'You like Earth?' Maia's face is full of 'WTF'. 'It's staffed by complete losers!' And she doesn't mean humans--or Time Lords, even--so she doesn't mean to be insulting. This, for Maia, is unusual.
'Mind you,' she admits, face shifting back into its usual gorgeous-and-bored expression. 'I agree with you on the Gryffindor answer.'
"Yes, it is." He couldn't agree more. "It's nice to have a little change of staff once in a while." Like, for example, replacing all of the leaders of Earth with him. "They can't very well run themselves, can they? And...ah yes, well, sometimes a good shag is all anyone really needs. Doesn't exactly help anyone but themselves."
Maia nods almost wistfully. Just once, can they have Hell on Earth that the Agency won't mess up?
'They try. It's quite sweet, really. Then when it all goes to pot, they just run around blaming everybody but themselves!' The demon gives a tinkling laugh. 'The same can be said for sex, too.'
"I know! Isn't it hilarious? And a bit sad. It happens far too often. What they really need is someone to run them who knows what he--or she--is doing. Nobody likes being controlled and dominated over, but if they just want to run around like headless chickens and destroy themselves, they don't leave very much choice."
'Sometimes I prefer that,' she says lazily. 'I don't want to run the world. I'd get bored. But when they get all panicky and sad and angry, it's entertaining.'
Maia pouts, then. 'You'll hate it here. Only a few people are like that--the rest are uncommonly hard to bother.'
"Ruler over things can be all kinds of fun! It's that power-rush, you know. But I understand what you mean. All the yelling and screaming and crying and war and protests and corrupt government..." He sighs contentedly.
"Oh, I've known people like that. I'm sure I'll find some way of entertaining myself."

'Call me when you find a way,' Maia grins. 'Maia--Slytherin. Where I'm voting you.
'And trust me when I say my bosses wouldn't like that one bit.' If she weren't a trainee, Maia wouldn't give a flying fuck what her bosses think. However, they can still hurt her pretty well.

"I'm so very good at doing things other people wouldn't like. I appreciate the vote."
Well, no, he had no idea what this voting stuff was, but hey! After running for Prime Minister and all of that 'Vote Saxon' business, he already likes the sound of it.
