Sure, why should I judge you by what's out of your control?

Besides, I've had more humans screw me over than demons.

[productionhell]

... I'm sorry to hear that, Claude. Do you want to talk about it?

[ this pc is pre before she got told off for asking people if they want to talk about their feelings ]

[midway]

[ She's cute... He just quirks a smile. ]

Well, I mean. I've never met a demon, and I only know humans, so it couldn't be any other way.

[productionhell]

[ no u ]

Well, still! I'll always lend a ear if you need it.

[midway]

Thanks, Charlie.

[ He sounds genuine, not like he's just placating her. ]

You're really kind, you know.

[productionhell]

[ aww she looks a little embarrassed ]

Well... we're friends, Claude. It's normal for friends to help each other, right?

[midway]

Yeah, of course it is.

[ I forgot they're at the cafe. He'll take a bite of his pastry. ]

So... are there many like you? Who are born in hell?

[productionhell]

[ she will also nom her pastry ]

There are others like me, yes... but not a lot in my particular ring. I'm also the princess of Hell, and... well. The only one of that.

[ as you do ]

[midway]

[ Nodding... ]

I didn't know hell needed to be governed. What does that involve?

[productionhell]

Well, it's actually my dad in charge of Hell, and he's. Well.

... He's quite busy, I think. Sometimes he asks me to do things for him, like.... meeting with the head of the angel army, or... you know. That sort of thing.

[ aka lucifer doesn't do SHIT ]

[midway]

Angel army...?

[ ?? ]

Do you have joint deployments?

[productionhell]

No.

[ hugs herself, and she sounds a tad bitter when she speaks ]

The angel exorcists murder my people every year. Adam just wanted to meet to tell us was moving up the timeline.

[midway]

[ ...??? ]

What's the point in killing people who are already dead?

[productionhell]

There's an overpopulation problem in Hell. So... that's their answer. When they die again, they just... stop existing. It's over.

[midway]

Overpopulation?

[ ????? ]

Why is that a problem for them, and how is that even an issue? Isn't Hell... supposed to suck?

[productionhell]

They're afraid of Hell getting too powerful.

[ but also :/ ]

That doesn't mean sinners deserve to just be slaughtered. They're still human souls.

[midway]

I... see.

[ Blinking slowly. ]

Shouldn't angels be merciful?

[productionhell]

That's what I've been saying.

[ .... ]

[midway]

I thought being sanctimonious and using religion to enforce your will on others was a thing of the living, not something in the afterlife.

[ Shaking his head. ]

That doesn't seem right.

[productionhell]

Unfortunately, it's not limited to humans. Which is ironic, considering they judge humans for that sort of thing.

[ grrr argh grrrr ]

You're right, Claude. It isn't.

[midway]

... I don't really know what to make of it.

Seems like you have to change how everything works.

[productionhell]

Yeah.

.... I did try. It didn't turn out well.
