But maybe you're waiting for someone . . . ]

[here he comes!! B isn't in his pajamas and the rumpled clothes makes it obvious he just slept fully dressed. Looks tired! For some reason!]

Welcome back. Shall I go first? You won't like what you hear.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Perfect. We're both going to be the bearer of bad news today.

[Gestures to the sheep ottoman for him to sit]

Sit.

And you can start.

But first - for the protection of what little sanity I have remaining - can you not hand the package back to Team "Save the Angel or We Wish We Would Die Trying" until after you can confirm if they are just not going to go back for a round three?

[liarliarliar]

No one, including you, is getting anything from me until we figure out how full of demons and bullshit everyone is.

[sits]

I took all your stuff obviously. As well as the envelope item. It'll all be returned later if you're all okay.

Anyway since I couldn't come up with a way to help you Maki decided to go kill herself against me and C's objections since she had to get to you. We stalled her as long as we could but it amounted to nothing I suspect if she's not here with you.

Sorry. I couldn't come up with something to stop her.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Like anyone can stop Maki from doing whatever the she wants. She's a big girl. She can deal with her choices and her consequences like one.

...

And I figured based on the texts she sent to my phone.

But she offed herself in some super special secret location only known to her and King, so I can't do anything about that until King unfucks himself enough to answer.

Maybe then he can go play white knight. Because that's not something I have the patience for right now.

[liarliarliar]

Enjoy your future of look what you made me do its all your fault.

I'm not sure I can work with her after this but that's for later talk.

Anyway, how full of demons are you.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Bristles at that. Because he is in fact not looking forward to the dressing down Maki is going to give him.

Sighs and holds up his remaining flesh hand (since all robot parts are melted and gone). There is a ring made of bone on the index finger]

Everyone else was completely and thoroughly fucked by the time we ran into our friend, the Lady of Darkness.

So now I am indebted to one Beheader of Gremlins as price for the six of us being allowed to return to Tokyo-F.

And yes. I hate it. We already had a Darkness minion in the company. This is a useless double-up.

[liarliarliar]

An open debt? Fuck.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Yes. Unfortunately I didn't have a lot of bargaining power in this deal. With 33% of the party missing heads and all.

[liarliarliar]

They couldn't pay for themselves... Geez...

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Shall I start from the beginning?

[liarliarliar]

Yes please.

1/2

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I got a text early in the morning from Nemesis asking to meet.

Apparently, her, Hurricane, Yugi, King and Requiem managed to get a hold of Mehniel. And found out that he was being kept in the House of Mirth. So they needed me to call Exael to see if I could get a location.

She also told me that they encountered another angel. An old friend of Mehniel. Who mind-wiped Yugi, King, and Requiem so that they couldn't remember anything about the mission.

[Bitterly:]

And by the way, all three of the mind-wiped still wanted to go with "if we don't have memories, they can't get any information if they torture us" as their main selling point. Because of course they did.

So I called and texted Exael.

[Even more bitterly:]

She left me on fucking read, by the way.

[AND SOMEHOW EVEN MORE BITTERLY:]

And then team "Ride or Die or I Guess We'll Just Die" decided they wanted to break into Our Lady of Lies penthouse to get the information instead. Even though there was not a shred of evidence that the information was there.

And I couldn't just leave them to do something so stupid so---

[Feelings are bad!]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Wait a laugh]

Actually, now I could though. Silver lining.

[liarliarliar]

That done with them I see.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

If you do clear me for being able to return to work, let's be very careful with what we share.

Paladins have to be guided very carefully.

[liarliarliar]

How do we guide people who won't fucking listen...

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Each and every one of them is now indebted to me because I footed the bill.

Do you think I am above guilt tripping them?

[liarliarliar]

Please guilt trip them all.

On that note though don't fucking go on adventures ever again you're killing me.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

...

I take it you’ve been working overtime since you returned to Tokyo-F?

[liarliarliar]

If I hear someone angrily say so we're just waiting at me one more time in the next month I'm going to lose my mind.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I’ll make you a stun phaser. And you have my permission to shoot them.

It’ll be an upgrade to the spray bottle.

[liarliarliar]

Uhhhhhh.

Also all the people thinking Exael could do anything. Yeah she's going to go get killed for a bunch of well meaning clowns.

So I take it Thia messed you all up or...?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Never saw her.

When we tried to break in, the angel showed back up again. Furfur - part of security. Old coworker to the paladins’ angel back in the day.

Oh, you and C would like him.

Very chatty. Loves his wife - Chelle - who coincidentally watches this show religiously. Her favorites are Kuzuebiko, Cardigan and Pharaoh. Only in this line of work for the paycheck.

He’s the one who got us the book by the way. Not that Hurricane and the rest know that. They were too busy being righteous and snippy. And in the ever conflicting stories about what happened to God - Furfur claims after humans betrayed His son, God took him and closed the gates to Heaven. The angels were left behind because they are expendable foot soldiers and extremely salty about it.

Oh and I really don’t care if either of them are listening in right now. It’s not like they don’t know what I’m about to tell you.

[liarliarliar]

And then Frufru fucked you all up cuz that was their job? Sounds like if you guys backed off you could have got away.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Exactly.

He said as soon as we tried to break into his boss's house then it'd be too great to ignore.

And then Req tried to walk through the front door---

[Intensity having no idea that Furfur quasi-tricked her into doing so]

And got immediately mind-chained for her troubles. You know the---

Oh. Did I ever tell you about the time King mindfucked me when he was high on angel fumes? It's all an illusion but the speciality seems to be golden chains that burn when you touch them. Sometimes it takes you to an dimensional pocket and sometimes it doesn't apparently.

Anyway Frufru's special ability was lightning so that also exploded Req's eye.
