Dear Urist (DOCTOR);

I wish to write to congratulate you on the fine work you have done for this colony thus far. 

I fondly recall the day you arrived as an immigrant.  For the first day, we had misunderstood the value you brought to our home, and had you labor away as a common hauler.  You did not complain.  You even shuffled along those barrels of scorpion vomit with a cheerful and carefree attitude.  I wish with every fiber of my being that your mood would rub off on the rest of us.  Especially the Mason.

You first came to our attention when you displayed impressive levels of initiative.  Faced with that mount of rotting corpses outside, you took it upon yourself to construct your very own slaughterhouse, and for a couple of years, kept our kitchens well stocked with delightful meat of questionable provenance.  The quality of life for all increased measurably within days.

You again came to our attention when you took the lessons you learned in flaying creatures alive and applied that to the medicinal arts.  When our first dragoon squad got lost and mistakenly laid siege to us, you were there before the rest of us, fishing children out of those bladed traps and pulling them off spikes.  I note that already several diplomats from the home territories have sent their own medics to learn from you.  I understand that to this day nobody else can graft the skin from a marmot onto a living dwarf and have it take.  We are proud of you!

But I do admit that I have one small, niggling concern.  While you ability to graft animal parts onto dwarves is nothing short of legendary, we would kindly ask you to limit or abandon your research.  I note that we've already had one military dwarf sever his own arm.  It is our understanding that you had promised to graft him a dragon's leg for a new arm.  I wish to point out that we currently have no dragon, much less one willing to part with a limb.  While we have no doubt that, could this be done successfully, that it SHOULD be done, but we ask you kindly that we wait until we have both a willing limb-culling dragon and an armless dwarf already present and available.  The militia rosters are thin enough as it is without a surfeit of self amputations.

Your cooperation anticipated,
Labor Manager

Please share the mod used to make this.

He wasn't in an apparent corner though.

"The Lord of Hell is about to shut down my chance to not get annihilated by other demons, and he seems to like the guy I kinda tore apart to use for the portal. This will not end well."

Well, Angel is a kindergartener so her loosing her bracelet isn't to unbelievable. And what kid who loves their parents wouldn't spend a large amount of time around them when they were in the hospital?

1. Even though she has never lost track of it, ever? And doesn't act nearly as scatterbrained as most kids? And wouldn't she have claimed it when it was found, then moved to the Lost and Found?
2. "Large Amount" =/= "Days, and also drops completely off the radar"

Because there really isn't a reason to assume they were kidnapped by demons?

Not demons in specific, but...no one finds it unusual that Angel was visiting her parents for days, and took of her bracelet and left it abandoned in the hospital long enough for it to end up in the lost and found? And people still didn't really care once you discovered Will was kidnapped? Etc, etc?
And it's not just apathy, it's lack of initiative and lack of common sense. "Nah, I'll just assume this backed-into-a-corner demon won't try to pull anything funny. No need to keep an eye on him. No matter how long it takes him to get Will."

At that point I'm pretty sure his plan had flopped and he was grasping a straws hoping the dramatic effect of such an action would lead to them overlooking tradition.

As demonstrated by his confidence that he had already succeeded. And how he was evidently confident to himself and non-Anna people.
If it was illegitimate, it would have caused more problems than it solved.

Oh, right.
Forgot that.

((Rolls for assorted thingies will be done once I know what Conny and Luna are doing.))

"...Take his bracelet, too."
"No, really?"

No one there can.

"You idiots. You really need to take off the bracelets, or else people can just teleport to them, or they cans end back information, or a bunch of other stuff."
"Which you needed reminding of despite wearing one for months."
"Shut your trap, freak."
Nuriel and the four-armed demon head forward to remove the bracelets from Conny and Luna. Last chance for shenanigans.
