What happened to cocytus? You got circles of hell? Purple skies like the dusk?

[ ................ ]

Can't you change anything about that?

[bxkautx]

Nnnot so fast. There are probably infinite different versions and iterations of Hell. Maybe ones like you're picturing. But I doubt they all follow the same rules.

[refractures]

Interesting! That makes sense--just one Hell out of many others...

[ He slightly tilts his head, taking another bite out of his pastry. ]

If you could make changes about yours, what would you do?

[bxkautx]

I... can make changes, it's just that they can't all be for me. There's all the people living there and all, but there are also all of the demons, so...

[refractures]

Oh, that's surprisingly thoughtful.

[ Here he was, thinking Satan titles could do anything they wanted ]

[bxkautx]

What's the point of being a ruler if you're not making things better for everyone?

[refractures]

Power.

[ Said like tired adult. ]

[bxkautx]

Well, the power's not bad.

[refractures]

To only have the title as a figurehead would be pretty depressing.

[ He tilts his head. ]

But is there anything you like doing without it attached? Like a "normal" person.

[bxkautx]

There are things I used to like. But I don't have much time anymore.

You're an adult, you probably know how that is?

[refractures]

You can still like them despite not having time! And maybe you just have time for it now, like maybe reading a book or growing your collection of something. Your age might be questionable, but it's nice to enjoy life when you can, y'know?

[bxkautx]

Are those the kinds of hobbies you have? Reading and collecting?

[refractures]

They're certainly what I do, but not as a hobby. Reading is a pretty important skill! Collecting children's books on behalf of some dear kids I know is always fun, thinking about how they would react to such a story and the like. Have books stopped resonating with you?

[bxkautx]

I still like them when I have the time.

You take care of a lot of kids? Like, what, a daycare worker?

[refractures]

No, I just watched over my coworkers' kids every now and then. They grew up so fast... I miss it when they were so small and would try to hit me if I said something they didn't like.

[ lmao ]

[bxkautx]

Child violence... the most acceptable type.

[ ok. ]

So babysitting, more like.

[refractures]

More or less, yeah.

[ ... ]

Children truly are a product molded by parenting.

[bxkautx]

... Yeah, I think that's mostly true.

[refractures]

Thinking about yourself?

[bxkautx]

Not in particular, but I don't think I'm an exception or anything.

[refractures]

Good. Some introspection every now and then is nice for your mental development.

[ Child Satan. ]

[bxkautx]

[ ok ]

So what were your parents like?

[refractures]

[ yea ]

Dunno!

[ He says cheerfully. ]

But I also don't care, so it evens out.

[bxkautx]

Guess that means you just get to be self-made or something.
