LIAR HELL OR BUST

[iamverybadass]

Who: More Idols
Where: Liar Hell
When: Tuesday Morning

[ What's everyone up to this morning? Still stuck in Hell? Busy doing crimes? Maybe, like some people, you hopped on a train from Vengeance Hell to get over here! Hope you didn't have to give up anything too precious for that.

In any case, however you've ended up here there's still plenty to do. Shopping, restaurants, movie theaters, maybe you can even find a tour bus to make the rounds of some of the other shows being filmed here! ]

[those pseudo angels go a bit red ahem!!

one of them yanks C's arm, palm up, marking it. CONTRACT SEALED so he has to come back to model!! and another hefts that case up and to the back, while the owner raises another eyebrow at C, before leaving them to browse.

BREATHES]

UUUUUUGH, that was close, jeeze! All that for a few tops!

[tradesecret]

I don't mind assisting when I'm around, but if you're going to steal things, don't get caught.

[neigh_sayer]

What about the thrill of the spectacle, huh?? I would have done more, but I figured I shouldn't make too big of a scene. Plus B would get mad.

[tradesecret]

The last thing B needs is bailing you out on his to-do list.

Anyway, if we're done here, I'd like to talk.

[neigh_sayer]

After an assist like that, how can I say no? [makes a show of I GOT NOTHING at the security before turning back to her]

Wanna walk and talk? Or do you need a sparkling cape?

[tradesecret]

Walking and talking works. Staying in unit aesthetic is extra important, so I'm going to pass on the cape.

[neigh_sayer]

Neeheehee! As expected, a proper Baritones as ever. [Skipping away and starting down the street then, hands tucked behind his head]

So what can I do for you?

[tradesecret]

No requests. Just a mini update, not much.

Dia might contact Alcheme.

[neigh_sayer]

From Zrael? Of course, she checked in when I sent out a text to all my subordinates. Not that she is one, but hell if I'm not trying. Did something happen?

[tradesecret]

Just an extreme change in appearance. I don't know if Alcheme's abilities could override Hell corruptions, but it's worth trying.

[ she pulls her sunglasses back out, using them to block her mouth while she adds: ]

Of the three unitmates that went on that field trip, two are still not accounted for.

[neigh_sayer]

Oh my. Out potions are more like instant makeup, but we'll try, of course.

[And the smile never leaves his face as she says that, instead, grinning mischievously ]

Wooow, good to know, but not surprised. Are you worried? Or annoyed, I wonder!

[tradesecret]

They're fully capable of taking care of themselves, so I'm not concerned. Like I said, it's just an FYI. Also no promises that I'll be able to keep tabs on any of them, though if they turn up, you'll find out one way or another.

[ B. Most likely B. ]

[neigh_sayer]

I'm sure. Aaah, you, B, and Silver can't turn off work mode, can you?

[tradesecret]

Silver took Monday off. I'm taking it easy in my own way.

[ by not putting the squeeze on anyone. Not that she ever has in her imeeji career, but taking the soft approach to info gathering and handling targets delicately is especially important when stress and paranoia are High ]

[neigh_sayer]

He spent half the day looking for the station and he's probably got a job by now. The cycle never ends!

But I am genuinely surprised to see you above ground. A nightclub is basically your element, isn't it?

[tradesecret]

Night life is certainly on brand for BARiTONES, and working at the nightclub's bar for a few hours definitely gave me a better understanding of the locals. But I try to make myself in my element everywhere.

And besides, I had more shopping to do.

[ one outfit is not enough. And she needs ones that can accommodate her new wings. ]

[neigh_sayer]

[snickers]

So even you can't resist the siren call of fashion! All of you really are the same. Welp, for helping me out, how about I find you an outfit? Though, your bartering skillset surpasses mine by a long shot.

[tradesecret]

Am I? I think it's a matter of staying on brand than any interest in brands.

And there's no need to compensate me. I just did what I was able.

[neigh_sayer]

It can be a little of both!

Welp, I'm bored and with a slick Bartitones by my side, I probably won't get nearly arrested again! Plus, you've got an ear for gossip, riiiight?

[tradesecret]

I've been listening, but when we're in a city full of liars, it's hard to take what I'm told at face value.

[neigh_sayer]

Right? But that's the fun thing about lies! If everything were true, we'd have no control whatsoever. Lies help shape what people decide as the truth, y'know? So in a way, it's all pretty valuable.

[tradesecret]

A shared lie is the closest thing we can get to a collective Truth, is that it?

If patterns emerge, it'll be interesting to compare them between the domains. But so far, I've heard that "only two of the Princes do anything to aid their damned from disappearing: Asmodeus and Pythia."

[neigh_sayer]

Eeeexactly.

[hums a bit] Ahaha, how interesting! Well, it certainly checks out with the information we have now, but who knows. They're certainly the only ones that have actively courted us, anyway.

[tradesecret]

It does raise questions about what the other domains are like.

[neigh_sayer]

Maybe they all suck! To be honest, the fewer princes that get involved, the better. We can barely handle these two, after all.
