Transcript

RECEIPT AS OF: 8/25/01
BARISTA ON DUTY: MAROCCHINO
RECEIPT FILED AS: C-SOS-04

I got to have an intimate chat with Lexie, the Siren of the Seven Sins Soiree. Nothing terribly interesting, though it does seem like she wants me to play in her band at Asmodeus’ new nightclub. It could be a good opportunity to keep an eye on Mistress, and I wouldn’t mind doing it. Not that I’m asking for permission, especially from 8. But if it’s actually a horrible idea (and not just because I’m spending time with Lexie), let me know.

S.O.T.

Marocchino: Hey there, Gills. Miss me?

Mrs. Ligeia: Hehe! It was lonely without you last week.

Marocchino: You know, it’s funny—every time I’ve been here, I’ve seen more and more humans. You wouldn’t happen to know anything about that, would you?

Mrs. Ligeia: Oh, [Marocchino]. Always with the accusations… Maybe the humans just enjoy a good party. Did you ever think of it like that?

Marocchino: Well, sure, if by “party,” you mean being hypnotized by your song and then possibly served up as hors d’oeuvres.

Mrs. Ligeia: Hehe, that’s so gross. Demons don’t eat humans, you know! Well, not a lot of demons anyway. Besides, I can’t help it if my music is so seductive, can I?

Marocchino: Well, you do have a rather seductive voice. Still—it’s hypnotically so.

Mrs. Ligeia: Oh puh-lease, [Marocchino]. I’m not the only one in the room with “seductive” talents.

Marocchino: Oh?

Mrs. Ligeia: Come on… I’ve seen the way you flirt. You’re not innocent yourself.

Marocchino: Hey! Don’t think you can swim your way out of this, Lexie. What’s Asmodeus’ end game?

Mrs. Ligeia: I’m just her singer, not her secretary. Why don’t you go ask her boy toy, Nabby? Or are you ah-fraid of him?

Marocchino: Afraid? Of Naberius Cerberus? I’ve dealt with a lot worse than him.

[Marocchino brushed the hair covering her right eye out of her face revealing her blood-stained eye.]

Mrs. Ligeia: …Oh. What happened?

Marocchino: Something worse than Naberius. All these Asmodians are softies compared to the haunts of the Hauntaurskald.

Mrs. Ligeia: Mm… Still… Don’t take Asmodeus or her Marquis lightly. Best to swim with the current than to try and fight it.

Marocchino: I’ve always been one to swim against the current. It’s a nice workout.

Mrs. Ligeia: Hehe, I’m sure I could show you a better way to expend all that energy.

Marocchino: Oh, yeah, Gills? I’ll think about it. But you’d have to stop luring humans in first.

Mrs. Ligeia: Oh, sure! I mean, I’m not gonna be working here for much longer anyway.

Marocchino: Really?

Mrs. Ligeia: Yeah! Naberius put together a full band for Asmodeus’ next nightclub. And this one should be far away from any humans! At least, that’s what I’ve heard. You play bass, right?

Marocchino: Yeah, but—

Mrs. Ligeia: Well, we don’t have a bassist yet! Piper is gonna be on keys, Orpheus is our lead guitarist, and, believe it or not, Naberius is on drums.

Marocchino: No way, Naberius is a drummer?

Mrs. Ligeia: He’s sort of a jack of all trades! Master of all arts and all that.

Marocchino: …You know what? I’ll have to talk to Naberius about it.

[Mrs. Ligeia let out an excited giggle.]

E.O.T.
