What do demons do, Alex?

[It seems to be imitating Simon ... or something akin to Simon.]

[11calls]

Be creepy assholes who take after Simon Reese apparently.

[She's not playing this game with you, demon.]

Do you actually have an original thought in your head?

[Yep. She's taking the annoy the demon approach right now.]

[nobasisinfact]

Simon Reese is one of us, not the other way around.

[11calls]

Not yet he isn't.

[And won't be, if she has anything to say about it.]

He's been going around stopping your bosses' plans for years at this point.

[nobasisinfact]

That won't change the fact of what he'll become.

[11calls]

He won't. Any more than Richard will open the door.

[nobasisinfact]

Everything will come to pass as my general has seen.

[11calls]

Your general. [Yes, those are finger quotes.]

Has no idea about what to expect from me. And he’s an idiot if he thinks he does.

[nobasisinfact]

You're deluding yourself.

[11calls]

Am I? You’re in the head of the man who knows me best. Look into it and tell me I’m wrong.

[nobasisinfact]

You don't know my general.

[11calls]

Yeah well, you sure as hell don't know me.

[nobasisinfact]

Have you begun to believe that?

[11calls]

Clearly, if you think I'm going to be some sort of fucking host for one of these things. You called me vessel. That is not going to happen.

[nobasisinfact]

It isn't a choice, you've been prepared.

[11calls]

Not anymore.

[nobasisinfact]

You're still prepared.

[11calls]

What does that even mean?!

[nobasisinfact]

It means that our general will be able to take you easily.

[11calls]

No ones ever been able to make me do something easily.

[nobasisinfact]

Is that truly what you believe?

[The demon sounds like it knows better.]

Come, hit me again, maybe you'll finally be free of me.

[11calls]

No. I’m not going to hit you. Hitting you means hitting him and I’m not going to cause him pain I don’t have to!

[nobasisinfact]

Ah, then you'll never be rid of me. Will you fantasize of me as you did him - even when you thought he was truly happy with his estranged marriage?

Even when you knew he could pass as your very aged father - but you like that sort of thing, don't you?

[11calls]

[Alex just makes a face.]

I definitely never thought that he was truly happy with his estranged marriage. And he doesn't look that old.

[nobasisinfact]

You delude yourself into believing that. You're younger than his daughter. Poor Charlie, her father is even more of a disappointment than she thought.
