The Casino Of Souls

Quote from Fry_Doodles >>

Quote from Baalzeboop >>

 He cringes and slams his fist against the table, clearly trying not to respond to the pain but failing miserably.

He takes some deep breaths and runs his fingers through his hair. "Well. That's not very helpful. Perhaps I can give you a job shoveling coal."

 The shade lets out a soft, disappointed gurgle, bowing its head. Then, it seems stricken with an idea, perking up immediately and holding out cupped hands, which slowly fill with some sort of unidentifiable green acid, which they hold out to you expectently

 He tilts his head and smiles slightly. "Hmmm... I could actually use that. How do you feel about making jelly? Assuming the acid isn't actually toxic, you can process sugars and proteins with relative ease. Cleaning is another option. You could descale and de-rust machinery, clean out pipes, stuff like that. There are a lot of uses for on-demand acid."

 The shade nods, assimilating the acid back into itself. Their wispy voice rises again: "I need to be whole again. Whatever it takes"

*hello*

*Hi*

 He nods. "You'll do well here, then. I know what it's like to be empty, a mere suggestion of a thing as opposed to a thing itself. I'll pay you two coins an hour. Within a month, you'll be able to afford a soul plus some. I'll be able to procure body parts at your request as well." He grins and jabs his thumb into his plush chest. "Boogie Woogie, King of procurement! And, while we're at it, should you accept, I've got a sign-on bonus."

He holds out a paw, and a white symbol floats in it. A name. Tetsusumi.

 The shade reaches out to touch the symbol, letting out an awed gasp as it dissolves into their form. And then, they speak. In a real, true, human voice, albeit a bit raspy from fume inhalation.
"It's perfect."

*so this character, who I've affectionately been calling "peicemeal", is based on an idea of trying to get their memories back*

Bee is sitting outside the casino, their bar down for now.

Bee is sitting outside the casino, their bar down for now.

 An indistinct, gaseous shade is hauling a bucket of acid, which seems to be slowly eating the bucket.

 Bee blinks to them, and stands up, looking mildly confused.

 They keep moving, leaving a trail of acid behind them
