[this time, they stick one sleeve into the other sleeve to "dig" around. another pillow comes out, and they offer it to white. very soft and comfy.

he feels kind of drowsy when he lies on them.]

Oh, you know! Um... Hm. N...? Darn. Oh! Norse!

I think?

[enfangs]

[phew, no more pillow in the face. he takes it.]

Ehhhhh... sounds right, probably. [hell if he knows, the demans were too busy worshiping goat god?] You from Earth, then?

[probe]

[leave the goat alone]

Me? No, no, no. Nothing like that! Um, not exactly. Earth is for the mortals.

[enfangs]

[look sometimes a goat gets a religion set up around him that he never asked for]

So you're... a god? Angel? [what other un-earthly beings has he met recently...] You live in the external world or whatever they call it?

[probe]

[white, don't just meet gods and angels, hello.]

Something like that! A god, I mean. Um--well, it's a separate world from mortals, yeah! I, uh, live where I work!

[enfangs]

[sometimes it happens? sometimes you also put satan in timeout and then flip him off when he asks you to work for him.]

Does that make all of this... this [he makes a gesture at their surroundings] part of your work, or is this more of a side gig?

[probe]

[hmmm. they glance up, and then back down at white.]

It's definitely something on the side! I sure hope I didn't get fired from my other job for being here to help with this one!

That would be... wow.

[enfangs]

... I didn't know gods even could be fired.

[probe]

Oh, yeah. If they aren't doing their job? Master will definitely kick you right out! He needs everything to be on a schedule.

[enfangs]

Wow. Sounds like a slave driver.

[probe]

He has a big place to run is all. Kind of scary, but not completely a bad guy! Mostly.

Say, White, you don't work for anyone like that, huh?

[enfangs]

[...]

Not anymore.

[probe]

Wow, did you get fired?!

[enfangs]

[he pauses, adjusting his pillows.]

... More like he and everyone else got fired.

[probe]

Whoa...! Even the master was fired?! That's pretty amazing! You all must have done something really crazy!

Did someone have an extremely forbidden exchange?!

[enfangs]

Uh, what? Forbidden exchange?

[probe]

Yeah! A totally illegal, illicit exchange of some kind! Enough to get them fired.

[enfangs]

... Man, you really don't know much about us, do you?

[probe]

We have a chance! But... I don't know! It seemed better to let you guys tell me just like the people do at work when they come right on through.

So I didn't learn everything.

[enfangs]

... Well, when I say everyone got fired, I mean most of us were killed because were kiiiiind of the bad guys.

[probe]

....Ohhhh!

Wow, you guys, like, just died? You know, maybe if you killed them first! At least you didn't stand in lava and melt.

And, hey, you're still alive!

[enfangs]

Hey, it's not like we didn't try to kill 'em. [sort of. maybe white can't actually say he did.] I got lucky.

[lucky enough that lessa saw something worth saving in him, anyway. he's well aware that he should've burned to death with the rest of the demans that day.]

Stand in lava, though...?

[probe]

Oh, yeah. It happens all the time! More than you'd think, considering standing in lava really won't help you live any longer!

There's also monsters... [they are counting on their fingers] ...cultists... the violent, lost souls of the dead... skeletons, witches, a wheel of flame, oh and vermin, too!

[enfangs]

I... Why the fuck is anyone standing in lava?

[????????]

What kind of weirdass world do you come from?

[maybe white can't talk as a pseudo-demon/vampire who eats people's souls but??????]

[probe]

Beats me!

[sometimes, people just stand in lava without realizing.]

That's just how it is where I'm from. Don't worry. Those things don't bother anyone where I work. It's only if you go outside.

If you all mostly died, isn't your outside also pretty bad, too?
