Demon: Certainly. Once we're done here, I'll see to it that you have means to stay in touch.

Now, I have a phone call I need to take, so...

Demon: Pardon, but I really do need to focus on this call. Just... discuss amongst yourselves. I'm sure one of you remembers.

Demon: *blip*

Goethe? I think we're just about done here. Is the petitioner from Theia still on the line?

Goethe(?): Yeah, yeah. Been keeping him worked up, like you said to.

Demon: Good. When you're ready, patch them through to me.

I greet you, brave mortal. Your heart's most desperate plea has echoed down into the depths of Hell. And it is I, the Demon Queen Marlowe, who heard your cry, and answered. I, the Twice-Betrayed. Eternal Warden of the Sea of Lost Souls. And I come, bringing an offer of True Solace for your grief...

If, of course, you are prepared to pay our price in return... ahahaha!

...:
O-of course. I know the price. I'd pay anything! Just, please. Save my little Cassowary...

Marlowe: Ohoho.... mortals are always so eager to offer anything...

But do you even know what you have to lose? Just what I could choose to take in recompense?

"Anything," fuhuhuh... what a foolish offer.

...:
Maybe it is foolish. O-or... or maybe a Demon like you just can't understand a parent's love for their children.

We made oath, true.
But we didn't make oath.
Oath made by one-of-many, not many ones.

...:
A-are you still there?

Marlowe: Ah, but of course. A parent's love.

I suppose that means you're willing to do whatever we ask of you, then? Lie for us. Steal for us... Kill for us even? Consign yourself forever to our servitude?

...:
But that's... not what the other Demon said the price would be...

(04-17-2018, 03:41 PM)Fellow Wrote: »Also, you're telling me that any other demon this guy may petition would at best steal the girl's soul and pretend they didn't? What makes you special?

Marlowe: As I said, we are a philanthropic organization. I never said any other Demon would steal a Soul.

But desperate mortals make foolish decisions. And other Demons are just that. Other. Different. Different goals, through different means.

Besides, making generalizations about a group is rude.

...:
Wh-huh? I'm... sorry? I didn't mean to be rude...

...:
Wait, did you just say something about being a philanthropist?

Marlowe: O-of course! Did you think all Demons were the same?

Hahaha... foolish Mortals. Haha.

...:
But you're... didn't you just say something about eternal servitude? The Demon who said he was your underling... he never said anything about that. And then you said something about desperate mortals and...

Marlowe: I was just... I was illustrating a point. You offered me anything. I just... that was stupid.

So don't do that.

...:
O-okay? Hey, is advice on dealing with Demons part of that Philanthropy thing or...

Marlowe: Cease this prattle!

Never mind all that. You and I have an agreement to discuss. A Contract.

You do know what that means, don't you?

...:
I... y-yes, I do.

(04-17-2018, 01:58 PM)Wessolf27 Wrote: »>Very well... I shall be the little one's mender, and guardian if I need to.

Marlowe: And you understand the terms of our contract?

Not... not the eternal servitude thing. What the other Demon said earlier.

...:
Yeah. I know what you need in return. I offer it freely.

Marlowe: And you understand the penalty for failure to uphold this?

...:
I... I do.

But I swear if there's some catch to this you've "technically" informed me about, so help me I will be personally responsible for all subconscious desires to attempt to consume random objects and do sick dodge rolls down corridors. You and your cool demon ears have been warned.

...:
Just, please. My daughter. She's so sick. We've tried doctors and... and shamans, and... everything. No one can do anything for her.

...you're my only hope.

Marlowe: Of course.

...:
And you promise you won't harm her? No trickery? No funny business?

Will try to healings of tiny one.

Marlowe: I cannot promise her condition won't have a lasting impact...

But I will use all power at my disposal to restore her, as fully as possible. And I will see no harm done to her, through my aid.

...:
Alright.

Marlowe: Excellent. Then, are we agreed?

Yes. Let's have it done.

Marlowe: Excellent. The Contract is struck. We'll be in touch shortly.

*blip*

Ughhhhhhhh...

Goethe? Are you still on the line?

Just... tell Bennet to send the Eidolon across. We've got ourselves a deal.

Goethe:
Will do, boss. Awesome work, by the way! Love that Queen spiel every time.

And can I just say? That recovery after the bit you flubbed was...

Marlowe: *blip*

...and you, little Eidolon. We'll be in touch soon, as well. Do remember our agreement, once you make it over there.

And, of course, best wishes with your new start on Theia. Ta ta, for now.

Girl: Oh, hey there! I didn't see you come in. It's been a while since I had a visitor.

...do I know you?
