"Moxxie what you doing?"

"Just looking out Troll."

"I'll be going to back tomorrow and here you are avoiding me."

"I told you I would be up here. So, don't mix my words." Twitch at the snickering older imp. They don't move as he comes to join them on the roof top. A bottle with two glass shots. It doesn't stop him when he fills them both up and both drink it together. The pair looking out into the neighborhood and city.

Lucky enough no rats up here today. Yet, you can tell this was indeed a base they had been staying at. Along with the many chewed up bite marks on the billboard, trash and smell.

Medea enjoyed his time here in Pride. Well, enjoyed it with who they were around. Only so many places they could go or allowed in Which wasn't everything but still plenty. A lot has in many ways. Got to visit IMP with Moxxie. That was an interesting meetup that turned into a free Health Checkup. Medea wasn't phase in the slightest with the two hellhound reactions. Go to Ivy café plenty of times to drink coffee and chattered with her, along with a few others. Play another game of chess with this sinner, who name is Scarecrow, but Zestial again.

All and all it was a decent rest of a trip before Medea returns back tomorrow to Wrath.

As the two on the roof can't really see much ahead from the other buildings. But was enough space around to like a landscape of the many roofs around in IMP City and farther out to the other parts of the Pride ring. Rooftops, fires in certain areas, explosions that can still be heard, music far away with bright lights, and smoke at factories. The red skies of Pride a darker shade of red to tell it was night time.

Really the whole looks a sight of sore eye for Moxxie. Wouldn't change going anywhere when they came up over. Got to meet a few demons that slip well into their life. Probably one of the few things that made this ring bearable.

"Do you fear Wrath well ever be like this?" Moxxie motion the whole city. "Or like the other rings?

"A few times but we make sure it doesn't. Especially like this one, the Greed ring. Even Lust can be a bit much. Sloth well divided it so to speak so it's not too terrible. Same with Gluttony. Envy their underwater besides the few lands for above. We watch in other ways to make sure it nevers get bad. Plus, you have to think about the many damages our weather brings along." Medea giggles while Moxxie try not to let their own out.

"Hell, Tornado insurance."

"Ha!"

"Rat insurance."

"Oh, do stop many actually thinking about lately."

A small snort and look back. "Some of the cities back home were big. I went to one before. Same with Madre when she delivered a few things. They were big too but not a lot like this."

"Yes, while we do have a few big cities in certain areas it doesn't go overboard. It enough. It does not bunch up like this. Could fly overboard and can see the only open areas are the ones that drive the train to the canyon area outside the city boarders." Took a sip of their shot. "We may be stubborn but were not that dumb. We do make some changes and bring things over. Just enough. Don't need these power-hungry fools to grab lands they don't need."

"Yet, still many at home who leave call it a waste of dirt land." Hear a small sigh like they heard it plenty of times before.

"They just don't understand like others have in the past. But many still stay. Important part of Hell. Even if many won't say it. Wrath has a beauty many don't understand and appreciate. But we do." Look down at the far ground for a while.

Neither of the pair say anything in this silence for a while.

"I think this is the first time in a while you asked about such things. No, CHECK of sorts?"

"I'm trying to not do that anymore." Glance to see their eyebrow raised up in surprise. "Only for like emergency or if I'm in space"

"How normal." A grin on their face.

A small shrug. "Yeah well, I want to. I gone this far with hiding the marks. Isn't that what you three done to with this whole split or whatever."

"Normal would be one of the bottom reasons but sure let's go with that." Pour another shot, "Come now I bet you have questions. There no way you didn't have many others when you met others? Or were you just being polite."

"I'm still in the stuck phase of that whole surprising reveal. Even with both of our sides answer some questions." Along with other feelings they felt that day.

"It can be quite a lot. Not even the others know. We tend to keep it like that."

"Yeah them." Silent for a bit. "Say I do have a question. About you? Them? Or could be all of you."

"What about me." Brought the glass up to their lips.

"Do you only keep your eyes closed because you don't want others around to know? Be normal?" Don't look at them when they stop before taking a sip. Goes up to their own eyes to remove one the contacts to hide the white pupil. The other over time able to get the blue ring to leave unless using magic so it was a normal black pupil. Magic lower downs to see their tear marks

"That word normal again." Goes to take a sip of their drink. "In some way yes. Too not get attention. Unlike you I can't hide them with magic. Possible now maybe with special contacts I could but what's the point? I like this whole look I gave myself."

"You just like to scare others when you smile and eye closed like that."

"I mean slightly guilty yes but naw." A little giggling out their mouth.

"Knew it."

"What can I say? Besides enjoying the reaction of mistrust or thinking I look like any old fool. It tricks them." Snap their fingers, "Then can go down for acting like a fool and not seeing everyone as an enemy."

Nods a bit as they can understand that. Glance to see their eyes open slightly. Enough to see the shine of the molten lava orange. They go to admit while you think danger they were quite a sight to see. It struck them the first time when he got to see them.

"Plus, compared to us." Motion the two of them. "Mine are unnatural for imps. While yours can be work around. Still have the traits of imp with some genetics or injury that happen. I could say I'm hybrid and why my eyes are these colors. Which would be a load of bull in so many ways. So, keeping them close for the best unless the situation gets a bit complicated or a job to do."

"Guess that would bring in questions." Rub the back of their head. Can understand that completely to try and look as normal as they can get.

"So, many questions. Then if word get out to those annoying worshippers would be pestering us." Sees the blank look. "Right, them. Don't talk about them as much. They got their own area of Wrath and probably other spots in other rings. Possibly met one but not under the robe."

"Annoying cult worshippers? Like do they worship a statue?" Mind went back to the rat statue. Yeah, not guilty blowing that up.

"Probably do have one. At least one not up to date or could be ready to break apart. Lately the past few years just been worshipping a set of dumbbells."

Stare at them. Open their mouth and then close it. Reopen it back up against with just a simple question. "Why?"

"Apparently one of them broke into a private meeting Wrath was having. It was like a hundred or so years ago. Well, they threw a dumbbell at the cultist to get out. The cultist died but they apparently had back up and took it. Next thing we know many years later there a Satan Workshop App and the dumbbell got a following on sinstagram. It even in a museum these fellows made."

Stare at them. That's a bit weird along with freaky. Tempted to check that following just to see how many nutjobs there are actually following it. But had a feeling better to not go down that dark road. Pull out their phone, a bit of typing and pull out the app. "Right, you told me about this app."

"Yes, that the one."

"The design logo?"

"Besides being close to the look. They voted on it after doing a fan art logo contest in their group."

"I don't want to know how you found out that way."

"None of us wanted to know. A bunch of weirdos. One of the pros for at least two of us is we don't have to see it or get bothered by it. Unless 'Satan' aka Wrath wants to be that jerk and mail us their daily letter fan letter report."

"Krampus."

"I still love that and correct that one. They followed them unless they ordered them to go do something else. Anything really to just leave them alone. Spread their time-consuming worship elsewhere which well resulted in new members form other rings. Don't get them started on the sinner ones."

"Sounds like a major headache."

"It is. Savaged division gets annoyed with them if they try to get in their business. Both sides can clash and there were a few fights over the years. A rare few time will step in and get it settle. Along with long threats." AKA telling the cultist to get the fuck out and let them do their job. "I used to get on their cases in the past. Only reason they haven't 'sacrificed' me since I'm uh so loyal."

Scratch their head a bit and take another shot, "Why keep them around?"

"Besides being annoying cockroaches that would just multiple. Along with wasting our time. Or pull stunts like the App thing. They do benefit the Wrath ring in other ways. Do bring in some intel that can be benefits us." They took a shot of their own. "Just even talking about them makes me want to get wasted to forget."

"So, basically if they ever learn that 'Satan' can split into three. Would probably go on a fan club worship hunt for not just you but Cubone."

"Let's hope it never comes to that. 'Cubone' has little patience with them and likes to not be bothered with his own work. I would have enough problems if my patients and the town found out. Or if other patients of mine who I would visit come running over" Shook their head. "Don't get us started with other outside the rings."

"I rather not. That's like if others found out I'm well Flaw." That feels like it could be a headache. Same with the other hidden secrets. If they had a worshipping cult as Error. Really, they would feel disturbed and probably have destroyed them since that big no.

The two of them took a deep sigh and took another shot of whiskey together.

Done!

What do you all think of the pair talking and looking further into Medea closeness to the others? Plus, with Moxxie.

We got the eyes again! Just a short brief. Along with mentions of a few others.

Calling it now I bet Wrath has some weirdo cult members who worship them. Loyal but freaks to a different level of degree. Yes, indeed a pair of dumbbells that were even put in Satan Workout App. The design? It was decided from a fanart contest the cult members did too with what details they able to get, picture and reports as Wrath tend to hide themselves unless.

Any questions?

Until next time.

Bye, bye!
