(Pyp)
"A rich bitch?" Pyp smirked, raising an eyebrow at the white-haired youth wanting to control him.? "You _really_ don't know anything, do you?? What would I do with money?? What would _any_ demon need with money?? I can't do anything while I'm inside this circle, but you let me out and I can get you all the money you want." The demon grinned mischievously. "I can even put your face on it, if that's your fancy."
"My greatest weakness?" Pyp seemed to ponder the question for a moment.? "Well, I'm a demon, which means I'm subject to the same vulnerabilities as most other demons.? Physically, there's not a whole lot that can hurt me. At least not permanently. You could hit me with one of your nukes and all it would do is send me back to Hell for a bit, until I found a way back and a new body to inhabit."
"There are certain magicks that can cause me problems," he went on, walking around inside the circle, pausing every now and then to test the invisible barriers confining him. "But the caster would have to be pretty adept. And fast. Because once someone attacks me, it leaves me free to retaliate." His red eyes gleamed with malice.? "And I'm _really_ good at retaliating."
"And of course angelics can be a real pain. And I mean that quite literally."? He grimaced as if at some distasteful memory.? "Fortunately we don't cross paths that often.? This world is kind of neutral territory. So most of the time we walk rather carefully around each other. But you _really_ don't want to mess with the angelics.? They don't have to follow the same rules that we do. And they have _no_ sense of humor."
"But my true greatest weakness is that I fucking love being in the mortal world." The flower-boy-faced demon looked back at his summoner, quite serious.? "And I'll do anything to prolong my stay here, which is what really gives you power over me. And what behooves me to protect your sorry ass from anyone out to hurt you.? Anything happens to you..." he winced at the thought "...and I've got three days to find a new summoner or it's back to Hell I go. And I fucking _hate_ Hell."
"So," Pyp said, grinning once again, "you've got one question left.? What'll it be?"?
[Kutsuki]
"Duly noted," was all that Kutsuki said to Pyp's answer to his second question.? It was disappointing though since it didn't really seem all that different from any other generic, cliched answer that a demon could give.? He was hoping for something a little more interesting, more substantial than the imp's seemingly inherent hate for the place of his birth.? He heavily sighed, crossing his arms again, glaring back at the demon's toothy smile.? "I would've expected a less boring answer from someone as flashy as you, but I guess not all of us can have what we want."? As much as he hated to admit, that especially held true for him, having expected the ruiner of wealth and not this...K-pop idol.
"Very well.? I suppose I can't keep you locked up in there forever, not if I want to make _some_ use of you," Kutsuki said, yawning as he unhooked one hand and lazily waved in the air.? As if a small breeze swept through the room, the candle flames suddenly and violently were pulled to the left and then became extinguished, the only remnant of them ever being lit were the thin, tall columns of smoke that remained.? The invisible barrier that previously held the imp within its confines was now gone, letting the demon roam free should he wished to do so.? At the same time, the room was thrown into total darkness, with the exception of two pairs of glowing eyes - Pyp's and Kutsuki's.? He turned and walked up to the edge of room, stepping over things without a single stumble, using the same hand to flip a switch as a few different lamps came to life.? He wondered if the demon was going to say anything about that.? "You'll have to excuse this lack of propriety here.? Not all of us can snap their fingers and make shit happen."
"Okay, _Pyp_."? Kutsuki stood again in front of the demon.? "I suppose I must satisfy my own curiosity, because who knows when next I will get a straight answer out of you.? What's got your panties into such a twist about Hell?? You'd think your kind would revel in the powers they get from there.? I mean you've got what, the usual powers of immortality, Hellfire, possession...so what gives?? Daddy issues?"
