-just smiles back- Yeah.
Geez. I oddly had it worse when I was married when it came to that. I mean- technically I didn't choose to be married anyway, my 'husband' knew my full-name.
So I have no fuckin' sympathy for him, or sorrow over him being dead.
His fault for trusting a human missionary enough to tell him his full name.
Because then that missionary turned out to be the whole- "BEGONE DEMON" deal, and told him to kill himself.

-Takes a bite of his food, trying to disguise his bashfulness-
You are his friend.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Oh yeah- I've always been an alcoholic. The marriage didn't change that at all. -is notably completely sober-
... I know that sounds bad to human ears, but for me- drunkenness isn't that bad, and alcohol doesn't affect my health one bit.
To start with It's all- "Oh I'm losing control of my inhibitions! I can't get a handle on things!" but then I reach this plateau of being in control, and it just being a pleasant buzz in the back of my mind keeping me from being grumpy.
-she puts it down and starts getting her own food out to start eating-
But yeah- this is really nice!

Well- human stuff in general is. It's only good when I'm already drunk- I can't drink it to get drunk.
I've been here long enough that I actually got sober, because I ran out of my own supply.
500 years of drunkenness led to one hell of a hangover.
If you ever become a half-demon like Shales- I do not recommend doing that. A demon that gets drunk should either stop really quick, or never get sober.

I mean- we don't have as many seas in the underworld as you do on Earth but... well- at least ones that are made of water. There's at least one that's on fire. It's a good and free source of heating. Lovely to bathe in too, actually- been there before- but-
Yeah. Being sober's been weird for me. But I almost don't want to start again because it's usually the opening stages of being drunk where I tell someone my full-name. I'd probably have to do it in private.
1.5 imperial gallons of tea were consumed during the writing of this postNo, you're right. This was a good idea.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Oh yeah, that too.
-looks at the toad in her hand- I should probably get this guy turned back into a Deadman.
... But... -sighs- I always did prefer good things.
I just don't know what I can do for him.
I mean- I don't have to keep repeating myself when I say the Deadman Games are terrible, do I?
Mmm. Nice time alone together. Just us- this tree- the food.
Good time to talk and bond, I think.
... Bond as in- get to know each other. Just in case there's more cultural clashing.

1.5 imperial gallons of tea were consumed during the writing of this postWhere should we start?
-Sits back against the tree-
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Uhh... I dunno.
I've- only really done this once before, and I knew her pretty well already so this didn't really come up...
-rubs the back of her head a little, and leans against the metal tree slightly-
... What do you like doing? Like... what interests you?
1.5 imperial gallons of tea were consumed during the writing of this postHah... hoo boy yeah you don't want me to start on that topic. I've spent my life learning that nobody else really wants to talk about starfighters as much as I do.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Oh yeah, you know, racing games, sport games, first person shooters...
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Mmm... he'll just have to be a toad for a bit longer then.
Unfortunately.
I'd be able to do it now if I could make a deal with him, but Shales has informed me that deals aren't done telepathically usually... Something about minds being able to change too much compared to words.
Unreliable contract.
And well I can't make a contract with something that can't talk. I'd also have to give him a cost.
-nods a little bit, still smiling- I meant other hobbies not genres, Hal.
Like- okay. My interests are comics, movies, tv shows, drawing, anime, writing and...
I've got a lot, to be honest.
But like- I do also like roleplaying games. Not as much as the other stuff- but I roleplay on a regular basis.

From what I remember of him all those years ago when he tried to hit on me?
Yeah, probably.
