[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. ♥

Understood. And her capture of Bastien's soul was simply an extension of this avarice? To reclaim that part of you that was missing?

Re: [High Security]

[arsgoetia]

That's right.

Then—the earlier matter, regarding Lord Bastien. He stands accused of keeping souls from purgatory.

Re: [High Security]

[arsgoetia]

Yes... That one was his idea, though I don't disapprove. He couldn't let them go just because he murdered them...his guilt is really a greedy thing as well.

Re: [High Security]

So—it was out of guilt?

Re: [High Security]

[arsgoetia]

He bound them into the house. Kept them around him. If he'd meant to atone, he'd have let them move on, but he forced them to stay. That man always did like to dwell.

So it wasn't—truly a matter of keeping them from purgatory but rather of keeping them in his company.

Re: [High Security]

I don't think he thought of it like that. It was more like he thought, 'I am the worst sort of scum, and here is proof.'

Re: [High Security]

[tsundeargodwhy.livejournal.com]

Yes—that does sound like him.

Re: [High Security]

[arsgoetia]

You were very refreshing company after him, Konatsu.

Re: [High Security]

[tsundeargodwhy.livejournal.com]

I—I am flattered.

I hope we can have a better run of it, this time.

He reaches through the bars to touch you buuut before he can, and before Yuki can collar you, a familiar figure arrives, clapping his hands delightedly.

"Okay, okay!! ♫ Time's up, let's go, let's go, let's talk some stuff over, Konatchu!!"

Baal-Berith drapes his arms around Yuki and Konatsu, steering them away, leaving the Sword reaching through the bars behind you.
