So remember how the original Twin Souls idea was basically "Twilight, but with demons instead of vampires"? I kinda head canon that whatever actor plays "Alcor" in the movie adaptation will feel the same way about the series as Robert Pattinson does about Twilight.

"If you hate it so much, why didn't you just quit?"
"Ugh. I signed a contract. I think the guy who wrote it is part demon...is that even possible?"
"Ew. No."
"Sorry. Anyway, if I didn't finish the film, no one else would ever hire me." The actor tilted his head back and took a deep swig of his drink, mirrored by the demon sitting across the coffee table from him. "Were you really trying to curse the movie?"
"Wouldn't you?" Across the table the demon – Alcor the Dreambender – took another drink, and idly Richard wondered if demons could get drunk.
"What does Mizar think of all this anyway?" Richard asked, just drunk enough to risk asking about the other half of the pair he'd been near forced to play.
"She thinks it's funny," Alcor said mournfully, peering into his can to judge the level of alcohol left in it. "Likes to read the fanfics to tease me 'n the Woodsman."
This hadn't been the outcome Richard had predicted when he'd heard his co-star of the Twin Souls movie was going to try summoning Alcor. To 'see the reality and get into the role!' (Alcor had come swirling out of the circle, taken one look at where he was, and started ranting, arms flailing and wings flapping hard enough to kick up a good breeze. Richard had agreed with every word coming out of the demon's mouth, and said as much, which lead to...well, this.) But damn, it felt good to finally find someone else who hated the movie as much as he did.
"That's just cruel, man. I stay far away from those things as I can."
"She thinks they're hilarious. Talked the Woodsman into doing a reading and snuck it on my answering machine, even. Ugh."
There was another pause as they both drank again, Alcor biting the top off the bottle Richard passed him, and the man paused uneasily before drinking from his own. Still, he was drunk enough – and desperate enough for someone to talk to – that he shrugged it off.
"And another thing, why would anyone, let alone someone as old as you are, want to go to high school again?"
"Don't even get me started, it was bad enough watching Mizar go through it without doing it myself. Ugh, and the way they act around each other..."
" 'It's such a fairytale romance'" Richard quoted the interviewer from his last appearance. "More like a nightmare, if you ask me"
"She's my sister, why the hell would I even?"
"...really? I thought that was symbolic..."
Alcor shrugged and swirled his drink, looking more than a little buzzed to the also buzzed Richard.
"Sister. And she's married to the Woodsman. And...just no. Ugh. Why'd it have to get so popular?"
"Hear, hear," Richard chimed in, clinking their bottles together. "I'll drink to that."
