astaroth, teja wartooth

I suppose thanks are in order. Brother, I do not know what I would have done without your help.

Teja, I offer you a thousand apologies and know that they are still not enough. How are you getting on?

Oh, could be worse. I've been changing, physically. You know, not exactly used to that. But thank you for your concern, lady Ash.

I might have to seek out your brother and punch him in the throat, though. If he didn't renege on his deal three years ago, this shit wouldn't have happened. He wouldn't have had to die three of the times that he has, and I wouldn't have had to deal with Mephisto, much less take over his goddamn throne.

But you know what? Silver linings. That's what's getting my ass by. Being the king of a circle of hell is going to look good for every band associated with Dethklok enterprises.

	If it pains you, I can see what I can do to assauge the discomfort. You would not be the first to want to do that to him. Nor will you be the last. And you are correct - I expect your business will be booming, for yourself and your employers. Perhaps you should come to visit soon. I would be honored to have my technical superior come to dine with me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Now let's not go so far as to say that, lady. Even technically, I still think you've got me outranked by a lot. You're technically a goddess that got shanghaied into being a demon.

But dinner sounds fine. Just so long as you don't mind my picking on Raziel for not telling me fuckall about what was going to happen. You know, a little forward notice would've gone a long way.

	I was teasing you, silly. Something tells me you aren't teased enough; you take yourself so seriously. Of course. I suspect you'd pick on him regardless. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Nope, people tend to be scared of me. I think the only ones with the balls to tease me are Charlene and Soren, and with the latter it's less balls and more the fact that he's a moron. Nah. He can't help what he became was a fucking batshit insane psychopath even by MY standards. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, that and you love him. I tease you because despite your exterior, there is a tiny bit of gentleness in you. (Don't worry, I won't tell anyone.) It hurt him to be that way. I'm sure you understand. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah, yeah. He's not too much of a cockbite. I know how that feels. The pain of knowing what you're doing isn't what you wanted to do, not who you are. Been there for about a decade, and THAT was hell. I can't imagine how it must have sucked being stuck like that for hundreds of years. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's the only reason I think he agreed to this at all. I have comfort in knowing that people's perceptions of me are false. He became that which he hated, and I don't know if he'll ever forgive himself for it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	athousandcuts 2011-03-06 09:44 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, I have a feeling he and I are a lot more alike than he ever let on. How are you taking all of this, though? I mean, this is the guy you've given your heart to, gave it to him before ANYTHING we know ever even existed. Surely you've got some hard feelings about it, yourself.

	About which? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	athousandcuts 2011-03-06 09:53 pm UTC (link)
	About him. His transformation, his returning to himself. You can't just go, "Oh well," about something like that. I don't care WHO you are, if someone you love became that anathema of a creature, it'd affect you in some way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	astarte 2011-03-06 09:59 pm UTC (link)
	I love him. I love every part about him that is flawed. I love his arrogance, I love his presumptions, I love his anger, I love his rashness. I don't love him for the good days. I will always love him. I stayed away when he was Mephistopheles. I didn't think he wanted me near, and that hurt. That hurt quite a bit. I became a hermit, I suppose.

	You're a lot more graceful about that than most people would be, immortal or not. Deity or not. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	astarte 2011-03-06 10:57 pm UTC (link)
	You're kind to think so, Teja. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't really see anyone I know having that kind of loyalty to me if I ever go that crazy. Raziel's a lucky motherfucker. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	astarte 2011-03-06 11:17 pm UTC (link)
	You'd be surprised. Love and loyalty go hand in hand, and you're more deserving of it than you think. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	athousandcuts 2011-03-06 11:21 pm UTC (link)
	Deserving maybe, but you can't pretend that people get even half of what they deserve. It's not a matter of deserving loyalty, lady, it's a matter of individuals' emotions, and if their fear or better logic wins out in the end. Personally, if I were you, I would have let that shit drop the moment he started taking souls. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	While I govern fertility and copulation and disasters, I try my best to let a cooler head prevail. Medititation is a worthwhile activity for anyone. I was painted demon as well. We're a match that way as well. (Reply to this) (Parent)
