Summary of Receipt
Purson’s started preparing for Enoch and Antoinette’s departure from the Morningstar, and asks Manager 7 to set up a meeting between him and Nicole. They also fill him in on Satan’s plans, and how Manager 7’s going to try and sabotage them. Also, on a side note, apparently Manager 3 managed to ‘st[eal] from Beelzebub’s Feast’ twice (likely in the Twice Third Temple events).

[SECURITY] CAFE
Purson was very helpful and has started the paperwork to clear Enoch and Antoinette for travel to and from the Necropolis. We also updated him on the Satan situation and, like, all of that stuff. He couldn’t help with it, though I wasn’t really expecting him to be able to. He still wants me to claim the Throne of Dawn as its heir, but now just doesn’t feel like the best time, you know? Also, Purson wants to meet with Nikki over something… though he wouldn’t say what. I trust Purson a great deal, and I assume we all like trust Nikki and stuff, but I still don’t know. Something seems… funny.
S.O.T.
Purson: AHAHAHA! If it isn’t the little Morningstar! It is so good to see you again! And this must be your “attachment” you mentioned?
No. 7: Hi again, Purson! Wow… that is a tight hug, buddy. And, yes, this is my girlfriend, [No. 3].
Purson: [No. 3]… Hmm… I believe I’ve heard of you! Yes! Of course, you are the human who stole from Beelzebub’s Feast.
No. 3: Twice.
Purson: You madwoman, you! Well, I am certainly charmed to meet you. Have you come to claim your throne, [No. 7]?
No. 7: Not yet. But I have been giving it some more thought!
Purson: That is all I can ask of you. Though, I assume you’ve come to ask something of me?
No. 7: Yes, a few things, actually.
Purson: I am yours to serve, my lady. What troubles you?
No. 7: Have you been keeping up with Satan’s affairs lately?
Purson: I’ve heard rumbles that he is back in the Flipside, but not much else.
No. 7: Well… he has been filling humans up with his blood to use them as a bargaining chip. He’ll release them on the Flipside if I don’t help him “break the gate” on the 8th of next month.
Purson: I see… What gate is he trying to break?
No. 3: We thought it was the Gates to Hell at first, but now we’re less convinced. If I had to guess, it’s the gate to Eden.
Purson: To release the wretched widow, no doubt! But why does he need [No. 7]?
No. 3: We have no idea. Again, just speculation, but she has the unique power to open new worlds, and perhaps Eden is now considered a new world. At least in an esoteric sense.
Purson: That is quite the theory. And quite the problem. What do you intend to do, little Morningstar?
No. 7: I think I have to. Or, at least, I have to play the part.
Purson: One often does. Can you do it?
No. 7: Do what?
Purson: What Satan wants you to do.
No. 7: I don’t think so unless he’s planning on using the Otherworld somehow.
Purson: It’s quite the predicament. I wish I had more advice to offer, but you are in a rather precarious position. Now, you said you had a few things to discuss.
No. 7: Oh! Right. Somewhat related, we need Enoch and Antionette Langley in the Necropolis to wield their stones.
Purson: Of course, of course! Consider it done. I will get them both the proper sigils to leave the Morningstar and enter the Necropolis. Do you have a way of getting them there?
No. 3: Yes, Black Queen Cole’s attendant, Warren, can take them.
Purson: Ah, excellent! Speaking of the bewitching Black Queen… Can you relay a message for me?
No. 7: Of course!
Purson: Good. I would like it if she could find the time to meet with me. I have some things I would like to discuss with the other non-Prince of the Otherside. Nothing too important, mind you.
No. 3: We’ll make sure she gets the message. Thank you again, Purson.
Purson: Anything for my little Morningstar!
