Today’s the “big day,” I guess! I’m feeling… nervous… about my first official service, but I think it’ll go alright! The whole “I can’t easily die” thing does give me a little extra confidence. I mean, really, what’s the worst that can happen to me now? If anything, should this service go haywire, I could… I don’t know, let loose, maybe? I’m really starting to feel the… well, I guess “hunger” inside me grow. It’s been almost a month since I last ate, and while it was a whole… you know… 185-pound feast, it’s starting to wear off.
Don’t worry, though!! I know we’re not exactly in the business of murdering or eating our customers. I don’t even think a Rougarou would taste particularly good, to be honest. And I mean, I think I can stave off this hunger for quite a bit longer until we find a better way for me to eat. I know No. 17 has been looking into some “ethical” sources of food for me. Though… I have been thinking, and if I do actually have demon blood in me, Asmodeus’ blood, and if I don’t eat and I become more demon than human… what would that actually mean for me? From what I’ve heard, demons are not all bad, are they?
Well, some are still bad, though, like Mrs. Brown. Before I became a Zombie, I actually probably would have thought Mrs. Brown was doing a good thing. Sort of. I don’t know if being ripped apart by a werewolf is a fair punishment for breaking a Lenten vow… but I don’t know… It’s not that hard to just stick to your promises, right? I guess I’m about to break mine, so am I really one to judge? Usually, I would make my vows something to do with abstaining from junk food, but that already seems pretty unappealing to me right now. So, screen time will have to work. Hopefully!
