trade my soul for a wish

[from_scratch]

This is a successor to "call me maybe", which is getting crowded.

Cam is dipping a grilled cheese sandwich into a bowl of tomato soup when he feels the summons. He goes ahead and grabs it. Doesn't even drop the sandwich.

"Water clings tight enough that it's mildly uncomfortable to get the air under it. I'm faster than those awful public restroom fans, but not by that much."

"Yeah, okay, I'm a biology major, not a physics major, I'll take your word for it."

[from_scratch]

"Some people don't mind sloughing the water off like that, I've just never liked the sensation."

[maggie_of_the_owls]

"I'll probably try it at least once if I'm ever a demon. I believe in trying new things before judging them unless they're really obviously a bad idea."

[from_scratch]

"Oh, that will get you into all sorts of messes if you're any kind of daeva. We're indestructible."

[maggie_of_the_owls]

"I do have a fairly reasonable definition of what constitutes really obviously a bad idea you know."

[from_scratch]

"Yes, but if one is indestructible things like 'flinging oneself into a star' are merely 'inconvenient'."

[maggie_of_the_owls]

"That sounds annoying to get out of. I don't mind risking pain, but tedium is more of a deterrent."

[from_scratch]

"I do actually have a plan to get out of any stars or black holes I find myself in but it would take a while."

[maggie_of_the_owls]

"Yeah, it doesn't sound like eternal torment, but I can't imagine why I would want to do it in the first place. There's a difference between 'not judging' and 'bothering with.'"

[from_scratch]

"Fair enough."

[maggie_of_the_owls]

"If I tried literally every single thing I'd heard of that didn't sound like an automatic disaster I wouldn't have time to get attempted murdered in the woods."

[from_scratch]

"It would really depend on how you prioritized the things."

[maggie_of_the_owls]

"If I tried every sex thing I'd heard of I wouldn't have time to get attempted murdered in the woods."

[from_scratch]

"...This would probably also depend on how you prioritized the things. The thing with the attempted murderers is they're really impolite about interruptions."

[maggie_of_the_owls]

"I'm assuming I'm doing these sex things in my college dorm room. Or an apartment, if I was constantly having sex instead of attending to my school work I'd get expelled sooner or later."

[from_scratch]

"Is outdoor sex in various locations not practiced on this version of Earth?"

[maggie_of_the_owls]

"True, it is, but that will get you arrested for public indecency and therefore goes under 'obviously terrible ideas.' Unless you did it at night...in the woods...okay, I see your point."

[from_scratch]

[maggie_of_the_owls]

"Except that if I was busy having sex I might not notice the lunatic with the hockey mask and chainsaw and get actually murdered instead of attempted murdered which puts it firmly back into the realm of terrible ideas."

[from_scratch]

"That's true, you do seem to have this problem. Do you not get bizarre home invasions when you're just minding your own business?"

[maggie_of_the_owls]

"...Not in my hometown or on campus. There was this one time when I had an internship abroad that a different kind of vampire broke into my room, but she was actually after my roommate."

[from_scratch]

"How many kinds are there?"

[maggie_of_the_owls]

"There's the most famous kind, the European ones, there's the Chinese Hopping Vampires which is probably kind of racist for me to say but I can't remember their real name, there was the kind I mentioned encountering that I...was not eligible to be victimized by, and I repeat my disclaimer about not being able to promise anything doesn't exist."

[from_scratch]

"This seems like too many kinds."
