[The feed shows Castle laying on his bed, looking half-asleep or maybe just bored. He could probably be doing something productive, something that could benefit the war effort in some way, but would rather ask the population at large a question.]

Hey, Asgard - What's your favorite book?

[He's not doing research of any kind, just purely curious. But if anyone asks, this is somehow related to the Welcoming Committee. Don't worry, he'll make it work.]

Count yourself lucky. They're dicks. [She snorted.] ... Let me guess though, you're turning into a curious little kitten about the half succubus, aren't you?

Video

[writeswrongs]

No, I'd imagine that demons aren't very nice. Have you met Satan here?

Half succubus too? You have a very interesting lineage.

Re: Video

[samantha_grey]

Well, the horns come from something. [She shrugged.] He was an incubus. Other kinds of demons don't mate with humans .... often.

And I've met both Satans. I prefer Morningstar over the one we have now, but he was a lot less unhinged. I'm not sure what to think of this one.

Video

[writeswrongs]

[He nods.] That makes sense. Well, that's a fantastic thing to inherit, I'm sure.

He's.. kind of amusing. I think admitting that means I'm going to hell though.

[samantha_grey]

Being a predator that feeds on sex? [She snorted.] I hope you're being sarcastic. I'd rather be a regular person.

I'm not sure the word I'd use for Satan, at least this one, is amusing. Personally, I wouldn't worry about hell that much with that one. They're definitely not from my world.

Video

[writeswrongs]

Yes, that was sarcastic.

[Seriously, who would want that as their ancestry?]

He's surprisingly normal, except for the appearance obviously. I wouldn't have expected Satan to be so up on human culture.

Re: Video

[samantha_grey]

Well, he's the head of a group of creatures that live to tempt and confuse people, depending upon your mythology. Being up on human culture comes with the territory.

Video

[writeswrongs]

... True.

[Bless Castle, he doesn't have a lot of experience with demons. Try no experience, actually.]

Either way, I'm not particularly religious, so he doesn't strike me as someone I need to be very afraid of.

Video

[samantha_grey]

I wouldn't call him harmless. I wouldn't ever call Lucifer harmless... but I don't think he's dangerous right now.

Video

[writeswrongs]

His powers seem pretty limited here.

Although I'm sure they did give him a god-power, so he's got that.

Regeneration, if I remember right. Not exactly world shattering, but it has its uses. If you're in a pinch, the ability to heal yourself lets you get away with all kinds of crap.

Do you think we need to be worried about him?

Re: video; private

[samantha_grey]

You're asking a half-demon with daddy issues if she thinks you should worry about Satan. [She sighed.] In principle? Yes. Right now? I don't know of anything specific.

video; private

[writeswrongs]

Yes, I was referring to more immediate danger rather than your personal feelings about him.

Honestly he's never presented anything to me other than indifference, but, as you said - Satan.

Re: video; private

[samantha_grey]

That's basically the size of it. He hasn't done anything, but I'll never let my guard down around him because of what he is. It's a good policy with him.

The nakedness is kind of weird. And the boobs.

Video; private

[samantha_grey]

Yes and no. I mean, it freaks me out too, and I always prefer he... she... it...whatever. Clothed. That's the point. But angels and demons are weird. They weren't really designed to be like humans. Succubi and incubi are kind of an insult to the whole idea of child-bearing. Normally, they're spirits and they don't really care about gender the way humans do.

At least where I came from anyway.

[writeswrongs]

It makes sense. I'll take your word for it. You've got a lot more experience in this area than I do.

Re: Video; private

[samantha_grey]

consider that a good thing. Curiosity aside, most of them are a serious pain in the ass on good days.

Video; private

[writeswrongs]

Believe me, I'm glad I don't have experience. It's been enough to deal with murderers and other psychos.

Re: Video; private

[samantha_grey]

Those can be a real treat at times, but most of them are just human so it's a different sort of evil. Most of them. You probably wouldn't be that surprised what people are capable of if you've dealt with that sort.

Video; private

[writeswrongs]

Yes, that's true. They're mortal.

[He thinks about 3XK, the killer with a personal vendetta against him whom he'd thrown off a bridge into the Hudson. No body was ever found, and as any good storyteller knows, if there's no body, death isn't a guarantee.]

Re: Video; private

[samantha_grey]

Anything can die. It's more... most humans I've ever met had limited vision when it came to death, unless they were truly insane. Those... were special, in a not good way.

Video; private

[writeswrongs]

We fear death. It's hard to imagine what it would be like if we didn't have that fear.

Re: Video; private

[samantha_grey]

Which is why insane people can be as dangerous as they are at times. But we know this. [She grunted.] How'd we get on this? Weren't we talking about books?
