"We are so sorry to disappoint you, Miss Davis," Rattus said to her. "But this won't be over for at least a long time until we know the workings and indications of this so-called curse."<br/><br/>"Yeah," Neo remarked, returning from the kitchen with a bottle of water and a bottle of beer. He passed the water bottle to Yukina, before adding "Because if that damn message is any fucking indication, we're dealing with mo'fuckin' demons or shit here, ba'e."<br/><br/>"Um, demons?" Yukina's eyes widened while twisting open her bottle. "But onii-chan, we never faced demons before!" She then drank some of her bottle's contents to calm herself down.<br/><br/>"I know." Rattus replied. "Which is why we are involving ourselves in this case, schwesterchen. I fear that we might not have the capabilities to defeat these creatures, so we are taking measures to prevent anything from happening."<br/><br/>"And yeah, this shit ain't exactly alchemy here, ya' know?" Neo addressed everyone. "Get this, bitches: We're dealin' with Christfag demonology here." He then took a swig of beer and sat down beside Lexi.<br/><br/>"Gehenna." Rattus uttered, as if the word was notable to him.<br/><br/>"Yeah, Gehenna." Neo reiterated. "When those fuckin' olive niggers translated NT to Greek, they used Gehenna as a placeholder for Hell. So it's painfully obvious that it means Hell."<br/><br/>"How about the voodoo doll, Neo-san?" Yukina asked him.<br/><br/>"Voodoo dolls are usually used by those dipshits down in Louisiana, as in their folk magics there." Neo explained. "Whoever did this either doesn't have a fuckin' clue about real magecraft and only picked stupid shit up from TV stereotypes-"<br/><br/>"Or are using popular culture's association of voodoo dolls with Satanism for shock value." Rattus interjected.<br/><br/>"That." Neo acknowledged, while he slung his arm on Lexi's shoulders again. "But mah ba'e here said that maybe the damn doll is just there to tell us to shut up, since they pinned the mouth fuckin' shut. If this was real voodoo, they'll just target the fuckin' heart or stomach as some sort of good luck charm or somethin'." Neo explained some more. "So yeah, it's just a goddamn message. Back in the day with mah old Vegas outfit, we sent messages like this, ya' know?"<br/><br/>"Symbolic message, I presume?" Rattus asked.<br/><br/>"Exactly." Neo acknowledged. "But there's one more shit we have to beat down here."<br/><br/>"Is it the drawing on the page where the message appeared?" Yukina asked. "It looks like a sigil on it."<br/><br/>"It is a goddamn sigil. A demonic one." Neo drank some more beer. "It's from Ars Goetia. Sadly, this fucking page only has the center markings of the sigil, because the demon associated with it has his name written between the two circles that are supposed to be around this goddamned sigil. But we don't have it, for some fucking reason."<br/><br/>"If the message is written on that demon's sigil, does this mean that the demon himself is trying to tell us something?" Yukina asked.<br/><br/>"Maybe." Neo answered.<br/><br/>"But why is it written in English, then?" Yukina asked again.<br/><br/>"Well, I don't fucking know!" Neo drank some more beer. "I mean, why did it even reference Gehenna anyway? That doesn't make any fucking sense!"<br/><br/>"How are we going to know who the demon is?" Yukina was getting more curious by every answer Neo was giving.<br/><br/>"Bitch, you seriously expect me to memorize Ars Goetia? I'm a fuckin' alchemist, for fuck's sake." Neo retorted. "I mean, seriously, if I knew who the demon is, I'm gonna ask him myself."<br/><br/>Then, an awkward silence emanated from the trio of associates after Neo answered many of their questions. Rattus broke this by asking another question. "...Are you seriously implying that we should summon a demon, Mister Langraad?"<br/><br/>Neo simply shrugged without saying anything.
