[ whenever he happens across zelgadis sometime after the execution, mephisto comes over with a smile — though a less aggressively cheerful one than usual. ]
Well, I'm not sure what I was expecting, but it wasn't that.
[Zel's at the shitty bar with a shitty beer, having figured anyone else looking to drink today would've chosen to linger at the better venue. When approached, he moves to pull his hood up, then after seeing who it is, decides not to bother.
There's a grumble-like noise of agreement to that statement.]
... I've seen all kinds of shadow magic, but never anything like that.
[ classic underestimation of how much mephisto enjoys shitty things. he takes the next seat over. ]
No, it wasn't quite like anything I've seen either.
[ which he doesn't like!!! ]
I'll certainly be curious to see where things go from here. There's clearly more to all of this than the picture those so-called demons have been painting for us.

[Is that what's happening here? Ehhh. He has his doubts.]
Still, I suppose there were other differences. I'm not sure what to make of the hierarchy they have here...
no subject
Oh, there isn't really any hierarchy here, according to them. It's just Satan at the top and then low-level demons like them with nothing in between.
no subject
It's hard to imagine a Dark Lord that doesn't demand absolute loyalty, though.

[ sighs!! ]
Frankly, the entire thing has felt like an elaborate prank up to now.

Doesn't seem like there's much choice other than to go along with it for now.
