So what do demons do all day

[Jupp]

What's scary is how closely this mirrors an actual day on the job where I work. :\

Disappointing lack of succubus foursomes, though. :\

Time for more abyssal coffee. Yeesh.

What scares me a bit is that you left the lunch time thing in the list

Well, if you are a demon of some position/fame, you can requisition some cultist/damned souls/underlings for the evening.

Bazzel-Bob to Aabyssal-Joe; I have to get a better job, all I do is whip these damn souls all day, what kind of job is that! It is a rut and dead end job and any freaking imp could do it! There is also no reward, all I ever get from the boss is a lashing myself. To top that off I here they are automating the 99th level to do away with whippers, replacing them with undead whippers. I got to get into management or special projects, at least they get to use hot irons on the damned souls!

Ah, this explains it. I'm just not important enough in the company to warrant, uh, "requisitions."

What, eating sole? It's nice fish especially when lightly breaded.

Actually Dante's inferno is more what I would expect Devil's to be like... You want demons read Miltons Paridise Lost.

Repeat

So what theme song plays in the background - "Takin' Care of Business" or "Workin' in a Coal Mine" ?

I'm thinking some of them design "broken" cards and pieces for collectible games...you know, the ones that get banned from play right before the first tournament?

The really crafty ones design "broken" units and then ensure that its the non-broken core units are the ones that get banned after a particular egregious combo involving the non-broken units and the broken units shows up.

And, for the record, the song playing in the background is a badly scratched techno-remix maxi-single of Motley Crue's "Home Sweet Home" that keeps skipping and sticking...on infinite repeat.

Maybe they play full contact chess? Well its not like they'd hurt each other for long anyways. For a touch of the slightly bizarre, the head honcho has 32 of his underlings as the pieces.

I read a book about "mind vampires" where a couple of them liked to play chess using their mind control on their victims and whenever a piece took another, they killed the fallen piece and a couple of people hurried in to clean the body. I could see something like that except instead of mind control, they simply used "I'm more powerful than you so you do what I say or you die" instead.
