Reply to [WP] In hell, people can choose what happens to them. They can choose literally ANYTHING. Naturally, many people try to exploit this by going for luxuries and pampering, but the devil ALWAYS has ways to torture those fools... by Crystal1501

He smiled, and gave them exactly what they wanted. It started as always with the things that in life would have been considered unrealistically, unattainably luxurious. An apartment, then a penthouse suite. A mansion. Servants, and then ones in every room. Attending to every whim. Slaves to carry one on their backs. Your own chaffeured car, jet, airline. Vacations all year round in all the most exotic locales, and then in ones which didn't exist. He always gave them exactly what they asked for, no monkey's paw twists, fulfillment in both word and spirit.

Their actual spirit, of course, never got fulfilled. Some may take forever to realise, which really is no issue in this line of work. But eventually, eventually, many of them come round.

First of course comes denial. Then anger. Raging at their slaves, their personal fiefdoms. At him who provided their every wish. You didn't fulfill it, they would scream. I didn't ask for this! He would have every patience with them. Yes, yes, they did. He figured out long ago that it was worse if he did not twist and pervert their every wish, but simply let them be exactly as intended. And let them suffer their own consequences, with an eternity of time for that to be played out.

Some would drive themselves mad after a while. Others would scream themselves hoarse, even in a realm where that was not possible - while the body never broke, their spirit could. Some just went through the motions after a while, and became a shadow of themselves. Some grew desperate and tried to figure themselves out of it through cleverness and intellect.

A rare few eventually saw the way, and gave it all up. Always took some time, for those who were coming to him in the first place, but a few actually figured it out, and then their penitence could actually begin.

It was all the same to him, really. He had all the time in the world, and no real preference on how they wanted to torture themselves.

Reply to comment by Remarkable-Youth-504 in [WP] The Clergy hates your eccentric ways, but you remain the best Exorcist and you love your job. You're only called upon to chase the strongest, fiercest demons. But your prayers are just for show, what really terrifies the spirits away is witnessing a demon powerful enough to take human shape... by Daedal75

picking up the cross, the one the priest had just been using as a weapon in the exorcism, and toying with it in front of the demon prince.

subtle but effective.

Reply to comment by john-wooding in [WP] The fights between the Superheroes and Supervillains are one big game of cops-and-robbers, just people with powers and costumes fighting each other and causing destruction while regular people just have to survive them. One day, a regular man goes out and just... kills one of the Supers. by DieterVonDietrich

Reply to comment by Mr_Woodchuck314159 in [WP] It is believed everyone is born with a superpower but every single superpower has highly specific activation requirements which nobody has the ability to know until it happens, forcing superheroes and villains to do very strange things to actually use their powers by PotentialSmell
