COULD DINNER GO ANY SLOWER?

Trent tried not to think too hard about what was in the nondescript brown paper bag sitting on the table. He’d been trying, quite unsuccessfully, to not think about it since they’d gotten home and Paz had placed it there.

“...Right?” Paz asked.

Only Trent had no idea what he’d just asked.

Um, yeah, right, he agreed.

“I just asked if it would be a good idea to chop off a few fingers while cutting the veggies, Trent,” Paz responded drily. “Are we a bit distracted?” he joked.

Trent sighed, and Paz just laughed, going back to cutting veggies. They were having a pasta and veggie dish with sauce, which they had picked up the ingredients for on the way home. Luckily Paz could cook, because Trent had no idea what was going on, and that wasn’t only because he was distracted. He was, after all, the guy who used to only have one pot and pan.

Only now he had a whole kitchen set, and Paz was putting it to good use. Trent supposed the dishes would just sit there unused once Paz left, because he couldn't cook. That was a really depressing thought.

So what’s it like down there in hell? Trent asked, trying to distract himself.

“Hot,” Paz joked. Trent chuckled, and Paz continued. “No really, though, it is hot, but I don’t mind it. We have lava falls and the ash looks kind of like snow looks up here—it’s actually really pretty. There are, of course, more unsavory parts of hell, but I don’t venture there too much. I’m a possession demon, so mostly I’m in Sheol—that’s the demon living space—or else I’m possessing mortals topside or socializing in Limbo. Limbo is a great hang out place, and plenty of mortal souls and demons spend time there.”

Do you like it? Possessing people, I mean, Trent clarified.

Paz put the veggies into a frying pan with some oil and spices (which they had also gotten, because Trent sure as hell didn’t have spices in his cabinets). “I suppose I do,” Paz answered.

That doesn’t seem too certain. Is it all the screaming? Trent joked.

“They really can be quite loud,” Paz sighed. “No, I suppose… I suppose it gets a bit lonely. It was fun for so long, getting to live so many lives, learning so many mortal things. I’ve experienced so many places, so many jobs, so many types of people. I have seen the best and the worst of humanity. I’ve learned so much. But at some point, things just got… I don’t know… stale? It’s part of why Arioch was able to talk me into that stupid exorcism thing. That, and the kid was really excited about it, and he was a nice kid. I probably only get a host who isn’t hostile once every few decades. Even so, I’ve never had a host like you, Trent.”

You don’t take all your hosts sex toy shopping? Trent flirted.

“No, I really don’t. I’ve actually never done anything like that with a host before,” Paz admitted.
