[Day 4] Hell

[arsgoetia]

Some of you are discussing serious lawyering with the most serious lawyer. Others are reuniting with old friends, or meeting new ones(?) . . . and some of you are just flat-out riding bad decision dinosaur trains.

The adventure continues. ♥

We don't really know where we are, but it looks pretty impressive. Can you tell us what this place is?

[arsgoetia]

"The palace."

[necessaryevil.livejournal.com]

How informative.

[cureworsethan.livejournal.com]

Whose palace is that?

[arsgoetia]

"Here is where the Lords of Hell convene in court business," the guard adds. He is eyeing you three with interest.

[virtuallyroyalty]

Heeeh, that's interesting! It's a pretty fancy place to talk business. Right now we're witnesses under one of those Lords.

*just keeping an eye on the guards while he listens*

[cureworsethan.livejournal.com]

Are any of the lords in now?

[arsgoetia]

"They most likely are," the guard says. "Why are you here? You're not damned souls."

[virtuallyroyalty]

I dunno how much we're allowed to say about the case...

[cureworsethan.livejournal.com]

Lord Baal-Berith might not like us talking too much about his case with just anyone. Hmm?

*watching the guards from the side of his eye*

[necessaryevil.livejournal.com]

It's true.

[arsgoetia]

The guard looks somewhat interested.

[virtuallyroyalty]

That's just how it is. Sorry. Though you might've heard about it anyway, if you're guards, so... what can you tell us about that guy?

[cureworsethan.livejournal.com]

Ha? Well, don't pry too much. They're only guards, after all. They might not know enough to say... It'd be a shame to embarrass them like that.

Itachi seems to think this obvious ruse won't work, and, to be fair, the guards do look cautious. So the information you receive is probably public record.

"Lord Baal-Berith is a Fallen Angel, once of the order of Cherubim, and once worshipped as a god. He is a Grand Duke and pontiff officially holding a rank as one of Hell's Master of Ceremonies. He is also a ranking lawyer, frequently in charge of notarizing pacts and known in his role as lawyer as the Scriptor. He can tell fortunes truly, give powers to mortals, and create gold. He is known for his clear voice and talkative nature."

*oh so he's a pact lawyer. Great*

[cureworsethan.livejournal.com]

We noticed that last part.

[virtuallyroyalty]

So he's pretty well known, I guess. Has he done any super famous important trials before?

[arsgoetia]

They shrug. "He does trials," the guard you are talking with says, cautiously.

[necessaryevil.livejournal.com]

Evasive.

[cureworsethan.livejournal.com]

So harsh.

[virtuallyroyalty]

If they're not gonna answer, they're not gonna answer. Aah, I bet we can't go in to see the palace too, even though it look so cool!

"You could enter, if you wished."

"But be warned that you walk in the footsteps of the great lords."
