[a sigh]

I refuse to let that be my fate. I don't care how hopeless it seems, I'm going to create my own path and not let that be me.

If only it wasn't easier said than done.

[Allen is in the library, sitting at a table with several books around him. Most of them are on the subject of different types of demons in various worlds, possessions and types of exorcisms. He seems very focused, paging and reading through one as Timcanpy sits on his shoulder, peering down at it. When he reads a certain passage, his face makes a disgusted expression]

All right, that's...rather...disgusting...

[He blinks a couple times. Angels brooding, is that some sort of weird American saying?]

I'm not brooding...certainly not like an angel...

[a snort]

Angel's a person. About as clueless as you sometimes~ But he's a good guy.

What's wrong?

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

[a slight huff at being called clueless but he lets it slide]

Just...a lot of things going on. But I'll be fine.

[fiveby-five.livejournal.com]

Here? Like what?

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

Well...for one, one of my best friends and neighbor is on a loss where he got split into five and each one is...annoying? And strange.

[fiveby-five.livejournal.com]

Lock 'em up and ignore 'em for a week?

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

[flat look]

He's extremely loud when there's only one of him. And they might either break out or kill each other...which would be really...well, probably bad.

[fiveby-five.livejournal.com]

Then I guess you gotta suck it up and deal.

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

I am...I know it's just a loss.

[fiveby-five.livejournal.com]

Either you got a low tolerance for noise or you're giving me bullshit about what's eaten you.

[...Sinks in his chair, maybe she'll lose interest ._. ]

[she drops into a seat next to him and kicks up her feet, waitin' -- damn, she is rocking this patience thing tonight, brownie points to the max]

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

[Looks over....She's not going away >_> ]

[fiveby-five.livejournal.com]

[Nope, and she noms down on the last of her muffin, but it's cool, she has gummies, too]

Spill.

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

[MUST YOU EAT IN FRONT OF HIM? T_T ]

It's not important, really.

[fiveby-five.livejournal.com]

[uh huh, pops a gummy in her mouth; raises her eyebrows as she waves one in front of him, like I'll give you one if you bark like a good dog]

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

...You want me to talk for a candy? [..Maybe eying it]

[fiveby-five.livejournal.com]

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

[a pause]

Half the bag, at least.

[fiveby-five.livejournal.com]

[considers it; she does have another one]

A third.

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

Two-Fifths.

I can always go get my own bag.

[fiveby-five.livejournal.com]

[she shrugs]

Whatever. You get the goods after you talk.

[if it's that easy, why trade at all, brat?]

Last night...I ran into someone, my secret Santa from Christmas. I had never met them in person before. It turns out she's some sort of..demon, in a human host and it just...[he shakes his head] It pisses me off.

[fiveby-five.livejournal.com]

What, she evil?

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

She says she isn't and that her partner insists that she uses dead bodies instead of live ones.

But...with Akuma, they don't have a choice to wear someone's skin. They have no free will and they're forced to do it.

With demons like that it almost feels like they...go shopping for a nice body to wear. She tried to tell me that she takes good care of the body, like it's some sort of [a frown] rental suit. Never mind about the human being or the soul that used to own that body, they don't seem to really matter.

[a pause]

It just reminded me how much I don't want to end up like that.
