"In my universe there are the Nine Hells," he says slowly, thinking it over. "And the Abyss. And there's been a war being fought between them since before the material plane even finished forming. The devils of the Hells fight the demons of the Abyss, and the fact that they're all still fighting one another seems to be the only thing that distracts them from engulfing the rest of our universe. Or trying, at least. We'd all certainly fight if it came to a full invasion, but..."
He hopes it never comes to that.
"I've heard of possessions like that, but only in rumors. Whether it ever actually occurs or whether it's just a scary story, I'm not sure. I do know that devils will buy mortal souls whenever they can. Seen that happen."
"Our daemons need the materium, need us, to stay alive. They need our suffering or our excess or our blood to stay in power. So they fight us, to get them." So, that's fun. Nothing like being wanted. "Most humans cannot endure even proximity to the warp--it drives them mad. They have to be. Uh."
Right, he's talking to Barcus who is tender hearted. "T-taken care of?"
"Possessions happen. Many baselines know nothing of the warp or such things, for their own protection." It's just nicer to pretend it all doesn't exist. "Many people do not want to realize how little control they might actually have in the world." WOW this is such an uplifting conversation that even Gadriel's getting depressed.
"But why do you think of these now? And how can I help with this sword?" Moving makes things less terrible.
