So.....

Where's the org chart? Or was that another thing she was lying about.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

. . .

My lab. After the meeting. You can fucking see yourself in now, can't you?

[rollwithdisadvantage]

What's that look for? I was a good boy and didn't do anything rash.

But yes, yes, I can let myself in.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

You didn't even fuck me up while under the demon possession bullshit. Do you really think so poorly of me?

[rollwithdisadvantage]

One, there was no possession. Just a lack of morals.

Two, in your state you were too pathetic to pick on.

Enjoy your loving fans.

[Motioning to the crowd before skittering off.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I WAS NOT PATHETIC!

[But will be heading to his lab after all of this to find Nine-Nine]

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[So he can get into the lab but he can't get into FiN, so he's sitting outside the door.

Like a dork.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

. . .

[Opens the door for him]

If you would have said something, I would have had Blue Eyes open the door.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Your pet can do that? Huh. What else can it do?

[Letting himself in and going straight for the lab. Though he does give a moment of silence for the poor burned couch.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[RIP comfort. Day 60 - 65 or something.

Into the lab we go]

A lot more as soon as I finish upgrading her. But that isn't what we're here to talk about.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Nope. It's not.

[Getting pen and paper and sitting down.]

I heard from Mars that Exael is a big, fucking liar. So went back on the deal, didn't she?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

She says we didn't fulfill the terms of the deal because we used pep!pep! as a revival method.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

What that's some fine fuckin' print she didn't mention before. Asshole. I wish I was surprised now that I know about her boss.

So I see you heard about what happened to Bad End. Boss summoned Asmodues and he gave us ridiculous powers for the low, low cost of our morals. Though we do have to be careful. We aren't demons --- well, some of us aren't ---- so we can't force our will on Hell like they do. That's why they gave us units. To strengthen our images and to create conflict with the other units. We have to keep both of those in mind unit unity and conflict if we are going to keep the audience interested. If we don't, well it's back to gray for us!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

So everyone has been fucking telling me. Other fine print they left out in our introductory material.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

I don't have much to add to your report. It looks like you got what you needed from Bad End and HSS.

I can tell you that I'm probably a demon of some sort. An enlightenment of my own I received.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

And how did you come to this conclusion?

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Because the only unnatural part of being in the demon pecking order was not being at the top.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

. . .

And the fact that you wore the cloak ten times better than anyone else did.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

I can't take all the credit. Silk wasn't too bad at is as well.

So now we have 5 factions we can target, maybe even 6. Pythia, Belial, Asmodeus, ShopKeep, and this manager. And Lilith.

Though I would guess it would be too much to see if you learned something about the audience when you were trying to mimic one.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Mammon. That's the ShopKeeper's boss.

And no, I couldn't remember shit about anything useful while I was fading into a mindless couch potato. Imagine that.

I'd say of our targets, the Manager would be the most useful. Since it's her ass on the line if this show fucks up.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

And who does she report to?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

No idea. And that probably will be a hard thing to get out of her. Though she does sound more amendable to chatting if we give her the conflict the audience so craves.

...

Which is something else I've been meaning to ask you, since you are the only one who seemed of sound-ish mind while under the influence.

Did you hear any mention of a secondary punishment for the trial?

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Losing morality doesn't not equate to insanity. At least it doesn't apparently in my case.

No. There should have been only one. Some units had to lose the trial. That was the only requirement we were given.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Well then they lied to you. Probably to not fuck with your verdict.

It seems like everyone who was grey and executed was subject to another punishment. A permanent one like the game with the flowers.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

WHAT!?

What other punishment?
