Someone within this city is going to buy me a drink. Immediately. I prefer scotch, but really, anything will do. I also require a sledgehammer. Crowbars are also acceptable.

Your generosity will be repaid tenfold in both money, good will, and the feathers that I will be tearing out of my favorite down pillow. If you so choose to remain so, anonymous donations can be dropped off at my mailbox at the post office.

Remember: generosity is a virtue, not a sin.

Enough to know that these contracts are mockeries of what they should be.

What they should be? What do you mean?

Souls, contracts -- they're meant to hold for a higher purpose than becoming twisted abominations, to turn individuals into fighters of the universe.

He's doing this for a reason. I'm going to find out what it is.

I'm not a twisted abomination!

Do you have any ideas yet?

[he ignores the first part.]

No. But I'll figure it out.

[r u d e]

Is there anything else you need to know?

No.

[A dismissive twitch of his fingers.]

I've what I need. If anything changes, between you or Joe, you can contact me.

Okay.

Um... Thank you.

Thank Gabriel, I did nothing.

But you're going to do something! That's the important part.

Because I have to, not because I want to. There is a difference.

Why do you have to?

Reasons you don't understand.

[There is a certain order to things -- an order to how souls are taken. A right way.]

I might understand if you told me!

No, you won't.

But the sentimentality is cute.

I'm not cute, either.

You would sell your soul for ponies and sunshine, my dear.

I would not, and I still have it, anyways!

Yes, that's the entire problem -- you shouldn't. Your soul should be in your body or in the afterlife, there should be no middle ground.

It shouldn't be in the afterlife, don't say stuff like that!

Where do you think souls go, sweetheart?

Yeah, except I'm not dead and I'm not going to be any time soon!
