You SAY it's not important, but that's a lot more than a doodle.

Still, Happy Birthday!

Well once you're passed your expiration date, counting your "birthdays" is kinda a moot point.

But hey, I'll take it though.

"Past expiration date" as in your dead or immortal?

Dead as a door nail, babe.

Though I am 'living' out my eternal punishment waaaay down south.

Aaah, I think I gotcha.

[He's pretty calm about all this.]

So in your world, are you like a ghost or undead?

Neither. I'm a sinner demon~

We have all sorts of ugly freaks in Pride, but we don't got ghosts or ghoulies down here. Just us and all the different Hellborn natives from the Seven Rings.

A demon, huh? Now it makes sense. But you guys just stick to the underworld or whatever, huh? Never go up topside?

Its not like we got a choice.

I'm a sinner, so I was once linving topside. But I played shitty games and won a shitty prize. If sinners could just leave, it wouldn't be much of a punishment.

I don’t know much about the other Rings. What I do know is that Hellborns can go between Rings so I'm sure can travel upstairs.

I see, that's an interesting system you have in your world. For us you can turn into a daemon while still alive and if you're killed that's that. It's possible for a soul to be reborn, but not sure if that's true for daemons.

Wouldn't be too surprised if you couldn't without being purified somehow first.

Wait. You're a demon? Heh, then well hello there fellow brother~

Though how you're speakin' makes me think you're not a Hellborn. Like if we die in Hell, thats it for us too.

Sorta...

Like you turn into this black gooey tar crap and get absorbed into the environment. Not sure what happens after, like if you're still conscious but just a set dressin' for all eternity. Which just sounds awful, frankly.

Heh, always fun to meet the different kinds of demons around.

But that doesn't sound too dissimilar. If our body isn't eaten by another daemon, we just kind of fade and disappear back into malevolence when we die.

Yeah, its interesting meetin' others like me. Well... nonhumans anyway. I feel that they can relate more to me than the normies, ya know?

You eat your dead? HA! You and Alastor could swap recipes. But when you disappear, are you aware of what's going on around ya or... is it just nothin'?

Heh, other daemons do that. You can absorb their power, so it's not unusual for daemons to go on a killing spree to get stronger. Not my kind of thing, though, I prefer earning strength with my own skills.

But guess it depends on how conscious you are and what the "killing" blow is. Can't really say I've asked around about it, though, just going off from what I've observed.

How noble of you~ If thats hoe it worked back where I come from, I think it would be more of a blood bath than it already is...

Eh, yeah. I'mnkt certain how double dyin' works in Hell either. I have a feelin' its not as simple as we just stop existin'. Don't think us sinners would get off that easy.

So you're just set to live a life of eternal damnation, huh. No chance of redemption?

Would you even want to?

[There's that word again. Angel couldn't help but flinch at bit at the sight of it.]

Not that I have seen and I have been dead and buried for about 80 years.

I don't think I'm worth savin'.

[.....

BELATED REALIZATION—]

Sorry, this isn't a great topic, especially on your birthday.

Why does everyone keep sayin' that?

Even when I was alive it was just a day. My fam wasn't the celebrating type.

Ugh. I don’t know what's gotten into me lately. Usually don't go spilling the beans about myself.

[Would rather die again to admit that he was feeling lonely.]

We've had a lot of parties and celebrations lately, maybe you just wanted to join in on it.

[Definitely not it. Even Rokurou can take a guess, but he won't say—write it.]

So what would be your ideal birthday party? Lot of people? Cake? Alcohol?

[Angel had to stop himself from writing something crass as his kneejerk reaction. You know what... He wasn't given it much thought...]

Honestly?

I do like to party but... I think my ideal birthday is sharing a few drinks with friends. But don't got many of those here.

[Damn.... who were his friends? Al? Eh... they were roomie sure, but friends? The jury was still out. Mei for sure, but she wasn't of drinking age.]

Oh yeah?

Don't know if I'd be good friend material for you, but I can guarantee I'd be a great drinking partner.

Heh, I'll be the judge of that.

Alright tough guy, lets see ya put your money where your mouth is. If you can drink me under the table then I'd be impressed.

You're on. Just tell me where and when and I'll be there.

Well if ya free tonight the only real bar I know around here is this little cabaret joint in town. Lets say 7? I'm hard to miss~

Cabaret, huh? Haven't been, but sounds interesting. I'm pretty free, so that's fine with me.
