[You are greeted with the sound of randomly disrupted static, at the end of which three melodic beeping signals are heard. Yep, that's your cue to leave a message!]

[SMILES! :) The very rare kind of smile that means Emet Is In For It Now, not that you'd remember that even if you'd ever seen it.]

Agreed. He is much too fond of manipulating others one way or another, ostensibly "to their benefit".

[rainshaveceased]

[well

about being fond of manipulating others,

elidibus sweating,,,]

I cannot say he has ever attempted to manipulate me.

[weenwoon]

[haha! Ascians are very emotionally healthy,]

Well, I would say making you drunk without being asked to still counts. Perhaps manipulation is not the right word, but... I cannot say I'm always fond of his methods. Especially when they are used on myself or those close to me.

[rainshaveceased]

Understandable. And I certainly will not allow him to get away with it a second time.

[weenwoon]

[LET'S DESTROY EMET]

You have my full support.

[rainshaveceased]

[LET'S DESTROY EMET]

...Do not be too harsh with him, though. I think he is still a little shaken by my presence here.

[weenwoon]

[it's ok we can destroy him non-lethally]

Likely so, yes. And perhaps that's not the only thing we'll see of his panic at your appearance. He did not seem to handle it too well when I first arrived, too.

[rainshaveceased]

He is very sensitive, after all.

[weenwoon]

[Smiles, a little awkwardly,]

Both him and Lahabrea. So... I suppose we should keep it in mind. I really can't tell how it might manifest, after all.

[...,, speaking of]

Have you met Vergil and Five? Their partners?

[rainshaveceased]

I have, though I have only spoken properly with Vergil thus far.

[weenwoon]

I'm quite fond of Vergil, even though our views are... rather different. What did you think of him?

[rainshaveceased]

He is a strange one, but not as terrible as he apparently wants me to believe he is. I think I can understand why Lahabrea would grow to care for him.

[weenwoon]

[PRACTICALLY CLAPS HIS HANDS TOGETHER!! Lov that Vergil]

Oh, he's certainly fond of exaggerating the darker sides of his character! But I've found him to be very kind - in his own way, perhaps. But he does do his best to take care of me, even when he needn't. I think you are bound to become friends.

[rainshaveceased]

[nods]

That does sound in accord with what I observed from him.

[weenwoon]

Lahabrea wishes to bring him back to Amaurot with us. Same with Emet-Selch and Five, and... some other people.

[Watches Elidibus carefully, like are you... chill with that or.]

[rainshaveceased]

...How many people, exactly?

[weenwoon]

[LET HIM THINK]

... Five people, at the very least. Are you against the idea?

[not that he would blame you given that one of them is absinthe]

[rainshaveceased]

Not at all. I would simply know who they are.

[weenwoon]

... Well, you are already familiar with Vergil and Five. If I could, I would wish to invite Lily - she's on Baritones, too; you may have met her already. And Serenity of BAD END. They are both very curious souls and hard workers. I am certain our society could benefit from their presence.

And there is another one, though he is not here at the moment. Absinthe, formerly of Baritones as well... He is staying elsewhere in Hell until such moment that we may bring him with us.

[ppppppauses awkwardly]

I care for him greatly, but he can be capricious at times.

[rainshaveceased]

Could you tell me more of him? The others I can meet for myself, but if he is no longer here...

[weenwoon]

[He literally brought this on himself but still, oofsies.

Folds his hands, frowning thoughtfully.]

... He is a complex man. He'd gone through some rather terrifying things back in his own world... among which was being infected with the Starscourge. A disease of the soul of sorts. He is host to a myriad aetheric entities, I suppose - normally they would turn anything they touch into a mindless, violent monster, but he is mostly safe from such influence, and controls the Scourge himself. Emet-Selch and myself have been hoping to cleanse his soul of the disease.

[...]

I know how this might sound, but I do not believe he would be dangerous. He cares for us all rather deeply, and after a lifetime of animosity I believe peace and affection will be good for him.

[rainshaveceased]

...

I certainly do not oppose your intentions of saving him. In fact, I would be glad to assist in any way I can.

[but,]

[weenwoon]

[it's ok. he understands]

Thank you. Perhaps you could talk with Emet-Selch about him, too - they were very close.

[rainshaveceased]

I will do so. Thank you for telling me.

[weenwoon]

Of course. And... well, I've been here a rather shorter time than our other two compatriots, but if there's anything I can help you with, please don't hesitate to reach out.
