Heaven, or rather Exael, also wanted us to know what was going on. She graduated, yet she's still here.

We also have the following clues:
Adapt yourself to all things
Know who is judging
Be content with hope
Keep hidden that which oughn't be spoken
Do not be unjust to the dead

... Don't be unjust to the dead. This one just got more interesting. I wonder if the library has anything. Honoring rituals. Burial ceremonies. Probably not considering the hospital was useless.

As for Bel, Anubis got a grimoire. He was talking about summoning. But your right. He's the one where we have the least amount of sway. Not that we have a lot of sway with the others.

Giving a point for Hell? That's new.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Know who is judging.

That's the one that's fucked up. Who IS judging?

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Hell? They are the ones keeping track of the sins, right? Now that sins have been added to the board.

Fuck, we don't know anything.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Fucking stop that! We know more than we did when we first got here!

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Yeah. Yeah. I know. But allow me to be a little pissed, alright. My trump card is useless if I can't actually go to the proper afterlife I'm supposed to.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

It was a shitty trump card to begin with if it hinged on you getting out of the producer's grasp. We have to work inside the fucking system.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

So what if I like to cheat? Fine. Looks like we have to do it the hard way.

[Looking at C's map again.]

... What was the ratio to idols that have given up versus demons?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Many idols per demon.

Why?

[rollwithdisadvantage]

"Be content with hope."

There's your fuckin' army.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

. . .

I don't fucking get it.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

You've got a bunch of former idols that have literally give up and accepted Hell. Motivate them. Get them to care again. I doubt they like the demons and the producers any more than we do.

Give them hope.

A prisoner's revolt. We'd only have one shot at it, but it just might give us the edge we need when the time is right.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[I---



Wha?]

That's one fucking hell of a gamble!

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Then allow me to be your Hell representative for the people.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

For Lilith's pieces? It looks like we might need a few.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

You can give the named NPCs to someone else. That isn't my style after all.

I'll buddy-buddy with the damned.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Does that mean you plan to make yourself a regular at the casino?

Hope you like looking like fucking Frankenstein's monster. At least it fits your fucking unit aesthetic.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

No, idiot. Just ... leave the fuckin' planning of that to me, alright.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Maybe when you convince me you have a reasonable plan to get around Lilith.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Alright. I'm missing something. What did Lilth offer except revival?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

She fucking owns the place. C told me that when she spoke, everyone stopped and fucking cowered.

If you're going to have any chance of raising your deadbeat idol army, you're going to have to neutralize her.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Yeah, I didn't get that. I was trying to see if he could be without the staples. That didn't exactly work. I'm going to go back and ask him. Haruto, too. Though he's a lot cagier.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

. . .

Are you serious about talking to Haruto?

[rollwithdisadvantage]

I'm gonna try. Don't know how successful I can be.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Then take these.

[Don't mind him. He's gonna dig around in the shelving until he finds two vials]

This is truth serum. And here is the AlcheME! antidote for their potions.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

...

...

Fuck, how long have you had this?
