[mal du pays]

"You know, Apollyon," the tone Origin held as he spoke to them made them noticeably flinch, "that all of this song & dance is worthless, right?"
"No, it's not!" They replied, although Origin's expression twisted into a smile. Apollyon could feel a sense of dread on their back as Riley's alternate drew closer to them.
"I know it's worthless. I've seen it with my own eyes. Everyone doing the same stupid little things over and over." Origin loomed over them. "Of course, I'm as much a part of this as everyone else is. But do you want to know the difference between us, starboy?"
Apollyon almost didn't want the answer, but they instinctively nodded.
"I've made a deal with god, and you haven't. I'll always be one step ahead of you, and in the end, Apollyon, I'll get what's mine. What was stolen from me."

funny guy time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wow
origin hours. i had a different title in mind but i forgot one of the words so i just made a different one
i thought it'd fit someone like origin who's built himself up to be this powerful guy who will get what he wants in the end (even if that's not going to happen. god does like to play his funny little tricks...)
