I feel like I need to apologize for anything Michael's been telling you ~~losers saps~~ folks. He likes to mess with people. It's just the way he is, 'cause demon from the Bad Place and all that. But he's getting better, promise. He just needs a little help with that. Speaking of, does anyone have any philosophy books around? Better yet, are there any philosophy teachers or ethics professors here? Because that would be fantastic.

Also - since I died and now I'm alive again, does that mean that any sort of lifetime ban from, let's say for example, a store that lets you build a cute stuffed animal of some kind would no longer be in effect?

Come on man, I need your help here.

	In your defense, you probably have much less experience with demons and/or celestial beings than I do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He was definitely my first, yes. But I do have a fair amount of experience with manipulative jerks. Mostly because I was one when I was alive the first time around. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, you figured it out, and that's the most important thing. What can I do to help you out with him, here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sam teamcockroach 2018-03-01 02:45 am UTC (link)
	Well the problem is that he has no reason here to be a good person. Back there, he was trying to be better so that he could help all of us and it was actually working. So, um...help? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What was motivating him back home? I should probably tell you that I'm a monster hunter, so generally my method for motivating demons or any other being to do what I want is to threaten to kill them. But I don't know his particular weaknesses, so I doubt he's very scared of me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Eleanor+Sam teamcockroach 2018-03-01 02:50 am UTC (link)
	He didn't want to get retired and end up in eternal torture for fooling his boss. And then he ended up liking us and wanting to help us. ...oh. I don't think he can be killed, actually. And I don't want him to be killed. He can be good - he sacrificed himself for me. But I don't know how to get him to that point here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Eleanor+Sam bornunder 2018-03-01 02:55 am UTC (link)
	Are you sure he wanted to help you, and he wasn't just saying that? In my experience, every being can be either killed or at least contained. But I'm open to other ideas, especially since I don't have any lore from your world to work with. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Eleanor+Sam teamcockroach 2018-03-01 02:58 am UTC (link)
	He had plenty of chances to give us up to save his own skin and he didn't. Janet could tell you more. All I know is that he's thousands of years old and that he tortures human souls and that our neighborhood was his first time being an architect. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Eleanor+Sam bornunder 2018-03-01 03:00 am UTC (link)
	Sorry to be a cynic, but it could be a long con. I'll talk to Janet, then. If I get anything useful, I'll let you know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Eleanor+Sam teamcockroach 2018-03-01 03:02 am UTC (link)
	...I really hope it isn't. Thanks bunches, I'll be looking out for it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Eleanor+Sam bornunder 2018-03-01 03:03 am UTC (link)
	For whatever it's worth, so do I. No problem. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Eleanor+Sam teamcockroach 2018-03-01 03:05 am UTC (link)
	I really hope the sincerity I'm sort of picking up in your words there is legit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Eleanor+Sam bornunder 2018-03-01 03:07 am UTC (link)
	It's real sincerity, in that I do genuinely hope you're right. I've just been betrayed by too many demons that I was forced to trust for various reasons, to honestly think that you are. But those are the demons of my world, not yours. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Eleanor+Sam teamcockroach 2018-03-01 03:09 am UTC (link)
	Michael is...well, he's a bad guy, sure, but I think he can be better. If I can, then he can. I hope. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Eleanor+Sam bornunder 2018-03-01 03:11 am UTC (link)
	I'm guessing you don't know the answer to this, but is it possible he was human at any point? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Eleanor+Sam teamcockroach 2018-03-01 03:14 am UTC (link)
	I...don't think so? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Eleanor+Sam bornunder 2018-03-01 03:15 am UTC (link)
	Okay. I'll ask Janet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Eleanor+Sam teamcockroach 2018-03-01 03:16 am UTC (link)
	Now you're thinking like one of us, bud. When in doubt, ask Janet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Eleanor+Sam bornunder 2018-03-01 03:18 am UTC (link)
	Does she answer to him? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Eleanor+Sam teamcockroach 2018-03-01 03:19 am UTC (link)
	Usually, but she is supposed to help out the residents of the Good Place, so technically I think she answers to us first? I don't know who's above who in her mind, actually. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Eleanor+Sam bornunder 2018-03-01 03:22 am UTC (link)
	I'll add that to my list of questions, then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Eleanor+Sam teamcockroach 2018-03-01 03:23 am UTC (link)
	You are a really great person, Sam. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Eleanor+Sam bornunder 2018-03-01 03:24 am UTC (link)
	I'm not sure about that, but I try to be. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Eleanor+Sam teamcockroach 2018-03-01 03:35 am UTC (link)
	And that's what matters. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Eleanor+Sam bornunder 2018-03-01 04:06 am UTC (link)
	Agreed. (Reply to this) (Parent)
