[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?

[enfangs]

Nah, all of this was in the human realm or whatever you want to call it. The outside world's... something different? Don't really know how it works.

[probe]

Oh. Hm. Well! The mortal place, huh? There's not too much of that up there. Just, uh, you know! Mortals!

Sometimes, they get cursed. But it's mostly just them.

[enfangs]

... Yeah, your world seriously sounds weird.

[probe]

It isn't so bad! You get use to it. At least... it isn't so bad when you're always by the entrance!
