A TERRIBLE THING IS HAPPENING

reference books detailing myths and legends stolen from libraries...
wikipedia pages wiped clean from the face of the internet...
ancient stained glass windows smashed and destroyed...
historical research centers burnt to the ground...

Someone out there is trying very, very hard to erase all of the possible sources of power and belief of the ancient gods and goddesses. And it hurts. Whilst the powers of the minders are unharmed by the attacks, the gods and goddesses will be certainly feeling the toll: it's now painfully clear that even the simplest of miracles are now becoming almost impossible to perform.

deities, you had better have gifted your minders with some decent blessings! Because now you're going to rely on them more than ever. Someone is out to get you.

The crows are no longer so much of a priority.
SECURE THE TEN (in case this had not been made clear, we are in talks with the Phantom Queen);
the rest, consolidate and keep in custody (feel free to delegate this duty to underlings since you guys seem to be so miffed about it).
(REITERATING THE FACT THAT THEY ARE NOT TO BE EATEN OR HARMED IN ANY WAY.)

Payton is the bigger priority. Amon is already on the case; if possible, I would like Leviathan and Belphegor to be assigned as well.
PLEASE TAKE YOUR MINDERS, AND BE CAREFUL.

Mammon, please look into the transactions of money in the email that Thoth was so kind as to crack the code for.

GENERAL NOTE: CALL ME if anything should arise.
Call in back-up if you should need to.

Further information pending.

POSTSCRIPT: As per Thoth's message, please see if any of the heavier-hitting lower demons are in the vicinities of any mentioned items and have them help out.

TO: [ lucy ]

NOT POSSIBLE I DON'T NEED THOSE FUCKERS TRIPPING ME UP SEND THEM SOMEWHERE ELSE

TO: [ amon ]

everyone knows better than to get into your way.
i expect you'll have found payton by the time they catch up to you, anyhow.

TO: [ lucy ]

YOU CAN WASTE THEIR TIME IF YOU WANT BUT I'M NOT BABYSITTING

TO: [ amon ]

i'm well aware, dear.
find the fucker, please.

TO: [ big brother ]

I'm sure Amon and her two walking fists will do plenty in keeping Mr. Payton unmotivated.

TO: [ bell ]

be a doll and make sure, won't you?

TO: [ big brother ]

I'd rather be chasing birds.
I suppose everyone else is to be looking for him too.

What do we do with him?
That is, if Amon hasn't broken him first.

TO: [ bell ]

Keep him in custody.
And find out what he knows about this ordeal.

Hello, lover.
Spare a moment for an old friend, will you.

Let's have words.

I was wondering if you might show up.
Quite a day it's been.

You have my ear.

Everyone's buzzing, but I don't see your name on the boards.
Makes a girl wonder where you've gotten to.
Makes a girl think you're in the know.

Is it time?

The boy's trying not to kiss and tell.

I cannot say for sure.
No, if I have any say in it.
(Sorry, darling.)
But, again, nothing is a surety.

You know, the boy's always welcome to kiss and tell on me.
I wouldn't mind that.
Not one bit.

Been watching the news lately?
The Four are waiting.

I'll keep that in mind.
Unfortunately, it looks like I won't be able to sort this mess out on my own.

I know.
It's hardly a comfort.

What is it that you know?

Building bridges was never your strongpoint.
Much better at burning them, if I remember right.

Nothing beyond what the papers tell me.
They do like their dredge, the Four.
And so here I am, dredging, before I'm on my merry way.

TO: [ luci poo ]

...because i have an unending desire to be punched by her today. clearly i should just go running after her. and with bel in tow. brilliant plan.

[ take note that he didn't say...no. ]

TO: [ lev ]

if you actually get punched, we can discuss compensation.

love you, too, brother.

[ She's tucked up on the opposite end of the couch, flipping through channels with the volume on mute. ]

[ A few moments pass before there's a rustling noise from the other end of the couch, as Lu tries to pull himself into a proper sitting position. ]

How do you feel about Syria?

[ The remote, which she has firmly tucked into her hand which is in turn tucked under her chin, emerges and the television clicks off. ]

Good food, nice weather. Unfortunate tendency to attract on-coming apocalypses. [ A beat. Dryly: ] Why?

I may be headed that way, [ is the simple response. He pushes one hand back through his hair in an attempt to look more put-together before meeting Esther's gaze. (His tone of voice does enough to imply that this is non-negotiable.) ]

It's gonna be a bit of a hotspot, if I'm understanding things correctly.

[ The look she returns is equally non-negotiable as his tone. ]

I really wish you'd stop saying 'I'.

[ Not him, them. Always. ]

TO: [ lucylu ]
i'm all over those transactions, boss. enough ties in the banking world, i'll track that shit down. my guess? it's been bankhopping long before this. nobody is so stupid not to throw a trail. i'll be biting those breadcrumbs for ya.
