In a way, yeah, it's a green glowing spiritual energy that flows beneath the surface...when you die the essence of who you were combines with this stream along with all of your knowledge, memories, experiences...so on and so forth. That's what they say anyway. [the picture quality goes bad and for a moment Reno can't be seen, he's playing with something off-screen and it doesn't take him long before he's back before he returns with a smooth, green, globular stone about the size of a golf ball.] When you condense energy from the lifestream you get this, magic...granted it doesn't work here...it's just a shiny green stone.

[Useless, but he keeps a hold on it because it's his and maybe he's a little sentimental...just a bit.]

Well, well lucky you. Family is a foreign concept to me, but loyalty is a trinket I find...practical. [If he can't have a family then he can have that at the very least.]

Hmmm...magic huh? Are there any side effects that come with accepting magic from these omniscient beings I know squat about? I find there's typically a price when dealing with any creature that makes its claim to godhood.

[Not that magic wouldn't serve him well in some capacity.

As for V's hatred, yeah, it seemed pretty palpable to him, or rather he saw the man like the implacable surface of a lake and talking about demons was like dropping a stone and causing ripples in the calm surface. Easy enough to cotton on to.] So, I should keep the demon talk to a minimum then, if you hate them so much.

[Reno would have to see what he could find in terms of catnip, for now, he wonders at the "not alone" bit.]

Not being alone, that's a good thing right?
