I have reason to believe that someone I am trying to find is located somewhere around here. -she opens the folder and pulls out a picture showing it to Julie-

Have you seen anyone who looks like this?

I dunno. -shrugs-

I live in the underworld, so...

I think being drunk helps me. Or keeps me satiated with things. I think I'd be angry with some things otherwise, y'know? -grins a little and chuckles-

I'm a bit of a happy drunk.

I see you're going more for the principles.

I haven't taught you any of the techniques yet, after all.

Though those are some good kicks.

Uh...

-Leans forward and squints at the picture-

I haven't seen him myself, but... I know he's been here.

Mm. Makes sense, even if it's not something I've ever had to do myself.

It sounds nice to have a little bit, I'll admit. 'S just not a good idea after a breakup, though. I don't wanna do any dumb shit.

Oh yeah- I watch earth a lot. Alcohol after break-ups in the presence of lots of other people is never a good idea.

Regret is not a good addition to hangovers. -chuckles a little-

I don't worry about doing dumb things. I gamble anyways.

...I'm not sure if it was recently or where he'd be. But- yeah. You're probably in the right place.

Well, gambling's not so bad. There're worse things to do when you're shitfaced.

Well, with the consideration that it's an entire style and art of fighting- there's quite a lot of techniques.

Grabs, punches, kicks.

And the use of a walking stick- which could easily be applied in principle to other weapons.

-nods- Mm.

I mean- gambling's my job anyways.

Is' the power plays and all that... betting on whether a hero or a villain will win. Betting about stuff that happens on earth. Sometimes intervening a little bit.

Based upon consulting and our bets. Keep the game interesting.

Though for me- I always bet hero, and I like underdogs too.

That's kind of an odd thing for demons to get up to, I think. I would've thought they'd want to go up there and change how things are going.

Some do- we like to spice things up sometimes.

Even me. I have made deals before in order to give a certain underdogs superpowers and such.

It's all to keep the game going- keep a balance. 'Cause- I mean- it'd be boring if everything went shit, OR if everything went well.

That'd be cheating your own bets, wouldn't it? 'S not really a game of chance if you're nudging things along in a particular direction.

I-interesting… I'll focus on t-the kicks, but I'll t-try to use the w-walking cane a bit (Fairymon focuses energy into her right hand and a lavender walking cane pops into her right hand. Guess Goku and Vegeta's training helped a lot, though.)

Maybe, but... he might not have a choice. People don't usually know how to- get back.

Hm. -nods-

-he wasn't quite expecting to be a lecturer-

-but he's happy being laid-back for now-

Not if there's people betting against you- nudging things back.

Plus- it's more-or-less, kinda expected that there'll be cheating.

Besides- sometimes you can nudge things however much you want and not get the result you want because the world decides you don't get it.

One of my favorites- I tried to give his mother a nice guy, and upstanding kind of guy, to help with upbringing and such- 'cause I betted that I could make this really strong hero from this random woman in Bulgaria.

Who does his mother end up conceiving him with? A Mobster.

Which- haaaarrhghhh... makes it a very difficult bet- because I don't know which way he'll flop... he's teetering on the line on a conscience level it looks like...

He says he's a villain- but he feeds information to heroes so it's like... hrrhghh... How do you call it- and all... And he'll have to fully commit to one side eventually...

-nods- Yeah- and that is aggravating...

Hell- that favorite is why I'm here. 'Cause he disappeared off over here, and I want to be able to see whether he makes a decision.

I'm also following up in case he potentially gets married around here- but that's a separate bet from the main bet.

Apparently he is still as single as he was when he left, but I can wait on that bet.

Mm. Sounds kinda stressful, to be honest.

What do you bet with, anyway? Money, power, status, something else?

...How are you going to make him go back to work? Are you his boss?

It's basically all of the above... well- except status. That only happens at the lower levels. When you're as high as I am- you learn to stop betting things with your status.

-nods- Sometimes it's if you lose a bet- you can't interfere with a certain other bet, or allow a certain other event to happen.

Like say- the outcome of a war on earth.

Of course, I don't like losing the bets at that point... Like- especially if there's a clear villainous side.

That sounds like it's... I dunno what the word is. Infinitely recursive? Betting on bets about bets.

But you said he... didn't want to work. Would he- care enough to go back?

Yeah- it gets like that. Easier to keep track of when drunk- because things just look simpler when your mind's all fuzzy...

Though I get this point- where... like- I drink so much, it almost loops back around to being somewhat sober...

It's weird- probably not possible for anyone else.
