WHO Chris Halliwell
BROADCAST Accidental Fleet-wide video (thanks Atroma!!)
ACTION SS Huntress.
WHEN May 10th. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY.
WARNINGS don't play fetch with the soulball

[ The video is abrupt, the angle awkward. It cuts on to a comm laying on what appears to be a dining table in a fully upgraded kitchen. Chris is standing off-center, facing someone who is holding what appears to be a lightly-glowing orb in his hands.

This appears to be a very controversial thing, holding a glowy ball. ]

They gave you grandad?! It's a casino! Where the hell did they even get that?

Actually, where the hell do you even keep that now? Or... then. Back then? Whatever. How do you play slots to win your father's soul?

Rude doesn't stop a whole lot of people when they realize a demon's hanging around.

Yes, I've noticed manners have deteriorated on Earth since the 19th century. It's a shame, really.

[It's hard to tell if he's sassing or not]

The last place I was, everyone who got taken there got a room in this castle. A very nice room too, with no rent! But there were so many demons living there that I ended up moving into a house in the city just so I could sleep without my ability setting off.

[He shrugs] Seven years of that, you stop being surprised when you find out someone's a demon.

[misconceived]

Hey, everyone's got free speech now, right?

[ That's okay, Chris will sass back anyway. ]

Wait, seriously? That many demons?

[Okay, that gets a small laugh] ...That is the most American comeback you could have used.

[You Americans and your ~*~ FREEDOM ~*~ ]

Demons, half-demons, demon hosts, undead, vampires, dark magic users - [He sighs] It was more unusual to find someone who didn't have some sort of special power.

[misconceived]

I try.

[ Well, no, he doesn't, but hey. It works. ]

Geez... Guess it makes for a better show, anyway.

[ no Chris that's not what Paradisa was about, it was the losses ]

[save_the_souls]

Paradisa wasn't a show, Chris. That's here.

[misconceived]

[ Oh shut up ]

Then what was it?

video;

[save_the_souls]

From what we pieced together...it was a living castle that fed on people's emotions and souls.

video;

[misconceived]

... Oh, really?

video;

[save_the_souls]

Yes.

Despite the name, it wasn't a very nice place.

video;

[misconceived]

But hey, free room and board, right? What's a little soul-eating compared to that?

video;

[save_the_souls]

[He considers...]

Well, the food was better....

video;

[misconceived]

[ Scandal!! ]

How much better?

video;

[save_the_souls]

You could wish for any food you wanted, so long as it actually existed.

video forever;

[misconceived]

What, you mean no one could make up crazy new foods in the soul-eating, people-stealing magical castle?

video forever;

[save_the_souls]

Well you could certainly try! But you'd have to cook it yourself.

[misconceived]

It would probably turn out better than makeshift brownies here. We don't even have stuff to make brownies, how stupid is that?

[save_the_souls]

[He gives a little laugh]

We...have most of the fixings for brownies on the Blue Fish. Though we're missing the chocolate.

[misconceived]

I mean, there's the chocolate protein stuff but it doesn't really mix in well.

[ His knows this for a fact. ]

[save_the_souls]

Yeah. That stuff tastes like it was made by someone whose only heard of chocolate.

[misconceived]

Better than nothing, but only barely.

[ He's shaking his head. ]

But... I do think we have some chocolate left over. Real chocolate.

[save_the_souls]

Really?!

[a beat]

If you do, I'd be willing to trade a pack of cigarettes for it.

[ALLEN THIS IS NOT PRISON.]

[misconceived]

Uh... I don't think any of us on this ship smoke.

[save_the_souls]

...Damn.

[Worth a shot.]

[misconceived]

[ He laughs a bit. ]

You could always owe us a favor if you want it that bad.
