[Mary stares into his watch, expression stoic, guarded. He immediately ruins this image with the fact that he has a bubble pipe in his mouth and is wearing a deerstalker hat over his cat ear hoodie. He blows some bubbles before removing the pipe from between his fangs.]

What were you doing last month on the night of the full moon?

[This is how you investigate things. Right?]

Oh! And right before you came through the mirror.

What? A monster with-

[Zack bursts out laughing. Oh my god??]

No-! I mean a headache. I had a splitting headache. God... I hope to hell my head doesn't actually split into two heads...

[bloodyuseless]

Oh! Oh...

[Is that better? Probably for Zack, it is. Mary breathes a soft sigh of relief.]

You didn't grow a horn or anything?

[activatingcombatmode]

Yeahhh.

[Zack still laughs lightly. He shifts his head down so that Mary can see through the video connection that he's got two large looking and curled horns coming in. They're black so they sort of blend in with his hair color but they're still noticable.]

I've got two horns coming in.

[bloodyuseless]

[Mary's eyes widen to the size of soccer balls.]

Woah, they're real! Real horns! Two of them!

[activatingcombatmode]

[Why does Mary look so impressed?? But it makes him feel a little better. Maybe they aren't as bad as he first thought?]

They're real horns! What do you think? Don't look like some sort of ogre, do I?

[bloodyuseless]

I thought ogres were green. You look more like a demon!

[He says with zero bad intentions.]

[activatingcombatmode]

[He coughs... !! He can't help but pat one of his horns with a very unsure look on his face.]

A demon? For real?! Man ... I can't believe that.

[This is the worst comparison. He doesn't want to be a demon!]

[bloodyuseless]

Is it... Is it that weird?

[Demons are at least cooler than vampires!]

[activatingcombatmode]

... Yeah? Who wants to be called a demon? Aren't demons bad monsters?

[Like murder the innocent, monsters??]

[bloodyuseless]

Aren't ogres bad monsters too?

[Oh no, he's so confused now. He didn't mean anything bad by it, honest!]
