Nutmeg here, welcome to my abode! Just don't get

any mud on the floor, or you'll hafta answer to

Hades. Yep, he's the main guy around here, but you

probably don't need me to tell you that. Anyway,

I've been workin' for Hades for a while now, but

we've known each other since my high school days. Of

course, Flame Boy always pressured me into selling my

soul back then. "Be a part of the in-crowd", He

said. "Meet exotic dead people!" Naturally, I

turned him down every time. Hey! I wasn't ALWAYS as

corrupted as I am now! Sure, I never met a martini I

didn't like, but that didn't mean I was up for

sellin' my SOUL or anything!

But the time finally came. I'd finished high

school, and I went on to pursue my dream. Yes sir, I

was now into the field of exotic dance, employed at

'Forbidden Fruit', a classy little joint in Athens.

Everything was great, until it happened. There was

this girl, Melissa, with whom I worked with. She was

a sweet kid, didn't belong mixed up in that sort of

lifestyle. We became excellent friends, but there

was a problem. Melissa had a heart condition, which

often impaired her ability to perform. She tried to

hide it. She managed to fool the boss, but she

didn't fool me. I begged her to get out of this gig

while she still could, but she just wouldn't listen.

'had to put food on her family's table', She said.

One night at the club, Melissa's life was being

threatened by a massive heart attack. Everyone

thought she was gonna die for sure. Then WHO should

suddenly pop into my life again? Flame Boy! So nice

of you to drop by during time of crisis! So as you

probably guessed, he stated the deal. "Your friend's

life for your soul, yadda, yadda, yadda." Of course

I wasn't going to let Melissa die, so I did it. And

from that moment on, I belonged to Hades.

It isn't so bad, though. I mean, by the time I came

along, all the 'help with the hostile takeover' gigs

were already taken. I guess you could say that my

specialty is givin' the Big Guy a massage whenever

his little immortal heart desires! And I mean

whenEVER!! Oy! It gets annoying sometimes! But I

digress.

So that's pretty much my story, hope I didn't bore

ya too much. ACK! I hear Hades callin'. Probably

eager for another rub down. :P Well, gotta go! :)
