[blasphemous]

a devilish smile?

video;

[lacksgrace]

[ He's tired of texting. When he switches to video, he's not looking too hot. Exhausted, pale beneath his skin. He frowns at her. ]

No devil I've seen smiles like that. Words are weird, huh?

video → forever

[blasphemous]

[She frowns right back at him. YOU LOOK AWFUL!!!]

Maybe it's referring to the pointy horns they all think he has.

[lacksgrace]

Guess they can't get everything right. [ A pause, taking a second to flop back so he's looking up into the feed. ] Uh, thanks. For checking in or whatever.

[blasphemous]

Demon with a heart of gold or something I guess. [She shrugs.]

I could've checked in earlier, but I figured you were busy. Jumps are always good times to check in, though. All the slime and goop. Really makes you remember all the people you hope don't run into you during that time.

[lacksgrace]

Because you didn't wanna see me naked, or because you needed to make sure I was still here?

[blasphemous]

Someone is thinking everything is about them. [She's teasing. But seriously, she doesn't really need people looking at her when she's naked.]

I checked in because I felt like it. No nudity required.

[lacksgrace]

Well, hey. You've seen me now. [ He pauses though, eyes focused somewhere off to the side. ] But I'd really like it if you didn't tell anyone you had. Just in case.

[blasphemous]

As long as you don't start humming anything by Atlantic Starr, we're good on me keeping my mouth shut. Besides, who would I tell? [She doesn't know you that well.]

[lacksgrace]

Uh. I don't even know what that is. [ Wrong time, wrong universe. ] And I dunno. People might ask. That's what they do when they're bored.

[blasphemous]

I doubt that anyone even knows that I talk to you.

[lacksgrace]

[ He squints. ] Are you saying that like it's a good or bad thing?

[blasphemous]

I don't think it needs to be qualified. I don't generally gossip about who I have conversations about Hell with. [She doesn't really gossip... at all. Most of the people she communicates with she treats as straight lines, never expecting them to intersect.]

[lacksgrace]

Yeah, I guess. I kinda-- [ Lost it. Went a lot crazy. He pauses, biting at his lip and not entirely sure what he's even trying to say here. ] Let's just say I fucked up. More than fucked up. So if you wanna have more of those conversations, they'll have to wait.

[blasphemous]

[She frowns.]

Never said I did. [She wonders what he did, why he thinks he fucked up, but she's at that edge of stepping too far in and caring too much about another angel.]

I'm not gonna kid-glove you either; so, if you want to vent or whatever, knock yourself out, but I'm not going to ask. I'm sure you've already got people more than happy to do that.

[lacksgrace]

Not really. [ And wow, that hurts to say because it's mostly true. He doesn't have anyone anymore. He just keeps screwing it up or losing them or both. ] Most of 'em are gone now. Not sure telling you about my problems is gonna make everything right either.

[blasphemous]

It won't. [She'll be honest.]

Talking about things never fixes them. It helps you figure out what you need to actually do when you get off your ass and fix them, but if words fixed things I'm sure everything would be a lot easier. [People would actually believe other people instead of needing proof of their good behavior all the time.]

Either way, I came to check on you. You can take that however you want to, Bells. [IT IS SERIOUS. She did not Jingles him.]

[lacksgrace]

[ Okay, he'll bite. But it's kind of touch-and-go for a minute, mulling over what it is he wants to say. Finally, he settles on: ]

Have you ever loved someone? I don't mean, like. I dunno. Out of necessity or because you had to. Just, you know. Loved 'em for being who they are.
