Ms. Spellman? I wanted to see how you were settling in, whether there was anything you needed.

( ms. wardwell is just a kind woman. no motives )

[contactsports]

Ms. Wardwall. What a surprise.

[ Kind and just, really uninteresting to Zelda in general. Sure, her help during the exorcism had been immeasurable, but she's also not sure about having someone around who encourages Sabrina the way that she does. ]

I'm fine, I suppose. As well as one can be expected to be.

[sathan]

It is disconcerting when you first arrive.

( though thank lilith that sabrina hadn't informed her of the latest goings ons. she would have to be talking to the young witch, though )

I saw your predicament. As someone that has changed jobs since arriving here I thought I could help.

[contactsports]

By Satan's will, I have already procured alternative employment. I man named Armitage Hux has hired me as his personal secretary.

I'm sure it will be boring but it is an improvement. And, hopefully, he'll allow me to bring along Vinegar Tom. He shouldn't be left too long on his own, you see.

[ Spending so long in deep meditation can be hard on a familiar. ]

[sathan]

A secretary?

( whilst it may seem an improvement there's a little judgement in her tone. you can do so much better, zelda )

Well, hopefully you find what you truly want before too long.

[contactsports]

What I want is to be free of this ridiculous, mortal-infested plane and return my niece and I back to Greendale where she belongs.

[ She's doing her best, okay? At least she's moving up. ]

[sathan]

Of course. Something that I've also been looking into. As has Sabrina.

[contactsports]

And what have you found? Have you managed to make yourself at all useful in doing what is best for her?

[ Obviously not, or Sabrina would have been home by now. ]

[sathan]

( she's behaving because of sabrina at this point. don't be rude, zelda )

I'll let Sabrina tell you that.

( some of it yes. some of it-- )

But there are no simple portals to be opened here.

[contactsports]

As I've learned. According to the paperwork I received, my teleportation abilities have been limited. As have all my other powers.

[ A fact she is very, very unhappy about. ]

[sathan]

( yeah lilith vaguely ignored her paperwork )

That isn't the extent of what they can do. There was a moment when my powers had been removed. Completely.

Ms. Spellman, now that you've had some time to orient yourself with this place perhaps you'd be willing to join me for a drink? To discuss a little more of it.

( and maybe also to see what she knows, what sabrina's told her, gauge reactions and-- distract herself )

[contactsports]

[ Well this is... Unexpected. And not particularly welcome but, whatever. ]

If you think so. Where would you like to meet?

[sathan]

There's a cafe in Maurtia Falls I've enjoyed. Though if you'd prefer something stronger I live in Jeopardy.

( like a bar could have been an option but she's much better. she also doesn't expect zelda to take it )

[contactsports]

Send me the address for the cafe and I'll meet you there.

[ And we can hash out whatever awkward conversation they'll have when they get there~ ]

[sathan]

There's someone here claiming to be the false god.

[contactsports]

And that is of concern to me how?

[sathan]

You were recently reminded that angels were truly a threat.

[contactsports]

And you think some stranger claiming to be the false god is of equal threat? He could be a mad man for all we know.

[sathan]

He is a mad man.

( and she never claimed he was a threat )

I don't believe he is the false god.

( but there's also something about him that doesn't feel right, as if the creation can sense a creator )

[contactsports]

[ To be fair it was implied, what with the angels and all. ]

Then what do you believe him to be?

[ The False God is bad enough. But somehow, one who is deluded enough to believe himself to be could be worse. ]

[sathan]

Whatever it is is not a simple answer.

[contactsports]

Does he exhibit powers similar to that of the false god?

[sathan]

I haven't personally asked to see them.

[contactsports]

Then what makes you so suspicious of his nature?

[ You are really testing her today, Lilith. ]
