[perks at that]

With who?

Eichi. BARiTONES.

Absinthe works for him to.

Obviously that information doesn't leave the inner circle.

Obviously. [a beat]

Are they among the damned, by chance? N seems to know one of them, and well, he kind of sticks out. It'd make sense for them to be working for hell as an inside job.

Eichi is for sure. His wings and such are a sign of his Hell corruption. He also claims he remembers being in Delphi. And that he left something there.

Absinthe-- not that I know of. Unless turning into a zombie and leaking black ichor everywhere is his corruption. I've never seen one so--- detrimental before though. If that's the case.

Hm, I suppose it doesn't matter much, just knowing one of them is in cahoots is enough. I doubt they're playing both sides if they needed you to get some form of contact. How sloppy.

Well, well! I suppose there's nothing we can really do but hope Exael doesn't get mixed up or killed off. I'd text her a warning, but well, that's tipping our hand quite a bit up front.

Are you worried about something happening?

Not necessarily.

And to be frank, if Exael can't protect herself or see through this plot, I'd doubt her overall usefulness anyway.

But that's your half of the kingdom. So I trust you to decide who gets to know what.

Ahaha, not untrue! I'm just a bit bias.

I think I'll just clue B in, for now. Maybe A as well. [a beat] I don't know if they have anything to do with it, but Wild City is trying to make another trip to hell, at some point. Or at least Talon has been increasingly dead set on trying. It might be something for you to keep an ear out for, especially with their own calling cards for Azzy.

Does A still talk to Exael?

...

Yes, I've talked with Talon about it. Azzy said he knew how to open the rift. Was going to send a group of us there via Absinthe. Still waiting to see how that pans out.

If not, if Talon does make the attempt separately, at least he and I are on the same page about what's important.

Not really, since he has his own priorities aka Joker's pants. But if it'd make him look useful, we could probably trust him to run with the information.

[props an elbow up, resting his chin on his hand]

Planning a whole field trip, and not a mention of it to us? Tsk tsk! Not that I can blame you. You can never learn too much, soooo. No worries about us compromising it.

That said! What is important?

Don't misunderstand.

There is a high probability this is going to be a trap. And the only reason I found out about it is because the unit they were going to send solo was ZRAEL. I'd like to minimize the number of people who get fucked up. But I also need Talon as a guide.

And this is my side of the fence, right? Demons breaking into Heaven.

[Crosses his arms, tapping his fingers against his forearm]

We're trying to papers forged. For the Judecca line. That's how you get from Azzy's Casino to Delphi.

If we can get our hands on those, Taisho should be able to forge as many copies as we need.

Meanwhile, if we do go back to the rift, I'm sending Man Eater and Maki to get holy water for me. For attempts to cure the corruption as well as manufacturing of holy weapons.

. . .

And I thought I had my hand in a few jars. So you all will be looking for papers while the other half has Azzy's eyes on them, with their heavenly antics? Honestly, there's no better distraction between Zrael and the drunkards.

As for getting rid of the corruption, wouldn't an exorcism be more practical?

Possibly.

But for that we'd need a priest. Or a healing angel. And probably holy something.

The holy water is just practical to have on hand. It has the potential for many applications.

. . .[wheeeeels turning]

Mmhm, that's true! Hey, hey--if this all happens, maybe tell Zrael to look out for any corpses.

After all, Hell seems to want a living one. But if you guys could bring a dead angel back, some interesting things might happen.

[Just starts laughing]

I'll put that on our grocery list.

[beams innocently!!]

Neeheehee! Think of it as picking up a candy bar at the last second, if they happen to remember it.

Well, this is all food for thought. Anything else I'm missing?

You wouldn't recall because AlcheME! wasn't there --- but there was a new host at the Murder Game Mystery Bullshit. An AI by the name of Nafun.

...

She's also installed in pep's new home theater. I'll be borrowing B and a few peps to test that lead once shit calms down enough for me to do so.
