Voice Testing - thinking about Animus

[dont_eat_the_candy]

Okay... Let me get this straight... You pulled me out of my world into this one, so I could go to a place where my world might be obliterated. That about sum this up?

[Pulls out his shotgun and aims at his mun.]

You sound like a witch to me.

[one_winged_demon]

As much as I'd love to see you try that, it won't do you any good.

Besides these muns only WISH they could do magic.

[dont_eat_the_candy]

Why not? This gun hasn't failed me yet.

If we can't harm them, want are they then?

[one_winged_demon]

It's not about what they are, it's where they are and where we are.

They are just regular humans, but they're in another universe from us. Where they're from we're just works of fiction. You are from some action movie and I'm from a comic on the internet.

Where we are right now is more or less inside of their heads, we're just characters to them mainly. So even if you managed to find a way to get to them and kill them, there is no guarantee that you wouldn't go down with them.

[dont_eat_the_candy]

How is that not a witch? And what's movie? Is it some kind of spell?

[one_winged_demon]

[It would of paid for Marctavious to have watched Hansel's movie.]

No, it's like a play. And since you're probably going to ask a comic is a type of book with a lot more drawings than words.

They're not witches because they're not using magic. At least not actively. Like I said they're still under the impression we're just pieces of fiction. They just think they're writing stories.

[dont_eat_the_candy]

I've heard of witches that cast spells like that, but Gretel and I haven't faced one yet. Gretel says they're somewhere in the east. We're making our way there though.

[Sounds like witchcraft, but he was learning to try opening his mind since he met Mina about witches. That didn't mean he liked it...]

Messing with reality is witchcraft where I'm from, but if you say they aren't actively doing it, I guess that makes things more complicated. Where's Gretel when I need her...?

[one_winged_demon]

Well look at it this way, there are evil magic users here too. You don't have to stop your work because of the situation.

[dont_eat_the_candy]

Evil and black arts are my trade. Didn't choose the life, but it's all Gretel and I are good at.

But... uh... can they really send us to other worlds like this tower I heard about?

[one_winged_demon]

Yeah they can. It's kind of the basis for this place. The writers get together and decide to put us in a setting and go back and forth to see how we interact there.

They take us from different worlds too. You and I for example aren't from the same world, we're not even the same species.

[dont_eat_the_candy]

Just fucking great... We just wrapped up a job, too. Ben better not lay a hand on Gretel while I'm not there...!

[His hand is still ready to ready his shotgun again, if necessary...]

I noticed. What are you exactly? Should I even be talking to you?

[one_winged_demon]

Well a small blessing is time doesn't move while we're away. When we're sent back it will be like we never left. So if someone messes with Gretel you will be there to break their hand.

[He sounded amused.]

I'm a creature called an Abian. We're not demonic or unholy if that's what you're asking.

[dont_eat_the_candy]

Ben might have another bullet in his shoulder if I catch him, but Gretel might hurt him before I get the chance.

[He smirked at the thought of his sister schooling the new kid on boundaries. She wasn't someone to mess with, not with those White Witch skills she was working on...]

Trolls aren't either, but they can still be a pain in the ass. What exactly is an Abian?

[one_winged_demon]

We're creatures that feed off off of certain things from humans. Keep in mind unless we're talking Abians that eat blood or flesh we don't actually take anything away.

So for example an Abian could be fed off happiness. They don't take people's happiness away, they're fed when somebody is happy. So an Abian who feeds off that could easily be fed just by being a jester or something.

[dont_eat_the_candy]

Having two sides to things makes everything complicated.

[He rubs the back of his neck, thinking about all the new policies Gretel was making them follow. Checking for a witch was more detailed. They had to turn to Ben for research more often. Investigations were more involved... He hears his watch go off, gaping as he reached for his thigh. There was his syringe, pulling it out to stab his leg. He felt the anxiety fade almost instantly.]

Gotta change up the game, so we don't thin out the few allies we have.

[one_winged_demon]

But it's the way of the world.

[He quirked a brow,]

What was that all about?

[dont_eat_the_candy]

It leaves room for hesitation, and that's a great way to give a witch the upper hand, especially a grand witch.

Oh that? I got sick when I was a kid. It's called the Sugar Sickness. A friend I used to know helped me understand it better. She never got to tell me other ways than my medicine to treat it though.

[one_winged_demon]

The problem is the world just isn't that easy. As hard as it makes your job, the world is complex and there's a lot you have to go through.

There's good witches and bad witch hunters.

I mean it would be quite easy for a witch hunter to just kill people for entertainment if they get a taste for it.

[dont_eat_the_candy]

There aren't many, but I know about the White Witches... now.

[That was a touchy subject for him, so he moved on, quick.]

A bad witch hunter is a dead one. Witches that practice the dark arts don't care who you are. They kill for fun most of the time. That's why Gretel and I fend for ourselves. We don't lean on anyone if we can help it. They might be dead at the end of the day, you know? We can only depend on each other, and I guess Edward pulls his own weight. Ben though... ugh...
