	There is nothing for which to apologize. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I would hate for you to think that you're the one to blame. You are lucky enough to have what you wanted. He is lucky enough to finally be apart from me. And I am lucky not to have a nagging conscience any longer. You are in no danger. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I did love you, you know, just not enough. And I don't think it's ever what you wanted. I assume you're here to help seal the vacuum in leadership? I've heard the whispers. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There is no other reasonable explanation for my return. I woke up within your brother, and sent him to time out. You know how he is, though, he'll be up and kicking before we know it. As for my wants, I honestly do not think they've ever factored in. Why would this be any different? I'm not looking this gift horse in the mouth. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	When the end of times comes, there will be nobody left but Cher, cockroaches, and my brother. But they should. You should have a say. Are you all right with this? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And they all would deserve each other. Extremely. It's far better than being bound inside your idiot brother, and far less constraining than being weighed down by your beloved's incessant twaddle. You'd be surprised how little I actually care about the promotion. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Their offspring will be terrifying and awesome. I've heard watercooler talk. Most of the demons I know are excited about the change in management. I hope you know that I don't wish for us to be enemies. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It would behoove us both to not be at odds, you're right. Frankly, if there's one thing I dislike most, it's the political bullshit associated with the rank and file of this organization. Especially the parts where we're all at odds with each other for no other reason than our own greed. If we are to do anything remotely well in our jobs, we must first stop giving a shit about the stupid cliquish behavior.

Let's just assume that from here on out, the entirety of the Kingdom is to be unified for the direct purpose of doing its fucking job.

	Exactly. I've told everyone that is technically beneath me to just hush and do their jobs. We wouldn't need leadership if people did that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You won't have reason to. He is not like your brother, he does not go after the one thing that is a thorn in his side, he goes after the closest thing that irks him. And if I stay far, far away? This won't be a problem. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You know that I tend to rage for ten minutes and then focus. My study now looks like a whirlwind's gone through it, but I am calm. I have no fear, merely ... irritation. I do wish the lying blackguard would have stayed dead. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thefirstfallen 2011-05-18 10:11 pm UTC (link)
	As do we all, but all things have a necessity. With Satan gone... Well. At least he's well suited for the task. [Arignel]: It couldn't have happened at a worse time, however. His replacement is clearly a complete loose cannon, how we'll manage with the two of them, I've no clear idea. It's lucky, I suppose, that our brothers are here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	defectedfromgod 2011-05-18 10:31 pm UTC (link)
	The Wartooth is most definitely a loose cannon, and his charming little tantrum in Australia was ... beyond irritating. However, he is not unreasonable. Or at least I've not found him such. I have a feeling that His Bloody Highness reborn will not listen to reason, or at least, not to me. Michael may be the best person to deal with him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He will not go without reproach, my friend.

I would stay far off of his radar, Ariel, if I were you. I know you're aware of how mad he is, but compound that with the fact that your ascension was the signal to his end, that your death was the impetus which made became fully demonic... He may wind up having undue amounts of rage stored up with your name on it.

And heaven only knows what new powers have been bestowed upon him in his new position, if any at all.

	You have a point. I doubt we could keep him from finding out what I am, at this point, but there isn't a reason to engage him directly right now. I should warn Iku. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thefirstfallen 2011-05-18 10:55 pm UTC (link)
	He knows. I know he knows. And do. Just be aware, Ariel, that it is best to keep a wide berth. Of course, you of all people know that about him more than anybody. It is unlikely that he will be even half as charming than he was before. He is what was drawn from me. I doubt there's even a part of me left within him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	defectedfromgod 2011-05-18 11:00 pm UTC (link)
	Agreed, on all counts. I'm going to warn Iku. And keep warding this place, on top of warding on top of warding. You know I can deal with him; I won't allow him to get near her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lady Astaroth, if you ever need help or backup in any way, please call me. I'm a little thrown, I gotta admit, but the least I can do is offer assistance. I have to start laying wards to protect my wife, too. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Gabriel. Thank you for your concern. I hope your wedding was everything you hoped it would be. How are you proceeding with the ritual? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It was. It was really nice. And we're getting there with the bonding. Lee and I are sort of putting our knowledge together. I think I have the how and she has the what and where. (Reply to this) (Parent)
