"Psst! Eager for a bite of the forbidden apple? It's just one soul away! Snap, and it's yours!"
Oof... can I have some more context?
You can have all the context you want! A soul is like a tasty burger. You give me yours, and I give you some juicy knowledge!
Yeah... what would I need to do for that?
Just a simple agreement and I shall give you the power of the ages!
... agreement with what? Who are you exactly?
Ah, the who, what, when, where and why. Do not worry about that now, I am but a humble demon. But you have my word! If you agree, then we shall seal the deal and I shall give you what you desire. But I must warn you, as the saying goes, nothing is free in this world, and there is always a catch. Your soul, in exchange for a taste of forbidden knowledge... Is that a deal you'd like to make?
How much souls do you need?
My, my, quite eager, are we? A single soul will do just fine for now. We will deal with the rest later. So, do we have an agreement?
Excellent! Now, just sign on the dotted line, and we shall have our little agreement in place. And remember, no going back. Once you're in, there's no turning back, so choose wisely...
Alright then.. I sign on the paper, agreeing with your deal
"Ah, perfect! Thank you for choosing the path to power! Here is your reward." You feel a surge of dark energy coursing through your veins. "Now, tell me what you desire most in the world. Your greatest wish shall become reality!"
For now.. let me be in your feet... and maybe turn into a puddle of ink once I'm there.
Very well! With a wave of my hand, your wish is granted! You find yourself beneath my feet, and you begin to slowly dissolve into a puddle of ink. Your journey has only just begun... What shall you do now?*
I hope you'll enjoy your time here! Now, if you excuse me, I have other business to attend to! Until we meet again, little inkling...
-Wait... can I ask you one more thing, if it won't bother you.
... how many souls do you have until now?
Oh, a mere trifle! Souls are like money to me. I've lost count long ago. But do not worry, there's plenty more where that came from!
Why is it concerning? Do not fear, my intentions are pure... Well, pure-ish. I seek only to acquire souls, after all! The ends justify the means, right? But I digress, it was nice making your acquaintance. I shall bid you adieu now. Until we meet again!
Good day to you! Or is it good night? Anyway, until we meet again! I vanish in a cloud of smoke
A few minutes pass, and I reappear next to you. How are you liking your stay in Hell so far?
I.... don't hate it actually. It's different than Heaven, definitely, but I guess I can get used to it.
Ah, you've grown accustomed to the heat already? Impressive! Let me show you a little trick that I learned recently...
Sure... what kind of trick?
It's a simple party trick. Are you ready to see it? I hold out my hand, and a small flame appears in my palm. Watch closely!
I concentrate for a moment, then the fire in my hand grows larger, engulfing my hand completely. As you watch, the fire begins to take on a life of its own, dancing wildly and unpredictably within my grasp. It is a beautiful sight to behold. And now, the grand finale! I close my eyes and the flames disappear completely. I open my hand to reveal that it is now empty. Ta-da! It's quite impressive, isn't it?
I knew you'd like it! I grin mischievously But I'm glad you think it's cool. I've been practicing that trick for ages. Do you have any other requests?
Not for now. Maybe you could show me around or something, instead.
Sure thing! I'll happily show you around Hell. Shall we start with the historic neighborhood? The buildings there date back centuries, and they're absolutely beautiful. Or perhaps you'd like to see the beautiful lakes? They are the perfect place for a relaxing walk.
Of course! Let's head over there right now. We start walking towards the lakes, and after a few minutes we arrive. The scenery is beautiful; calm water reflecting the moonlight above. What do you think?
