John has a demon in his basement. A literal demon, who just so happens to be one David Strider. Based on/heavily inspired by my-friend-the-frog's Demonstuck AU.

Your name is Dave Strider; the year is 1999. Ever since your first trip to the Makara Bros. Dark Carnival your oversized Texan home hasn't been the same. Your sleep is plagued by night-terrors, and after a particularly vivid hallucination you tell Bro that it's time to ollie the fuck out. Your interest in the occult becomes ever-increasing after an acrobatic pirouette into a small Los Angeles apartment, where you find that there are already twelve pre-existing, long dead tenants living there. After a violent encounter with a less then benevolent face-painted demon, you decide that it's time to break out the big guns: Enter Seer Rose Lalonde and her paranormal investigation team, John Eggbert and Jade Harley. Unfortunately exorcisms never adhere to the best laid plans, and as a last resort you seek help in the hands of grouchy nub-horned demon and his eleven undead friends. Victory is imminent... That is, until you find out who's really been pulling the strings behind the curtain.
