dreamcrystals | [Open] ♡ 9th Dose ♡ Blow Out the Candles

Are you kidding? Have you seen me? Personally I think its an upgrade from when I was human. People pay big money to come see me~

Though if I were to change one thing, it would be my feet. I.. don't want to talk about 'em.

And maybe more fancy powers... so I don't feel so... powerless?

Your feet, huh? I won't pry, but that's certainly an interesting feature to be conscious of.

What other kind of powers would you want?

When your profession is your body, its the little things that matter. Only a special few have ever seen my feet~

Hmm... I'm not picky. Just something with a bit more power than my amazing reach and flexibility. Not sure how it is where you are but its the survival of the fittest down where I come from. I would rather not have to rely on no one.

[Or used.]

Oho~ I hope they realize just how lucky they are!

It can definitely feel that way where I'm from, depending on one's circumstances. But there's no shame in asking for help when necessary. Not even for someone as strong and independent as yourself~

I can count the number of people who have on one hand. And I got three fingers!

[The messages stop briefly as the spider stared at the page before him.]

It ain't that simple. You wouldn't understand unless ya lived it. Not to shock your entire world view or nothing but... Hell ain't pleasant. Even for someone who is 'strong and independent' as myself.

I didn't presume it was. Any place calling itself "Hell" is bound to be unpleasant at the very least.

That having been said, you're Hell's Number One Porn Star, isn't that right? Surely you have a fan or two that isn't wholly unpleasant and potentially willing to offer you help if you ever needed it.

You seem like a nice kid, Shortcake.

So I'm not going to get into all the nasty little details of my life. It ain't a nice story. Ya gotta buy my memoir for that. I...

[The messages stop for a but as his thought turns to that busy body Charlie and The Hotel. Heh... redemption. ]

I played with fire and I got burnt. Gotta live with it.

I'm in the business of ugly stories. But if you're not interested in sharing, I won't pry any further.

[Besides, Angel is clearly already serving a sentence in hell. There isn't any need for Heizou to get all the dirty details. It won't help anyone.]

Sorry, it seems we've gotten into a bit of a downer subject when birthdays are meant to be happy occasions.

Are you? Now you've peeked my interest. You got some messy assorted past too?

Eh... Like I said before, today is just like any other day. Even when I was alive my family wasn't the... celebrating type. Sorry, I got into an oversharing mood. I normally don't open up about myself like this. I blame being here for too long makin' me loose lipped.

For the rest you gotta take me out for drinks~

Something like that, maybe~ ♡

That's all right, my friend. I don't mind at all. Though hopefully here you also become more accustomed to people wanting to celebrate your birthday with you! And there's nothing wrong with that, you know~

Now you're just making me more curious.

Eh... It's odd enough that people want to talk to me here. When I first arrived I wasn't the most... Hm... Lets just say I was more of an annoying ass than I am right now.

Whoops~?

I can understand that. Have you made many friends here, then?

'Whoops' my perfectly sculpted ass.

[Pause. No. No he has not. Like... one? Two?... fuck. ~~Conceal don't feel.~~]

Never did have many 'friends' back where I'm from anyways. Most people are looking to get something out of ya.

Well, you're welcome to take me out for drinks if you're so curious!

[Ah. The pause tells Heizou a lot before Angel even keeps writing.]

Even here? What do you find people are often trying to get out of you in a dream world?

Heh, I see what you did there kid. When you turn the big 2-1 I'll think about it.

[Another longer pause. Er... no? Not really... People haven't from what he's noticed. But when he first got here, he wasn't taking any of this seriously and was his usual 'charming' self and kept people at arms length... Which didn't win him any favors. Now he's reaping what he sowed. He would rather die again to admit he was lonely.]

Look, let me save ya some time. I'm not a nice person. I'm a sinner from Hell. People don't want nothing to do with me.

[There's a pause on Heizou's end as well, but only because he's considering his words carefully.]

People are usually tempted into committing sins by their individual circumstances, so even sinners are victims in their own right. That doesn't automatically mean they aren't nice people. Now I don't claim to know what your circumstances are, and I'm certainly not excusing you for whatever wrongs you've committed, but clearly as a resident of Hell you're already paying for them. So maybe now that you're inside a dream, you can try to be a little nicer to yourself. Maybe give others a chance to prove you wrong about what you do or don't deserve.

Just a little food for thought~ ♡

[As the text flooded his page, Angel stared down in silence. The old him when he first arrived would have doubled down and intentionally just been his old trashy self. Try to convince himself that he was this... thing people saw him as. There was still a self destructive demon inside him that tried to crawl its way back to the surface but he managed to wrestle it to back into the shadows.

He was so glad this was over text and not in person cause damn... was his eyes leaking? The kid's words brought to mind someone he lost here who meant something special to him. Goddammit, he missed him...

Angel tried to dab away his tears with the back of his hand but one escaped to fall on the open page on his lap, smudging the ink. Fffff- hoped that didn't translate on the kid's page.]

That's a lot of food, kid. You trying to fatten me up? I gotta figure to watch.

So are ya volunteerin' your services, wise guy?

[Heizou takes the smudge as a positive sign that he's gotten through to him. He won't comment on it for the sake of Angel's pride, but it makes him smile just a little.]

Oops again? Curves are also attractive, you know~! ♡

That depends! Would you welcome my "services" if I offered them to you?

I haven't had any complaints about my body. I got curves in all the right places~

I need more information. What's your prices and the array of services you got?

Man alive, I've never thought to put a price tag on friendship services! I suppose you'd be exchanging personal information for someone to talk to and give advice. How does that sound to you?

You dive a hard barging. Alright, deal.

On a trial bases. Wanna sample the goods before I commit, ya know?

That sounds fine by me~

Would you like that trial to begin immediately?

No time like the present. I want to get my money's worth.

Consider this trial friendship begun, then! ♡

Contact me any time you like. I look forward to getting those drinks with you~
