Velvette frowned in concern. A demon who had never killed, huh? She'd met Hellborn half his age with a bodycount. Granted, there was the odd pacifist in Hell. Like his sister. And that one Goetia who taught astronomy. There were probably others.
"Haha! You're so fucking presh!" she gave Damian a squish. "The first kill is always the hardest, but being able to protect yourself is a good way to stay alive. The world is full of predators, both in Hell and otherwise.
"But that's also why us Overlords exist. It ain't just for power and glory, ya know. Holdin' someone's soul lets us find them wherever they are, gives us the power to protect them that they haven't got on their own."
She gave Damian a gentle noogie. "You stick wiv Big Sis. *I'll* kill anyone wot don't respect my li'ol man."
I’m just so fucking pissed off man if they can surgically airstrike international volunteer food workers three consecutive times to ensure their operation is wiped out completely what the fuck is left for anyone to say

me talking to my ex girlfriend explaining that I have a contingency plan and it's WHAT IF?
yes this is the first time I'm announcing I'm homeless on my social media, I'm not bothered by it anymore.
there's no need to feel embarrassed when the ones who are at fault are the ones who blame others for an economic problem. I'm disabled & homeless and not ashamed to admit it. I've even started putting it on dating apps when I was poly. .I don't get paid enough on SSI so I gotta improvise..
a girls gotta do what she gotta do
(I feel bad my ex girlfriend is forced to be masc because of her family..I can hear her cries wanting her lesbian and transgender side to come out and be seen 🥺)
Velvette had never heard of Safe Haven before the invitation to come visit had arrived in her inbox. And that was the main reason she had read it. She was an important woman, and she got a lot of invitations to places that didn't matter. Often expecting her to show up for free.
This invitation had been different. Firstly, in that they had been upfront about requesting her fees for a consultation, and their intention to pay all of her travel expenses. Secondly, that it had been from a school. And thirdly, that Voxel searching the place had only come up with the cryptic notion that Demons could not get in to the... City? Country? Realm apart in space and time? Whatever the fuck it was, it was supposed to be some kind of ultra protected place.
Her first reply had been to confirm that they knew what she was. A Sinner. A Demon. An Overlord.
When they had assured her that that would not be a problem, and she would be safe while on school grounds, Velvette was definitely intrigued.
And now she was there, pulling her wheeled luggage behind her and being escorted by a flirtatious fox.
A bell rang, and suddenly the halls were full of children. At all of 5'4", Velvette was small by the standards of most Sinners. it was a little embarrassing how much being in a literal school meant there were people her own height around.
This was one of those stories you couldn’t put down! While I didn’t know exactly what was going to happen, I had some inkling, but wow, was I off-base. The story took turns I could not have anticipated, and it had action and intrigue I never would have guessed was coming. The story, the romance, isn’t rushed, it just happens, and our characters are just as surprised sometimes as we are. Old favourites, re-acquainting ourselves with familiar friends, and meeting some for the first time, I love this world and all the characters, good and bad, that occupy it. Cora has always been special, and being with her as she gets her HEA, was simply wonderful <3
