Watching your friends run off to look busy, you remain in your deck chair and watch as <span class="mu-g">CLEARWATER</span> draws ever closer like a very big… <span class="mu-i">shark</span>. On <span class="mu-i">fire</span>.
“<span class="mu-r">I didn’t expect this world to be so similar to my own…</span>” Remarks your newest inner demon’s disembodied voice. “<span class="mu-r">I was under the assumption that humans DISliked having their homes burn.</span>”
Yea, well, you shrug as you lament the lack of a six-pack next to your seat, you live in California–stuff burning down lost its flair ages ago.
Not that this is normal, of course–you can thank that dumbass <span class="mu-r">TIM</span> for all this.
“<span class="mu-r">Right…</span>” The demon remarks with interest, “<span class="mu-r">The LICH? Sounds like a handful to me!</span>”
“Yea, he and his goons have been a real hoot.” Ly scoffs as you idly wiggle your toes off the end of the lounge chair. “Well… some of ‘em have been pretty helpful, actually.”
Yep, you sigh as you contemplate throwing something overboard, that’s what you’re counting on, at least…
“<span class="mu-r">Well if it makes you feel any better, I’m rooting for ya’, big sis!</span>” Chirps the literal hellspawn renting out your head. “<span class="mu-r">I’m crossing my tail hoping you don’t die!</span>”
Yea, thanks, you groan, an-wait, does she have a <span class="mu-i">tail</span>?
“<span class="mu-r">I mean… I CAN… sometimes.</span>”
Huh. Say, you say with renewed interest in your new tenant, what’s her name, anyways? You’re not sure if ‘<span class="mu-r">DEMON STAN</span>’ has a lot of marketing appeal.
“<span class="mu-r">Ooh, well I don’t really have one!</span>” Replies the voice. “<span class="mu-r">I was so hellbent on tracking you down that I never really came up with one!</span>”
Heh, ‘<span class="mu-i">hellbent</span>’. But didn’t she have, like, a demon mommy and daddy, or something? How’s that work?
“<span class="mu-r">Oh, well yea…</span>” The demon replies, “<span class="mu-r">But demon parents don’t really stick around, you know? And they DID give me a name, kinda, but I’m pretty sure it would make your eyes bleed uncontrollably if I told you. Demon names are pretty powerful like that!</span>”
So you’ve heard, you say with a solemn nod, so you’ve heaaaarrrdd… so listen, you segue as you adjust your seat a little bit, how about you give her a <span class="mu-s">NEW</span> name? A cool one!
“Uh oh,” Ly interjects, “I know where <span class="mu-i">dis’</span> is goin…”
Yea, you growl, over the side of the boat if he doesn’t <span class="mu-s">SHUT UP!</span>
>CONTD.
