How many of you got demons back home? Or met 'em here? Tell me about 'em.

Then... hope it was worth it.

[The problem is, Jack just doesn't know. His blind spot concerning Angelica was shattered years ago. He left her on the island because he knew she would seek revenge on him for letting her father die with a burdened, evil soul. He did such a very good job of corrupting her sweetness years before that now it's almost impossible to see the real girl through all that muddy water.]

Aye. It was---either way.

[voice]

[makeitquick]

[...Hah]

Chance you wanna tell me more 'bout his magic?

[voice]

[all7seas]

Have you not heard of voodoo, lass? The black and polluted arts? Spirit possession? Unpleasant, it is, and a most effective form of torture.

[voice]

[makeitquick]

Kinda from a world where magic's been dead for two cen. I'm picking up on a late study.

[...] Posess- something like taking someone's... self?

[voice]

[all7seas]

Enslaving the spirit. Trapping it in the body, whilst another power controls said body. Shamanism. Voodoo. Magical manipulation.

[voice]

[makeitquick]

...Disgusting. That's just... completely skew. Toy.

[voice]

[all7seas]

Aye. "Toy." Couldn't say it much better than that, I imagine.

[voice]

[makeitquick]

[Can't tell if mocking or not. She decides to go with not]

Toy's a good word for it.

[voice]

[all7seas]

["Not" would be the correct answer in this case.]

Luckily there does not seem to be a great deal of that sort of magic here, but one can't be too careful.

[There were plenty of other kinds of magic, of course, that were equally troublesome.]

[voice]

[makeitquick]

Don't know a lot about magic, actually. But... lucky, yeah.

[voice]

[all7seas]

Do you know a great deal about demons?

[voice]

[makeitquick]

Not as much as I should, 'guess. Know how to stake a lurk and big snakes die when you punch'em in the brain.

[voice]

[all7seas]

.........Big snakes, eh? Don't very much like those sorts of things, me. Good to know that, I suppose.

[voice]

[makeitquick]

Not even spinning you - brains. Totally a weak spot.

[voice]

[all7seas]

I'm going to venture out on a limb and simply hope to NEVER ENCOUNTER ONE, darling.

[voice]

[makeitquick]

What, can't handle it?

[voice]

[all7seas]

Ugh, no! Who'd want to?!

[voice]

[makeitquick]

That's fair. [Smirk]
