<span style="font-weight: bold">Perdition Nightclub, around 8</span><br/><br/>He shifted, human eyes settling on the glowing gold eyes of the fiend across from him, idly flicking the cigarette into tray beside him, allowing the silence to stretch between the two of them. Until finally the mostly human appearing being across from him snorted and spoke, his voice carrying the underlying vibrations that the pit gave to it's creations, "so you're not coming back then?"<br/><br/>With a roll of his eyes and a puff of blue grey smoke he spoke, his voice completely human sounding, though extremely pleasent, "Shoggoth, go back to your master and tell the Lord of Pride that I'm perfectly content to mess around on the mortal plane for as long as I please. My realm is moving at just the right pace that it's supposed too and I still participate when needed for the council meetings. Last I checked he spent a few centuries screwing around with Rome before getting bored with it and bringing it down on it's head and fracturing the world economy as it was at the time."<br/><br/>Shoggoth frowned, a slight sneer on his face, he really was a prime example of haughtinees and arrogance, his master should be proud, "you're neglecting your duties Braioch."<br/><br/>The warmth that surrounded him by perception ebbed away, leaving the room feeling as if it were colder, his voice no longer smooth but icy sharp, "you forget your place Shoggoth. You've been licking your master's boot for far too long and given too much for you to forget that the term 'Lord' goes before it when you address me. Especially since you have not earned the right to call me otherwise and despite what your master may believe, I retain more than enough strength to blast you into Oblivion and think nothing of doing so." He snubbed out the cigarette and stood, his face no longer amused as he adjusted his suit, "you would do well to remember that. I didn't get to the top by being some little pissant manipulator, strength is necessary and I'll rain destruction on you and yours if you forget yourself or," he smirked, "if you continue to move to try to undo me and mine."<br/><br/>Shoggoth flinched in a most subtle manner but knew that he had given himself away with that slight gesture, "I'll not forget again Lord Braioch."<br/><br/>He adjusted his tie and motioned at Shoggoth, "good, then leave as you've ruined my good humor and I do so loathe when some idiot manages to do that. Don't come back near me until your master personally sends you and you are to retain<span style="text-decoration: underline">full</span>human shape and apperance when you come to me. I'm keeping my true nature a bit on the down low and I'd rather you didn't give it away by appearing in a cloak of hell fire and brimstone like some clumsy imp."<br/><br/>Shoggoth glowered, bowed and was gone.<br/><br/>Braioch sighed as another demon appeared, wiry and sharp in appearance, cunning gaze sweeping the room for a moment before addressing Braioch, "M'Lord, is everything going as you wanted?"<br/><br/>He smirked, "drop the uptight titles Enoch, we're in the human world, might as well get into the habit of proper deference. And yes, everything is going according to plan, whether they know it or not." He eyed the other man's disheveled dirty blond hair and piercing green eyes that bore bags under the eyes, "been busy while I was away Enoch?"<br/><br/>The other man jerked his head up in surprise, "some of the...duties you assigned me reached a peak while you were away dealing with matters. It's of little concern Cid, I dealt with it and merely need a shower and a good night's sleep sometime here soon."<br/><br/>Braioch smirked, "perhaps I could help you with that, you seem particularly inclined for I rather than the many people I have to offer."<br/><br/>Enoch's clever look deepened, "I like the wild side, what can I say?"<br/><br/>The Demon opened his mouth but stopped short as he looked to his left, seemingly at the wall, frowning slightly. It then turned to a smirk, "so it's begun here as well, very well." He reached across and playfully grabbed ahold of Enoch's jaw, "it will have to wait till later though my dear man, this night is about to get interesting yet, and so will the remaining time afterwards." He chuckled, pushing out of his office door with a smug expression as he moved down the hall to the club portion that was already pumping with music and the noises of people, "layers upon layers in the web, oh what fun this decision is turning out to be yet."
