... Sounds gruesome. Even the demons I've faced don't go that far.

[bookpapers]

Yeah? What kind of demons have you faced?

[hardrocklife]

All kinds. Lesser demons -- the fireproof horned type. Brass demons, blow demons...

Then there are the higher-ranking pure demons -- the Mazoku. They're on a whole other level. They exist primarily on the astral plane, and can't be killed by physical means.

[he gives a little whistle]

You've definitely got way more of a variety. And you know how to handle all of them?

[hardrocklife]

For the most part.

But seeing as I'm here now, it looks like I bit off more than I could chew.

[bookpapers]

Still, you've got more experience than the rest of us.

What do you think of these demons?

[hardrocklife]

... Not sure what to think just yet.

They let me hold on to my sword, so it probably wouldn't work on them.

[bookpapers]

...Maybe they want ya to use it on others? Like in that 'sows discord' kinda way.

[hardrocklife]

[He glances down at the sword sheathed at his hip... and frowning, takes another drink of that coffee.]

[bookpapers]

If it's that, then at least you won't be alone. I've seen a couple of people with weapons on their profiles.

[squints]

I guess that could be a bad thing.

[he doesn't sound too worried]

[hardrocklife]

Had enough of that kind of thing in life, frankly.

[Tiredly.]

... I'm sure we can get hurt, but I have to wonder if death has any meaning in the land of the dead.

[bookpapers]

Same. I'm stuck between 'we can't die, or 'even if we can, it's not like we're gonna miss this place'.

[hardrocklife]

Death of the soul... I suppose we would simply disappear.

[bookpapers]

...You think they'd be that nice to us?

[sounds nice tho, very comfy]

[hardrocklife]

Depends on how committed they are to the whole torment thing...

[bookpapers]

[...]

I'm sensing like... maybe some commitment... Apparently they've already got a bunch of files on us.

[but they haven't read them yet, is implied...]

[hardrocklife]

Hm...

[He frowns at that.]

Guess I shouldn't be surprised. Maybe they plan on getting personal as things progress...

[Some custom-order torment as opposed to the store-bought kind.]

[stop lavi hates this he's withering]

...Feels weird to have a waiting period in hell.
