You are an IMP, one of the lowliest, most numerous, and most expendable residents in all the Circles of HELL.

Ever since the day you were spawned from the nightmares of mortals, you've been told over and over that you aren't special. Just one of Six Hundred Sixty-Six Hecktillion Six Hundred Sixty-Six so on and so forth other little pests that scurry through the Circles. Each and every one tries to do what all demons do, make a name for themselves. That's both literal and figurative, mind you, as the latter cannot come without the former. Some Imps try to tough it on their own, some try to gather a group to strike out with, while others lay themselves down as pets and servants for stronger denizens of Hell. There's as many methods and hustles out there as there are little freaks like you.

But even though you don't have a True Name, one you can be summoned and one day worshipped by, doesn't mean you haven't picked up a nickname from your fellow competition. Go on, don't be shy. We promise not to laugh much.

>Gloomsday Blare
There you are, you handsome devil you. Not quite apocalyptic enough for doomsday, but you can still make someone's day a real bitch if you're feeling the right kind of spiteful.

You'd gotten by well enough so far, certainly better than a majority of the poor unfortunate souls who shuffle around down here. A few friends and a bag full of favors can really work wonders if you know how to use them. You got a tip from one of your, ahem, contacts in the Circle of Lust that a certain Succubus has been making waves lately. Probably just some upstart looking to gather up a band of lazy-eyed simps, but it never hurts to check in on something like this. If you're clever, you can even snatch yourself a favor or two, the kind people can't refuse.

Arriving at the Succubus' suspected basement-nightclub, you're damned surprised to see not a soul in sight. Strange, at this hour even the least popular party spots in Lust are packed fuller than its loosest denizens. Even the speakers are silent, giving way to something downright eerie around here. Silence.

You can only tap around an empty dance floor, plotting how you could haul a speaker twice your size by yourself, before the irritation sets in. This was supposed to be a Succubus' joint, wasn't it? Where's the damned Succubus! You stamp your hoof and cross your arms before raising your voice to a shout!

"Expose myself, did you say?"

There comes a sultry, echoing chuckle through the acoustics of the nightclub, dancing on your ears like a fly-trap melody. The air becomes thick, heavy, and sweet with an atmosphere of power. It's almost intoxicating...

"Someone comes into my lair, an Imp no less, and thinks to make demands of me?"

In a great gout of blue flames a (sinfully shapely) figure rises from the ground, stretching her wings out to eclipse you from the colored lights. Her heart-tipped tail swishes playfully along her legs as she steps forwards with arms spread wide. A long, pointed tongue flicks from her lips in another hum of a laugh.

"Come now, little Imp. Don't think you can address me as you would any other simple demon of the carnal circle. Don't you know who I am~?"

>You have no idea who this is, but she definitely feels a league above other Succubi you've met

"Aww, you do remember. How could you ever forget the best thing to ever happen to you, right? But they don't call me what they used to, you know. It's JUBILEE now, and I've missed you too my little Gloomy~"

Jubilee sets her chin on her palm and flutters her alluring lashes at you, small flicks of blue fire glittering at she does. Damn it! Not only has she gotten hotter since you broke things off, but she's gotten stronger than you too! With a True Name and everything! Is there no justice in the Hells?

"Word really must have gotten around if even you decided to come to me. It seems I always underestimate just how quickly rumors spread. I have to say though, it's such a shame to see that you haven't changed a bit... Or is it a pleasure? You always did look best if my Circle's colors~"

You make a note to strangle Klarion, your rumormonger in Lust, as you start turning to leave, but Jubilee catches you by the tail with a familiar jolt. She's even remembered your favorite spots, bleh!

"What are you going so soon for? I tell you I've managed to get a True Name and the first thing you do is try to leave? That really hurts, Gloomy... If you can't pretend to be a little happy for me, can't you at least be happy for yourself? You were the first one to come to mind when I thought about who I should make the devil on my shoulder..."

...Now that perks your ears. She does make a good point, the opportunity to be a named demon's right hand Imp doesn't come even once in a lifetime. And one who wants you doesn't come in ten thousand! If you're smart about it, an arrangement like this could do wonders for the both of you...

You've always been a shrimp even for an Imp, but you often find ways to make your shortcoming work as a boon. If you were to ask Jubilee you imagine she'd say that certain other factors balance out your lack of verticality.

>Hold your Hell horses, what's the catch? This already sounds too good to be true.
"The catch? You sound like you've been swinging around in Greed too much, Gloomy. Other than being mine and mine alone, this relationship has no strings attached."

She winks, a long pointed tongue dancing across her lips

"Unless you'd like that sort of play~"

>Alright, I'm listening. I bet you already have a scheme to start cooking, don't you?
"Lovely!" Clapping her hands, the Succubus bounces giddily on her feet. "What a sweet relief, I wasn't sure you'd say yes to me... It really must have been --forgive my swearing-- some providence that we'd pick things up again now."

As swift as ever, Jubilee wraps you in a marshmallow hug as she hums out another laugh. You'll admit it's been a while since you late got a nice tight squeeze, but who can tell how genuine it is. Succubi are masters of deception and manipulation after all.

"And how right you are, my little Imp. I've got a smorgasbord of plots to get steaming, and with the two of us there's plenty to do, but where to start... Oho, I think I have an idea! Why don't you tell me what Circle you've been itching to visit lately, hm? Just say the word and we can scratch it together~"

You manage to catch the intrusive thought before it escapes your mouth, but Jubilee smirks at you all the same. Just as some monsters can smell fear, Succubi can sense when someone is down bad.

"It's alright to pick the best Circle, mine of course. Doesn't it feel good to give into your more base desires~?"

She laughs and flicks a finger up your chin, the tantalizing gesture marked with a deep, hungry hum.

"But let's handle business before pleasure, Gloomy. Though when business is such a pleasure, who's to say they can't mix? You see, there's a masquerade happening right now --you know what kind-- and a number of named demons from across the Circles just so happen to be indulging in the festivities. I don't need to tell you how much of a gold mine for favors and blackmail this could be, especially when their lodgings are in the same sticky building."

>Limbo
"The First Circle? Don't tell me you're in a goth girl phase... Or a history nerd phase?"

Jubilee sticks her tongue out at both notions, waving away the thoughts and thots with a dismissive hand.

"Actually, if it's that last one this might be up your alley. There's a group of Sinners up in Monochrome Hell that've been banding together for a good long while now and looking to start their own enterprise. Or was it empire? Either way, they've been able to scare off the weak and the dumb up there with some decent military might. The way I see it, any good demon worth their horns needs a legion at their command, right? Whipping these ex-mortals in line should be some ferocious foreplay."

>Scout out the Sinner legion in Limbo.
Jubilee sighs in disappointment, but accepts your choice with a smile. She picks her feet lazily off the ground, crossing her legs over one another as her wings flap to keep her floating beside you. Round and round she slowly circles, like a predator over prey.

"Oh alright... but if we end up with only sloppy seconds by the time we come back, I'm taking it out on you!"

Before you can protest or ask what that entails, the Succubus grabs you up and the two of you disappear in a whirlwind of cerulean fire.

-----

Black, white, and shades of grey. They call it Monochrome Hell for a reason, usually not very polite ones. In the First Circle of Hell, gothic meets visigothic, neo-pagans dance with paleo-pagans, and weird autistic freaks gather in their weird autistic cabals just like they did in the human world. The population up here is mostly Sinners, dead mortals that Saint Peter, the condescending prick, decided weren't up to snuff and barred from Heaven. These aren't even the scandalous kinds you find deeper in too. Minos should really start being more harsh with his judgements...
Being the shallowest Circle you'd think there'd be tons of demons trying to claw their way up Lucifer's Crater, but no demon without a True Name can reach the mortal realm on their own, and those that have them tend to have better things to do these days. Humans just aren't scared of Hell like they were back in the good ol' days. Maybe one day that'll change...

In another burst of color, you appear among the shadowy streets of Limbo. Some nearby Sinners scream and flee for their lack of lives --they must be new here-- while others look at the two of you with some interest. Jubilee sets you down, brushes you off, and whistles at you.

"Now that's a look... I still think Lust blue suits you better, but you did always look so tasty in stripes~"

She rolls her tongue in a growl and delivers a firm smack to your backside. Setting her cloven feet back down on the cracked concrete beneath you, she looks around at the seedy building scenery around you.

"Here we are, Gloomy. You wanted to come here, so I'm guessing you had something in mind? If you like, we can scratch your little itch before finding those naughty Sinners~"

>Like you said, let's take care of business first. Then we can move on to pleasure.
>You didn't have anything in mind, but you're not going to let her know that. Take the lead and wander around, you'll probably run into something fun, right?
>You've had a hankering for something in particular, and you know just the place to get it taken care of. [What do you do and/or where do you go?]

>Observe Lucifer's Crater
>Seek info on the "group of Sinners up in Monochrome Hell that've been banding together for a good long while now". If Jubilee knows where they're gathering, let's see if we can eavesdrop on one of their meetings.
Personally, the first circle is really interesting just because of how it's the borderlands of Hell. Limbo/Purgatory is a weird concept, and I'm curious how the crater works, and the gaps between heaven/hell/earth work.

After we take a look around (or during) we should try and spot that legion and see what their deal is. Maybe Jubilee can spill a bit more about what she thinks we may need this backing for? Oh, and by the way, how exactly would we get this bunch into the other layers of hell? Would we need to work with other demons to secure passage?

>>5629787
>>You've had a hankering for something in particular, and you know just the place to get it taken care of. [What do you do and/or where do you go?]
Limbo is the closest circle to the mortal realm and while demons can't cross over without a name, sometimes items fall down here. Lost and forgotten things. Usually nothing interesting, left socks, car keys, homework and of course old toys. But you know a guy who knows a guy who works at the Dreg Heap and apparently got his hands on something juicy. Time to pick it up.

"The Dreg Heap? That... disgusting place? I see you've made friends in, er, certain places, Gloomy."

The Succubus makes no attempt to hide her contempt for your destination. Not that she doesn't have a reason. The Dreg Heap is exactly as it sounds, a fathom of horrid refuse disappeared from the human world where only the sickening and depraved denizens of Limbo squat. Some act as custodians of the vast and treacherous grounds, keeping the spawn in line as well as prospecting among the junk for their own gain.
You came into contact with one of these custodians by chance, a friend of a friend of an acquaintance of a relative's second younger cousin three times removed and turned inside out, who you happened to make a mutually beneficial deal with. After a few favors you'd rather not think about at the moment, she's agreed to keep an eye out among the heap for anything that might be of interest to you, and lately she says she's come up with a certain surprise...

"Just so long as we don't stay for longer than needed, I'll forgive you for making me enter that horrible pit. A second time however... and I expect you to be willing to acquiesce to a good few demands."

-----

Past the urban gothic architecture, past the gloomy forests and overfull graveyards --where only those who wish they were deader than dead are buried-- lies the great yawning maw of the Dreg Heap. Just in front of the limits to the abhorrent depths sits a simple booth, where a lone custodian has squeezed inside to enjoy educational reading material from a selection of Circles below. A mass of appendages each wielding rueful axes of all different kinds shifts to peek its head out with a sharp, unnaturally widened grin.

"Ahh, there you are. I was wondering when you'd come to collect. And I see you've brought a lady friend..."

The Axe Mass, Headys, clicks the multiple tongues in her mouth at the sight of Jubilee, who scrunches her nose in disgust. The Succubus picks her feet off the ground once more as to not sully herself with its and its inhabitants' unsightliness.

"Too busy to grab your, eh, 'mail' these days, Blare? You've been a busy little Imp lately, haven't you. And that stench from the semen demon... Ahh, you'll only get busier I see. Lucky boy."

>I'm not here to chat, Headsman. Hand over what's mine, I've got other business to get to.

"Hag...? Dohoho, don't act so sassy with me, little boy. Pretend you're better all you like, I know you've thought about what I can do with all these hands. You are an Imp after all."

She takes your jab with a tone of humor, wriggling her countless fingers in hypnotic patters as her tongues meld together into one thick, fat, slobbery appendage. There's a pop as her jaw unhinges to let the mass hang only partways out from her maw.

"Bah! They'll grow back. There's only one thing sloppy about me, Blare, and it isn't my axemanship!"

Headys cackles with a scratchy voice, waving a few fresh stumps around. Jubilee sneers once more, thoroughly unimpressed, or so she seems.

"That's nothing." The Succubus quips offhandedly. "Limbo may be the topmost Circle, but it really is home to the bottom of the barrel."

"Resent it? What are you, a demon rights activist? You Imps are pests in every sense, don't tell me you've forgotten! Just 'cause you trot around with a hot piece of ass doesn't change that. Typical Imp, thinking they're hot shit the second they get a lick of power..."

Headys snorts as her tongue splits back apart and wriggles back into her mouth one bit at a time. Jubilee's brow furrows as he wings flap to hold her upright in the air. She crosses her arms and glares down at the Axe Mass with a face holding nothing but contempt.

"Do you know who you're talking to? I am Jubilee of the Second Circle, and wretches like you will address me and my subjects with respect. Bow, and beg forgiveness."

As Jubilee invokes her name, both you and the Axe Mass shiver from the mere sound as it demands your respect. Despite her large stature, Headys' head sinks low as her many legs kneel in submission. Power is the law, and not one to break lightly.

"Forgive me, Lady Jubilee... I-I spoke too freely..."

>I'm going to pretend I didn't hear any of that and move on. What've you got for me, Headys?
You can't help but smirk at the sight of the Axe Mass brought low. Still, you have better things to do than bully Headys some more. That can always come later.

"A-Ah, right, your package."

The Mass' eyes tentatively look upwards to Jubilee, who waves a hand for her to get on with it. A selection of arms dig underneath her ratty collection of cloaks, tarps, and such which keep her decent --If she can be called such in any state--

"I was going to ask for something in return, but I can hardly make demands from a slav- er, high s-subject like you, yes...?"

Hedd sheepishly present to you...

The three of you have to shield your eyes from the shine as Headys unravels the thick cloth she'd wrapped the weapon in. Just the light alone stings your watering sight and rubs your much exposed skin the wrong way. With a flick of her tail, Jubilee throws the cloth covering back overtop the revolver, hissing in disgust.

"What sort of game are you playing?!" Jubilee shouts, shaking off her hands as if something dreadfully nasty had covered them. "Just what kind of abhorrent weapon do you think you're trying to give to my Gloomy?! How did you even find such garbage!"

"I-I meant no harm, I swear! Blare told me to keep an eye open for something to help, eh, raise his status and... well, I found this in the lower depths of the Dreg Heap. It burned off one of my hands, so I figured it must be a real treat for someone like him..."

And something special this surely is. From the taste of pain it brought, you're sure this weapon could do some real damage against any sort of demon, possibly even kill one. Though... that definitely includes you should you handle it wrong. Talk about a double-edged gun.

"So... What do you think? Good find, right? Maybe I deserve a little reward, eh...?"

Jubilee flashes Headys a sharp glare, who flinches at the demoness

"O-Only if you wish, of course... Attendant Blare..."

Opening and jingling your pouch, Headys drops the wrapped weapon into it's seemingly endless interior. You have to admit, it was a pretty good find. However, as you mull over what sort of reward you should award the Axe Mass, a thought enters your head... one that makes Jubilee raise a brow

"Now just what is going on inside that head of yours, Gloomy? Don't tell me you'd consider doing anything with this horrid..."

Once you make your intentions known, neither you nor Jubilee can hardly believe what you've said. All of Headys' eyes go wide, as does her grin at the prospect

"Haaah? An Imp? And the Lady Succubus? Oho, I'd only read something like this in my novels... I'm interested."

Jubilee stares at you for only a short moment more before reverting into her usual sultry smile. Despite the scenery, she sets her feet back on the ground then picks you up by the rump, holding you just an inch below eye level.

"I'm glad you got over your issue, Gloomy. Are you watching, wretch?"

You want this just to be a reward for a demonist helper, nothing more than that... But feeling Jubilee's lips, tongue, and teeth again, you know it can never really be just business. Like tasting water after a decade's hike through the desert, or an addict relapsing into the sweetest of vices, the euphoria hits harder than any minotaur charge could.

Though if you're going to enjoy it, might as well make sure the audience does too. Side-eyeing the Axe Mass, you can see she's already quite enthralled by the performance. Let's see just how much she likes it when you do a bit of...

-----

"...Hwaaa, I call next..."

Jubilee sets you down and dabs off her face with a giggle. The whole trio present share faces deeply flushed and all satisfied with the experience. As Headys fans herself with no less than thirteen hands you reach into your pouch and flick a small card her way.

"Huoh? A-An IOU? Wha- you think I need something like this from a lowly I-Imp?" The Mass stammers, pulling herself out of her stupor. She grumbles and pockets the note. "Hmph...You'd better make good on it, Blare."

"Hell's teeth, Gloomsday... is that how you've been feeling? It's not healthy to bottle things like that up, you know~"

Taking a second to fix her appearance, the Succubus once more kicks up her legs and lounges in the air. She puts a hand on your head and ruffles your hair.

"Well... this turned out to be a better errand than I expected. Still, we do have other things to do, Gloomy. Stay basking in the afterglow and you'll never make it to round two~"

With business concluded you and Jubilee head off back towards the more, or less, civilized parts of Limbo, leaving Headys to mull over what to do with an IOU and a head full of deviant thoughts.

-----

It's taken you a while to place what this Circle smells like, but after passing that last group of gothy Sinners, you think you have it. The smoke of cheap cigarettes, the stank of fresh spray paint, and the sulfur-twinged sighs of the newly dead.

Angst. The artsy kind. That's what it smells like.

Like a port in a storm of indie and industrial, Jubilee has been humming a soft, sweet tune all the way from the Dreg Heap. She must be in a good mood.

Jubilee smirks at you as she traces a claw along your ear when she passes by.

"Isn't it obvious? Honestly Gloomy, if you can't take a guess then I suppose you'll just have to wait till I decide to tell. While you churn those gears in your head through... What size suit do you wear these days, hm?"

You hate it when she does that. It's NEVER obvious! In retaliation for clearly trying to make a fool of you, you proudly proclaim that you haven't worn clothes since the day you spawned.

"Now that just isn't true!" She laughs mirthfully, though strangely without a hint of her usual subtle condescension. "I clearly remember a certain event in Greed with the... Oh, well I suppose you did end up sloshed quite quickly. It was such a cute little tux though, it's almost a shame it didn't stay on for long..."

>Chat up the locals too see what they can tell. That is, if you can corner one long enough to get some good tips
With the amount of dark, dirty alleyways around here it makes it hard to catch a Sinner before they can slip away, but with you and Jubilee working together you manage to get a trio of twitchy little squirrels to box themselves against one another. They surrender to your questions easily, especially once you put a little bit of classic demon growl in your voice.

"L-Look we'll do whatever you want, just don't eat us!"
"Or stab us with pitchforks in lava and shit, man!"
"And use our bodies as your demon playthings!"

The other two look to give the third a strange look, while the last defensively raises their hands

"What, I-I'm just covering our bases!"
"Shut up! Y-yeah, I've seen those guys around. They're old, right? Like, from a billion years ago or something? They took over my friend's favorite club a couple days, uh, weeks, I-I dunno but the point is they're set up at the place called Sacrifice!"
"I think there's u-uh, sorta three groups in their gang, and they make the whole things together. They're old, but I heard they managed to get their hands on stuff from our time too!"

"Y-You see! I told you there were gonna-"
One of the Sinners slaps their comrade, who now seems rather flushed in the face.
"W-We don't know much, we swear! They have Sacrifice set up like some kinda camp, a battlestation or whatever! And they've got guards and guns and swords and shit! But we're not with them, so- so don't do us in like those guys!"
"I heard from a friend that there's three main guys in there. A big tall dude who has a lion for a head, an even more huger guy with crazy red eyes, and a super hot babe covered in tattoos and stuff! I don't remember their names b-but they sounded funky. Like, uh, Spanish maybe?"

The three look between each other for anything else their braincells can rub up, but resort instead to begging for their lives. Typical Sinner behavior.

>Thanks for the info, but we're not done with you three yet. Do as we say and we might not sew you all together back to front!

Now that you've gotten all you're going to from these losers, you mull over what to do with them. You could use the fodder if you plan on storming the place, but they don't look much like frontline material. Or any line for that matter. Just letting them run free feels like a waste though, what are you, an altruist? You could probably squeeze something out of them if you put your mind to it...

A whip of your tail gets their asses in gear, scampering off towards club Sacrifice while you and Jubilee mosey on along in their panicked wake.

"You'd better have something by the time we find you! You don't want to know what some in the Second Circle do with their slaves~!"

-----

A tall, sharp steeple, long windows of monochrome stained glass, and a perimeter manned by mean-looking fellows in ancient armor and war paints. While the majority are armed with the weapons they held in life, some among them have managed to get their hands on more modern weaponry, likely stolen from other Sinners. It really is a jungle sometimes. Make you wonder how they keep from going under.
Probably the guns, they look pretty mean.

The two of you look down at a hastily drawn map on the floor, presented by three groveling Sinners. The diagram details what all they could see of the inside through the windows, as well as particular areas to steer clear of and some suggested points of entry. All in all, for them only having a few minutes to put it all together, they didn't do half bad. Now let's see here...

>Head for the main entrance. Thankfully there's no bouncer here, just a full squad of armed and dangerous pagan warriors. It's not the smartest approach, but it would be pretty badass to storm the front door.
>Creep inside through one of the back windows. Looks like you could climb to an open pane to slip into the untrustworthy rafters above the main dance floor. You're pretty light, and Jubilee can float, so you'll probably be fine. Probably.
>Duck underground through the sewer system. Sure it's gross, but it's likely the sneakiest way in for a sneaky little Imp like you. The biggest issue with it is that sewer access leads into a part of the club the trio couldn't map out. Mysterious.

If Sinners deserved rewards they wouldn't be in Hell.

>Creep inside through one of the back windows.
Skulking around to the rear of the club, you find that some tasteful decorative hedges have spread some rather climbable looking vines up the side of the building. And what ho, with a bit of effort on your part you find that it leads to a rather openable looking pane in the window! Everything's coming up Gloomsday!

-----

"Careful, Gloomy. You wouldn't look nearly as cute splatted against the dance floor~"

Jubilee titters as he holds you by the tail, still trying to recapture your wayward balance. One look at the rickety rafters, especially the panel that nearly sent you on a long layover to pain town, tells you all you need to know about how unstable this thing is.
Thankfully with all the loud music and sounds of training below none of the countless sinners seem to have noticed your slip up. It's as the Sinners said, this place is a veritable war camp fit with barracks, training grounds, armorers and more. They seem to be generally keeping to three groups on three separate sides of the club, only crossing paths when they need to. You're no history buff, so you wisely decide to dub the three groups the Plumes, the Wings, and the Pelts after their most distinctive features.
There's a lot more of them than there are of you, and you've got to somehow convince or force them to work as Jubilee's demon legion. The question now is how...

>Get a feel for the vibe among the common Sinners.
Making use of some shady corners, out of the lights that shine down from the rafters, you and Jubilee descend to ground level. It's a busy place down here full of all kinds of sounds. Sharpening of steel, clearing of firearms, grunts of physical training, but the kind you're most interested in is the chattering among the fellows. If you lean in just close enough, you can make out a few common sentiments...

"We spend all day sitting around and preparing... but for what?! I want action! If I have to spend another day polishing my sword, I'm going to wet it with someone's blood."

"So... which of the triumvirate is in charge? I know they say they lead equally, but I don't see any of them doing much leading. It's more like they all just keep each other from doing anything..."

"Bah, I'm sick of all the bickering! The first one to step up and point us towards glory and conquest is the one I'll follow! No questions asked, my axe is theirs."

>See about sneaking to another area of the club.
From here at ground level you can see plenty of places to move to. How useful they'll turn out to be is another matter though.
On the other side of the floor is a stage hosting a grand statue of an angel reaching upwards and weeping. Pretty classic stuff, mocking the freshly fallen, and pretty funny if done right. In front of it looks to be a makeshift throne of sorts, though nobody sits on it. King of Sinners, now that's funny.
Behind the bar not a single tender can be found. It's a sad day for Sacrifice, the once delicious contents of its shelves now tasting only of rusted steel and dented protection. The doors behind likely don't lead to a kitchen anymore, at least not one you could find a snack in, but rather a stockpile of sorts.
A staircase between the bar and stage leads up to a second story balcony, which in turn leads to a large VIP room. Normally you'd never have a dream of getting into one of those, but the tides of fortune seem to be changing in your favor these days. Maybe if you're lucky there'll be a famous someone you could coerce an autograph out of.

I feel like, from the description of this option, it was implied to also choose a destination based on the text given like:
Stage with throne
Kitchen stockpile
Staircase to vip room

Otherwise poor gloomy would have to truly split himself into three to the horror of Jubilee.

"Tricks? Well... I can't say I've ever been able to change someone else's appearance, but now that I have a True Name..."

Jubilee swishes around you a few times, gesturing with her arms and tracing with her tail before finally kissing two fingers and planting it right on your nose. At first you don't feel any difference, but when you look down you see that you're suddenly clad in armor similar to what some of the Sinners here wear! Your hand goes right through when you try to touch it, and it feels like you're (still) wearing nothing at all... nothing at all... nothing at all...

"Oh look at you! My little soldier boy... I don't usually care much for a man in uniform, but with you it makes me want to see something stand at attention~"
"As for myself... Oh, let's try this!"

With a deep breath in, Jubilee trails her hands up from her hooves, along the soft of her curves, and all the way to the tips of her horns. Her features disappear in the wake of her claws, leaving her completely invisible! She laughs at her own success, giving you a surprise pinch to the bum. Already using her newfound abilities for evil...

>corner the scrawniest loner and grill them for info
Nobody seems to pay you much mind in your new duds, so traversing the dance floor fortunately isn't much of a hassle. You manage to find one of the smaller Sinners --not quite as small as you, but that'd be asking a lot-- and corner him with a wicked grin.

"A-Ah! Th-The, um, the Triumvirate? They're, u-uh... well, you know, right? Leo Belisarius, Wulfhardt of Black Woods, and Eithne the Witch? That's them! I think they're having a meeting up in the high room now, but really I-I don't know much. I just do as I'm told..."

If most of the fighters here are as craven as this one, they might not be much of a fighting legion after all. Thankfully, after you shove the weakling into a much larger soldier, you get a front row show at how violent they can be. Poor bastard.

>barge in the vip lounge
A VIP is a fine thing to be, unless they're on the other end of your gun, that is. Provided you can handle the thing... but that's a problem for later. The problem right now is the two toughs standing guard outside the main door to the private rooms. They look pretty brawny, and whipping our your gun might just draw the rest of the club to come and club your ass into dust. Hmm, if you were a smart Imp, what would you do...

>Put your wily words to work and whip up a wealth of witty and winding wullabaloos. In short, give 'em the ol' razzle dazzle to let you pass.

"Kill them? Gloomy, you know Succubi don't come from Wrath, don't you?"

Jubilee titters and hums in through, the sound of snapping fingers coming soon after.

"Killing them would be a waste! Their future job is to get killed by other demons, not us. Thankfully, I have just the idea to put to the test. Say, why don't you go and chat them up while I work out the right incantation?"

A light swish trails along your arm as the unseen demoness moves from your side. Figuring it's probably worth a shot you approach the two guards who stand like a duo of enormous watchtowers compared to you. They perform a gesture you're sure you've seen before from some Sinners with a different accent. A strange looking salute, probably given because your armor is more impressive than theirs.

"Hail, sergeant, but I cannot let you go any further. The Triumvirate is meeting now and asked they not be disturbed."

Yeah, achtung or whatever, time to work your devil's tongue. With just a few simple quips you catch the two's attention hook, line, and sinker. Trapped in the vortex of your wordplay and double entendre, they scarcely even notice the nigh unnoticeable presence that creeps between them.

Only a mere moment after she reappears, beginning her chant, she places her hands over their eyes and the two fall into a deep, hypnotic sleep. They say fear is the little death that brings annihilation, but looking at the still wide and glazed over eyes of the guards, you're willing to change your answer to whatever Jubilee slipped them.

"Tadaaa~! I call it the Lotus Eater, and don't worry my little Imp. They'll be fine once I release them from their sweet dream... Remind me to do that later, would you?"

>Whip out your gun and kick the door in. Time to stop all this pussyfooting around and get with the gum kicking and ass chewing!

Play it cool, guy. No need to rush things now. Sure there's a masquerade full of debauchery most Imps could only fantasize about open to you and your lady friend, but you can't really enjoy it if you're a mess of pulp in the Dreg Heap now can you? Don't answer that.

"The men have been training and preparing for what feels like months now. They hunger for battle, for conquest, for glory, and so do I! Why are we still sitting here behind our walls like a bunch of cowardly skirt-wearers?!"
"Cowardly? Need I remind you who it was that civilized your pathetic people, you bloodthirsty barbarian? The men will wait for the right opportunity, not trapse around like naked animals as you two are so keen to do."
"The both of you are insufferable. Neither your tactics nor your bloodlust will give us the opportunity we need. Only the magics of this land and its spirits will grant me the power I so richly deserve."
"What you deserve is a smack across the mouth and a gag to shut it. Keep your infernal tricks to yourself lest you burn us all in the flames alongside you."
"I've half a mind to throw you both in those flames myself! Either we make terms here and now, or I take the men with strength and spines and leave you with the whelps and cowards!"
"Half a mind is all you have. You'll take the brutes to get themselves killed or enslaved just like you did in life. Those wise enough to know better will follow me."

The bickering continues, seemingly going nowhere at all without a little outside influencing. Thankfully, it sounds like just the three of them in there. Sure two on three isn't the best of odds, but they didn't count of your equalizer...

>Fuck it, we'll do it live! BUST 'EM ALL OUT!
All three heads of the Triumvirate are caught with their pants down and in the hamper as you kick open the door full of swagger and braggart, throwing out demands and invoking Jubilee's Name for good measure! The combined surprise with your Impish presence and the Succubuss' wave of power puts the tattooed woman and the lion pelt wearer on the backfoot. The biggest one however isn't so easily intimidated however, looking to answer surprise with violence! Thankfully you had already prepared a plan of action for this turnout, reaching into your pouch for your sweet new gun-

You don't even notice as your disguise burns away, much too focused on the holy fire that's engulfed your hand. It burns worse than anything you've felt before, like it wants to tear you straight from Hell and fling you into the depths of nothingness. The pain causes you to squeeze the trigger once before it falls out of your hand, striking the ground in front of the barbarian and flinging him back towards the others in a burst of light. Even Jubilee hisses at the impact, shielding herself with her wings. Once the glow settles, the Triumvirate slowly move to look up at the two of you, your hand still smoldering with embers of Heaven.

"Wh-What... What was that? Who the Hells are you?"

The lion pelt one says, having fallen onto his backside in the chaos. The barbarian groans behind the wreckage of meeting table, and the witch holds her head as she lays on her side.

As much as i would want jubilee to kiss our ouchie away perhaps doing that now would be a bit undermining of our authority..
Or not since we have a named demon fawning over us.

Establish the pecking order first of all.

You give your order, but the Triumvirate seems hesitant to listen to the demands of a little Imp. The smoke coming from your palm must have gave it away that you can't quite handle the gun, and the alarmed wretches downstairs must be giving them some confidence. On seeing their hesitation however, Jubilee sneers and spreads her wings out wide

"Are you deaf? I am Jubilee of the Second Circle, and Sinners like you will obey my every command. I command you to kneel."

Their faces pale as another wave of dominating might engulfs the club, compelling not only the three in front of you but also a number of the masses below to drop to their knees in fearful reverence. Even your own knees buckle at her words but Jubilee is quick to catch you by the arm, half playing it off as checking your injury.

>Demand a glove and some healing magics.
She glares at the trio of kneeling Sinners, icy daggers from her gaze that force them to avert their own.

"You will obey my Attendant like he was speaking with my own tongue. And his first demand is...?"

...A glove! You pace with authority in front of the three, eyeing up their handwear. The lion head wears no gloves at all and the giant's are far too big for you, which leaves you with just the witch's bewitching glove. Soothing to the touch, and it even fits you quite well! With your new protective wear you're able to handle the revolver with ease, though as to not push your luck, you decide to stow it until you need it again. Or until it'd be cool.

>The Triumvirate will be judged of their worth
When you mention judgement, the Triumvirate look up with some surprise. They must have been expecting a simple and swift execution. Sharing a look between each other, the lion one suddenly speaks up.

"I want to lead, sir. To build up the men and personally see that they bring glory to the banner they fight under. If you would allow me to be the general of this legion, I will give you a professional fighting force capable of not only battle, but other facets of warfare and tactics as well."

"You little bastard, I'm not letting you take this chance for war from me! I want to fight, to kill, to destroy my enemies! Choose me to be warlord of this band and I will give you a ravenous tide of steel and fury! All will fear you, and any who stand against will be made examples in red!"

"Boorish men. The Lady Succubus... and her Attendant, deserve more. I want power over the mystic, to use the magics of this place to their fullest potential. Appoint me as high priestess of this cabal and I will see to it that you have an unrivaled force of sorcerous warriors at your call."

Seems they took it as a chance to steal leadership from the other two. It's true they didn't work well with each other, so what to do with these uppity Sinners...

>Make your decree, Sir Attendant!

The lion soldier holds his head up high, silently flaunting his superiority over the other two with a smug, satisfied smile. If it weren't for Jubilee's aura of power, you could guess that the others would object, but for now all they can do is turn their eyes downwards and stew in their resentment.

"You have made a decision you will not regret, I vow it. With Leo Belisarius leading this force, the Lady Succubus... and her Attendant will know nothing but glory and dominion over their enemies."

"Craven bootlicker... Look at him, all it took was a demon waltzing in and calling him general to switch sides. Pathetic!"

"Don't forget how eager you were to do the same. I for one welcome our demonic overlords... and their hellish powers."

As the Triumvirate breaks down and the three start to bicker among each other again, this time with a pecking order firmly set in place, Jubilee claps her hands and rests her arms around your shoulders. She sighs happily against the back of your head, speaking in a low, purring whisper

"I have to say, Gloomy, I was expecting more bloodshed to come out of this. What a pleasant surprise... I'd say you've earned a reward when we get back to my lair. But just because you did a good job doesn't mean you get to start thinking too high above your station. You are still my servant, not the other way around."

The Succubus plants a kiss on one of your horns, sending a shiver of warm pleasure shooting down to your hooves and out to the tip of your tail. She turns you around with a finger on your chin and starts floating back out of the VIP room.

"That being said, think on what you'd like while we head back, hm? Our work here is done, time to move on while these ones get themselves organized for service~"

>Head back to Lust with Jubilee. You'd say you've earned a bit of rest with your performance, and you've already got some ideas in mind for your reward... [What reward?]

We had plans for Lust! This wasn't too exhausting do we probably should capitalize on that and go to that party Jubilee mentioned before it's too late.
Rewards will be even bigger if we finish two circles after all!

>Get started on work in another Circle.
As tasty as the promise of a reward sounds, you manage to suppress your craving for instant gratification. Putting in some more work could mean an even better reward after all. As a wise demon once said, "Defeating a sandwich only makes it tastier." Or something like that.

>Fraud
You shudder as the though crosses your mind. Who in the Hells wants to go to the Lower Circles? They're awful! Feral! Downright offputting even to the most devious of Upper Circle demons. Even if you did really want to, that'd mean getting past the City of Dis and that's literally impossible for most, including yourself. The Walls of Dis were built for a reason. Not to keep demons out of the Lower Circles, but to keep the Lower Circles in.

>Greed
>Gluttony
The Cousin Circles. You often get the two mixed up, but always remember the difference once you recall the reasons you usually avoid both of them. You owe some very dangerous people some Souls in Greed, and owe some very hungry people some bodies in Gluttony. As it just so happens both debts are a direct result of some botched Spirifage, or as the less desperate like to deride it, "soul thievery." Honestly, if Sinners and the odd Imp didn't want their essence wrenched out, maybe they should've held onto it a bit tighter.

>Lust
It always comes back to Lust, doesn't it. You're pretty sure you heard some fruity philosophizing Sinner talk about that once. After all's said and done, you did already have a job lined up in the Second Circle, and a pretty hot one from the sounds of it. You'll just have to hope the steam hasn't died down by the time you and Jubilee get there. If you know anything about Lust though, it's that the party doesn't stop till the after-after-afterparty, and then it goes a little more.

"Ready Gloomy?"

Jubilee grins and grabs you by the hand, a gout of blue flame swirling around the two of you as you're whisked away towards new excitement, new danger, and another step closer to rising up in the ranks of Hell...

Thanks for sticking around for this mystery sidequest! Post rate kind of petered off due to finishing up my finals, but they're thankfully done and passed now. I'll put a poll up a little later for what quest to do next, probably in the /qag/ or /qtg/ *spits* so keep an eye out.

In the meantime, here's the rest of Mystery Investigation Quest. This time with 90% less imps

Thats a lot of extra storage she has between those knockers of hers.
How common are possessions by demons? Is it something only named demons can do, or can no-name demons like gloomsday do it too? Can rituals and sacrifices in the mortal world affect demons in hell outside of summoning?
>>
>>5659090
Damn, if i knew it was gonna end i would have just asked to have a reward now.

Oh well, it's been fun.

>How common are possessions by demons?
Usually not all that common. Both the Named and Unnamed can possess mortals, they just need a way to get to the mortal world first. The most common reason for a possession is because some demon has beef with someone in the mortal world and wants to torment them. That being said, most stronger demons usually either have better things to do, or have cults and subordinates to do their dirty work for them. Speaking of cults...

>Can rituals and sacrifices in the mortal world affect demons in hell outside of summoning?
Of course! Sacrifices by mortals in the True Name of a demon grant great power, as their society at its core is based on worship, fear, and strength over others. There are also other rituals to beg boons from demons such as knowledge, slivers of power, minor minions, etc. Many are always willing to bargain. For a steep, often unseen cost of course.
