[As you mind your daily business, a note that somehow seems to have found its way to the most common grouping places might catch your attention. It reads:

----------------
Looking for:  A place to stay (temporarily or long-term)
Info: genial, reliable, good with kids and pets, likes fun, games like chess, the occasional party, good books and talks, dislikes idiocy and being controlled, hobbies are nanotechnology, philosophy and music, can drive, fly and cook.

PS: I’m a demon.
----------------

[The note ends with some instructions on how to find its writer. If you choose to follow them you’ll come across a not overly happy demon who isn’t wet, but shivering and soaked – there’s only so much wings can do as a shield against the rain :(]

M-hmm. The only thing they got wrong is that Pandemonium has never been Hell.

I agree! Demons make most things a lot more fun~!

[youngest-halfa.livejournal.com]

Pandemonium?

...why would they want to make a 'Hell' anyway? Why have a place where people don't want to be?

[tuned-wrong.livejournal.com]

It's the real name of the place demons come from. Hell as the humans imagine it doesn't exist.

[youngest-halfa.livejournal.com]

So they aren't like how humans believe?

Is Pandemonium a bad place?

[tuned-wrong.livejournal.com]

Not at all.

[Smiles a smile that could mean all and nothing.] It's the place where I was born.

[youngest-halfa.livejournal.com]

[Looking at him curiously.]

You have...a strange expression....

[tuned-wrong.livejournal.com]

I do?

[youngest-halfa.livejournal.com]

You do...I'm....not sure what it means....

[tuned-wrong.livejournal.com]

Well, sometimes I'm a strange person. It'd only fit that I make some strange faces from time to time.

[youngest-halfa.livejournal.com]

Well, a smile should be happy, but...it doesn't seem like that.

[tuned-wrong.livejournal.com]

[laughs] Maybe the rain washed the happy out of my smile. Anyway, don't worry about it, it's nothing important.

[youngest-halfa.livejournal.com]

[Looks confused.] Rain can't do that.

...that seems like a lie. If it's not important, wouldn't you show a...straight forward expression?

[tuned-wrong.livejournal.com]

[That's the point, young miss.]

[Starts to say that he's not a very straight person, but stops for obvious reasons.] I'm a demon. Lying is what we're expected to do.

[youngest-halfa.livejournal.com]

But do you have to do it?

[tuned-wrong.livejournal.com]

Hm? Oh, no. Only when I chose to do so by myself.

[youngest-halfa.livejournal.com]

So you don't have to lie. So you shouldn't if you don't have too.

[tuned-wrong.livejournal.com]

[Gives you a curious look.]

What makes you think that I was lying?

[youngest-halfa.livejournal.com]

Because you had a weird expression...I just thought if someone has a weird expression...it's cause they're not honest.

[Frowns.] Am I wrong?

[tuned-wrong.livejournal.com]

Not solely wrong, but mistaken. Sometimes people also make strange faces when they don't lie.

[youngest-halfa.livejournal.com]

Why?

[tuned-wrong.livejournal.com]

Who knows?

[youngest-halfa.livejournal.com]

...that's annoying.

[tuned-wrong.livejournal.com]

How so? I think it'd be a lot more annoying if everybody always knew what you were thinking.

[youngest-halfa.livejournal.com]

But it's annoying! I mean, if you're gonna lie, outright lie. If you're gonna be honest, be honest. Being vague is just annoying and what's the point to it?

[tuned-wrong.livejournal.com]

Saying neither the truth nor lying is the point. That way you can say or chose not to say a lot, even to yourself.
