23rd Appetizer

[Video]
[In a dimly lit room, the video pipes in with a steady thrum of long fingernails drumming on the arm of a tall regal looking chair. His fingers are coated with a dark viscous fluid, but he pays no attention at all to the blood staining his skin or pooling on the ground at his feet.

Leaning back against the plush fabric of the throne, Rido Kuran,  a newly appointed Prince of Hell, begins to  laugh.]

How.... delicious.

[Rido chuckles softly, the sound rolling across the stillness of the room.]

You've been absent lately, Ivan~. Haven't been avoiding me, have you?

[hidesinrestroom.livejournal.com]

No, sire, never. I've been traveling to the human world for souls.

[council-king.livejournal.com]

And what tribute have you brought me~?

[hidesinrestroom.livejournal.com]

More victims for the second circle.

[council-king.livejournal.com]

It's a start~...

[hidesinrestroom.livejournal.com]

Only a start...?

[council-king.livejournal.com]

Yes. What's a few souls when there's a whole City overhead? Why should I settle for less?

Or are you happy with the scraps we've been given...

[hidesinrestroom.livejournal.com]

I thought I rounded up a nice number...

[council-king.livejournal.com]

Ivan... you're dreaming small.

Tell Me. How long will this 'nice number' keep you occupied?

[hidesinrestroom.livejournal.com]

... Not very long.

[council-king.livejournal.com]

That's right. Such a poor thing, starving as you do. Hardly fair at all, is it~?

And these humans break so easily, don't they? [His voice lowers to an enticing whisper.] Wouldn't you want something to play with that's more virginal and pure? An angel to play with and break at your leisure.

Wouldn't that be more fun? How long do you think they'll last under your loving attentions?

[hidesinrestroom.livejournal.com]

An angel...? What a genius idea... That will certainly prove to be a challenge...

[council-king.livejournal.com]

I need demons who are up to the 'challenges' I set in front of them. Ones to rally to My cause and My banner in the upcoming conflict.

You are up to the task, aren't you?

[hidesinrestroom.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes. Of course! You won't be disappointed, my lord.
