The Demonic Adviser

Jan 04, 2010 16:50

It has been quite a while since last time, so the Devil once more has a sign on her table in a 'central' booth, where it will be the most visible.

"Weird. That's the exact same sign outside of the Maury studios."

She got the present and isn't sure how to approach that conversation. Instead, she's just going to ease into it first.

"The worlds turn and spin and spill into each other." The Devil smiles brightly to Joan. "Hello, dearest, how are you? Please, take a seat."

"I'm alright." Well she's not ridiculous enough to think she can out-angst the Devil. Actually. She can't out-angst most of the patrons. It's almost an ironic sort of depression. Being depressed that you're not depressed enough. She's a horrible goth.

"You?" She pulled the chair our and sat down. "Those four words are used more often in offices. And never before a good situation."

7twistedwishes January 5 2010, 09:04:26 UTC

"Well, this little space here could be an office, if outside business were allowed. As it is, I am just dispelling boredom." The Devil seems extra chirpy and cheery today...

"Well if it were then I'd not be here. Because I'm not a sell-out." Joan's so deadpan that she can tell jokes and not even crack a smile. Even when they're horrible, horrible puns. "So, how's that working out for you?"

Oh dear. It's because God hates Joan, right? At least that's what her voicemail message says. Another joke of course. 'Cause she's not religious.

"I meet interesting people; even a few willing to cultivate friendship with me." Oh, The Devil gets a wicked sort of entertainment from horrible puns... "I like you, dear... you are one of the most interesting ones."

cloneofarc January 7 2010, 05:44:24 UTC

She arched an eyebrow, unsure what to make of that. "That's a pretty bold statement considering we've talked twice now. And the first time arguably didn't go that great."

7twistedwishes January 7 2010, 11:18:19 UTC

"I am... different." The Devil ponders how to explain. "I see people in a different light, and seek the unusual, the rare and the unexpected."

Joan crossed her arms. This was a weird conversation. Actually, most of the conversations in this bar were weird. "OK. Well that's probably most of the clientele that comes here." She paused before adding, "So, why'd you get me a gift?"

7twistedwishes January 9 2010, 10:56:44 UTC

"Because I wanted to." She grins to Joan. "Would you prefer the long, convoluted answer, or the short and simple one is enough?"

cloneofarc January 9 2010, 20:58:47 UTC

Joan waved her hand, "Go for the long, convoluted one." She's already sitting there. May as well go for it. Plus it's not like she minds listening. Unless she's thinking about something else. But that's neither here nor there.

"Good or not, by how humans define good, I enjoyed our previous conversation. When it came to a time when offering gifts is commonplace, I decided to gift you, knowing you would be unable to simply accept it, and would expect my gift to be some kind of trick or trap."

cloneofarc January 9 2010, 22:06:19 UTC

"It's not really all that common to give a present after talking to somebody once. Plus if you think about it, the whole concept of presents at the holidays is a little ridiculous. I mean, it's all the greeting card industry guilting you into buying over-priced chocolates and cards. If somebody really wanted something, they'd buy it themselves. And furthermore, when people buy you a gift--they expect one back. So really, they should've just bought what they wanted and spent time with you instead. But it's not about that? Is it? No. It never is. And honestly, what does the whole thing have to do with anything ( ... )

7twistedwishes January 9 2010, 22:07:42 UTC

And her answer? A soft giggle. "I am not common, my dear. I do not play by the rules, unless I am planning to make people expect me to do something."

cloneofarc January 10 2010, 04:04:50 UTC

Giggling isn't an answer!

"It's not like there's rules of gift-giving. Not enforced ones anyways. There's implied rules."

7twistedwishes January 10 2010, 05:28:17 UTC

It is when you are pushing people's buttons! "And those are rules I can break, can't I?"

"Anyway, it is a gift, my dear... no strings attached, no tricks but making you think there is a trick."
