There was no need to worry. Beetlejuice quite willingly followed along, like a cross between a demonic puppy and schoolyard chum.
"BABS rode a sandworm?!"
To him, that was the most shocking piece of information gleaned. The only thing more shocking would have been hearing that Adam had done that instead.
"Whoa. Props to Barbara, then. That's exactly what I did. Because my mom was going to kill all of you."
With the differences in their experiences, Beetlejuice decided to be more forthcoming with information than usual.
"See, that exorcist thing was my doing. Well. Your doing. Because I lied. You agreed to marry me to make it stop, and save Babs. Then you jumped into hell to find your mom. Your dad went after you."
There was the slightest undercurrent of hurt in his tone with the whole jumping-into-hell-to-get-away thing. But, as quickly as it was there it was gone again as he continued.
"Did some torturing while you were gone, you came back with your dad, you agreed to marry me again, and you did, I got to be alive for about a minute, lost my mind a bit, you killed me--warranted, can't really lie--and you guys tried to banish me to the Netherworld."
The demon idly filled his pockets with the spiders still on his hands. "And that's when my mom came through the portal. She was kind of in charge of things and was pissed you had gone to and left the Netherworld. And, uh, wanted to kill you."
Beetlejuice looked up. "Okay, I tried to talk her out of it, but, she didn't want to listen to me and kicked me out, because she was quite a bit more powerful than yours truly, and had never been real fond of me either."
He flicked a spider at a man passing by.
"Anyway, I found the nearest sandworm and rode it back to your house and let it eat mom. Uh. The End."
