I suggested the angel was as an actor before... I still think it's weird to think anyone could just wander into "Heaven." And I think it's weird we made it there via a demon ritual, too. But everyone says the angel doesn't act like they'd expect if it was just a ruse... and Exael definitely seemed like she didn't expect what happened. And it seems really roundabout for us to have been sent on the mission if Asshole was behind it all... I don't know what the point would be there.

There's a third theory that I suggested to Man Eater earlier, though. It could be a ruse, but not for us. The angel supposedly slept through the war, right...? And they're just refusing to believe that everyone else is actually gone. What if the liar side managed to abduct a sleeping angel and put them in some kind of fake Heaven? What if this isn't the first time they've done it, and this is just the first angel who's too stupid and stubborn to accept the loss and give up?

[He thinks over that for a long time and then says]

Think speaking someone's name is a Prince thing? Or also a minion thing?

Liar-hater might not be tuned in because he doesn't care about-- well. Anything. But if it extends to all demons, Our Fair Lady of the Circus is definitely listening in.

[rollplayinghouse]

...The way she put it, it was a demon thing. I'm not sure if that applies to her... She was an idol originally, wasn't she? Not that we can trust her word on it, in that case. I guess we could ask Yasuragi or Red or something.

But I feel like if it worked for her, she'd be a lot more informed, given how much people talk about her.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

She's also a very good liar.

So no harm in giving her a nickname, too.

[rollplayinghouse]

Hmm... Yugi suggested "Prick" for her boss to go with "Asshole," but I'm not sure what I could pick for her to match...

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Oh my god. Laughs out loud at that]

Don't try to hide your bitterness or anything.

[rollplayinghouse]

I'm not very good at hiding things.

[deadpan.]

Or at nicknames.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Ringmaster will do.

It's appropriate - in many ways.

[rollplayinghouse]

Ringmaster, then.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

The angel has some alternative value among the Princes, though I can't fathom what that is right now.

And Azzy seems more in the loop about it than Py.

Or at least that's the yarn they're spinning.

[rollplayinghouse]

Well, if we're assuming the angel is under some kind of delusion, maybe pulling them out of it could prove the lies about Heaven are false...?

That's probably reaching, though... What did you hear about this "alternative value," exactly?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Azzy wanted one of his to find the angel. Don't pass that around.

[rollplayinghouse]

...I see.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Also - let me clarify that he wanted the angel alive.

But from what you said, Ringmaster was in the dark about even the angel's existence.

So there is some fucked up power play and politics involved here that we don't understand.

[rollplayinghouse]

I didn't say she didn't know they existed. The only thing I'm reasonably sure she was surprised about is that Tokyo-F got destroyed. And I don't think she was expecting us in prison, either. But that doesn't mean she didn't know there was an angel in a box somewhere.

And, of course, she's a liar, so I could just be totally wrong.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Spaceship.

Angel in a spaceship.

[rollplayinghouse]

...Spaceship. Sure.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Either way, it's best that we try to assist the angel in not getting caught.

At best, even if 10% of this bullshit is real, then we're on a path to have a potential third-party ally. At worst, we just play right into the producers' hands and fuck - we were already doing that anyway.

[rollplayinghouse]

Yeah. If nothing else, I feel at least a little more confident the angel is a real third party. Which is something.

...I don't at all believe that they're going to magically get us all out of here, though. And I'm a little worried Hurricane is going to toss us all out of the frying pan and into the fire with blind faith in that.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

What frying pan? All I see is fire.

Just with different presentations to make us feel worse or better about it.

[rollplayinghouse]

Well, for example, Requiem was talking about how they were going to get us out, and when I asked out to where, she was like "I don't know, home maybe? I wouldn't mind."

That was just her speculating, but if there's any chance this angel will decide it's best to just send us all home like lost children...

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Think the angel would be cruel enough to send dead people home to be dead?

Potentially. Right?

But then maybe Azzy will get a few more vengeance minions out of the deal if they are that stupid.

[rollplayinghouse]

That doesn't help after the fact, though. And there are plenty of reasons to not want to be sent home even if we are alive.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Doesn’t it?

End game doesn’t change for me whether I’m here or there.

Does it for you?

[rollplayinghouse]

You don't think being back to being a human on earth would pose any obstacles at all to taking over Hell?
