A/N: Originally, I intended that the reader would be sympathetic to Hooty. But, than I realized that I hate him.

Living in the Boiling Isles brought lots of questions of the evolutionary kind to the forefront of your thoughts.

At the moment, you live in a world whose biology was both similar and alien to you. You would get cases like witches, where — on the surface everything looked normal (aside from the general ear shape) but then have them cast literal magic.

(Did they have a special organ for it? Or was it just unexplainable?)

You wondered how much magic affected their evolution.

Than came demons, what was even going on with them? Why where they so unique? Can they all talk or only a few? Can they cast magic—

"So, why'd you call us here again?" Luz asks, unknowingly breaking you out of your inner-musings.

King also seemed to break out of his thoughts, "Oh, yeah."

You watch as he struggles to climb up onto a table. Behind the table something is hidden by a curtain.

"Humans, you've been so obsessed with witchcraft that you haven't learned anything about my kind. Prepare yourself for..."

King tears off the curtain to reveal a cork board covered in various pictures of demon. Some are hand drawn, while others look like they've been taken with a Polaroid camera.

"Demons 101!" King yells, putting on a professor's hat.

"Demons like me are grim tricksters of the twilight, creatures of sulfur and bone."

"And cute little paws." Luz adds, zooming in the camera on her phone.

King sighs, "And cute little paws. True." He states blandly.

King pulls out a small pen with a light-up feature at the end, and uses it to point to the photos.

"We live only to create chaos and misery. Our only weaknesses are purified water and passive‐aggressive comments. Sometimes." He mutters the last bit.

"Purified water, huh?" You repeat.

"Oh, you guys are sensitive." Luz says.

"Even demons have inner demons." King continues, tearing off a photo and revealing a drawing of a pinkish snarling demon with a spiked shell on it's back, "The most powerful demon of all is the Snaggleback. He's a‐‐"

"Bad boy!" Luz interrupts.

She uses her phone to put a filter on the image. With it saying stock phrases like; 'Fierce' and 'Big Shot'.

Luz continues to play on her phone, even when King continues.

"Luz, pay attention. This information could save your life someday." He chides.

"No, no. I am so paying attention. This is my paying attention face." Luz makes a face before nodding over and over again.

You let out an audible groan.
