Character History:

Ruby was a human once upon a time, alive during the Black Plague in Europe in the 1350s. It’s implied that she lost at least one loved one to the Plague as she’d told Sam she knew how it felt to lose someone. Astaroth found her and gave her an out from the plague, possibly even a way to avoid death by teaching her witchcraft. But, even with her newfound power there’s no way to not pay the price for her magic. Her soul eventually lands in Hell where she endures centuries of torture. It changes her, forces her to lose most of what had made her human and consequently she becomes a demon herself. She even follows the demon religion of worshipping Lucifer.

But, not all demons are meant to stay in Hell. She escapes with other members of Azazel’s army through the Devil’s Gate in Wyoming. She possesses a blonde woman and sets to following Azazel’s main target: Sam Winchester. She was doing what she could to keep him out of trouble while he and Bobby tracked the Seven Deadly Sins, staying as much out of sight as she could. She does eventually step in to kill Gluttony and Greed when they go after Sam and eventually kills Pride thanks to Sam’s help. Rather than take the opportunity to introduce herself, she maintains her level of sass by giving him a not!answer of “I’m the girl who just saved your ass” and disappears back into the night.

It’s hard not to cross paths with him again given that she was basically stalking him, maintaining a cover of a hunter when pressed. A hunter that knew about Azazel and his kid project, or “special children” as he called them. She gave him just enough information to direct him towards doing some homework of his own about his mother and her friends/relatives to find out who killed them. When Sam finds out it was Azazel, he later confronts her and puts her in such a position that she has to reveal that she’s a demon. Relying on her quick thinking and sharp tongue, she offers to help on the one thing that they need the most help on; Dean’s deal to sell his soul in order to Save Sam’s life. It’s a thinly veiled deal because she also gets something out of it, a budding trust with Sam and a chance to watch him find out more about himself.

It’s enough of a chance to earn Sam defending her to Dean, playing on the inherently good nature of Sam and his quest to protect those he loves. Following her habit of popping in on people, she drops in to see Bobby while he’s working on restoring the magic of the Colt. He shoots her, but it doesn’t kill her considering he hadn’t succeeded in fixing it. All it does is cause a little sting for her and ruin a shirt. He takes her up on her offer to fix it, another olive branch towards earning trust and making herself seem genuine. Why would someone out to hurt them fix something that could kill her? She slowly starts working her way into influencing Sam by pushing him to take the Colt after Bobby brings it to the boys while they’re on the hunt and take action. While he does eventually kill two demons with it, it’s not enough for Ruby. She gets into an argument with Sam and threatens to take the Colt and give it to someone who’ll actually do something with it.

Her prod gets the rise out of him she’d been hoping for when he threatens to kill her with the gun. She takes that opportunity to remind him of their deal, that if he kills her she wouldn’t be able to help him save Dean’s soul. She even goes so far as to refer to herself as the “little fallen angel” on Sam’s shoulder. It’s a slow process for her of winning him over and doing what she can to worm her way into his confidence, enough so that it’s starting to get her a bad rap with the other demons. Especially when Sam uses the Colt to threaten the crossroads demon Dean made the deal with.

Continuing on her path to earn the Winchester’s trust, she urges them to leave the town they’re in while investigating a coven of witches. This is both for professional and personal reasons considering her ties to the demon leading the coven. She warns them that the demon will go after Sam, but is met with hostility from Dean who tries to shoot her. Sam intervenes and her warning goes unheeded, leading to Dean almost dying from internal bleeding. Ruby falls back on a different set of skills: her witchcraft. She creates a potion potent enough to save Dean from whatever force had caused the injury.

Ruby saves them yet again from Tammi, the witch who was almost successful in killing the brothers, although her attempt to kill Tammi with a knife fail. The brothers find out that Tammi was actually Astaroth - the demon Ruby had sold her soul to all those years ago. Dean does what Ruby couldn’t, killing Astaroth with Ruby’s knife - a knife that has the power to not only kill most demons but also hellhounds. She takes a different approach with Dean, offering a closure of sorts rather than the hope that had been offered to Sam. Ruby gives him an insight into what’s waiting for him in Hell, some information on how demons lose their humanity - how she’s different. How she was able to keep a bit of hers and maintain her desire to help humans rather than hurt him. She also admits that she wouldn’t be able to save Dean from Hell, but with his help they’d be able to hopefully get Sam ready to fight the demons after Dean’s gone.

Things quickly go downhill for them as the demons break more seals and get more aggressive. Ruby tracks them down in a police station, able to sneak through a broken salt line in order to deliver a message. She tells them Lilith sent the demons and has a solution to the problem outside. She tries to get Sam on her side, filling him in on how she has a spell that will vaporize all the demons within range… Including herself. Both Sam and Dean would have been on board if it weren’t for the sacrifice needed to make the spell work - a virgin. One of the people in the station volunteers, but it’s not good enough. Rather than waste time trying to argue who the cost of one life could save the others, she leaves. Dean moves forward with his plan to open the doors and have a showdown with the demons. The boys make it out alive, thinking they’ve won, at least until Ruby shows up at their hotel room later and tells them to turn on the TV and then drops the bomb that all the people they thought they’d saved had been killed by Lilith.

She stops trying to win them over at that point, taking a little break from it as Dean gets closer to his own doomsday. Waiting for that last burst of desperation. While she isn’t exactly as present as she was before, her work on Sam hadn’t been lost. Sam still has enough faith in her that he wants to summon her to try to find one last way to get Dean out of his contract - even when Dean tells his brother what she told him, he still tries. There’s nothing else he can do at that point, and that’s exactly where she wanted him. Desperate enough to actually hear her out. He wants her knife to kill Lilith, the demon holding Dean’s contract. Ruby admits that she’s known who’s had it the whole time but she couldn’t tell him until he was ready to hear it. While it may feel like a betrayal, she holds steady to the fact that she never lied to him.

And that’s when she gives him a new little tidbit to chew on. She tries to get him to accept her help in facing Lilith, that he has the power to kill her but he shouldn’t try to do it alone. She wants him let her teach him how to use his power, but ends up arguing with Dean. He believes that she’s just using Sam and trying to turn him evil. The argument turns physical and no matter how mad she is, it’s useless once they lure her to a Devil’s Trap and steal her knife. If she wasn’t pissed off before, that’s enough to send her over the edge. She screams at Dean, viscous words coming out about her hopes on his experiences in Hell and how she wishes she could be there to hear him scream while being tortured. They leave her there, but she manages to escape the trap and track them back to Lilith.

All she wants to do, honestly, is get her knife back and peace out with Sam. Leave Dean to die. But, instead her plans get ignored and she gets dragged along while they run. The little girl Lilith had been possessing was human again, but that was about the only good news in the house Lilith had turned into her playground from Hell. Sam asks her again for help, but she has to break the bad news that it’s too late for him to figure out how to use his powers to save his brother.

Or, rather, the words sound like Ruby but the meatsuit she’d claimed had been taken over by Lilith. They find out that Lilith had sent Ruby “far, far away” and after Lilith leaves the blonde body, the meatsuit is dead and Dean is in Hell.

But, that’s not the last of Ruby.

While Dean was in Hell, Ruby had taken the opportunity to get back to her original goal of getting closer to Sam. She’d broken into his hotel room with another demon after Dean’s death, taking down drunk Sam and getting her knife back. She fills him in on where she’d been - how Lilith had sent her to a nasty part of Hell before giving her a chance to be released on the condition that she find and kill Sam. But, she doesn’t go through with her end of the deal - instead killing the demon that had accompanied her. She’d expected Sam to have a stronger reaction and is clearly frustrated when he doesn’t give it to her. She tries to get him to understand just how much pain she’d gone through and the risks she’d taken to get back to him. How much she’d sacrificed for one person. Even with her story, though, she doesn’t lie to him - admitting that she still doesn’t have a way to save Dean’s soul. She follows his orders to get out of the body she’d been possessing, a secretary, but she doesn’t leave him alone. Not like he wants.

She takes a new body, one of a comatose Jane Doe from the hospital who’d been declared brain-dead to help Sam deal with his moral dilemma about possessions. It’s soul had already moved on, meaning no conflicting questions about what would happen after. Persistent as ever, she goes back to Sam - offering new information. Information about Lilith and how she’s planning something “apocalyptic big”. She offers again to teach him what she knows, how to use his powers to not only stop the other demon but get some much needed justice for Dean… But there’s a caveat. She asks for both patience and sobriety, which he agrees to. She can see him getting frustrated when they start out, opting to open up a little about her past - explain that she knew what it was like to lose someone and tries to convince him that time would help heal his wounds. She offers a more vulnerable side of herself before pushing him to the point that he cracks and she manages to seduce him - take their relationship to a new level.

Sam eventually follows his Dudley Do-Right instincts when he finds omens, under the impression that they’ll lead him to Lilith. Ruby tries to be the voice of reason, that he’s not ready and Lilith would kill him. She even tries a different tactic, bringing up his brother and how this wouldn’t be what he’d want. It backfires on her, driving him to threaten her with her own knife to stop her from interfering with his own plans. But, she doesn’t leave him to his own mess - instead following him into the trap where he’s attacked by two of Lilith’s demons. She manages to take down one, but is overpowered by the other. The other demon takes the opportunity to remind Ruby of what’s waiting for her back in Hell and just how much torture she’s going to have to endure. But, despite the demon’s words, he lacks the punch thanks to Sam successfully exorcising the demon with his powers before he can send her back to Hell.

They continue their work, clearly comfortable with each other as their relationship continues to develop. At least, until Dean comes back from Hell. Without missing a beat, she plays dumb when Dean and Bobby show up at Sam’s hotel room door - the one she opened with no pants on. She acts like a one night stand who’s name Sam can’t seem to get right, something that earns fake disappointment. Sam maintains the illusion, supporting the idea that Ruby hadn’t come back after the Lilith incident. Laying low, she keeps an eye on Sam - even going so far as to compliment his technique when he’s alone in a diner exorcising a demon with his powers. She’s as baffled as he is by Dean’s return, having done a little digging to try and find out how it happened. She actually seems a little rattled by the idea of something being powerful enough to not only rip Dean out of Hell, but return him to his body. When she brings up a different topic, the one of what they’ve been doing while Dean was away and if he planned on telling his brother, she isn’t exactly pleased with his request for time. That’s not an answer, just an evasion. While she may have a very strong dislike for Dean, she’s not stupid. She knows how much he means to Sam and reminds him that if Dean finds out on his own, he’ll be pissed. She also offers to put their training to the side to not get in the way of the brothers, maintaining that little bit of selflessness she’d previously had - almost like she’s still trying to prove herself to him. Sam shoots down her offer, though.

So, she keeps to the shadows - sneaking in to see him when he’s on his own. She hasn’t exactly been twiddling her thumbs while away, however. Ruby’s been trying to find out as much as she can about Dean’s resurrection, bringing whatever she learns back to Sam… Like what she’d just heard through the grapevine. That it had been an angel. When Sam confirms they’re thinking the same, she’s quick to bow out. She’s not stupid and as much as she likes Sam, it’s not worth her death. She fills him in on how if it’s an angel, she’d be killed instantly just because of what she is. It wouldn’t matter how much she was helping them in their fight against Lilith to keep Lucifer locked up. It’s clear how much even the idea of an angel terrifies her.

She doesn’t stay away for long, doesn’t hit the road never to be seen again. She keeps up with the secret meetings with Sam, picking him up in her car - an orange 1970 Mach-1 Mustang - to keep training. Despite her fear of the angels, she needs to make sure Sam’s ready to face Lilith. They capture a demon and she watches Sam use his powers to exorcise the demon after he refuses to cooperate and give up info on Lilith. Ruby’s proud of Sam’s use of his powers, how he’s not getting headaches anymore and the fact that the meatsuit’s still alive. Shit hits the fan, though, when Dean shows up and almost manages to kill Ruby with her own knife once he realizes who she is after she offers him a trademark smile.

Sam manages to keep both of them from killing each other, keeping her own temper somewhat in check despite Dean’s way of bringing it out. It’s clear just how under Sam’s skin Ruby is when he defends not only her but their actions to Dean, throwing it in his face that they’ve saved more people’s lives with his powers than Dean could’ve in a year. She takes the meatsuit to the hospital thinking everything peachy between her and Sam, but she hadn’t counted on Sam having a realization of his own after dealing with a rugaru. He stops using his powers, at least temporarily.

Even with Sam’s conflicted heart, Ruby doesn’t stop trying to help him out however she can. She fills them in on the rumors about Anna Milton, even though she doesn’t have that much info. It takes some prodding, not from her, to get Dean on board with the plan to find Anna. And once they do, Ruby’s not far behind to once again drop a more pressing knowledge bomb on them. She tells them they need to run because a powerful demon’s following them, but she and Dean argue just like old times and by the time anyone’s on board with her plan… It’s too late. They try and fight Alastair, but there’s an increasing sense of alarm when Sam’s powers don’t work. Gears shift and Ruby takes Anna to safety while Dean fights the demon. The elder of the brothers once again jumps on his ‘don’t trust Ruby’ bandwagon claiming that she just took Anna for evil purposes. That all quickly gets shoved aside when Sam explains how much Ruby helped him while Dean was in Hell. And if that wasn’t enough, Ruby shows back up in their hotel room - having possessed a maid so she can deliver a message. She tells them the address of where she deposited Anna as well as a warning that the demons are close to finding them. She doesn’t stick around in the body, knowing how much that kind of thing bugged Sam, and returned to her brain-dead one as well as Anna.

Hell doesn’t freeze over when Dean thanks her for keeping Sam safe while he was dead, although it probably could have been a little smoother. Even with the apology, it doesn’t ease her annoyance when she finds out that they lost her knife to Alastair… But that doesn’t last long. Castiel and Uriel show up to kill Anna. They are clearly repulsed by Ruby, confirming her own fear of not caring that she’s on their side. Uriel incapacitates her before the fight even starts and is ultimately saved by Anna banishing the angels with a sigil drawn in her blood. As soon as she’s back on her feet, she’s at Sam’s side - never straying far from her true mission. When she’s sure he’s okay, she does what she can to help out by tending to Anna’s wounds. She then taught them how to make hex bags which hide them from both angels and demons in order to help protect Anna in Bobby’s safe room. Ruby puts the pieces together of why the demons want Anna once the other woman figures out that she used to be an angel. It’d be invaluable for them to get their hands on her and learn all that they could about what Heaven was planning.

She offers Sam an apology as it all sinks in while he tries to locate her Grace. She compares the fight between the angels and demons to Mothra and Godzilla and how getting in the middle would only lead to death. There’s another glimpse of genuine fear, the source of which she confides in Sam. She’s more scared of the upper level demon hunting Anna than she is of the angels. Angels would just smite her, but another demon could drag her back to Hell and she couldn’t have that. Since the situation only seems to lead to certain death, she makes the suggestion to leave Anna to deal with it herself, a suggestion which is quickly shot down. She’s quick to revisit the idea of Sam using his powers to defeat Alastair, offering him a chance to “tone up” his powers since he’d let them fall to the wayside after the rugaru. It’s another shoot down from Sam, but the frustrated Ruby sticks around - following them to Union, Kentucky to get her Grace.

If she wasn’t frustrated enough before, it just gets worse when they find out the Grace is already gone. With the Grace gone, that means that Anna can’t regain her powers and protect them which means they have to deal with both side of the battle trying to kill them. Sam comes up with a plan thanks to her Godzilla and Mothra comment, a plan that Ruby agrees to - one that could solve most of their problems by getting the angels and demons to destroy each other. Ruby burns her hex bag in a crossroads and letting Alastair find her. She offers him a deal of giving him Anna if he’ll let the Winchesters go. She admits to being a traitor to Hell and deals with his anger at her protecting an angel. The deal doesn’t go through and she’s instead taken prisoner. Alastair then uses her own knife to torture her for the night to try and get her to spill where she’s hiding Anna. While it hurts like a bitch, it’s not the first times she’s been tortured and there’s a bigger picture in mind. She doesn’t crack at first when he finally gives her the opportunity to speak because she knows that telling him would just result in her death. So she makes a different offer, being the cunning manipulator that she is. She willingly leads them to the hideout with the promise she wouldn’t go back just to be tortured again. Everything goes according to Sam’s plan with Castiel and Uriel already there. It almost hadn’t worked due to just how long Alastair spent torturing her, but almost didn’t count in this instance.

Ruby grew increasingly more impatient when more of the seals were broken. By the time they were up to 34 of the 66, she didn’t hold back part of her temper. She accused Sam of wasting time, not accepting his excuse of not knowing where the seals were located. She brought up her wanting him to kill Lilith again. Ruby leaves when Sam turns her down, but Dean pushes him right back into her arms. Dean had made the mistake of telling Sam that he didn’t seem them having a happy life. It’s clear Sam’s still working with her when Dean redials the last used number on Sam’s phone and it’s Ruby considering they’d been working on trying to locate more demonic omens, unhappy at the lack of them.

When Dean is taken by the angels to help interrogate Alastair, Sam looks to Ruby for help considering they’d been on their way to meet her. She’d already verbally expressed her lack of interest in getting involved with the angels, but this was for Sam. She crack and does a location spell to find him when Sam finally fesses up that he’s concerned interrogating Alastair would destroy Dean, that he wouldn’t be strong enough to get everything they need from the demon.

Something else comes to light, something Sam asks for - stating it’s been weeks. After kissing him and telling him he can have ‘it’, she pulls a knife out of the sheath at her ankle and cuts open her arm. She’s managed to get Sam addicted to demon blood and is clearly pleased with the results as she strokes his hair and reassures him that it’s okay… Not that she’d show that pride to Sam. Like a true dealer, when Sam calls her and tells her he’s desperate for more she ignores his calls and thereby withholds her blood which drives him to take drastic measures to obtain it. She eventually reunites with him after he escapes from Bobby’s panic room where Dean and Bobby had locked him up when they figure out he’s addicted to the blood. She gives him what he craves, catching him up on just how close Lilith is to succeeding. She gives him a cryptic clue that Lucifer’s first can break the final seal… That first being Lilith. She adds that she’s got a lead.

She knows he’s ready, not wasting any time in trying to leave before they’re interrupted by Dean who once again tries to kill her. Sam manages to stop him and Ruby takes off while they argue. No point in sticking around for that. She has to trust that Sam would follow on his own, that she’d put in enough work to keep him loyal.

When Sam catches up with her, she tries to be the reassuring not!girlfriend but he isn’t in the mood for touchy feely. Instead he just wants to deal with Lilith and get it over with. She takes him to the demon she’d gotten the lead on and they find out where to find Lilith from her. Despite the demon begging for death, Ruby stops him so there’d be someone to harvest blood from for Sam in addition to her own so he’ll have more than enough of a power boost to defeat Lilith. The demon they’re holding captive obviously isn’t on board with her plan and tries to appeal to Sam’s softer side by relinquishing control to the meatsuit who happens to be a nurse named Cindy. It causes Sam to hesitate with following through with Ruby’s plan, at least until he listens to a message he thinks is from Dean. The voicemail was actually from an angel named Zachariah who supported the idea of Lucifer roaming the earth so that Michael could kill him and it was enough to get him to give Ruby permission to kill the nurse.

Ruby puts pretty much everything she has left into containing Sam and Lilith and keeping Dean out. She telekinetically shuts and locks the doors so Dean can’t get in as she watches the final confrontation. When Sam succeeds in killing Lilith, Ruby changes. There’s a certain glee to her that shouldn’t be there. She finally gets everything she’s been keeping a secret out - how she’d been working on a secret mission for Lilith… The demon she’d followed after they killed Azazel. She’d been given a chance to shine and managed to succeed where so many others would have failed. Ever the silver-tongued demon, she reminds him that she wouldn’t be the only one rewarded. She seemed genuinely hopeful that they could still be together. It’s enough to imply that she she really does care about Sam, even if she had to deceive him for what she believed to be the greater good.

When it seems like she might actually succeed in calming him down and repairing what she’d hurt, Dean breaks in. Even though she tells him it’s too late, that doesn’t stop him from killing her with her own knife. While that wasn’t exactly pleasant, there was an extra sting that it was Sam holding her in place. But, even with all that… She’d succeeded.

Lucifer was free and her job was done.

Abilities/Special Powers:

Ruby is a low-tier demon, so she still has black eyes that can be masked by the ones of her meat suit. She supplements her abilities with tricks of her own including manipulation, hand-to-hand combative skills, as well as a demon-killing knife. She's not strong enough to take on both high ranking demons and lower ranked angels, but quick enough to find workarounds.

Active powers and abilities:

Teleportation - Ruby can appear and disappear when she deems fit, but can also be summoned by a ritual using a demonic alter. Both her teleporation and summoning can be interfered with by using demon-warding magic and sigils.

Invulnerability - It takes a lot to kill a demon, at least in the typical sense. She can't die from massive blood loss or being shot unless it's a weapon specifically designed to kill demons - of which there are very few. While she can't die, it doesn't mean it wouldn't incapacitate her.

Electrokinesis - Like a lot of other demons, when she's around she can interfere with lights and electronics. If she concentrates, she can focus it enough to even turn off a car engine.

Possession - Ruby can take over a human's body without their consent. She's able to control everything they do or say as though it's her own body. She's also able to keep the body functioning without food, water, or sleep - although she has a fondness for food and french fries so she's willing to keep up with that routine. During the possession, any damage the body takes won't kill it - at least not while there's still a demon driving. Once the demon leaves the body, though, whatever injuries it might have sustained during the demon joy-ride could lead to death. Ruby is also able to take over a body just after the soul leaves it and it's considered brain-dead.

Immortality - Ruby could possibly live forever and was over 700 years old when she was killed. There are other demons much older and much more powerful than her confirming this.

Regeneration - Ruby can heal herself, even commenting that her brain-dead host was 'rotting' while she'd jumped in another body to deliver a warning. So, she's able to prevent it from decomposing while in it. She can also heal wounds without leaving scars - for example when Sam fed on her blood it didn't leave a scar. She also managed to heal everything from her torture session with Alastair, although it took a bit more time than a simple cut.

Telekinesis - Ruby can move Ruby had the ability to move and otherwise influence objects with her mind. She used a hand gesture to shut and lock the doors of St. Mary's Convent on Dean in "Lucifer Rising".

Witchcraft - Considering Ruby was originally a witch who was taught by Astaroth, she's got a huge wealth of knowledge in all things witchy and supernatural. Astaroth had considered Ruby one of her best students, and she's demonstrated as both Ruby 1.0 and 2.0 her skills. She taught Sam and Dean to make hex bags and saved Dean from another witch's spell. It's also possible she broke out of Sam's devil's trap using magic.

Third-Person Sample:

There had been pain, mindblowing pain pulling her back down from that sweet high of a job well done. She'd almost had Sam on board, too... But Dean just had to have perfect frickin' timing - that dickwad. She'd managed to do the impossible and how was she rewarded? Death. A permanent death, not an exorcism, not sending her plummeting back to Hell. Death on the tip of her own knife.

She'd expected to feel nothing when it was all done, but it seems nothing in life is ever that simple. Instead, there's a spray of cold water on her face and a sound most people might find relaxing - similar to a heartbeat. Heartbeats often reminded people of a warmth, a chance to bask in the love of another. Those things did not belong in her life - weaknesses to be exploited.

Fingers rest over her abdomen, toying with the tear in her shirt from the knife as she works up the steam to actually get up. What was it with the Winchester clan actively trying to ruin her wardrobe? Ruby finally pushes herself upward, dusting the snow and sand off of herself and actually bothering to look around.

"Well, this isn't Kansas."

This wasn't at all what she was expecting. Like, maybe Purgatory at best... But last she'd heard Purgatory didn't have a huge ass mansion. A mansion that looked warmer than where she currently was. As she moves, she tests her powers to see just how messed up this whole situation is - eyes flooding to black as she rolls her shoulders. She still had it, at least this was good news. Next step? Figuring out just where she was... And maybe some food.

Dying is hungry work.

First-Person Sample:

[After taking a little time to familiarize herself with this place, she sets back off to explore - scan the network for familiar faces before deciding to formally introduce herself. Maybe even make a few people shit their pants because this was gonna be one hell of a surprise.

Sliding the device out of her back pocket, she settles onto the couch of her claimed room - exterior looking as cool as a cucumber about this whole situation. Rather than do the typical thing and introduce herself and ask after everyone else here, she goes a different route. She doesn't need to know if there's anyone who wants to see her here, safe enough bet the answer to that is no.

Her voice is even as she starts the video feed, clearly not one to have issues with the idea of public speaking.]

A guy walks into a bar that was built on the 20th floor of a building. He strolls up to the bartender asks for a shot of tequila, takes the shot, walks over to the balcony and jumps. Same guy walks back into the bar and repeats the whole process. A drunk man sitting at the bar notices and decides to stop the guy. The drunk guy asks 'How do you do that?' The guy replies, 'Well, I take the shot of tequila and it makes me very buoyant. Right before it hit the ground the tequila makes me float. You should try it, it’s fun.'

[She shifts in the seat, almost like she knew this was absolutely pointless but was still very amused by the joke. Look, she doesn't half-ass her jokes. Especially not when it's her first introduction around here. Can't jump right off the bat with the 'I'm a demon' shtick. Gotta ease into it - give the joke a deeper meaning for those who might be aware of her true nature.]

The drunk guy looks over at the bartender, asks for a shot of tequila, walks over to the balcony and jumps… and splat! [She even emphasizes that with a little mouth-fart noise and a wave of her free hand.] Dies instantly. Bartender looks over at the guy sitting at the bar with a devilish grin and say, 'You know Superman, you’re an asshole when you’re drunk.'

[And that's it. That's the joke. She gives a little chuckle before ending the feed. Look, she's never claimed to be tactful.]
