"Oh, no dearie! I don't feed off my passengers! I get a different sort of satiety from them. Have you ever found something that you really, really loved to do? Not just physically pleasureful, but joyously gratifying? Most people don't, so when you find something you love like that, you have to latch onto it." He sighs wistfully.
"Oh no. I do know that feeling. I enjoy dressing up you see, pushing the boundaries of what people think i should wear and what i want to wear. I push it everyday and it makes me feel powerful. I know that if i dress a certain way, eyes will be on me." He explained and chuckled.
The Conductor grins his perfect teeth. "What a brilliant idea! I would probably try that out myself if my uniform weren't so important! For me, it's riding the dream rails that makes me feel fulfilled. Free as can be, not even confined by the laws of physics or reality. It's incredible. Even better is the act of studying and utilizing the specimens I collect delving into the nightmares of the wounded folks who live here. One man's fear is another man's treasure, after all!"

"I'll let you borrow a pair of my heels dear. Satan knows I own too many. Maybe I'll do your make-up too. Smoky eyes would look gorgeous on you." he says and chuckles. "But why study them? What do you get out of their fears?"

"It's an endless source of stimulation! Even if I've seen every fear mankind and demonkind have to offer, I can still study permutations and consider how that fear came to be in this specific instance. Plus, I can melt them down into more powerful things, like fuel for my Nightmare Engine during times when nobody wants to ride with me."

Xan raises a brow and lights a cigarette "Does anyone ever tell you that you give off massive scary vibes?" He asked and smirked " So you get stimulation from it which means, and this is a hunch, that you don't get stimulation from anything else, ever?"

Then again, saying that you're not as bad as the other guys is just how you end up tumbling down the slippery slope. There's always someone worse. Those ones are the most interesting. What does a psychopath feel? An abuser? Criminals of the worst kind? Most can only hope to understand the mind of the foulest beings in hell. I've experienced many of them first hand!"
He giggles. "Sorry, I don't mean to be scary, but if being not-scary means being not-myself, I'm happy being a menace."

"Well... I like talking with friends. And enemies. I like dancing and singing, even though I'm not great at either and never had time to get lessons. I like decorating the Engine, especially for Christmas. Most demons don't get to celebrate Christmas down here. Shame they can't bring their gifts with them to meatspace."

The Conductor Demon's face twitches. "No one has ever questioned me about this before... well, and lived long enough to get a response, but that's a small detail and mostly due to coincidence. Hmm... I used to be a collector before I became a conductor. I was always fascinated with how things worked. I did a lot of engineering work. I was even a psychiatrist at one point, but I got sick of playing by the rules and had to quit before I hurt someone and tarnished my reputation. Worked as a doctor for a bit, too, but it was so annoying how they kept dying of hospital gangrene before I could even see how my surgeries affected them. Overall, I've done a lot of things, but trains and occult sciences have always been my passion."

Xan leans over a bit and hugs him "I'm sorry dear. I know we all ended up here one way or another for something but I am sorry for what you have gone through. I know you probably don't need pity but I'm saying it nonetheless." He takes a drag and snags a strawberry gummy from one of the tables. "This will sound like a death sentence but may I suggest art? like sculpting or writing, something of the sort? Hearing your story, you most likely have dabbled in such such a thing."
