I like to think I've picked up a thing or two about this place. The obvious things anyways, but I would be honored to help any way that I can.

[ages_like_wine]

Oh, good.

First of all, what do you know of the person--er, demon that 'kidnapped' us?

[oathofhonor]

That's the big one, isn't it?

Apparently, he goes by the grandiose title of "Baal, Lord of Terror". Since we arrived here, I don't know of anyone who's actually met him. There's a Prinny named Scrooge McDood who speaks for him.

So far, I'm not 100% convinced Baal actually exists.

[ages_like_wine]

No one has seen him?

...This Scrooge McDood. What is he like?

[private_eye_gai]

Gai Kurasawa, private eye. I suppose I could answer a few of your questions.

[ages_like_wine]

Alright, Mister Kurasawa.

Do you know anything at all concerning this 'Overlord Baal' or anything relating to how or why we've been brought here?

*flips open notebook*

Unfortunately, no one seems to know much about him. It's generally accepted that he's the one who kidnapped and put us here, though his motive remains unknown. From what I understand, no one's even seen him, let alone spoken with him. It appears he remains our enigmatic captor.

[ages_like_wine]

Hmm, so no one really has seen him...

Any attempts to escape or return home? Any attempts to find Baal or force him out?

[holyhomunculus]

Do not worry Lillet. I would have tried the same, had I known about the...arrangements in this place.

I feel safer like that too, since this way, I can watch your back.
They are still demons...or so they seem to think. Thus I will treat them as such.

[ages_like_wine]

Mmm. I'll feel much safer with you watching for me. I almost forgot to actually worry about myself entirely.

I will do the same. Though they may be less dangerous, demons are demons and we should never trust them at their word.

Pointy hat, broom, I think I know what kinda lab you're lookin' for.

[ages_like_wine]

I ride on a dragon, not a broom, thank you.

You do?

[enemy_of_living]

You need a magic laboratory! And I'll let you use mine two days of the week if you agree to be my unpaid lab assistant three days of it!

You know, assuming you're competent.

[ages_like_wine]

Yeah, that's perfectly reasonable.

Thank you for your...generous offer, but I suspect I'll need more than two days a week to accomplish what I intend to. I wouldn't mind being an assistant to someone, but you could have suggested it in a much better manner.

Perhaps if you offered a partnership and allowed myself equal use of your lab...
