[Hello, Vatheon. This should be a very familiar face to most, but speaking in a very different way from the person it actually belongs to. Anya has familiarized herself with what's happening, but that doesn't make her any less upset about it.]

Oh, you have got to be kidding me. No one told me there were any curses awful enough to put me in the body of a man!

Actually, I'm not even a man. I'm a teenager! A teenager with a penis. Oh god.

And you... kid. Whoever this body belongs to. You had better be on your best behavior with mine. I know several things will be very tempting to your little teenage boy brain, especially if you've never seen a real woman naked, but I haven't given you permission to touch any of them.

...what is going on with this boy's wardrobe?

Do you want me to help you burn his wardrobe and replace it with something that makes sense?

[dontyoujustwish]

That is an appealing option. Would he retaliate?

[goddammitaxel]

I doubt he would. [Well, against Anya, but Saix is already burning his bridges with the rest of those he knows, so, you know what? Who cares.]

[...Also, actually being able to indulge in serious spite is- exciting. He's actually really really looking forward to this.]

[dontyoujustwish]

Hmm... It does seem somewhat unjustified to burn his entire wardrobe. He might be attached so some of his selections, and I don't know of anything that he's done.

[goddammitaxel]

If you need a reason, I can certainly supply you with one. He's wronged me well enough.

[Huh... Bitterness. Kind of hurts to feel.]

[dontyoujustwish]

Are you in the wrong body as well? You wouldn't happen to be a woman, would you?

[goddammitaxel]

I'm in the wrong body, yes, but why is it important what gender I am?

[Please don't ask him to help you with something weird, please don't be like Larxene]

[dontyoujustwish]

Helping wronged women is a thing I used to do. I was in the vengeance business.

[goddammitaxel]

Interesting. Why just women, or is there no particular reason?

[dontyoujustwish]

Because men are evil.

Well, most men are. The rest are just very foolish.

[goddammitaxel]

[...]

Well, I can't disagree with that. Unfortunately, I'm a male no matter what. Can I make a vengeance request on behalf of a woman coworker who had issues against him?

[dontyoujustwish]

I'll consider it.

What did he do?

[goddammitaxel]

Well, he killed her, to begin with.

[dontyoujustwish]

This little thing? He doesn't look like he could kill anyone.

[goddammitaxel]

Yes, a lot of people made that mistake. Then again, he apparently didn't like to think of it as "killing people", so perhaps that helped ease any guilt.

[dontyoujustwish]

Was she a demon of some kind? That does help humans with the guilt issue.

[goddammitaxel]

Despite what we've been called as insults, no. She was something called a 'Nobody'- more or less human, I believe, besides missing her 'heart'. The emotional, more spiritual kind, not the literal kind.

[dontyoujustwish]

That's probably enough. "Soulless," "heartless," they like to throw those words around quite a bit to make themselves feel superior.

[goddammitaxel]

Hmm, I'm aware.

So, is that a good enough reason?

[dontyoujustwish]

I've never been able to grant the wish of a dead woman.

But I should think so.

[goddammitaxel]

Well, people return from being dead here all the time. It's not that strange.

[He grins, pleased. On Axel's face, it seems to come a bit easier, but that doesn't make it any less odd to experience.]

Good. I said I'd help, so. Where are you?

[dontyoujustwish]

That's very true. I'm supposed to be dead myself.

Oh- I think this is actually the same building. Larmline. Let me check the apartment number.

[Time to venture out of the bedroom... and be greeted by a small army of dogs.]

Ahh, down boys.

[goddammitaxel]

Alright.

[He can wait patiently. At least, until he sees all those dogs and perks up just slightly. Saix gives a sharp whistle and speaks over the SFC firmly.]

No, down. Sit.

[dontyoujustwish]

[That seems to work surprisingly well. Three of the four dogs sit, tails still thumping the floor, while the fourth one at least settles down enough for Anya to get past it.]

Is he a dog-sitter? This is an awful lot of pets.

[goddammitaxel]

They might all be his... I wouldn't know. He traveled with a talking dog for a long while.

[And since the dogs all listened, Saix starts to give them praise. He knows his way around dogs, having one himself.]

Good dogs. Now stay...
