Theft of services is not tolerated.

What's the matter, Memphis?

One of my charges was destroyed by an underling overstepping his bounds, voiding a good deal of his contract. Now I pick up the pieces.

You will rack him, yes?

No. I believe he would enjoy that.

[smirk]

On a blessed Catholic altar?

An intriguing suggestion.

I thought you might like it.

It is appreciated.

And where has your business taken you of late?

You're welcome, punkin.

[She just snorts sourly.]

Nowhere, unfortunately. I've been wandering about in limbo for a few of those damned winglies to show their oh-so-holy faces.

And your pet? Are you not amusing yourself with him?

Nnn, every so often. There's only so much undying devotion I can stand. Mostly I just turn him loose and he comes back to grovel with a body count. That's sometimes satisfying.

Attempt assigning him to a more difficult task.

His mind might overheat. [She waves a hand.] He serves his purpose. I'm more concerned over the distinct lack of wingly activity lately. What are those bastards planning now?

Although, I have to say I'm looking forward to month-end. Oh, am I ever.

Have you not mused that it may be related? A lull in activity before the festivals?

Since when have you let someone steal from you, Mephisto?

Oh, I've mused. I can't believe they're that smart. But the little wankers are falling like rain these days. Joyous, that. ...and still they expect deferential treatment. Poor things.

Not all of them, unfortunately. Some of them still have the intellect to plan a strike.

Since your charge decided he would turn his knife onto mine.

Oh? He managed to get a hold of one of yours? How interesting. Tell me, he didn't damage him too badly, did he?

The body was entirely destroyed. I have assigned him the task of restoring it and returning the soul to the mortal realm.

Was it? [He's not showing the slightest bit of pride, promise.] You ask for something he's almost guaranteed to fail at, I hope you are aware of that.

Virtually. And while I anticipated as much, he still must undergo the process. Perhaps he might succeed with your help.

How terrible to hear. Might being the keyword. Who says that I was feeling that charitable towards my charge today? Besides, what's the worst you can do to that boy, hm?

The man in question was in a key position that cannot be compromised. He will be punished, although I understand your methods have proven less than effective of late.

They all are with you, Mephisto. And my methods are fine with the boy, I'm one of what, three people who can control him? Trust me, he'll only find yours enjoyable.
