Does anyone know a better way to convince people that monsters and demons are real than by summoning a giant fly and scaring somebody nearly to death? I feel a little bad for him, but I don't want him to really be hurt, and better something that listens to me than something that will actually attack.

[Under his breath:] Maybe I should have tried Lilim. ...That'd be scary in a different way. [He shrugs and moves on.]

My name is Aleph, if we haven't met. I'll add my services as a swordplay and gun instructor to the list of people offering. I have pretty good credentials. I'm also willing to spar with anyone who wants to keep in practice, especially if they'd prefer to fight a group.

What else did I want to say for this... oh.

Why orange?

In case you haven't realized, this is Animus, my friend. Give the Administrators time to become creative and you will have your...restroom fiend.

[ There's a little hint of mirth in his tone as he says that. The elf has a sense of humor after all. ]

[video]

[alephbet]

I should have known.

[video]

[marchwarden]

[ A soft chuckle escapes him. ]

A terrifying thought, no? Can you even imagine what kind of horror would befall upon us if true?

[video]

[alephbet]

I've never had to fight with my pants down before.

[video]

[marchwarden]

Quite the image, I fear. An image that I doubt any of us would what to behold.

[video]

[alephbet]

Of course not.

You had enough trouble with Mara.

[video]

[marchwarden]

[ Despite how low the following words were spoken, Haldir hears them as clear as day. ]

Who is this "Mara" you speak of, friend?

[video]

[alephbet]

[Aleph looks embarrassed. He'll have to be sure not to talk to himself in the future.]

Nobody you want to be introduced to.

[video]

[marchwarden]

[ Considering that elves are typically known for their uncanny hearing, it should come as no surprise that Haldir overheard him. ]

Is that so? A foe rather than a friend, yes?

[video]

[alephbet]

A friend. I trust him as much as I trust anything else I summon. But not one for polite company.

[video]

[marchwarden]

I take it that they're a tad rude.

[video]

[alephbet]

Yes. Vulgar even.

[video]

[marchwarden]

Are you so certain this fiend is your ally?

[video]

[alephbet]

Yes. I've risked a great deal with him and my other demons.

[video]

[marchwarden]

[ He must've seemed a tad confused about that statement. ]

You and you're other demons...? Tell me, just how many have you employed thus far?

[video]

[alephbet]

I have six on me at this moment. Over the course of my journey at home? A good number more than that.

[video]

[marchwarden]

Impressive. Yet, why is it that you seek to make a pact with demons?

[video]

[alephbet]

To be able to defend myself, and to be able to make a change in my world.

[video]

[marchwarden]

A heroic goal, Aleph. However, certainly their loyalty doesn't come freely.

[video]

[alephbet]

No, it doesn't. Lesser demons' services are more easily bought, and greater demons won't obey anyone who doesn't earn their respect.

But they take their loyalty seriously once it's promised.
