They can be obsessed with magic. If they get their magic, they're pretty rational. If they're denied it...
Up to converse part 14 in my reread/catchup
The Septhian nerd party is just about the last thing I remember reading before I lost track of the fic.
God, I loved the Sephtian nerd party
Thank you, corrected.
Overconfidence. Such a useful thing to have in your foes. Makes it so much easier to lay them low when they indulge in stupidity.
That makes a subtle kind of sense. He was born human, he still thinks like a human, of course he wants to look human.
It's the same thing with Mammon. He looks like a bloated Lothario because that's the image he wants others to think of him. Or Etrigan, who's as close as you can get to a superheroic demon in terms of appearance.
Image is everything. And to demons, it matters a lot.
Boy, he's rushing through this. John is that scary, then.
Honestly, if she can keep that good sense in mind, she'd go far as a Constantine. Too bad she doesn't have enough to just leave well enough alone outright, even if she weren't being encouraged to help.
A neat summation of his mortal fate. And one that puts all the blame on John...
Ambush time. Simpson isn't going to know what hit him, is he?
Honestly, Simpson really must be in a rush, if he didn't lay any arcane warning signs about...
That's your cue, OL. Have at him.
Heh, this'd be a brown trousers moment... If he still had any flesh.
Yoink!
Yes, you should be afraid. Sticking your fingers in places they don't belong...
Just accept it, man. You're nicked.
I would probably keep that option open after this, just in case.
Under Satannus' purview, that first Christmas, wasn't it?
Do be quick about it, we haven't got all day.
And in the background Gemma just rolls her eyes. She's probably heard worse at school.
Well, by those standards, he's in paradise...
The problem is, he needs to be in Hell, or...
...That. Better a fool like Simpson, rather than someone smart, or worse, ambitious enough to be eyeing up the seats of his betters...
What you might call a fate worse than death. Except, you know, you're already dead. And it's unfortunately too many who weren't good enough.
Ah, finally, back on topic. Chop, chop, Simpson, get talking.
Eh, he's already declared his dislike of his neighbours.
To put it simply, Magic is freaky. Gods are freaky. This is a whole other level of freaky.
Ugh, idiots poking the things they don't fully understand...
Wait for it...
There it is, the moment he realises: He. Dun. Goofed.
Zatarra, Blaze or Mist? Who would be best to take custody of this git?
Spoilsport.
I think there's a single god of technology because people believe in technology as a singular process. When they think of progress over the past 20 years, they don't usually think of one field in particular. There's a reason why the concept of "Big Tech" exists, and has encompassed everything from cars to electronics over the last 100 years. Though Big Pharma's a little separate.
