Nice upgrade. 👍

[ … Yup. That's it. His plain-looking rock turned into an ~iStone~, and that's all Maine has to say. ]

Why do you keep saying things like that?

[counterblows]

Because it reads like bullshit.

[eudaimonikos]

Now, now, that's no way to talk about other peoples' realities

[counterblows]

Other peoples' realities can be and are bullshit. Regularly.

[eudaimonikos]

That's very true.

[counterblows]

I rest my case.

[eudaimonikos]

I know a guy who got sent to Hell for being too indecisive.

[counterblows]

That applies how?

[eudaimonikos]

Our afterlife system is bullshit.

[counterblows]

Any afterlife system promises to be.

[eudaimonikos]

I'm sure I can work out something better. Haven't spent a lot of time on that yet, though, first things first.

[counterblows]

Your job is the afterlife.

[eudaimonikos]

That makes me sound a lot more important than I ever was.

Technically I'm more of an advocate for humanity right now. Not a real job, I just made it up.

[counterblows]

Technically you don't have a job here, since as far as I can tell no one's really employed anywhere.

[eudaimonikos]

I guess technically. But a demon's job is their entire existence - I don't think I could've handled being off the clock, if I hadn't already quit.

[counterblows]

I don't see Satan around here anywhere to reprimand you.

[eudaimonikos]

Oh, my boss's name was Shawn.

[counterblows]

Doesn't sound very demonic to me.

[eudaimonikos]

We don't go by things like Beelzebub, we're not edgy middle-schoolers.

[counterblows]

You say that, but one of the biggest weapons manufacturing companies in my world is called Charon Industries, and you can probably guess what that said about them as people.

[eudaimonikos]

Boy, that's embarrassing! Such a human thing to do.

[counterblows]

I take it you're not, then. A demon, you said?

[eudaimonikos]

Yeah
