[There's a Darth Maul cosplayer tall and annoyed demon pacing back and forth, playing almost nervously with his hands like there's a ring that should be there but isn't.]

Another reality show? I thought the last one was bad enough.

[He stops his pacing to look up at the ceiling, seeming to direct his anger at that.]

Leo! Leo Wyatt! Orb your whitelighter ass down here and do something useful for once!

[He waits a moment before he throws up his hands in frustration and goes back to pacing.]

Great, fine. Alright, you've got me here. Point me at whoever or whatever you want me to kill so we can get this over with.

[ OMG IT'S A DEMONDAD!!!!!!!!!!!! ]

Dad!

[devilsinthedetails]

[omg it's a sonthing. He is totally looking for the source of sonthing and when he finds him, he's grinning widely, showing all of his pointed teeth.]

Kit! It's good to see you here.

...What are you doing here in the first place? You didn't sign up for this, did you?

[misconceived]

[ Sonthing is totally okay with pointed teeth because Belthazor dad is the best dad. He ain't even bovvered. ]

What? No! Of course I didn't. Did you?

[devilsinthedetails]

[Chris is probably the only person who sees Belthazor and doesn't freak out, let's be real here.]

No, why would I do that? I only did Witch Wars to find out who was after Wyatt.

[misconceived]

[ Belthazor sees Belthazor and doesn't freak out. Unless he does, in which case that is a sad existence. No wonder your life sucks, Cole. ]

Shit, that's right. Did you get them? Please tell me you stopped those demons, Dad.

[devilsinthedetails]

[Hey now, Belthazor doesn't count because it's his face. Besides, he probably thinks it's devilishly handsome.]

I never got the chance. I was arguing with you and then this. [He opens his arms to gesture around him.] And before you think I've forgotten what we were talking about, you're grounded.

[misconceived]

[ He's about to make a point about how that's not possible because it's been almost two weeks since then unless there's even more time travel involved, but he stops short. ]

What? You can't do that.

[devilsinthedetails]

[...Chris, out of all the things to claim as not possible, you pick time discrepancies?]

Last I checked, I was still your dad, so yeah, I can and I am.

[misconceived]

[ It's been a weird few weeks. Give him a break! ]

No way. What did I even do?!

[devilsinthedetails]

[His life is already weird. That's not an excuse.]

It's more what you didn't do. You forgot to mention just how vulnerable you are in your human form.

[misconceived]

[ shut up dad it totally is ]

That is not a grounding-worthy offense. I heal just fine, and it's never been an issue before!

[Oh. A demon. Michael's favorite.

The quality of the feed isn't great, but there's a smiling face on the comm within moments of Cole's entrance]

Sorry to say, there's been no sign of mortal combat so far. Maybe they're working up to it.

[heresyandlace]

[wow, that's a wild face you have there, buddy. and there is a much prettier one smirking from some nearby network station, eyebrows lazily raised.]

A veteran to this sort of thing, are you?

...I hate to tell you, though-- I doubt that murder is the key to ending this one.

[devilsinthedetails]

[He squints at the comm like he can't believe what Michael's saying. Because he has no concept of reality tv shows outside of the demonic one he took part in.]

Really? Then what are we supposed to do, sit around and wait? Because that's not my style.

[devilsinthedetails]

[Excuse you, his face is totally pretty. As a human.]

You could say that. I've done another one before, but I didn't exactly get to finish it.

...Then what are we supposed to do instead? Doesn't sound like it'd be very entertaining otherwise.

[At first Shirley doesn't see anything that stands out to her in Cole's speech and the guy's looks are a little intimidating, so normally she probably wouldn't have answered. But once she's seen his conversation with Chris...]

Chris said you were his father, didn't he? It's good to meet you. I'm Shirley, one of the people on his crew.

[devilsinthedetails]

[Thankfully, Cole's much nicer than he looks.]

Yeah, he did. I'm Cole Turner and it's a pleasure to meet you, Shirley.

[devilsinthedetails]

[omg no it's not]

It is when you don't tell me when we get involved in a dangerous situation like that, Christopher! [...oh, he's definitely not pleased by this.] You put not only yourself but me into danger by not telling me your faults so we can work around them.

[misconceived]

[ you did not just call him Christopher ]

Excuse me? My faults? You can't just—

[ He stops. Completely cuts off, then crosses his arms and closes himself off. ]

No. We're not doing this. This whole network thing is public and I'm not having this conversation with you where everyone is going to see it.

[ladiesss]

[...a quiet voice comes in over audio. guess who.]

Dude, did you just get grounded by your demon dad?

[misconceived]

No! No, he is not grounding me.

[ Yes he is, Chris. Accept it. ]

... he is my dad, though. There a problem with that?

[devilsinthedetails]

[yeah he totally did. deal with it.]

Would you rather I call it a weakness because that's exactly what it is.

[Well, if Chris doesn't want to talk over this, then there's always another option.]

Then we can talk in person instead.

[misconceived]

That's not what it is. I am not—

[ He has to stop himself again. Weakness is a sore spot, whether it be a physical failing or a mental one or one pertaining to his alignment. ]

Yeah? Give it a try.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Oh, already?

[man, forget whatever boring network broadcasts were going on, this looks like where he needs to put his attention. there's a tall, pale, dark-haired guy on the other end of the video feed, sitting up in his captain's chair.]

You look like fun.

[parkinglotangel]

You're gonna have to get used to it, then. Mingle, explore, drink...whatever gets you through the day.

I'd suggest skipping the killing part.
