Note: This is intended to conclude the little bickering I was having with another who writes fanfics on fanficion.net. It has nothing to do with the story that was written. It is merely to prove that I'm not completely heartless... though some might argue that it only proves that I'm as evil as I am insane.
Demon: So Xellos... has your expert photographer developed the shot he took of you and Lina? I'd like to see it.
Xellos: I don't know... I wouldn't want anything to happen to it...
Demon: *smiling* Don't worry, the beauty about photography is that you could cover an entire room with the pictures from just one negative.
Xellos: You're right! What do I have to be concerned about? *vanishes, returning a few seconds later with the picture in hand* What do you think?
Demon: *looking at it.* Oh, this is great! I was afraid myself that the lighting in here was poor, but I see that wasn't a problem. Do you mind if I keep this as a suvenier?
Xellos: Now, now... This photo is going to give me great power over Lina Inverse. I'm not about to... share that control with a mortal like you...
Demon: And what good would 'control' over Lina be for me? You can easily have me killed if I tried to use it. The most good this photo is to me is for the memories.
Xellos: *sighs* Oh yes, mortals do tend to have trouble with such simple things as memories. Very well, since you pointed out that I can always make more, you can have that one. *vanishes*
Demon: *waits for a moment* Ok, you can come in now. *another pause*
Lina: *coming in* And what good is that picture? He still has the negative, and can make more whenever he wants.
Demon: *shaking head* Miss Lina, it true he can always make more, but did you not notice the camera his 'expert' photographer used to take this picture? It was a polaroid. Those things don't have negatives... *places photo in the flame of a candle on the desk* So, you're safe until the next time he tricks you into kissing him. Now... What about the 80% of what Aloria-chan's paying you?
Lina: I only get the cash if I stop you from making Zelgadis do that opening bit.
Demon: *smiles* Oh, I can assure you that he won't be doing THAT anymore... *catches the cash and watches Lina leave.*
