Day 110

[innerdaemons]

Absinthe: are you around for a little chat?

[syckophant]

Bordeaux: I am!
Bordeaux: Would you prefer it in person or is text enough?

[innerdaemons]

Absinthe: For ease, I'd prefer to speak with you in the dorms.

[syckophant]

Bordeaux: Then you shall.
Bordeaux: I'll meet you in the common area.

[innerdaemons]

[ there's not another reply but if Eichi heads to the common area Absinthe will be sitting at the bar with a glass of wine. ]

[syckophant]

[ He'll come out eventually, then take a seat next to Absinthe. ]

Already up to no good, is it?

[innerdaemons]

[ he chuckles. ]

And why is that your first assumption?

[syckophant]

You called me, didn't you? So what is it?

[innerdaemons]

I've received a tip from Asmodeus - - that there's a backdoor into heaven, that requires a ritual to open.

[syckophant]

Oh! That one, right. Do you know the ritual, then?

[innerdaemons]

I do! So it's only a matter of finding willing volunteers.

[syckophant]

And what are these volunteers supposed to be willing to do?

[innerdaemons]

Assist with the ritual, and a more thorough investigation as to what is inside heaven.

[syckophant]

[ Eichi shifts a little then, placing his elbows on the bar as he pulls off his white gloves, revealing the silver-white scales and claw-tipped fingers underneath, then reaching out to grab an empty glass, admiring it. ]

Absinthe.

I am a busy man, and our gracious host has already informed me of his intentions after this door, as well as another goal of his which I am to be working toward.

Now would you please stop insulting me by beating around the bush and describe what this ritual entails? Am I expected to sacrifice? Will it detriment me? If it should, how will I be compensated?

I am a businessman, not a gambler.

[innerdaemons]

[ his gaze goes to the claws and then back to Eichi's face, with a little knowing smile, settling back in his bar seat some. ]

You must forgive the vagueness. It's a habit I've gotten from speaking with those who seem to have far less knowledge than you on what our dear host could desire.

May I first start by asking what he requested of you? I'll be more inclined to put some cards of my own on the table.

[syckophant]

How very annoying. You're asking me to volunteer for something vague and yet you think I should offer information for you? Do you intend to help me with my mission too, if I should tell you about it, or are you just being paranoid?

[innerdaemons]

In the interest of fairness, I'd be more than willing to assist. If it's within my capabilities, of course.

[syckophant]

I need someone's head on a platter.

You tell me what is necessary for this ritual, and I may deign to tell you who.

[innerdaemons]

[ he shrugs, an expansive lift of his hands; ]

Well, the funny thing about that is -- I haven't quite decided yet what this ritual should entail.
