[samantha_grey]

An old, brick edifice stands in front of the burnt-down ruins of a home in the hillside. Mountains rear up in all directions, covered in lush, green vegetation. Nobody comes this way anymore, but you have the sense that anything placed in the mailbox attached to this old structure will be found by someone, the only living person for whom this place still has any meaning.

Great. Figures you'd suck at the thing that could help you the most, right?

[samantha_grey]

Considering that my magic's probably boosted by being a half-demon, and I'm wanting to hunt my demonic father...

You really surprised?

[zodiacal]

Actually, no. It's the oldest cliche in the book. If it happens in movies, why not in reality?

[HER TONE IS P MUCH DRIPPING IN SARCASM AND WOW DANG IT. hello my name is eve samson and my life is one bad tvtropes page.......]

[samantha_grey]

Yeah, see... my dad likes to style himself as the duke and patron of thieves, but he's not the most subtle of creatures. Who kidnaps their daughter in her dreams, steals their soul so she can resurrect her and sends a whole team of demons named after the seven deadly sins just to fuck with her?

No, seriously... who the fuck does that? I still can't figure out what the hell he's really going to accomplish with this crap, but my life's a collection of bad cliches.

[zodiacal]

You have the sins, too. Great. That's just-- great. Why don't we throw some Dante's Inferno motifs in there and make it a party? [TROPESSSSSS!!!!] Afterwards, we can just move to a faraway island somewhere and pretend this shit never happened.

[samantha_grey]

...I did mention the bleeding trees, didn't I? You know, for the suicides. Some of them, apparently, thought the Inferno was funny as hell, so they took some of the motifs.

No, seriously, a lot of those tropes are pretty much there for a reason in my world. Hell is exactly that ironic, predictable and unpleasant... only Satan's not wedged in ice and they carve their own little kingdoms down there.

[zodiacal]

More motifs. Bleeding trees you can find anywhere, you know? [no you... can't.]

Sounds gross. Remind me to never book a reservation there if I ever get sent back. I'd rather stick with the ghosts than be with a bunch of assholes who think they're ironic.

[samantha_grey]

Well... your hell's not my hell. As much as we annoy each other, I don't entirely like the idea that when this is all done we might not see each other again.

...

even if some days I really want to throttle you.

[expy]

Please, it was just a joke. I'm not sure I even have a hell. [since, u kno, the succubi are partying it up in empyreal...] But, aw. I'm flattered you care so much.

[samantha_grey]

Don't get too flattered. I'm told I've got suspect taste in friends, Eve. Heh.

[zodiacal]

Shut it. I'm the exception to the rule.

[samantha_grey]

Hah, are you now? How many rules are you the exception to, I wonder?

[expy]

As many rules as I want, duh.

[samantha_grey]

You are such a cheater, you know that? Heh. Well, I guess that's all that you really needed to know on the rest. If you want the gory details sometime, you can ask, but ... [shrug] eh. You get the idea.

[zodiacal]

[And, a shrug back.]

General idea's good. Know too much and it gets kind of boring, y'know?

[samantha_grey]

Boring... heh, you really are an odd duck sometimes, you know that Eve?

[expy]

I'm going to pretend you didn't just call me an [air quotes] "old duck".

[samantha_grey]

Awww, and here I was about to offer you some Quackers.

[She was fully aware of how bad that was. If the grin was any indication, she didn't care.]

[zodiacal]

[SHE GROANS IN UTTER AGONY. Except it's not agony, it's just. No.]

That's it. I'm going back outside to brave the cold again.

[samantha_grey]

Oh sit down. No point freezing your ass off for my under-developed sense of humor. You're already doing the world a public service by putting up with my insane ass anyway. Might as well wrack up some brownie points in terms of karma.

Gotta be good for something.

[expy]

Oh, please, I don't need karma. I make my own luck. [Whoa nice snooty little scoff there, Eve.]

Serve me another soda and I'll consider saving my ass for humanity's sake.

[samantha_grey]

[She was pouring alright, though she raised her eyebrow at her and shook her head.]

The things you put up with for the sake of humanity, mmm?

[zodiacal]

I know. Have you seen the bags I'm getting under my eyes? I'm going to look old before I'm 20.

[...except there are no bags under her eyes. Her complexion is the best it's been in a while. SHE'S EXAGGERATING.]

[samantha_grey]

The horror. I'll turn you into a barren spinster yet, you know. You're finally catching onto my nefarious plans.

[zodiacal]

How about I kick you out of your own house before that happens? Sounds like a good plan, right?
