Hidden Evil

When you first make a friend they're pure. Y'know we all have that one friend who just seems to be the most innocent thing ever and all new friends are like that. They just seem to be like a cherub among satanists, so pure and innocent and out of place. Just waiting to be corrupted. More often than not you sift through the new friends and absolutely destroy the innocence in most of them, except for one. One will always resist your temptations. One will remain innocent and resist even the most cunning of your efforts. More often than not, the evil will be so uncomfortable with the incorruptible that they will distance themselves from them. I did the opposite of that and became what was basically my character foil's best friend. For the most part I would trust her with my life and she's even done some illustrations for this comic. But as a best friend you discover things. Incredible things. You just find out shit that's so deliciously interesting about your friends and for me it all began with weird music taste.

While listening to music with her using the same earbuds I discoverd that the person who constantly apologizes, the person who has a Shi-Tzu, the person who once chastised me for making a joke about small furry animals is quite partial to death metal (Avenged Sevenfold to be specific) and some crazy techno shit that scared even me. Further inquiry and examination of phone music led me to the finding that Miss Innocent was a fan of anime. And not the cutesy animes, nah. Some full blown scaryass weeaboo shit like Madoka Magica.

To those of you blissfully unaware Madoka Magica is basically Powerpuff Girls, except the Girls are controlled by a sadistic evil cat thing and get murdered by horrible monsters. sometimes through very graphically depicted beheading (and remember, she's the kind of person who apologizes for apologizing). Although I was initially horrified I just passed it off as weird taste. Gradually, though, I slowly uncovered more. I found that while she had an extremely long fuse, it was connected to a ball of hand grenades around a core of C4, tied together with a net of dynamite. I also discovered that while the relaxed don't often hate, when they do. It radiates. I once witnessed the class prankster (who deals exclusively with painful or annoying pranks that barely even qualify as pranks) flee in terror only from feeling her rage from a distance.

But the final nail in the coffin? That came during a dance performance. The school had kindly once sponsored a theatre trip and we ended up at Riverdance. In the middle of the dance she turned to me and said exactly this "Y'know the person in front of me? I could do whatever I want to them. I could just stick my tongue in their ear and if they made a noise they'd get in trouble." At that point I was enlightened and now I truly know:
Nobody is incorruptible.
