I knew this place was full of some kind of magic. People acted like I was crazy.

Memory loss? And trees and plants everywhere. Magic always causes problems. We're all lucky it wasn't something much worse.

We wake up in some weird world and you're paranoid. Sounds about right.

And I thought my family was paranoid.

[waywardboy]

I had my reasons before I ever came to this place.

I'm not paranoid. I'm prepared.

[sagittarium]

Sometimes paranoid and prepared go hand in hand.

WOW almost posted this as Thor.

[waywardboy]

This isn't the first time I've been sent to another world with demon magic.

oh god. lol

[sagittarium]

Then uh-

[sagittarium]

I've got nothing. Sorry. You beat me there.

[waywardboy]

... I didn't mean for it to be a contest.

[Scott took this really well, Allison! Connor accidentally his life story, that time.]

[sagittarium]

That was a joke-

Hey. I didn't mean it like that. My family's on the paranoid side of prepared too. Except they hunt werewolves.

[waywardboy]

Oh. A joke. ... sorry.

Werewolves are dangerous. It's good to be prepared. I mostly hunt demons. Sometimes vampires, but they were new to me before I came here.

[sagittarium]

Not all of them are dangerous.

...I didn't think vampires and demons existed.

[waywardboy]

Not all, but a lot. Better to be ready.

The world is crawling with demons... most people just don't notice.

[sagittarium]

No, I know one- a few, really. I know most of them are, but the one I'm close to, he's good.

I think my family would have added it to their repertoire. They're over-achievers.

[waywardboy]

That's good. But you should still be careful. Okay?

Are they hunters?

[sagittarium]

He wouldn't hurt a fly unless absolutely necessary.

Pretty much. Like... everyone in the family is.

[waywardboy]

You really trust him.

Do they only hunt werewolves, or other creatures too? Or is that all you have? You said you didn't think vampires were real.

[sagittarium]

Of course I trust him. I- [She cuts herself off quickly.] He hasn't given me any reason not to.

As far as I know, it's only werewolves. I haven't heard of anything else existing.

[waywardboy]

What's it like? Having someone you trust?

It's hard for me to imagine a world without demons. ... it sounds nice.

[sagittarium]

It's- [She stops, thinking it over. She's never actually been asked this question before.] I can tell him anything and everything. There's no secrets between us.

Are you saying you don't have anyone you can trust?

[waywardboy]

I thought I had someone, but she's not here.

[sagittarium]

Well, if you need someone to talk you, you're more than welcome to talk to me.

[waywardboy]

You'd want to talk to me?
