[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!]
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.
[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.
... 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.
[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.
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.
As a commemoration of sorts! I suppose it wasn't common among our people, but I do like this tradition. You'll find a lot of people here would take pictures of things or people they like.
[Gonna get the phone READY]
I first took to photography to capture some sights of the city. I was in a bad place at the time, and needed something good to focus on... But now I just enjoy recording important moments. And I'd say meeting again after such a long time is rather important. Wouldn't you?
[... well and ALSO he's going to send it to Emet. But it's not actually the primary goal, he does want to take a selfie with Elidibus.]

Ah! But first - can I take a picture with you?
