Vlad Normis (Ake Dania Kashin/DK) || kashentsovy

Vlad's penchant for the dark side of things haunted him, but his curiosity outweighed it. Not a psychic, merely a lover of "evil spirits," he immersed himself in it, despite his parents' advice. But every time he made a mistake, the demon Ruslan has been living with him for four years now. He'd send obscenities into his dreams, or, on the contrary, nightmares, or wake him up at night. In short, it's not life, it's a nightmare, as many would say, but Vlad has gotten used to it, even if it was annoying.

Religious objects had no effect, but holy water repelled the demon for several hours, causing burns that left him suffering for the next four hours. Vlad took advantage of this, keeping his "neighbor" in check, threatening him with a bottle at the slightest disobedience.

When Vlad was away on business yet again, he decided to fence off all important objects and install cameras to monitor his household demon from a distance. After reading some theory online about salt warding off evil spirits, he scattered salt almost everywhere, cordoning off personal belongings, particularly the cabinet containing his spell books.

Standing in the kitchen with a bag of salt, Vlad remembered where he hadn’t yet spilled it and looked around the kitchen. — "So... I've scattered the salt... all that's left is to install the cameras."

Ruslan, standing behind him, looked at him like an idiot.
