[eudaimonikos]

Nobody's freaked out yet
I'm not interested in pretending to be a regular human, that would just be a vast web of lies

[counterblows]

You still apparently have to get used to being one, it sounds like. Between the eating and sleeping.

[eudaimonikos]

Those aren't the only things that make up a human!
They're usually pretty emphatic about that

[counterblows]

They're right.
Is there more to being a demon than heaven and hell?

[eudaimonikos]

I don't know


We really don't do anything outside of our jobs
No hobbies, no friendships, no leisure time
Don't even have any personal space, everywhere you go is The Office
Everything I have that isn't about that is because of the humans

It's still mostly about heaven and hell, though
Just from a different angle

[counterblows]

Sounds like arriving here was quite the adjustment.

[eudaimonikos]

For everyone, I'm sure

[counterblows]

Sure.
But some more than others.

[eudaimonikos]

What are you looking for here, man?

[counterblows]

Just making conversation on our brand new phones.

[Gathering intel, more like.]

[eudaimonikos]

Oh, sure, that sounds real.

I'm not going to do anything ~*~ evil ~*~, okay?

[counterblows]

You realize that now one of these islands is going to make you do something evil, and I'm going to hold you to that.

[eudaimonikos]

Oh come on, people aren't morally responsible for things the islands make them do. That's basic.

[counterblows]

Tell that to literally everyone's collective guilty conscience.

[eudaimonikos]

Sure
I'm not saying I wouldn't feel guilty
But I wouldn't go around telling other people to blame themselves

[counterblows]

You don't need to. People do enough of that on their own.

[eudaimonikos]

And you do, too?

[counterblows]

That depends on the context.

[eudaimonikos]

You mean if it happens to me?

I'm doing my best, okay? I'm a being with free will just like any human, and I am entirely capable of not being evil when that free will isn't being infringed upon!

[He'd love to call this whole thing really racist, and it might still be, but he can't go around telling people that demons are fine, actually. That's dangerous advice! So he has nowhere to put the sort of weird bad way this makes him feel.]

[counterblows]

No one's made a point of calling you evil, so I can believe that. But I'm not the type of person you'd have to convince.

[eudaimonikos]

So what's with this whole thing?

[You sure jumped on the word "demon" fast. Michael wonders if he knows about Ardyn. Well, it's not his business to go around gossiping about the guy.]

[counterblows]

[Wash knows enough about Ardyn to knows that he doesn't want to deal with Ardyn when he's in a bad mood, because Wash was definitely reduced to meat jelly a couple times back on Maati because of some poorly timed conflicts.]

Like I said. Just making conversation.
