Okay so as those of you who use PayPal are probably aware, PayPal has this new credit card type thing that they’re DESPERATE for people to use.
So I was buying something with Paypal and suddenly mid check out i noticed something that said I was signing up for their credit card, like not asking me if I want to buy it, one click away as if I was about to finish a transaction for it. I scrolled down and saw a “cancel transaction” button, pressed it, and suddenly I was back to my checkout screen.
PayPal now has a pop up screen that looks almost identical to their normal checkout screen, which will pop up while you’re mid-transaction and try to trick you into signing up for their credit card. Keep an eye out.
“Not really. Moved in just a few weeks ago, actually. Setting up my new shop.”
“Not a bad place, though I heard the neighborhood’s gone to hell.”
“…”
“It was a joke.”
“Yeah, yeah…I just…”
“I shot my dad last night.”
“Yeah, I know. I think I killed my brother. Around the same time.”
“Feels good, huh? To talk to people about stuff you don’t normally talk about. I don’t think I’ve had a proper conversation with another person in years.”
“I’m honored, m’Lady.”
“Weirdo.”
“Hmm, yeah, that’s about the general consensus of most people.”
“…so, you’re really a – I don’t really know what to call you.”
“Dante. Just Dante.”
“…I’m sorry. Like I said, it’s been a while since I’ve talked to anyone and…yeah. Then I call you a weirdo and then ask about whether your a fucking demon or not.”
“I am, I guess. Kinda.”
“No, no, that’s – that’s too much. You’re…”
“Mom was ahuman. Officially I’m half-n-half.”
“…yeah uh, me too, I guess. My mother – she was half-Japanese.”
“Yeah, I can kinda tell.”

“So you’re really going to keep doing this?”
“Yes.”
“Even after –”
“Yeah, of course I’ll – ow! Goddamn it, you said you’ve done this before.”
“Sorry, I lied. Didn’t want you to be nervous.”
“Should’ve known…you never needed to, huh? You get stabbed or shot and it just heals right the fuck up.”
“…yeah. Always did. Really freaked the other kids out.”
“…I’m sorry. Fuck…I didn’t mean –”
“Nah, it’s cool. I just – I can handle things from here on out, y’know?”
“Yes, I know. But it wouldn’t hurt to have some back-up, you know, just in case things go south.”
“…”
“I’m just letting you know.”
“Why? Because you’ll keep doing this, hunting down demons until what?”
“Until they’re all gone.”
“So what happens when they are? What happens if you can’t stop?”
“I don’t want to stop.”
“…all done.”
“Thanks for stitching me up. Look – I appreciate your help, Dante. Hell, on some occasions, I’ll even need it. But so does everyone else. You’re a hunter too and you’re probably the only one who can really make those things afraid.”
“I don’t understand where this is going.”
“I’m saying that what I do is my business and what you do is yours. We’re both helping people and getting paid for it because we’re damn good at it. But one day, something’s going to get lucky or I’m going to get really unlucky and that will be the end of this.”
“Yes, but it doesn’t have to be that way.”
“I already told you – I want this. I need this. And you can’t stop me.”
