What is the Hivemind?

...hmm....how thankful?

Ambiguously.

**horns extend from forehead**

HATE when that happens (pushes horns back in.)

Eesh.

Um, thankful enough to thank you piblically? Twice?

Not enough to sign this little contract I have?

*sigh* Can't fault a devil for trying. :\

And my thanks for the diabolical discourse.

Um.. No. But I do have a question about those things. I've been arguing with someone, and a Devil could clearthis right up. If I sign a contract to you, for my soul, in my blood, then then I switch bodies with someone else, do I still owe you my soul, or does the person who's in my body now owe theirs?

Can depend on the contract but 99% of the time, the contract follows the soul.
Blood is just an extension of the contract and ties to the soul, not the body
the blood came from : much like a legal contract doesn't rely on the pen used
but the pen user. Some contracts are bodily-based, and that's when the terms
include the body ("I'll give you fame and fortune if you give me your body
every night...") and, in that case, the soul-swapped victim is <ahem> screwed.

You sure you don't want to sign....can give you anything you want....anything....small price....

Can you sell someone else's soul? Say I traded a pudding for it in 5th grade...

If you've got documentation, then absolutely --- fair barter for fair trade.
No minority laws in the realm of the hereafter.

If you don't have documentation, well, then you'd have to get the person's
signature. Verbal contracts in the underworld are bad business.

Sure you don't want to trade your soul? Give you a good price for it.

Damn i... Err. I mean, fooey.

Why bother selling someone else's soul, though? I mean, if you sell a soul, aren't you going to hell anyways?

Not necessarily. A contracted soul cannot be redeemed while a seller of a soul
could be -- usually a soul-seller later repents and may prevent more
souls from being sold through their acts.

Anything you want, Kemrain. What is your greatest desire. All for the price of
one soul. What are you doing with it anyway?

It's small and soft, I use it like a stuffed animal.

So, what kinds of deals could you make with a devil? Could I wish for thigns counter productive to Hell? Like, that X many people can't be accepted into the pit, or that Y demon is destroyed? Or would those be worth more than one soul?

The Economics of Hell... Sounds like a book waiting to happen.
