Serial Attempted Murderess
Casualties: Two. Ser Vegner, do you think it wise to consort with them? A proud knight who spent its days protecting the Lord with the mess that is these mass murderers under the guise of demons?
"You worry too much, Alastor." Iris twirled the open umbrella behind her, her steps unhurried and slow. A skeletal figure wreathed in a cloak of dark flame hovered behind her shoulder, invisible to all but her. Its grim red claws hung over her shoulder, casting furtive glances around Iris. A young lady in the middle of the night, alone, was not a safe lady. Despite knowing full well what Vegner was capable of, it seemed appropriate that he dealt with the upstartish pleabians.
I do not. You are noble to a fault, they spill blood at the tiniest of slight. Their kind is not your kind.
"I am still a demon, you know, Alastor?" Iris nodded, smiling, to a passerby, and hoped to the depths of hell that he hadn't heard that. She thought it wise to lower her voice to a whisper. Alastor would have to deal with hovering a little closer now.
And Lucifer was a demon who slighted God. He was an angel, just as you could have been, had you not cursed His name. Your heart is far too neutral for this. They kill even the minions at home for no reason at all, except to sate their blood lust. It churns my stomach.
"You don't have a stomach," Iris sighed. "And what have I to worry? I am Vegner, after all. It's been a millenia and yet none have passed the gates without executive permission. I am unbreakable, Alastor. And I do say that with the most humbleness I can muster. And here we stand. Are you sure they are taking up residence in this suite?" Iris stopped in front of the complex. She tilted her umbrella slightly and looked up towards the pinnacle of the building, stretching up towards the sky. Humans had an inordinate amount of fascination of reaching the skies. Where do they think they will peak? Heaven was a plane, not an existence of this world, and so was Hell. She gave a small smile, and shook her head. The ambitions of humans never ceased to amaze. She had to admit, she liked watching humans. Those that forged on ahead despite of their obstacles were her favourite, next to those born with certain disabilities, such as a lack of limbs. Of course, the other demons, including Alastor, didn't understand Vegner's fascination with their attitude. Perhaps, a tiny sense of humanity lingered within.
She pushed open the doors, and strode across the hall, waving down the reception. "Pardon, just visiting." She paused, then backtracked to the counter, closing her umbrella as she went. "Sorry again, but were there any individuals acting...odd? Peculiar behaviour of sorts? Possibly demanding a room?"
"Just a few moment ago, miss. Took our 'finest accomodation'." The counter looked positively disgruntled, as if wronged in some way that he couldn't figure out. "Top floor, two-five-five." He answered before she could ask.
"Much thanks." A ledger lay open behind the counter, and the poor bastard was flipping furiously throughh the pages. Iris figured that 255 might have had an occupant, but certain persons might have done something about that, resulting in an error in the ledger and the systems.
Not an hour has passed, and already the human world suffers. I predict economy destruction more than anything with the ensuing chaos. Alastor scoffed as they entered the evelator, and Iris depressed the button at the top.
Alastor was always very bitter about her company, not unlike a displeased parent. However, this bitterness was bound to bite him. "Alastor, dear, I'm giving you the night off. Your safety is compromised with these..." she thought for an appropriate word, "upper echelons of Hell."
Alastor looked ready to protest, but his self-preservation seemed to be the stronger will. He gave a bow, and floated into the wall of the elevator, disappearing through it. As if on cue with his little trick, the elevator dinged, and the doors slid open. It didn't take her long to locate 255. The stench of blood was emanating from the only other person in the doorway. A Chief, she surmised. From the looks of it, as she approached the opening door, it was Diablo. She stopped short behind the masked man. In the room, she recognised another Chief: Morbi. She rubbed her neck and leaned against the wall opposite, pushing her glasses up her nose. It was only polite to wait until they finished whatever conversation they had before she joined in. Given Alastor's report, she didn't want to waste any energy fending off their blows.
