[Oh, voice now. Neat]

'Cus I like tales. [There's more to it, of course, but that is a part of it]

I guess I could tell you one demon I met. But be warned, there's some things I don't remember well.

[voice]

[makeitquick]

Hey, you're the one tellin'. All good for me.

Back home, it's common for demons to attempt to make contracts with the living. That's the way they get souls. Of course, people shouldn't do business with them, because demons doesn't believe in fair play.

Unfortunately, some do end up making deals. The client we had accidentally inherited a contract like that, and was in danger because of it.

[He's starting to remember why he rarely talks about this.]

Hey, do you have demons back home?

[voice]

[makeitquick]

Yeah, we got a fair few of 'em.

[Contracts though, huh...? Hm.]

[Deflecting time. :D]

Were they good or bad?

[voice]

[makeitquick]

Bad. Sorta by definition.

[A sigh can be heard over the journal system.]

I'm sorry to hear that.

[voice]

[makeitquick]

Why? Sounds like yours ain't much better.

[voice]

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

I guess. We had some stories about demons that weren't too bad, though. But most of the ones I met weren't good.

[voice]

[makeitquick]

What sorta ones aren't too bad?

[voice]

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

Well, I grew up with stories about demons that cried and wished they were human.

I don't know why the demons I deal with are so different from that.

[voice]

[makeitquick]

Prob 'cus a lot of them don't wanna be human.

Do you think it might be a personality thing? I know people who want power above all, and they're completely different from the people who wants others to be happy. Demons might be the same way.

[voice]

[makeitquick]

[...] Maybe. Nice thought, anyway.

[voice]

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

That doesn't explain why some of them are preying on humans, though.

[voice]

[makeitquick]

Well they're... demons, c'mon. They aren't humans, so it's not skew to think they think of 'em for less
