ruby. that's all there is.

“That… sounds terrifying.”

“Maybe. I don’t know, it was a long time ago, I guess..”

“I still don’t like seeing him. Usually only happens every decade or so, but, I mean, he’s here, so there’s not much I can do about it now.”

[ruby--bee]

“Can I ask why?”

“I really don’t know. I thought it was a joke, I guess. And a pretty boy was offering to buy me something I wanted.”

[ruby--bee]

“It was that easy?”

“It wasn’t hard.”

“I mean, I did it.”

[ruby--bee]

“I can respect that.”

"Good. I didn’t get your name, I’m sorry.”

[ruby--bee]

“…Did people ever sell their souls out of anything other than desperation?”

"All the time. I sold my soul for a necklace.”

violet-la-croix:

“I just want to sleep forever.”

“It’s called death.”

[ruby--bee]

“Wow, you must have had a really bad day, huh?” Turning to the bartender, she smiled. “I’ll have the same.”

“I’ve never really been one to beat around the bush with my alcohol.”

[ruby--bee]

“I’ll have whatever you’re having.”

“I’ll have vodka. Neat.”

[ruby--bee]

“Well. I hope you encounter kinder people in the near future.”

“I’m not too worried about it. I mean, for all I know, the big man downstairs will decide that I shouldn’t exist.”

“I’m just.. Worried about people. Good people. I never minded, doing this job, taking people’s souls, and all, before, but now.. People here who sell their souls here, they do it out of desperation. I don’t like that.”

[ruby--bee]

“That sounds more than fair.”

“Yeah, with everything going on, I think saying people are stressed is a little bit of an understatement.”

“You can say that again. What’ll you have?”

[ruby--bee]

kanaandrews:

“You look like you could use a distraction. Can I buy you a drink?”

"Only if I can buy you one.”

“I think we could all use a distraction.”

[ruby--bee]

“Never said he was a friend.”

“Right.”

[ruby--bee]

“It’d be better to put faith in, I dunno, a rock with a cop badge on it.”

“What about your friend, hm?”

[ruby--bee]

“Touchy, much?”

“People are getting fucking murdered, I’d like to put a little faith in the people trying to find out who did it.”

[ruby--bee]

“I know someone who claims to help out cops, but that’s it.”

“Claims. Seems like it would do you some good to shut your damn mouth, then.”

[ruby--bee]

“I don’t know if that means the people you’ve encountered think you’re above or below being treated like a person.”

“Me either.”

[ruby--bee]

“Define alright.”

“You know, I’m not sure I can, now that I think of it.”
