The unorthodox exorcist.

Did I not mention the part about tying them to chairs?

[✧ 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬. @tyrsdag]

No, I mean— you don't have a way to keep them from causing more harm while you're working?

[Edgar @OfHellAndHaunts]

"Trade secrets," Edgar answered, not inclined to give up any potential advantages,

"If I told you, then I'd have to exorcise you."

One day his sarcasm really would get him killed

That's what demons were like, known for their mind games, testing how far they could push a person's will, then pushing a little further.

Bee was still cautious of the weapons.

"What kind of things?"

I can't hurt them when it's not their fault.

I try not to, anyway.

If you get beat up by demons that often without any defense, it's safer to carry /something/.

[Edgar @OfHellAndHaunts]

"Ideally, no," he answered, feeling knocked off balance by the flirtatious tone. One hand squeezed the leather strap of his bag, the other slipping the dagger bag into it with a deft twist.

"I don't like resorting to sharp objects until I've tried a few other options first."

[ʟᴏʀᴅ ʙᴇᴇʟᴢᴇʙᴜʙ 🪰 @N0FLIES0NME]

They just expected an array of weapons.

"Maaaaybe. Ooh, what a big sack you've got", of course the demon /had/ to be suggestive while looking at the satchel.

"That's a big one~", referring to the dagger, but not wanting it poking into them.

"Got a target in mind?"

[Edgar @OfHellAndHaunts]

...Should I be walking around with a crossbow?

[✧ 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬. @tyrsdag]

Depends; for the difficult ones I spend 90% of it getting beat to shit.

Easier jobs, I don't even have to set down my coffee cup.

[✧ 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬. @tyrsdag]

Yes? How do yours usually go?

[Edgar @OfHellAndHaunts]

Google Search: how to explain to a man that you're not trying to "steal" his girlfriend, you're trying to purify her house

[Edgar @OfHellAndHaunts]

Is that how your exorcisms usually go?

[✧ 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬. @tyrsdag]

I meant... the demons.

[Edgar @OfHellAndHaunts]

Weapons... plural?

"What am I, Van Helsing?" Edgar grumbled, flipping open the satchel that hung across his body.

His weapons tended to be of the metaphysical variety, save for-

"You mean this?"

He allowed a glimpse of a ritualistic dagger.

[ʟᴏʀᴅ ʙᴇᴇʟᴢᴇʙᴜʙ 🪰 @N0FLIES0NME]

"Maybe, but that wouldn't be as much fun, would it?"

Definitely. Pointless, but worth a shot.

"Show me your weapons."

[Edgar @OfHellAndHaunts]

Wouldn't it be a bad idea to fully "match freak" with someone who's been possessed?

[✧ 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬. @tyrsdag]

Oh, I think... you have to mean it, but not everyone has it in them, and that's okay.

[Jaskier (S4) @HisLuteStrings]

I imagine being an exorcist is sort of like being a Witcher. Except without the swords, and without the enhanced body, and the fact that a real monster would probably eat him.
