Restraining Rejection Letter
Randy: “I GOT HIM!”
Demon: “Get off me you son of a bitch!”
Randy: “I even hog tied the bastard with Angel’s special rope.”
RB: “Good.” RB walks into the room and shuts the door. “Hello, Demon.”
Demon: “Uh…RB! It’s so nice to see you. Long time-“
Randy: “Cut the bullshit!” Randy smacks Demon.
Demon: “I will so kill-“
RB: “Silence.” She drops a stack of paper on the floor in front of his face. “Do you know what that is Demon?”
Demon: “Um, paper?”
RB: “Yes. Paper with every query letter you sent out that included death threats. Now,” She drops another stack of paper. “Do you know what that it?”
Demon: “More paper?”
RB: “Aren’t you cute… Yes, paper that the police brought by my house. THEY SERVED ME WITH RESTRAINING ORDERS!”
Demon: “Wow! That’s some rejection letter. That’s gotta suck. Why would you send death threats to-“
RB: “I didn’t you evil sick twisted creature. You did, and don’t even try to lie about it. Angel got you confession.”
Demon: “Snitch.”
Angel: “I heard that.”
Demon: “So?”
RB: “So, I’m exacting Divine Punishment.”
Demon: “….no.”
RB: “Yes. Angel, he’s all yours.”
Demon: “NO!”
RB: “Yes, yes, and yes.”
Randy: “Oooo, can I watch?”
Angel uncorks a vile of holy water and pours it on a long narrow glowing blade.
Randy: “Whoa…maybe not.”
