But aye at every seven years, They pay the teind to Hell



the deal with the devil meme


Sometimes a deal with the Devil is better than no deal at all—because even if you pay for it in the end, at least you did something, right? But will that thing you asked for be twisted in some way, or will the Devil even keep his word? How do you know you’re not going to be tricked into a deeper hole? You don’t know… until you sign the contract.

WARNING: Depending upon how it is taken, this meme could have triggers! Please be aware of each other's limits ♥


directions

1. Comment with your character, series, preferences, etc in the subject.
2. Roll a number between 1-20 with the RGN for a prompt.
3. Decide who is the "devil," or the person making the biased deal.
4. Reply to other comments and play the scenario out!
5. Good luck winning that golden fiddle.

directions

1. CURE ➤ You are seeking a cure for something or someone, and it seems to be impossible. When the chance comes to cure them, will you hesitate? Even if it means that you might kill someone else or yourself?

2. DESPERATION ➤ You were desperate. You had no other choice. Captured or kidnapped or put in some other tight spot, the only way to get out of it seems to be to make an unholy alliance.

3. BROKEN ➤ You broke your promise, and the Devil doesn't like that very much. Can you escape his wrath or somehow appease him?

4. TWISTED ➤ He said he would do something for you, in return for this or that. But instead of stealing your hands to replace his, he really meant your hand in marriage. Or worse. Should have read the fine print.

5. VICTORY ➤ All you wanted was a single win, a chance to taste glory and triumph. But what did it cost you? What could it have cost others? What if you weren't meant to win?

6. CHANGE ➤ Change happens all the time, but sometimes, not fast enough or the way that we want them. If you could change your destiny or the past, would you? And would you watch as everything falls apart in your new reality?

7. REVENGE ➤ Oh, you know the Devil and how he works, but you don't care. He can twist his words as much as he likes, but you are more concerned with the end result. As long as someone pays, you're content with your doomed fate.

8. COLLECTION ➤ Hey, rent was due two weeks ago. Oh yeah, and some guy says that he has come to claim your soul? Seemed legit to me.

9. POWER ➤ One of the more classic reasons someone sells their soul to the Devil is for power. Political power? Magical abilities to smite your enemies? The ability to seduce or persuade anyone to do anything you want? What cost will it come to you?

10. DEATH ➤ No, no! You'll do anything to bring your loved one back, anything. You will give up your life, your soul, as long as they don't die. Please.

11. NO OTHER CHOICE ➤ Back against a wall, knife at your throat, what would make you so desperate to beg the Devil for help? Will he laugh in your face or perhaps have pity on you?

12. TRADE ➤ A life for a life, an eye for knowledge, there are all sorts of possibilities here. What will you give for what? Will it be as good as you thought it was? Will your sacrifice be worth it?

13. RELIEF ➤ It might be something odd to seek from someone so evil, but when all that is good and holy is tormenting you, the enemy of your enemy is your friend. Will he give you sanctuary or hand you over to your enemies?

14. FREEDOM ➤ We don't know how you did it, but you're free from your contract. No harm, no foul. Just don't do it again or tell anyone else how you did it. It's bad for business.

15. WILDCARD ➤ Is there another dream you wanted to do? Something we missed? Choose your own scenario? Go for it!

[The devil, or rather a trickster demon and agent of chaos masquerading as a granter of wishes. His wishes just tend to take nasty, Monkey's Paw turns for the worse that mean not only do you only get what you want from a certain point of view, you still give up everything to make it happen.

He's also a nasty piece of work himself, owing to the fact that he's basically on the bottom rung both of the demon ladder and the Wish Granters ladder, which puts regular dents in his enormous pride. Approach with caution.]

"Adam."

The voice spoke in quiet tones, a contrast to the noise and pain of Hell. He stood far enough back from the bars not to be seized by anyone's grasp but near enough to be heard. His blue eyes had fixed on Adam instead of anyone else that might be flickering in and about the Cage.

"Adam."

The name was repeated by the person outside. He didn't look all that spectacular to the human gaze. Trenchcoat, tie and cheap Supercuts hairstyle. Had it been one or ten years that Adam had been left in the Cage by his brothers? Castiel surely didn't know.

The man outside the Cage waited with the patience of the immortal. The demons didn't bother him, perhaps fearing the Winchester brothers that they whispered about among themselves.

Or maybe it was a new trick of Lucifer's: offer Adam escape only to laugh when it failed.

Who knew?

( omg please either corner this guy out of banishing your demon butt for good, or alternatively, I would absolutely love to wedge dear Ben into a terrible spot where he needs a solid favor, and only the devil is willing to provide. his biggest leverage is his uncle who raised him, so something like 1, 2, or 10 for that particular card. alternatively, 3, 11, or 13 are appealing for general reasons, he could be working for a particular devil/demon if there are other more malicious demons getting in their way, and absolutely has an advantage over Ben to have him take out an enemy of his enemy... also open to discussing if you want to PM! no permissions up yet but feel free to ask if you have curiosities.

edit to add: Ben also works closely with his 'guardian angel' (taken as literally as you like) especially in demon-banishings, and if something were to happen to them...Ben would absolutely be willing to do just about anything to recover them, so, that's another piece of leverage to play against my guy here, for flavor and intrigue.

"Well, well, well."

While it was John Constantine's voice that greeted her plea, the thing that stepped out of the alleyway wasn't him. It had none of the rough determination that the magician himself had. Something oily and sly twisted his familiar features, eyes gone red instead of their usual shade. His trenchcoat was gone, little surprise given that it had a life of its own. The tie hanging loose around his neck was clotted with some sort of stinking muck as if it had been crawling through a sewer.

The demon's smiling grin was cold and empty, devoid of any of John's sarcastic humour. It was a parody shuffling about, little better than a kid playing dress up.

"So what brings you here, love?" it lisped at her in John's voice, a growl lacing its words. "Looking for something? Someone?"
