(3.5 IC) End of Fate (B)

[zlefin]

Until the agreed upon time passes, Maynard simply waits, wondering what the outcome will be.

Once it passes, Maynard starts trying to feel what he can and can't do, can he struggle for control? Can the demon hear his thoughts? At first he tries thinking hard to see if the demon responds
Ah, so you chose to take the risk of deal-breaking, you gain a body and hostage but they're more likely to chase you and seek revenge; and at this point they'd see no reason not to just kill you, since I'm lost anyways.

If the demon doesn't respond after a few minutes, Maynard will try the same statements by speaking; perhaps the demon can hear it if he mentally tries to take the act of 'speaking' even when he's not in control of the body, if it cannot hear the act of merely thinking in general.
