[Well at least none of them got stuck in Heaven or the Abyss]

[Silver lining]

Sounds about right.

Exactly.

Now what was this about the rules of Heaven?

Oh, uh. There were seven of em. They were like...

One. Live to serve the lord?
Two. Fight against hell, like, hardcore.
Three. Don't turn your back to a demon or compromise with one.
Four. Honor your brothers and sisters in battle.
Five. Save every soul you can.
Six. Don't suffer a demon to live.
And seven was like, love with everything you got.

[Looks genuinely unimpressed]

. . .

Do you know if that was a priority ranking or not?

Not a clue. Sorry, dude.

Whatever. I'll add them to the notes in case someone else runs into a different angel.

We'll see if they work like a passcode.

Kay.

[Pauses, hesitating. Then:]

There's, uh. One more thing.

[. . .

That's isn't a good face, Hurricane]

What?

He said he pitied me, cause I was gonna die an excruciating death.

That's the fate of those who fall. The final death, when you're struck down to burn for a thousand years.

. . .

[THE FUCK!?]

And when does this happen?

When Hell loses, or when my willpower breaks. Whichever happens first.

We're going to fix--

[Gestures toward Hurricane's heart]

--this--

--before that happens.

Or I take over Hell and then Hell never loses this stupid fucked up powerplay game. Got it?

Either way, that's not happening to you. Over my dead and damned body.

...you really mean the whole taking over hell thing, huh.

100%. There's no way I'm going to leave this fuckfest behind to fester just so it can do the same shit again in a thousand years.

So, what, depose the monarchy, build a summer home on the burning lake...?

That all depends what this place is actually used for. An unnecessarily elaborate set-up like this probably has a reason behind it. Even if it's a stupid one.

So you're gonna keep it running?

I can't answer that question until I know what the stupid reason is.

I'm certainly not going to burn it to the ground if all of you are still marked as fallen.

...ah. Yeah. Guess there's that to think about now.

Don't put that guilt on your shoulders. That was always my plan.

If this place has to keep running - albeit renovated - there's no one better to see to it here than myself.

[The rest of you are all too soft is what he doesn't say out loud]

Renovated, huh? You putting in new bathroom tiles?

The drapes are also hideous. Most everything has got to go.

And I'm going to fire the interior decorator.

Get a new game designer while you're at it. Those could use some work, for sure.

You're looking at him. But I'll take referrals if you know anyone on the market who'd be decent at it.

Sounds like you already found the best guy for the job.

...I wouldn't say no to doing a couple if you ever need some time off, though.
