Lords of the Underworld

Luther walked out to his car, unlocking it and going into the back seat. It was pretty messy, he had a lot of things from his grandmother's house and his own possessions, kept in his car due to his roommate's kleptomaniac tendencies. He took an accordion case and his clothes out, and put a pack of cigarettes in his pocket. Relocking his car, he went back in, passing the two with a mumble that sounded on the order of 'excuse me' and going to his room.

Luther say in the main hall, alone. He thought about going to his room, but realized he would have to see everyone again and decided that staying alone in the current room was a much better option. He sat back, reviewing what he thought of everyone so far. At least the new girl didn't seem to like him, from the look she gave him, so he wouldn't have to deal with her.

(Okay Major Winters.)Delilah brightened as she saw the others, they all looked so normal, but as she read Katherin's note she knew that they were like her. "Hello everyone! How are you all doing? Actually, what are you all doing? Just chatting?" She asked, scanning them again.

Luther looked at the woman with slight disinterest, but gave a nod once introduced. At least nightmares didn't seem to be throwing a fit about her, like he had done with some others. "Katherin's going over things we should know."

Luther sat back, closing his eyes and focusing on his demon. He was brought to an area in his mind, a bleak, gray void. He had always hated this place, but the worst was yet to come.
Nightmares appeared in a black haze, ever changing forms. The only thing that remained constant were his piercing red eyes, which were staring down Luther. The demon grinned, "So, you've come to talk. I heard everyone. Make it worth my time." "I want to make it so that you don't go after anyone here." Nightmares laughed, closing in on Luther to get his claustrophobia going. "That's a tall order, my friend. I'm not so fond of some of the others here, and I despise those who have yet to come. What will I recieve in compensation?" He was very expressive, his entire body shifting with his words.
Luther focused on his demon's eyes, trying to ignore what they were doing. It was hard to forget about it, and he had to ball up his fists to stop shaking. "...I'll go out into the towns around here, and you can do whatever the hell you want with the people."
The beast was obviously amused by this, and went in close, their faces touching. "You will go into town from midnight to six in the morning. Every night you don't go into town, the burden falls on you to take the nightmares. And to distract me from these idiots, while on castle grounds I will be playing with your mind more than usual."
"Fair enough." If Luther went to town every other day, it would still be a better deal than what he was currently dealing with.
The demon gave his companion open space again, "Give me your hand." A hand of his own came from the shadow, and inscribed a sigil into Luther's palm. "the pact is sealed, my dear friend. I look forward to your cooperation."
And with that, the demon was gone, and Luther's mind was back into reality. He looked down at his hand, and the mark was faint, but there. It still burned, which he hoped would die down soon.

"He would still want to give other people nightmares, though it probably wouldn't be every night. I actually think smaller rooms are better, as long as they're out of the way. He can't mess with me as much. Though, having someone go with me might be a good idea." Luther explained, contemplating the last part. He couldn't predict what his illusions were going to be, and he tended to react unpredictably to them. Though he didn't personally like the idea of someone going with him, it could be a good idea for getting him back home, or if need be, restraining him.

When Dante regained his composure he returned to the great room to see if everyone was still there. He was so embarrassed and wanted to apologize to everyone for the hold up.

Luther noticed Dante come back, "I'm sorry about that." He said, referring to the nightmare.

Luther your demon should be easy to please. All you have to do is spend a night in town where he can go out and visit the masses. Katherin wrote.

Luther sighed, but nodded. Any interaction with other people, even if it was just going to a town, exhausted him, but if it would calm down the nightmares he would do it. Hearing Katherin's explanation, he wasn't happy to hear there really wasn't a way out.

KatherinWinter said The key is to find balance between pleasing your demon and losing control. It takes time but if you and your demon can come to an agreement that makes you both happy then your immortal life won't be a constint battle. Katherin suggested.

"Alright, makes sense. I'm not exactly the best at negotiating, though." Luther was barely focused on what he was saying, still trying to process thhe fact that he would be immortal with this demon, and didn't really have any other choice.

"So there are ways to keep the effects down?" Luther asked, curious as to how she knew this. It was upsetting to know that he would have to live with this for an immortal life, he wasn't sure if he could deal with that.

Luther closed his door, following Katherin. The more they saw of the castle, the more he was grateful he had a map.
