[innerdaemons]

If what Asmodeus has told me is true, yes.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

And if your little scouting party runs into Mehniel. Do you have any specific orders around that?

[innerdaemons]

Not at all. I've made him aware it seemed fully deserted, but not that there was one left behind.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

So then what is he looking for in particular?

A trinket he lost perchance.

[innerdaemons]

Is that an educated guess you're making? I truthfully don't know what he wants from inside there.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

One guess.

In one of the living quarters we wandered into, there was the outline of something that used to be there that wasn't. Something brought in from outside of Heaven.

I couldn't tell you much more than that besides it left the outline of a flower behind.

[innerdaemons]

-- Now, that is interesting. He didn't mention a lot possession of his at all, but it might have been something he chose to omit.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I see.

It sounds more and more like this a good faith mission to see just how high us idols are going to jump when Asmodeus tells us to.

[innerdaemons]

[ there's an expansive sort of shrug, again. ]

You can view it that way if you'd like. As I advised Zrael -- you can certainly come along if you'd like to, but no one is forcing your hand.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Of course. Just name a time and place, and I'll be there.

[innerdaemons]

Excellent! I'm waiting a bit to confirm how many participants I'll have before I settle on a time, but I'll send you the information when I do.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Quick question. Would you be opposed if I brought a plus one?

[innerdaemons]

The more the merrier. May I ask who it is?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

One of the people from Wild City who survived the jump down from Heaven and into Hell. It's always good to have a guide.

[innerdaemons]

My - - they'd be an invaluable resource, I imagine. Did they also happen to meet the angel there...?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

No. Is that something you want in your ragtag group of adventurers?

[innerdaemons]

The angel themself, or one who has met them?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

The latter. Someone with experience talking to the angel. And won't have to re-explain everything or gain their trust.

[innerdaemons]

Well, you can assume I'd find that useful as well. If I'm meant to provide a full report of Heaven, of course the angel would be on that list.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Raises an eyebrow]

I think you're misunderstanding.

We have two sets of goals here. One, to provide enough information back to Asmodeus to keep you gainfully employed as a agent plus whatever schemes you have of your own cooking on the side. And two, to further our own information about Heaven, which we may or may not share with our demon overlords at this juncture.

Is this something that we're aligned on?

[innerdaemons]

I don't hear any part of that that I disagree with, no. Beyond the implication I have schemes of my own, but I doubt I'll change your mind as to that.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

True. The only way you'll pull that off is if we had this conversation via truth potion.

[innerdaemons]

And I'd rather avoid such measures if possible!
