Yaknow... that's the thing. In just about every story I've ever seen about Old Scratch, he plays by the rules.<<
He's honestly very similar to the Fae like that. Yes, the dice are loaded and the deck is stacked, but if you can manage to count the cards the House won't rake you for it. Lies are pointless when the truth is so much easier to trap you with.
>>And then there's the tale of Wicked John, who beats the hell (ahem) out of some lesser demons sent to get him to the point where Nick changes his mind and won't let him into Hell...<<
The Old Boy has some class, at least. And he stands up for his workers, nobody deserves to have to see the person who abused them at their workplace, Satan Bless it!
>>S'far as I can tell, if there is a pointy-tailed bad dude, he actually gives a shit, unlike some of the anatomy-groping jackholes in the other Washington.<<
Ain't that the FUCKIN' TRUTH, Brother. I'd take Mister Downbelow over the Cheeto in Chief any day.
