Better to not die at all.

*eyes flicker over and she frowns softly*

I'm beginning to doubt that...

*frowns as well*

And what has you wishing for death?

*bites her lip*

Everything changes. But me.

A lot of things don't change. Or else they change slowly.

Mortals are supposed to change, though. I'm beginning to see why people say that one lifetime is enough.

Yeah. But you haven't been mortal for quite some time.

*looks at her, suddenly a bit more wary*

No...I haven't been...

Then why should you expect to change?

I don't expect it...*shakes her head*

I would...like it. It's not pleasant, watching everyone you love change...grow old and die.

Aaaah.

Exactly why I used to avoid mortals.

Who do I traffic with, then, if I can't mortals? The Damned?

Whoever you want. I said it's why I avoided mortals. No one said you had to.

But the damned tend to be less depressing.

Or perhaps on my back in the throes of passion with my pool boy. I like that much better than the reality.

*grins widely and lets out a soft laugh*

Fair enough.

*laughs too*

Though I do have friends who wish to die 'with their boots on' as they say.

I wouldn't mind dying with my boots on. I have some rather nice boots... *smirks*

--Than on the toilet?

That's what Elvis would say if he was still kickin'.

Well. Yes, I suppose that makes sense too. *chuckles*

Hey, I wouldn't wanna die with my pants around my ankles unless I was gettin' some at the time!

Another very good point. I used to believe that dying in bed of old age was the way to go...

Now I'm pretty sure I'd take anything.

Take the 'whilst having sex thing'. Do it.

...Why would you take anything?

*eyebrows raise* That wouldn't be a bad way to go either...

Oh. I can't die. And frankly...it's getting tiring.

If I could pick: with Megan Fox. Yowza.

...Can't--can't die?

Megan Fox? Not a bad choice. *smirks*

Mm. Made a...deal a while back. So. Can't die. Stay young forever. Literally.

I know, I know. There's a lot more than that. Porta de Rossi's another. There's too many to choose from. But she's married now (sort of), so I'll stick with Megan.

...Well, shit. That was dumb.

Charlize Theron is beautiful. Oh, Portia is as well!

Oh yes. I realize it now. Hindsight is twenty-twenty, isn't it?

Why are all the hottest ladies in Hollywood all taken? Unfair.

Yeah, of course. Too bad I wasn't there. I coulda told you that. ...Did you--make a demon deal or something?

Because they're the hottest ladies? *grins*

Oh yes. I did. It cost me something I've never seen, will never seen, and...I want it back.

Point taken! Still. Unfair. Come to me. I would like some of that.

Why? What did it cost you? The whole soul deal thing?

Well, they're all taken by either those other hot ladies or the hottest men, so...it's just unfair all around.

*tiny nod* The whole soul deal thing, yes.

I know. What chance does an uggo like me got with the ladies if they're taking them all, huh?

Oh. ...Shit, I was just--*half a laugh*--kidding. I... wow.

*smirks* Hollywood isn't really about beauty so much as it is money, don't you know?

*makes a face and then laughs also* Yes. Very very stupid.

Yeah, well, I'm poor too, but lady needs some lovin's! Come on!

*grins* Sorry. Not to rag on you. But just--yowza. That sucks.

Or, alternatively, with your boots on.

I keep hearing that...is there a saying I've missed?

It's a song. Iron Maiden.

I'm sad someone got to it before me, they have good taste in music.

Oh! *smiles sheepishly* Of course. How could I forget?

[chuckle] No worries, it was obscure.

So, why?

Not terribly obscure. *laughs*

Oh. I just...was thinking about that saying. Is it really better to die on your feet than live on your knees?

Definitely, though I think peoples definitions of 'living on your knees' might vary.
