[The image is black and white, and a little fuzzy. It's actually scrolling vertically the way an old tube television would, which is stupid because this is a cell phone. But the Demon is too lazy to actually hold the phone and record something. So instead he is quite literally inside the phone and this is the result.

The Demon comes on screen against a backdrop of white, because he's currently standing in nothingness. He has a book in his hands and it's not on fire. Yet.]

As your resident bartender without a bar, I found this book. And I am way too lazy to make all you assholes mixed drinks with little umbrellas, but if someone wants it have at. I can make you all the ingredients and you can sip something pink and frilly while waiting for the next batshit crazy thing to happen.

[He is such a helper.]

Comments

[ She's fuming, and she aims a punch right on his wound before retorting. ]

You can't tell me what to do, Ser White-Eyes. And swords are meant to be stuck in people. You know nothing.

[notjustinthemirror]

[Ow. Ow. Fuck ow. He staggers back, clamping a hand to the wound. A hand that's already missing a finger.]

You're the one who bent your precious sword. Maybe you're the one who knows nothing.

[He should really just pull out one of his guns and shoot her, but even amidst all the pain he is highly amused at this little ball of hatred and swords. Though not amused enough to resist retaliating. A few rocks and various debris lift up from nearby and swirl around him a few times before flying out at her. ]

[whichend]

[ Little victories! She hasn't cut off the head, but she's cut off the finger. That's progress. ]

Do you even know what swords are for? They're for slaying --

[ And then it hits her. Both literally and figuratively. Scrambling for cover from the rest of the rocks, she realizes what Ser White-Eyes really is. He's no man at all. ]

You're a demon.

[notjustinthemirror]

[Yeah that's right. Go hide so he can keep bleeding out all over the place in peace.]

You're very clever. What gave it away?

And don't throw holy water on me. I don't like being wet.

[Pulling his hand away from his neck he flicks goopy black tar on the ground. Wow that does not feel good. He's half tempted to teleport away, but that's sort of like admitting defeat and he's not willing to do that yet.]

[ Arya grins. She's still angry, but now she's proud that she figured out who white-eyes really is. Not that it was hard, of course. Anyone can do it. ]

Well, there's the not-blood. And the fact that your body doesn't slice open like a normal human's. Swords are for stabbing people, but you're not a person, and since you're evil, you're obviously a demon.

[ Duh. ]

[notjustinthemirror]

Who said I'm evil?

Which is a good thing, since my head would be on the ground somewhere right now.

[He pulls his hand away from his neck to look at the goop he's leaking.]

Does that mean we're done having fun stabby time?

[whichend]

I said so, stupid. Are you pretending otherwise.

[ She rocks back and forth, and taunts: ]

And who says I'm not evil? Who are we to judge. I've killed, and I imagine you have, too.

[ It's funny. Here, with the Demon, she doesn't feel embarrassed or ashamed about her murders. ]

[notjustinthemirror]

Good for you.

[Said in a tone that indicates he couldn't care less.]

I don't pretend. But generally speaking evil people don't kill other evil things. Honor among thieves you know.

[whichend]

I do.

[ She says, coldly. She is not a thief. She is someone on a mission. She will kill whoever it takes to get her revenge, especially evil people. Evil people shouldn't be alive, anyway. All they do is cause the innocent to suffer. ]

[notjustinthemirror]

Evil begets evil you know.

[Not that he cares really, he just wants her to attack other people and keep his head attached to his body. ]

Much as I want to stay here and listen to you tell me all about your quest to rid evil from the world or whatever fucking thing you're doing, I'm going to go and do anything that isn't that.
