Firmament

???: Completely intact, thank you. Presently comatose.

---

...:
And... you're sure you've a suitable placement for the anomaly? Given the state of your leynetwork...

---

???: I assure you, we are well aware of Theia's unique... circumstances. Circumstances which are sure to change soon enough.

---

...:
Such confidence! If I didn't know better, I'd think you were scheming again. Surely you learned your lesson last time.

---

???: I am simply doing my job. Nothing more.

---

...:
Of course, of course.

Though, I do hope you're not too rusty. This being your first referral in a while, haha.

---

???: From you, perhaps, but not our first case today. In fact, our previous referral came from your office as well.

Frankly, I'm surprised you've not heard.

---

...:
Oh, the interns typically handle this sort of work these days. I just wanted to call, to check in on an old friend.

---

???: Of course. Now... was there anything else?

---

...:
If I may, what of this other anomaly? Asking strictly out of friendly curiosity, you understand.

---

???: Oh? It was hardly an anomaly. Slightly damaged from the cross it seems, but it cohered shortly after. Nothing aberrant beyond that. My associate Benet suspects an injured Gate, but... I suppose that remains to be seen.

Regardless, I believe your office could have handled that on their own, Dante.

---

...:
What, and rob you and your associates of precious work? I'd never dream of it!

---

???: Quite. And you'll refer us any other unusual cases, I hope?

---

...:
Our trash is your treasure, Marlowe my dear.

---

???: And we are so thankful to have an upstanding Demon like you to collect it for us.

Take care.

*blip*

---

???: Hello again, little Eidolon.

You're not ones to waste time, are you? It seems you've already made a... ripple or two, out there. But don't worry. You've not been brought here about that. Rather, I have a certain proposal for your consideration. A way to put some of your talents to use, in the mortal world.

If enough of you are interested, of course.
