There's a bunch of religious church stuff involved, [which he'd be happy to explain if gideon expresses interest, but also it's church and religion stuff -- it's stuffy,] but we're soldiers, basically. Except instead of fighting humans, we fight Akuma.
Akuma are the closest thing we've got to necromancy in our world. But instead of bringing people back to life, the Count just takes the soul and puts it in a machine, which turns into an Akuma.
I'm better off without it. It'll just go to my head, and then I'll have to listen to a boring sermon about how sinful it is to feel good about yourself.

I'm an Exorcist. [and since he's curious] You have any of those in your world?

[it's fine,]
That's more heinous than ours. At least the soul isn't attached anymore when ours recycle.
no subject
Also, the Count wears a top hat and fights with a fluffy pink umbrella. You know. When he's not hanging out and watching his army do stuff for him.
no subject
Never mind what I just said about souls, that's the worst thing about him.
no subject
Even worse is when he's kicking our asses while dressed like that.

Feels like I've said that a lot, actually. Maybe all the people in hell have something in common.

So... what exactly is the Ninth like again?
no subject
Shitty, dark, and full of skeletons with an attitude problem. [why did she assign those three that]
no subject
I'm a perfect angel when it matters.
no subject
Oh, me too. [she says, like a liar.]
no subject
I kinda wanna see that. Angel you.
[which doesn't exist, but like, it's funny to think about]
no subject
That feels dirty, somehow. Not even in a sexy way, just in a my mouth tastes like something died in it way.
[she shoves her hands in her pockets.] Don't get it twisted, though. You belong on the Ninth as much as I did.
[this sounds like a compliment, at least?]
no subject
I like how the more I talk with ya, the more I wanna know.
[something something hell is other people and while lavi agrees, he'd also like to submit for consideration 'people make hell fun']
How's your hand to hand?
no subject
Uh - fucking horrendous, if I take my teacher's word for it, but I can hold my own. Why, you want to go a round or two?
no subject
Yeah, if you're up for it. I'd volunteer sword fighting too, but I don't got my weapon here.

[holds out a hand to him to help him up?? they can go spar somewhere.]
