Is this truly the focus of the City? ( There is a pained yelp in the background and then a nasty thud. ) Do you have no pride?!

Do not touch me! ( No yelp or thud resounds this time. Instead, the sound of pavement cracking under the force of a blade and great wings flapping follows that warning.

. . . ) Foolish humans. I am in no mood to dance.

( Truthfully, she has never been in the mood to dance. )

Can't you see there are greater matters to attend to?! Why are you so complacent? ( And sparkly. ) Like cattle to the slaughter.

I know there is more to you than this! ( The sound of fabric being ripped ends the feed.

Somewhere in the City, a glittery costume is falling from the heavens. )

Would the Not-friends be the devils here?

No. Adam Kadamon is an angel - an angel that outranks every other angel. ( Omg I want to see this Pokemon. )

He uses his creations for his own amusement. Someone like that doesn't deserve a position of power.

And some of the angels.

He's like the angel-king? [ His powers would include making weird bad shit happen. ] The world you come from sounds more like a human world. [ Now just toss coercive organizations and emotionless Contractors in the mix. ]

Are they siding with this Not-Nice God?

[confined_to_briah]

In a way, though he generally doesn't involve himself in their matters. ( Unless it benefits him and/or god. )

Angels are no better than humans. I've found more respectable qualities in Demons.

[confined_to_briah]

Some of them are; others simply don't care.

filter;

[mortemscintilla]

But don't demons hurt people?

filter;

[mortemscintilla]

As long as they're not causing trouble here too.

The City's chaotic enough.

filter;

[confined_to_briah]

Only when it benefits them.

filter;

[confined_to_briah]

I can't make any promises about that. ( She might cause problems. )

filter; 1/2

[mortemscintilla]

All the same. I'd rather stay clear of them.

I'm only human.

[ Liessss. Well. Sorta. ]

filter;

[mortemscintilla]

...Is there something serious happening here too?

filter;

[confined_to_briah]

If you are less powerful and less crafty, I would advise not dealing with them.

filter;

[confined_to_briah]

Do you like being controlled?

[mortemscintilla]

I'll keep that in mind.

[ Except he's not as harmless -- or innocent -- as he looks. ]

filter;

[mortemscintilla]

No.

I don't think anyone does.

filter;

[confined_to_briah]

( She's not jumping to any conclusions about him. She just knows that Demons are, generally, quite clever. Especially the ones located in the City. )

Then there's a problem already.

filter;

[mortemscintilla]

...Are you going to fight the Deities?

filter;

[confined_to_briah]

I might.

filter;

[mortemscintilla]

[ He wonders if it's wise to announce such intent on the Network. Filters are easily hacked. ]

But what if it becomes a full-scale war?

filter;

[confined_to_briah]

( Not much scares her. )

I'm ready for that. Change won't happen unless someone stands up and acts.

filter;

[mortemscintilla]

[ It's habit. His profession deals in deception. ]

Do you have a plan?

filter;

[confined_to_briah]

( Welcome to the AS universe. )

I need those who are willing to fight beside me.

filter;

[mortemscintilla]

You might have takers. Who knows. The City's full of powerful creatures.

[ He wouldn't get involved. Not unless he was 100% sure of success. Not unless he had something to gain from it. ]
