*Goodnight, chickens!*

Quote from Baalzeboop >>

 "In a way. We've done many terrible, terrible things in the past. Plagues. Famines. Wars. We were one back then. Angry and childish. We thought that revenge on mortalkind was the best option. But then we realized that we never wanted eradication. We wanted kinship. But one ur-fiend couldn't do it all. Differing approaches were necessary. Humanity must succumb to evil. See how ugly it is. Only when you realize your pain can you heal from it. Only when you see a problem can you fix it. I show people what they do when they can avoid liability. The Magus shows them what they do when they have the option to do anything at all. The Beast shows them what they do when they are desperate. If only we could inspire hope for the future as easily as we inspire sin." It sighs.

"It's a crying shame. So that's why we limit ourselves. We need people to make their own choices, and improve. It may sound evil, and maybe it is, but that isn't a factor to us. The kids feel the cruelty of man, but they never saw them at their worst."

 ”that’s… strangely, actually pretty good of you, I think. I mean… the methods are a bit… well, terrifying, but your intentions seem pretty good. But… who am I to judge? I’ve… mostly spent the last ten years drinking hot cocoa next to a fireplace…” he sighs.

 It laughs a bit. "Most people attack upon hearing that spiel. You're just as gentle as in the storybooks. I wish we could be family. But gods and demons don't mix, do they?"

 ”well, I haven’t had a single fight since my apotheosis! Most people are afraid of me, and I don’t think it’d be fun anymore. And about gods and demons not mixin,’ why don’t they?”

*Cut for Arch.*

 They see someone around the same age, and from the same era as Darius in the distance. He seems strange, an arrow in hand, and strangely wearing a blindfold. Darius laugh, taking his spear off his back “Don’t worry, he’s an old friend of mine. He’s blind, but the best shot I’ve ever had.”

 “Yer right, but I don’t mind the cold too much, maybe I’m just a lil different, but I like the warm an’ the cold.”

 Mother Misery is seething behind her mask,  but lowers her umbrella of death, standing up straight and brushing off her dress.

“Well, that’s nice! I Don’t like when it’s hot… unless it’s inside and there’s a fire. If you could make it any weather you wanted right now, what’d it be?”

 There seems to be a note on the arrow as he tears it out of his shoulder and the archer disappears. Darius reads it, and sighs “Oh course.” He crashes the note “Jokester.”

 She runs her chin in thought, her claws tapping slightly “I don’t know, the Winter is so beautiful, but so is the Spring an’ Fall. Summer is amazin’, it all is so beautiful an’ perfect.”

 “What did it say?” She asks.

”alright, I’ll keep it snowin’ for now…” he finally finishes his hot cocoa. “I’m booooored… I’ve just been sittin’ here, doin’ this for soooooooo looooooong…” they slouch down in their chair, and a part of their little chocolate wafer antlers breaks off on the chair, which he catches and takes a bit out of, grumpily.

 “Making jokes about me and you. I’ll slap him in the head later.” He sighs “Thank you for preparing to protect me, but also don’t next time.”

 Merabelle leans back with them, sighing softly “Maybe you can tell me more ‘bout yerself, get ya talkin’ and ferget’bout bein’ bored?”

She doesn’t comment on the last thing he says. “What kinds of jokes?”

”alright… uh, my full name is Vanilla De Meringue, I love hot cocoa, and chocolate, and… well, everything sweet, I’m a god of Candy and hospitality, uh, I used to have eight pet parrots… oh, my favorite animal is a reindeer! Hmm, what else?…” he says this entire sentence in the same tone.

*Cut for Arch.*

 “The kind an annoying best friend makes when a guy stays around a girl a little too often.” He sighs, rubbing the bridge of his nose.

 She smiles, nodding “Yer the god of candy? Ain’t that somethin’ special, ya seem like a real generous god, love that fer ya. Love a good person more than anythin’.” She slaps their shoulder hard.

 “If I had a stomach, I’d be vomiting its contents right now…” she sighs as well.

he flinches a small bit. “Heh, yeah, god of sweets and winter treats right here for ya! He-he… it’s a bit boring though.”
