I do, yes. Though it is not for money, admittedly. I do receive wages, but I give nearly all of it away, since I want for so little that I have no need for it, really.
FROM: michaelis.sebastian@cdc.org
I suppose that would make me sound especially loyal, now that I think on it.
no subject
but he just met the guy so maybe there are loyal people like that out there.
-- nah it's probably bullshit. ]
FROM: elric.edward@cdc.org
That's almost too good to be true.
FROM: elric.edward@cdc.org
Why do you serve him, then?
no subject
Well, it is true. I have little need for money...
FROM: michaelis.sebastian@cdc.org
I serve my young master because we have a contract. In the interest of being transparent, I would recommend you look over my file. That explains things more easily than I can in these messages.
[ there's not a way to condense soul eating into 200 characters... not for sebastian at least ]
1/3
This is the first time I've seen someone be so open with their file. You're welcome to look at mine too.
[ it is only fair
tho sebastian already has, hasn't he??? ]

And oh god. ]

IS HE READING
THIS CAN'T BE REAL ]
done
FROM: elric.edward@cdc.org
So ... a contract demon ...
FROM: elric.edward@cdc.org
-- who eats souls.
omg... sorry ed... LAUGHS
FROM: michaelis.sebastian@cdc.org
That is correct. You can see why it is a bit difficult to explain so succinctly without sounding callous.
what are you sebastian
If not for the fact that I've seen practically everything at this point, I would be calling bullshit. This is like the stuff of fiction.
[ He's really not sure if he should be wary of this person or not. On one hand, he eats souls -- on the other, the contract between both Sebastian and his master seems to be one of mutual consent. If this is ... really his diet, as the CDC's file so casually puts it, who is Ed to judge? He eats meat too, after all.
Uhhh. Well they definitely aren't going to be biffies, but he won't assume he's evil or anything. ]
FROM: elric.edward@cdc.org
Have you -- eaten one before?
one hell of a shithead
Many. I have existed for well over three thousand years, after all. That is a low estimation since humans did not record time in such long expanses before, though.
no subject
That long, huh ... [ before humanity even started recording and remembering. it's so hard to fathom. ]
FROM: elric.edward@cdc.org
Did you bind them all in contracts?
no subject
Only my masters. There is a price to be paid for me to come to the mortal realm at all, and it is not one made lightly. So those that call upon me are quite sure that they want my power.
no subject
Nothing good ever comes out of wanting something that badly.
FROM: elric.edward@cdc.org
You've probably seen all the different sides to us at this point -- What do you think of humanity?
no subject
Every side, I would guess.
FROM: michaelis.sebastian@cdc.org
I find humans very interesting. They are creatures unlike any other, since they are complex beings. With the nature of how I come to meet them, I tend to see the worst, which is intriguing.
FROM: michaelis.sebastian@cdc.org
However, their "good" qualities are just as interesting. Ambition, creativity, and curiosity... These are all qualities that are not something my kind possesses. At least, not in the same way.
