Concerning Fiends

The Devilite force here on Cradle has a penchant for throwing things at Knights off their guard. What's interesting, however, is the fact that the aforementioned throwing of things is actually in their job description.
So that raises questions.
Are there Devilites who join the workforce just to throw staplers at people?
Are Devilites who have never been employed automatically turned into Gorgos past a certain point, making joining the workforce all but mandatory?
How many denizens of the Underworld would attack you on the spot if you happened to stumble into it after evening rush-hour, where they were not obligated to hurl staplers at you?
Where does the seemingly endless stream of office supplies come from? The only clothing I've ever seen them wear are ties, so it's not like they have pockets.
And above all, why is it considered a bad thing when your boss gives you a pitchfork and glowy-eyes? That's a dream job.

Hello Darkness, my Old Friend.
I've done a fanfic on this. I can explain.
Are there Devilites who join the workforce just to throw staplers at people?
Nah, they get a 1% pay raise for it.
Are Devilites who have never been employed automatically turned into Gorgos past a certain point, making joining the workforce all but mandatory?
If a Devilite sits down or lays on the ground when it's not their coffee break, they turn into a gorgo. If they don't have a job then they don't get a coffee break, ever.
How many denizens of the Underworld would attack you on the spot if you happened to stumble into it after evening rush-hour, where they were not obligated to hurl staplers at you?
Nobody knows what time it is.
Where does the seemingly endless stream of office supplies come from? The only clothing I've ever seen them wear are ties, so it's not like they have pockets.
They scratch their hand to draw the stapler rune which summons a stapler.
And above all, why is it considered a bad thing when your boss gives you a pitchfork and glowy-eyes? That's a dream job.
They work 23 hour shifts as opposed to 22.
Are there Devilites who join the workforce just to throw staplers at people?
Yes. Staplers are an important part of our workplace, and finding a good stapler thrower can be vital to a company's success.
Are Devilites who have never been employed automatically turned into Gorgos past a certain point, making joining the workforce all but mandatory?
Failure to find a job is a failure of the individual, so naturally yes, they are turned into gorgos because they are lazy creatures that will never ever find a job. They lose their house, they lose their family, and they lose their form.

The next shift would have arrived by then, as we never really close down for the day and it is in fact, always rush hour. So to answer your question, no, you wouldn't see any difference.
Where does the seemingly endless stream of office supplies come from? The only clothing I've ever seen them wear are ties, so it's not like they have pockets.
We actually have an in-house supplier that we control and manage as a company who ships us all of our office supplies. These are then stored around our offices and either picked up off the ground, or summoned using dark energy to the devilite throwing on the spot.
And above all, why is it considered a bad thing when your boss gives you a pitchfork and glowy-eyes? That's a dream job.
Well that settles it. You're hired!
