Or you can tell me to fuck off. I live with Vergil, I'm used to it.
Seriously, I suck at this serious emotional shit, and it's not my business, but I kinda like having you around. Even if I haven't seen you in for-fucking-ever.
Funny how life just kicks you in the balls when you're down, huh.
Rule 1: Don't cross me, don't piss me off. Do and I hunt you down and kill you.
Rule 2: Stay comfortable and healthy. Time off for injuries and illness. Someone injures you and that's not what you were there for? Come to mama, and mama will bring you their head.
Rule 3: You respect me, I'll respect you. Don't cause problems, don't rock the boat, and you get to have the hours you want, clientelle willing.
As for facilities, we keep 'em nice, we keep 'em clean, we keep 'em comfortable, and we're... flexible with our arrangements for furniture. Arrange room and board both for you if you want; provide your own, you get a bit higher cut of your commission.
We work on commission with a base pay to keep all our kids from starving. It won't make you rich, but that's what your clients are for.
I don't have a question, but, despite Takahashi-san's current situation as acting head of the archangels, as I won't be able to find myself in Chicago for some time, let me make it perfectly clear to you ahead of time that I'd consider it an honor to share the city. If more Neqa'el and demons, in general, thought like you, I believe I'd have to retract anything I might have said or done in disdain of your species in my past.
The problems of my species are not lost on me, nor is he fact that I represent a minority rather than an overriding sentiment. But every change must begin with something, and sometimes that thing is the mere proof that such a change is possible.
I was once a man who slaughtered demons for sheer sport and when I became a First, I spent nearly a hundred years enlightening myself on how wrong I was to take such action against a species I only knew as prey. As you can see, I'm a firm believer in change, and I'd love to believe that a change can come without the benefit of one losing ones calling, but perhaps that's hoping for a bit much just yet.
Well, one can argue the relative merits of callings ad nauseum. I'm of the school of thought that our unique abilities are valuable and worthy - simply that, to steal an idiom, they shouldn't wag the dog.
There's a song and dance? Is it jazzy or more like musical theater? For some reason I see you all doing like a jazz number with sultry dancing and a solo on an alto saxophone!

Ever worn eyeliner? If yes, would you do it again? If no, could you be talked into it?
(Christ, I feel horrible even ASKING, but I am doing this for SCIENCE! Or something.)
Speaking of SCIENCE!, Professor Membrane would like to know if you're interested in a death ray that also makes TOAST.

Er. That is to say...
You're a VERY BAD MAN.
And the Professor says he'll get right on that. But right now, he has to go replace the head of a chimpanzee with that of a pig.

And, hey, hate fills you up. Nothing like a good fuck, but as a stand-in, it's not the worst.

I really hope you're not expecting a song and dance, because that's more Jack's job than mine.
