Angel, Lukyo and Glenn sit as quietly as possible, waiting for ages for the interview to finally start. Glenn already knows who her father is in the television and what he looks like, but even if he's never seen a picture of him he could tell, her and Lukyo both look down on people with the same expression. Sitting next to Charlie on the couch stands a beautiful and confident-looking woman, with an ebony skin-tone.. Angel felt intimidated just by seeing how powerful they come off as.

Standing opposite to the show's guest is the interviewer.

'Hello. I'm Lori Baldemar and welcome back to the Laurel Show. Ever since that... Terrifying Halloween night things haven't been the same. Charlie Zayan, the founder of the Satanic church and Kendall Dotyr, the priestess has accepted my invitation on the show and has agreed to answer some questions. What you're about to hear is profoundly terrifying but it is important for everyone to hear about this.' The interview says, speaking collectedly to the camera.

The camera frames both of the guests. 

'So why would you worship the Devil, is what I'm trying to understand. Aren't you afraid that you're going to burn in hell?' The interviewer asks.

'No.' Kendall responds, smiling nervously. 'Well, let's start with I'm this. I'm not a priestess, but a High Priestess. We don't believe in the Devil, nor hell for that matter.'

'Where is she from? She has a different accent than us.' Angel asks softly and swiftly.
'Who the woman in the pantsuit?' Lukyo asks.
'No, the socially-awkward one with the wiry hair.'
'She sounds Irish.' Lukyo says uncertain.

'I just don't understand how you can call yourself a Satanist and not believe in Satan. It just makes no sense.' The interview says, skeptically.

'Yes, it's-uh-hard to explain. We use the Devil as a metaphor. We don't see him as an actual entity.' Kendall blurts out, embarrassed.
'Satan literally means to oppose. We oppose God. It does not mean good opposing evil. It means that we completely reject the idea of a God.' Charlie says coldly. He thought that if he was going to wait for Kendall to explain they would have been there longer than they needed to and not give out any information to the audience.

'Then how would you explain all these malevolent creatures that have appeared since Halloween? I mean it's not a coincidence that Halloween is the Devil's birthday.' It's become pretty clear to Glenn that the interviewer is trying to make them look bad.
'Maybe to you, it's his birthday. To us it's a day where you celebrate the dead. We have never denied the existence of these creatures, but they are not the work of the Devil. They are demons, probably summoned by witches with little to no experience when it comes to magick, thought that they might have some fun on Halloween and ended up releasing them into our world.' Charlie.

Angel and Lukyo's eyes cross. They know that they are guilty of what's going on.

'Why would you want to have a demon around? Are they not dangerous?' The interviewer asks concerned.
'Yes... If you don't know what you are doing and are just doing it for fun or because you think it's  a game then yeah, it could get dangerous.' Kendall says.
'Exactly, if we were to contact one we wouldn't do it because it's a cool party game to entertain guests...! We would contact them to work with them.'

'...If you were to eh-as you say "Work with them" do you offer them the blood of an animal?'

'No, absolutely not. It says so in the bible-the Satanic bible, that animals and children are not to be harmed.' Kendall says, tempestuously.
'I stated very clearly in the bible that that other humans are not to be harmed, only if self-defense is your only and last option..! To us children and animals are the most natural and gifted of all witches, they are held in the highest regard so we actually see it as a sin to harm them.' Charlie says.
