IT HAD BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE HE WAS LAST CALLED UPON. In fact he could hardly remember his last summoning, save for the one that counted, of course. These days there weren't too many who knew of the ritual, lost in old tomes and dying with the old witches and warlocks who'd once delved into the darker magic, and those few who did know usually weren't foolish enough to summon a demon of all things. While it was certainly a powerful weapon for the summoner, it came at a great cost. The ritual had become forbidden long before it finally got lost in time. In fact it was so long ago and so underused that Vincent had began abandoning it himself, resorting to finding his own potential souls to collect. However he would be surprised when he felt an all too familiar pull, a smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. This certainly felt promising.

Seconds after the human had offered his soul, the demon had appeared right in the center of the sigil, a dark figure with horns and a tail and eyes that glowed menacingly in the dim light. He cocked his head to the side slightly as he looked at his new 'master' and evaluating the situation he was in. "And what makes you think you deserve my assistance?" he questioned, flashing off a rather dangerous set of teeth as he spoke, his tail whipping around in an agitated manner behind him. But he was not angry, in fact he looked rather amused, those teeth pulled into a vicious smile. "What makes you think you can control me?" he went on, taking a step closer to the bloodied man, daring him to prove himself. "In fact, what's stopping me from killing you right now?" he finished, leaning in close, checking to see this man's resolve.

THIS MAN HAD RESOLVE, ALRIGHT. With nothing to lose, the man had looked, fucking laughed into the face of the demon with such boldness that it had managed to impress the demon, if not for his words that followed shortly after. Obviously this was no mere human and that only served to intrigue the dark creature even more. He half wondered what this man's tale was, but apparently he wouldn't really have the time to find out as hunters were on his way. Oh good. Not only was he summoned in a cell, but it was apparently one manned by hunters. He supposed it wouldn't be fun if it were easy, though, would it? The things he did for souls.

"I'm afraid sass is included in this contract." he sighed mockingly before a dark expression graced his features, the demon holding out a clawed hand that glowed with flames in contrast to the pale-haired man's water. "Let's seal the deal, shall we?" he inquired, waiting for the man to take his hand. It would only hurt for a moment, but his fate would already be painful by the end of this so surely he could bear a little pain now. "Do be quick or else I wont be of much help." he chuckled. He really hadn't much to fear. He'd dealt with enough hunters in his time and he was confident he could get out of this, with or without the human.

The moment Levi would take his hand, the demons grip would tighten, holding it firm while a sigil, his mark, would be burned in the palm of his hand, marking him as claimed. His soul belonged to him now. "I'll enjoy torturing you when the time comes." he smirked. Stronger souls were always more fun to play with, after all.

"BEGGARS CAN'T BE CHOOSERS," he offered simply with a nonchalant shrug. It was quite obvious that the man must have been desperate to stoop so low. It kind of made you wonder who was really in need of who here. Unfortunately, while he would be guaranteed a soul by the end of this endeavor, the fact was that from this moment on, he'd be the human's to control. He'd grown used to this sort of deal of course as you sort of had to adjust after doing this for over five hundred years, but who knows? Maybe this man could prove to be interesting company. So far he seemed to be rather amusing, but how much would the demon be able to take before his temper flared up?

The threat of death (especially over such a petty thing) only made the demon laugh, clearly not too afraid of the man, as bold as he was. Then again, Vincent wasn't afraid of much these days. "You'll be fine, princess." he rolled his eyes, taking the man's hand in his larger one, the flames etching his skin into a permanent and rather unique scar. It wasn't a messy process and as painful as he was told it was, it seemed the hunter was taking it rather well. Perhaps a little too well, even. Such strange creatures, humans were. Always managed to surprise him!

With the seal out of the way, Vince watched as the human replaced his glove, quirking a brow as he stated he'd get some fun out of this arrangement. He really didn't have anything to lose! That or he was fucked up in the head, which would hardly come as a surprise to him. Nor did it really matter, the demon scoffing in wry amusement. "No, be brave all you want. In fact, I prefer it that way. Makes it far more enjoyable when I have something to break down." he smiled in a friendly manner that hardly looked innocent. Vincent enjoyed a good challenge really and this human certainly was promising. Unfortunately there was little breaking he could really do at the moment without breaking the contract, but never mind that. They had more important things to be concerned with.

Jumping right into it, the human already set orders and of course the demon felt compelled to obey. "Such a needy human." he sighed wearily before reaching for the cuffs, grabbing the small length between, hoisting him to his feet. "Do stay still, would you? I'd hate to rip your hands off." he explained, grabbing each end of the cuffs. With a little bit of heat to speed up the process, Vincent used all his strength to snap the chain in two. They weren't exactly removed completely, but the human would have to deal with it for now, like it or not, especially since he could hear rushed footsteps coming closer. Looks like the fun was really about to get started. The demon smirked darkly at the thought, awaiting the poor soul who happened to show up first.

HE WAS KNOWLEDGEABLE, enough to know the conditions of the contract at least. It would make it easier so he wouldn't have to explain, but also more difficult. The human seemed to realize Vincent was in his complete control. If he tried to breach the contract he could risk losing his soul which was certainly not something he wanted to do. He'd actually have to behave to an extent, which was something he was still in the process of learning after all these years. His eyes narrowed the slightest, revealing his annoyance at that fact. However, just because he had to obey him didn't mean he wouldn't do so without attitude. If the human had been expecting a very compliant demon, he certainly was out of luck.

He snickered at the sound of that venomous tone of his, the human clearly not pleased with his treatment. "A little bit of both, actually." he replied simply with an innocent smile. He was in a rush, so he figured that being gentle and careful would take far too long! Or maybe he just wanted to show some rebellion, proving he could in fact put up a fight if wanted. Still, he had obeyed and while Levi might not have been happy with how it was done, the fact was, it was done.

Vince quirked a brow as the human spoke again, chuckling to himself at the last bit. Way to feed his ego! "You can do whatever the hell you want." he began. "Just don't get in my way, I have a hard time telling you humans apart." he warned, being partially serious. If his new master was stupid enough to get in the line of fire, he probably deserved getting burned a bit more.

With that settled though and the footsteps just outside their view, the demon took a deep breath and just as one of the hunters had managed to approach the cell, a large burst of fire shot through, enveloping the mortal with fierce and hungry flames. He might have screamed had the fire not sucked out every bit of air from the poor man's lungs along with his life as he crumpled to the floor shortly after. You could hardly recognize that what once lied there was even human anymore after the flames died out. But there really was no time to admire his work as the others were shortly behind the first, only distracted by their fallen ally for so long. It was long enough for the demon to take action though.

The moment the demon had the opening, he shot out of the cell and blindly lunged at the group, taking another hunter out with one clean sweep of his claws, disarming another with his tail, effortlessly pulling the gun right out of his grip and tossing it out of reach, leaving the hunter seemingly defenseless. Did they really only send three to investigate? Vincent felt almost insulted! But it seemed like more would be on their way as the spared hunter had already made a run for it, likely to warn the others.

A LOT OF HUFFING AND SCOFFING, his new master was clearly already tired of his shit. Unfortunately, as he had to deal with the human, Levi would simply have to deal with the ever so charming demon. He had the upper hand in a lot of things, of course, but you couldn't change a man's personality. Nor could you really change your fate. Whatever happened up to the end happened and already all that Vincent was concerned about was taking that soul of his. Sure, he had a while to go. But that didn't mean he couldn't be excited for it! Nothing got a demon so happy as stealing a soul. Well maybe killing was up there, but souls were personally a favorite for the demon for obvious reasons.

"Whatever you say, human." he chuckled. The hunter was probably pretty decent at fighting, there were some out there who were pretty skilled. But Vincent was an older and stronger demon than what the hunter was probably used to dealing with so underestimating him wasn't really the wisest of moves. Not that he could necessarily do anything about it, unfortunately, so he'd simply have to let the man continue to talk shit.

As for the nitwits, they were disposed of pretty quickly, Vince not even breaking a sweat. Well most of them. Rather than chase after the runaway, Vince watched with disinterest as he fled out of sight before returning his attention to Levi as he spoke. The demon gave a nonchalant shrug in response. "Maybe I wanted to make things more fun. That was pretty disappointing." he reasoned with a yawn, looking down to the two fallen hunters, one bleeding and the other still frying and becoming extra crispy. Vincent wasn't that stupid though. Hunters have improved over the years, as much as he didn't want to admit it, and were becoming more and more efficient at taking care of the supernatural creatures. Likely they were already prepared for demons and if he wasn't careful things could actually get messy. So he could only agree with the human about getting out of there, already far too tired of the scene.

Following after Levi, Vince would quirk a brow at his next question, having not expected that. "Depends on the wall." he stated simply, no use lying about it. While he was incredibly strong, he did have his limits. It would have to depend on the structure as well as the thickness of the wall. But with enough power he was sure he could manage. Not that it really mattered as the human already seemed to have a plan and Vincent would simply have to go along with it.

VINCE WAS OBVIOUSLY NOT SURPRISED BY THAT STATEMENT, only smirking in response. He'd expected as much. The human wore gloves for one which could have meant many of things had he not threatened him earlier about getting dirty. He was also straightforward and to the point, overall just proving how much more serious the man was in comparison. Quick and clean seemed to be the man's style which, sadly, wasn't really Vincent's way of going about things. He had a feeling the long haired male would only get more annoyed with his 'fun' in the future.

Not quick enough to try and get out of here though, deciding to waste time by making introductions. He was a tad surprised by his apparent name, however, having not expected to hear that one again, especially on a hunter no doubt. Before he could dwell on that too much, it was his turn, only it was interrupted as Levi suggested giving him a very creative nickname if he tried to avoid it. It caused the demon to pause for a moment, considering it. "What the fuck is fluff about me anyway?" he questioned, stalling a bit. But before the impatient human, Levi, could jump to conclusions, he decided to behave, if only because he found the nickname both demeaning and uncreative. "I'm going by Vince these days." he explained, rolling his eyes at that dumb grin plastered on his face. The human just thought he was so clever.

Vincent trailed a little behind Levi, deciding if anyone knew this place best out of the two of them, it was likely the hunter. Sure enough, they ended up stumbling upon an almost hidden door that lead further in, stopping them only when they reached the secured door. The human seemed rather disappointed with the sight for just a second before starting on the lock. That would be his contribution as he'd turn back to the demon shortly, asking that he open the door. Oh? Not ordering him this time? How strange. Still, rather than put up a fuss, the demon approached the door, lifting his foot to place against the obstacle, assessing it. "Piece of cake." he assured, lifting his foot off for only a moment before giving it a swift and powerful kick, causing visible damage to the poor door as well as tugging at the bolts that were barely able to hold on. One more kick and the door flew off it's hinges, crashing onto the other side.

A BIT FOREBODING, Vincent wasn't too happy about his willingness to make the ridiculous nickname work and he wasn't sure he wanted to find out how he was going to do so. He tried not to make it too obvious, so as not to encourage this behavior, but he did grunt in displeasure at what could have very well been his means of punishment should he 'annoy' his new master. Kind of a weak punishment, but one that might hurt his pride a bit were other demons about. Oh yes, this would be fun, he could already tell.

To say he was surprised by the lack of a comment about his work would have been a lie. He should have known, but he felt just slightly annoyed that his power hadn't at least been acknowledged. Who was the needy one now? Did he really need praise for his actions. Hardly. He just wanted the human to recognize just what sort of demon he'd summoned. He was no low level beast. He was a six hundred year old demon with plenty of experience and strength to back him up and certainly one of the more dangerous demons a human could summon. But maybe he was just a tad biased to think that way.

Oh well, he didn't worry about it too much, deciding he'd rather get out of this place while it was still an option. He could take a small group, sure, but he didn't know how many hunters were here and he honestly didn't want to get overpowered by them. That would be a real jab to his pride! Being overthrown by a bunch of pathetic humans. "Gladly." he finally replied as he followed after him, eager to get out of this stuffy place. Of course he was still going to be stuck with one hunter for what could have very well been a long time. Best not to think too much about it.

"What exactly is your plan once we get out of here?" he questioned as they traversed up the stairs. They would very well get out if he had something to say about it, but what were they going to do after that? And there was also the issue that they could try to track down Levi again which would always be fun. Vince just always happened to find himself serving the most fun masters, after all. He rolled his eyes at the thought.
