I have heard of the contracts at least, though I had forgotten about some our instructors' longevity simply because I forget that it is indeed a long time, admittedly.

Though in that, I worry more for my young master than myself. Human lifespans are so relatively short that I can only hope it will not be quite so long-term as our instructors.
No, you're right. But I don't know what it is we could be failing to think of. I don't even know how the hole in Neheda security is this big.

No reply from Javik, and the missing list is what, 20 long? How do you lose that many people on a ship? They can't go anywhere. This doesn't make sense.
Guess it must not seem that long when you're a demon. That's supposed to have immortality, isn't it? Don't know human religion all that well, but I'm pretty sure that was the case.

Seeing now why you're staying a servant. Sounds like he knew about the end plan of that particular contract? Full disclosure?
[Because if so, then anyone who sacrificed their soul for power deserved that end.]
Good, because I do not need to have that talk with anyone here. Especially when you're apparently the leader. Congrats. Good luck with the multiplying young.
It is, but I feel I should note that demons and religion are not so diametrically opposed as their doctrines would have you believe. But that issue is a bit too complex for such short messages.

But yes, he did. I cannot make a contract with someone who is not willing to. All of my masters know the price of my servitude, but to them, it is worth it to have their heart's desire granted.
I'm not buying it, but sure, all right. I'll pester you about her later. I'm sure between now and then I can come with dozens of rumors and questions. Unless you wanted to talk now.
So everyone's already talking about you and her? Damn. I never hear any of the good gossip. Feeling pretty betrayed over here that you never told me, though.
And there's nothing very juicy about that. I'm into him, he's damn good at dancing, tech, music, and bed. Also not quite sure what he sees in me but while he sees it I'll take it.
