#Dispaters anxiety lowered significantly around her lol

[wellthebardsdead]

Lucy: *walking to the empty fire pit and seeing it smoking* HELLFIRE INCOMING-

Everyone: *jumps back as the smell of smouldering iron fills the air and a rather unassuming devil emerges from the flames, around Lae’zels height, satyr like in appearance and sporting a pair of small bat like wings on his back, topped off with a bald head and friendly face that was disarmingly warm in its appearance, like looking at a life long friend*

Titivilus: *smiles and bows to Lucy* forgive the interruption to your evening, your excellency. I am Titivilus, hand to the iron duke, Dispater. I’ve come extending an invitation to his tower so you may meet him and his consort.

Lucy: …

Titivilus: *tilts his head* your grace?

Lucy: forgive my wariness- Dispater, in all his paranoia- is- inviting me? He doesn’t wish to court me does he? I heard Lilis was having a meltdown over that possibility.

Titivilus: Oh my no, she was upset the other arch devils had already started encroaching on you, making you a potential threat to our lord rather than an ally. But I understand you’ve rejected their proposals outright- we could hear Levistus screaming from three layers up. *chuckles* No this is merely to ingratiate himself to you. To get a better understanding of- where, you stand with him.

Lucy: well, Ive no real ambitions on doing anything beyond getting this tadpole sorted and then, maybe solving the blood war. Okay, I accept.

Titivilus: *taken aback, detecting only truth in her words, realising Glasya was telling the truth, she presents no threat presently* I- *smiles and bows his head* Wonderful, I’ll inform him at once. I shall come fetch you when he’s ready. *disappears back to the hells*

Karlach: Have you lost your mind?! You’re going into the impenetrable fortress of the iron duke! If he wants you dead-

Lucy: then he’ll be facing not just Asmodeus but Glasya. And potentially Meeps since his son is still set on me, and his other son is ‘helping’ me… He’s aware I can be a threat if I need to be just by the devils I’ve got on my back…

*several hours later*

Lucy: so this guy called gortash made a deal with Zariel and he’s built these massive automatons using infernal machinery. I need something powerful enough to either control them or blow them up.

Dispater: hm… let me see your- “pepperboxes.”

Lucy: *removes the arm mounted automatic pepperboxes from her wrists and hands them over*

Dispater: *turns and walks off*

Lilis: Just give him a moment dear-

*BOOM!!!*

Lilis: oh good he’s done.

Dispater: *returns and hands them back to her with an upgrade* there you go. I will warn you however, the recoil, is intense.

Lucy: thank you! I’m sure it can’t be that bad?

*literally the next time she fires it*

Lucy: *launched herself up onto the susser tree shooting a hookhorror* HELP- IM STUCK ON A BRANCH!
