[ Husk's fur bristles at hearing Alastor's name on his family's lips. He never wanted this. He wanted them to never, ever have to learn about what happened in his past life. He always figured if Alastor did show up, he'd be fucked anyway, so why add a layer of dread in their lives thy never needed. ]

They were and he...was.

[ He picks at his food, appetite down the trash chute no matter how hungry he is. ]

...So in my past life I was... a fuckin' Overlord in Hell. Bad news. Had my own shitty empire, owned people's souls and everything. I was a bad person which.... y'know, I was in Hell so what do you expect. [ His wings droop. ] But there was always someone worse out there. And Alastor was that. Worst of the worst, all of Hell were scared of him. But my stupid ass was getting desperate, losin' power and decided that I'd bet my own soul in a card game against him. And...well, you know what my luck's like.
