03 | I apologize

[alephbet]

Characters: Aleph, you, and special guest Mara!
Setting: Any floor of the tower. Any.
Format: Starting with action brackets, will match anything.
Summary: Aleph lets his demons out and about sometimes. This includes Mara.
Warnings: Mara is a giant green penis in a chariot.

[During your stay in the tower, while going about your daily business, you run into this. It nods its... head... in acknowledgement of your presence.

What do you do.]

Comments

[alephbet]

I do.

[grislytragedian]

[Another pause.]

To clarify, we are talking about the actual fallen angel here and you aren't pulling my leg because you just happen to know some dude named Lucifer, right?

[alephbet]

Yes. I do personally know the king of demons.

[grislytragedian]

So...does that make you a demon as well?

[If you know the king of demons and you have a bunch of demon buddies...]

[alephbet]

[Head shake.] Sorry. Just a human.

[grislytragedian]

Oh no, don't apologize that's not a bad thing. I just kind of wondered considering you have a bunch of otherwordly pals.

[alephbet]

It sort of happens on my world. Demons are pretty commonplace.

[grislytragedian]

Really? Is there a reason for that?

[alephbet]

They're just there, I guess.

[grislytragedian]

Huh. Well that must make things interesting, to say the least. What's your name, by the way. You told me about all your demons, but I think we skipped actual introductions ourselves...

[The downside to a first meeting being over text...inability to recognize each other when you meet in person. Oops.]

[alephbet]

Sorry. I'm Aleph.

[Handshake?]

[grislytragedian]

Ah! [A small chuckle.] Now I have a face to put with the name!

[Handshake indeed!]

I'm John Lalonde, we spoke on my first day here.

[alephbet]

I hope I was helpful.

[grislytragedian]

Most definitely. Honestly, you were the most helpful of anybody that I spoke with.

[alephbet]

Glad to hear it. It's kind of my job to help people out.
