HELLO GARBAGE HUMAN

You're killing my buzz by not picking up, homeslice! Call me before I find you!

It's Michael by the way!

[A few days later, curiosity gets the better of John. In a moment of quiet when the other residents of the mill house are fast asleep, he grabs his phone to text.]

Got your message. The one calling me a garbage human.

[buttreset]

Took you long enough to get back.

I don't have anything to say to you. Not even how poorly stocked you keep the fridge and how I'm tired of filling it.

Nor will I mention that I've decided to stay for an unspecified amount of time.

[inconstantly]

[John is about to make a retort about the refrigerator when he reads the text further. That bomb stops all other trains of thought.]

You'd best get to mentioning it fast, Michael. What's this about?

[buttreset]

Oh now you want to talk to me.

[ Picking up your phone once and a while might do you some favors, John. ]

[inconstantly]

Yeah. So explain what you're on about and you'd better do it quick.

[buttreset]

Did you just delete my message?

[inconstantly]

no

[buttreset]

Yes you did.

[inconstantly]

i didn't just delete your message

i deleted your first message several days ago

[buttreset]

OK.

That's fine. I'm not upset.

It will be easier to talk to you in person anyway since we will be sharing the same space.

phone call!

[inconstantly]

[Michael wants a call, he's got one. And the second he picks up he'll hear John coming in hot on the other end.]

For the third fucking time, tell me why you're taking up permanent residence.

[buttreset]

[ Michael answers on the first ring and couldn't sound happier to carry on a conversation. ]

John! Good to hear from you. You've got the space-- I don't see what the problem is.

[inconstantly]

You set fire to the kitchen on a regular basis, I've only known you for two weeks, and you don't pay rent. Pick one.

[buttreset]

Because your currency means nothing to me. Frankly I can't imagine anyone paying to live here.

[inconstantly]

Everyone pays something to live somewhere. That's the way the human world works.

[buttreset]

If we're following that logic, I've paid you handsomely in free food and drinks.

You know, those drinks you like so much.

[inconstantly]

Are you homeless?

[buttreset]

No. I'm staying here.

[inconstantly]

Besides here.

[buttreset]

Nah, man. I just need some time away from the ol' roost. You know, clear my head and learn something about making people miserable.

That's my job.

[ Stop being so damn nosy, John. ]

[inconstantly]

I know it's your job. That's why I'm not too keen on helping you get off by torturing me.

[It's a demon in his house. He's going to have questions.]

[buttreset]

You think I'm here to torture you? Ha!

You're so dramatic sometimes, John.

[inconstantly]

You're a demon, you're following me around, and like you said, it's your job.

You can see where I'd get the idea.
