"...You know, if solving Hell is an actual goal for you, I begin to understand the Pride."

Permalink

"Well, I think it would be more people's goal if more people thought about it. ...But yes."

Permalink

"I mean, I'm sure a lot of people would love for Hell not to be a problem anymore, but there's a difference between that and thinking it's actually possible to personally fix it."

Permalink

"Well, maybe it's not, but I haven't had all my ideas or checked all the ideas I had yet."

Permalink

"Most people would just assume they couldn't."

Permalink

"It's very sad. If more people didn't assume that it might not be a problem already."

Permalink

"If you have a good idea and there's any room in it for me to help I will, but I've mostly been focusing on Hell as a problem to me immediately and personally by trying not to go back."

Permalink

"You can help by teaching me more things! Like, what kind of demon magic can you do?"

Permalink

"Manifest wings, make people angrier than they already were, the ability to sense peoples' anger, I'm stronger than most, and some general demonic pyrokinesis."

Permalink

"Ooh, can I see your wings?"

Permalink

"Nnnnot in public," she says, gesturing to the various scurrying humans packing up the exhibit, "but maybe later."

Permalink

"Okay. Do you actually look like this besides the wings, or are you like an angel that way and you actually look completely different?"

Permalink

"I look like this. I don't think anyone knows for sure if angels actually exist, although all things considered I hope so."

Permalink

"Oh." Pause. "You said you knew religion when you started, what kinda religion?"

Permalink

"Mostly Abrahamic, but there was some Buddhism and Zoroastrianism and stuff thrown in."

Permalink

"What're Buddhism and Zoroastrianism like?"

Permalink

"Zoroastrianism has the slightly disturbing feature of setting the Devil on an equal playing field with God and Buddhism is largely about being nice to people and divorcing yourself from earthly desires so you don't suffer when the world doesn't live up to them."

Permalink

"Is there even a The Devil or just the Dukes?"

Permalink

"One of the Dukes has managed to politics at the others enough to arguably be called 'in charge'. It would be...incomplete, but not necessarily inaccurate, to call that one the Devil."

Permalink

"Which one?"

Permalink

"Is that even a meaningful question? I mean, I'm not sure saying his name is a good idea, and I doubt you know enough about Dukes of Hell for me to distinguish him from the rest."

Permalink

"I know some stuff, but if you don't want to tell me you don't have to. What would saying his name do?"

Permalink

"I don't know for sure that saying his name would do anything on Earth; I haven't tested it. But in Hell it would definitely be a bad idea. Names have power, and sometimes it's best not to say one if you don't want its owner's attention."

Permalink

"Is getting attention the only power of the name?"

Permalink

"The only one I know of for sure, but...attention doesn't mean the same thing down there."
