Voice || Alone in a Box

Well this is fucking boring.

If this keeps going I'm willing to take one for the team, fill this coffin with alcohol and set it ablaze. Shoot this shit into the roof of the cave via explosion.

All I ask is you honor my memory by punching Fear in the face.

Hope springs eternal, so we might both get rescued. Thanks though.

Though I'm wondering where you'll get the alcohol from, because if I had a flask right now you can bet I'd be drunk.

[Amos has yet to actually meet the Alcohol Demon.]

[notjustinthemirror]

Oh we haven't met then.

I make it. And if I could actually drink it I'd be passed out right now.

[amos_moses]

....you make alcohol?

I have to say, that's a first. I'm guessing you don't mean you brew moonshine as a hobby.

[notjustinthemirror]

No. I make it. Out of nothing.

So I have lots to spare for a giant inferno.

[amos_moses]

So you're either magic or not precisely human...?

Funny how many people keep telling me they have no non-humans in their world, but I keep meeting them here.

[notjustinthemirror]

Demon.

That's because they've just never noticed them and here they have to deal with them daily. People don't like to see what they can't understand, easier to pretend it doesn't exist.

[Amos doesn't even blink over that: demons are part and parcel of the supernatural melting pot that is his world. His best friend is,in fact, possessed by a demon, a nekomata. As long as this particular demon doesn't run around eating people for fun, Amos has no problem with him.]

A demon who makes alcohol. That is somehow very fitting.

Very true. ignorance is bliss. Sadly, it also gets you killed by whatever large toothy critter you're not acknowleging is real.

People don't like the ugly truths in the world, but they're out there, allright.

[notjustinthemirror]

Getting them to realize that before they get themselves killed is the hard part.

It wasn't my choice. If it was up to me I'd like to be the demon of making things explode, but we don't always get what we want, do we?

[amos_moses]

Dude, you can make your own accelerant, so technically sure, you're the demon of making things explode. You just need a lighter, that's all.

[notjustinthemirror]

I like the way you think.

Now if only I'd survive my first really giant explosion...

[amos_moses]

Well, we might get rescued yet. So maybe you could hold off on the inferno for a bit?

[notjustinthemirror]

I'm giving it another day. Or until I get bored enough that dying seems like a better alternative.

[amos_moses]

Alright then. If we get to meet while not buried, I'll bet we can find some things to set on fire.

[His best friend is a bit of a pyromaniac. Amos has never been one to discourage destruction of property.]

[notjustinthemirror]

I'm holding you to that.

[Oh he likes you. Destruction of property bros.]
