Gets like that after a while.

I mean, I suppose I could stop, but.. after so long it just feels natural.

Believe me, I understand.

What do you do? As far as just going through the motions, that is.

At my age, everything more or less qualifies.

Do you eat and sleep not because you have to but because it's habit?

Laughs.

Sometimes it certainly feels like it.

We all do. It's what they expect us to do even when we no longer have the want to do so.

No one even expects me to do it, or at least they didn't...

I just. You'd think that I'd have grown out of doing it for the sake of doing it.

No one did for me until recently. Now I have to.

I'm old enough to know better now. *bitter smile*

Of a normal life?

Or at least as normal as I can pretend to be.

Ya, that makes sense. It starts te feel more like ya are doing it for other people, than for ya self though...

Possibly.. I've just started having someone to spend time with for the first time in almost a decade..

Same here. Coming out of solitude is never easy. Good te see ya are doing alright.

Which motions do you mean?

Eating, though I have no hunger. Drinking, though I am never thirsty. Sleeping, even though I'm not tired.

Actions that are part of life. What is your life now if you no longer desire these things?

I no longer need them. It is not much of a life at all.

Why do you no longer need them? What do you do in your life?

I sold my soul. Nothing can kill me. Not for awhile, at least. I.. sort of fight demons.

Why did you sell your soul? *blinks*

I was afraid of death.

That is a common fear for people. Why did you fear death? And what now do you fear after your bargain?

I was eighteen. They tried to sacrifice me. I didn't want to die.

I don't think I fear anything. I know how everything ends.

Who tried to sacrifice you? That's a strong desire, to not want to die. It's made many people do things that they would not normally do.

How does everything end?

Girls at my school. It's a long story.

It ends with me dead on not the coming but the next Halloween and then spending eternity in Hell.

Fellow classmates? Were they people you trusted?

Why did you make the initial bargain? Where do you think you would have been if you hadn't? Do you think you were destined for Hell before?
