon, but wasn't actually. Maiza never had to test it, though there was someone else who did, many years later, while trying to recreate it.

[boomtoday]

[YEAH I am noticing that]

Someone who would willingly make a deal with a demon still doesn't strike you as a little skeevy? That other guy totally classifies as a creep, though. There's a reason why that research is forbidden in my world.

[haberdashing]

The Demon himself told the alchemists that's not actually what he was.

[normal tone again] And yes, he was a creep. But he got what he deserved, in the end.
Anyway, I didn't have anything to do with the original elixir.

[boomtoday]

[B-but my demonology piiing] Really? What was he then?

I'm glad he got what was coming to him, then.

[haberdashing]

I don't know.

...Mm.

[boomtoday]

Anyway, the name's Lina. Lina Inverse.

[haberdashing]

Firo Prochainezo.

[boomtoday]

So Firo, why the horror sideshow act? Just that bored?

[haberdashing]

A fight that got a little out of hand. ... Or a lot out of hand, depending on which end of the machine gun you're on.
