i know i know haha.... youre all lookin at us cuz we sorta haha took a portal opened by mammon to mayda so we could steal shiz from another prince of hell. ahahah...
WELL! I CANT HELP THAT WE ARE CURRENTLY OWNED BY A PRINCE WHO HAPPENS TO CONDONE STEALING! also also also also per the iron clad terms of the soul accord mammon OR his agents (THATS US) are allowed to take anything from another plane at anytime. okay? so... no finger wagging. also we arent exactly the best at fighting off giant splitting cosmic horror jellyfish and telling us to "just hang tight while we go fight a bunch of eldritch horrors!" nah uh. we gotta do stuff too ya know. well more stuff than just fighting finfolk over and over.
soooooo yeah. to cover our tracks, mammon opened a portal to the tempest THEN we swam to asmayda soooo i think levi's gonna be all like "whyd they go there is there something missing from tempest let me check no everything seems okay" plus does he even bother to check the tempest? orrr like any place in mayda?? i know i wouldn't if i was a busy prince of hell fighting off an onslaught of endless eldritch horrors.
was it a success though??? wellllll you decide seeing as we now have the precious pearl of poseidon! just as mammon expected it washed right up to the shore of asmayda. now the tricky part... giving him the pearl. i mean we are witnessing the power it holds right now. do we really want to give mammon this kinda power to use himself??? but then on the other hand he IS the owner of the cafe now right? so... not like we have a choice. luckily he wasnt interested in the pearl on its own because its only a third of the full thing and he doesnt take "spare change" or whatever. AND! we also got a notebook from satan! how cool is that? i mean ya ok we cant like read it yet but uhhhh we'll work on that. or maybe the managers can.
