[SirAston]

"And yet you're rather vague and open-ended with the favor... I bet the purpose is flexibility so you can get something for ourselves no matter what happens in our journey to deal with the Demon Lord."
"You do not desire regicide, nor do you want divinity. You wish to experience mortals at the peak of their liberty, for you find no pleasure in forcing people to see your way, you want it to happen naturally. That much I know."
"And that's exactly why the nature of your request is so suspicious. You're not playing out your entire hand, which is something I expect from business deals, but you're..."
"... you're making it too obvious that you're not playing out your entire hand."

Yliss proceeds to fill up her glass again with the same alcohol-enriched beverage before drinking all of it in a short moment.

"Goooooooood... Am out... Dun care fer anything now... You decide, Team Serena."

And with that, she slowly slides from her seat towards the ground in one fluid, almost graceful motion, eyes staying closed.

[Powder Miner]

Asuna gave Yliss a lidded-eyed look for several long moments as she collapsed to the floor.
:"...ooookay."

She stared for another moment, then finally shrugged languidly.
:"Fuck it. Honestly, I'm fine with this, so long as that condition of not going against our moral codes is in fact included in the wording of the agreement we make. It's not like whatever he'd ask us would actually be that much worse than the situations we actually seem to get into, so frankly I don't really think it would even be that much of a break from what passes as the usual."

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Lucifer seems pleased. He extends his hand to shake.
"I swear on my pride as a demon that I will keep my word. Although, I recognise that that may not be worth anything to you, hm?"

[Praefectus Screptum]

"We are on a timer MPMH, so might as well accept this. And I somewhat doubt he will try to pull something funny on us later, as EVENTUALLY we MPMH be able to properly fight Demon Generals. After all, HMPM told one of them is actually dedicated on getting this plan forward."

[IamanElfCollaborator]

"Ah, Mammon. He and his wife....so stubborn, so, SO stubborn. I can't blame Belphegor for hating them so much, she's.....quite the opposite, in some respects."

[SeriousConcentrate]

"If this is what everyone else agrees on, then fine. But I still don't like it."

[Blade Master Model 42]

"Me gneither."

[kj1225]

"Not like we have much choice.... _{Besides, if we aren't hurting someone how bad could the favour be?}"

[Praefectus Screptum]

"I don't MPMH like this either, Keith. But it is the MPMH option."
"If the MPMH of the party are also willing to accept these terms, then I do believe we have a deal, MPHMPM."

[Empiricist]

For the first time in a long time Marcia's eye flicker up from her tablet.
"Good sir, I would be happy to accept so long as it is secured by our words and our words alone. You must understand, we adventurers are a prideful lot, and any less would be an insult to our pride."
"There of course would be deterrence still - you would be free to maintain the barrier til our services have been appropriately rendered, and we would be free to terminate our agreement should the favor prove too unsavory to our morals."
"But as you have so eloquently stated, that should not happen, thus these amended terms should be more than accomedating, no?"

[IamanElfCollaborator]

"Hm? By your words alone? That seems awfully like what you've just accused me of doing."

[Empiricist]

"Good sir, I am not my party."

[IamanElfCollaborator]

"But you speak for them, don't you? Seems rather unreasonable that you expect me to trust you at your word when you've doubted mine at every possible step, demon though I may be."
Serena makes some grumbing noises, while Milly awkwardly hums.

[SeriousConcentrate]

"You haven't given us a reason to not doubt you yet; 'because I say I'm trustworthy' ain't one. All you've done is leer creepily at the chicks - with my face, I might add. Milly doesn't even wanna be in the same room with you. Got an explanation for that?"

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Lucifer is about to speak before Milly cuts him off.
"I-It's not that. I....um...he's just...h-he..."
"Milly, you don't have to speak up. I can-"
"I-if it will get us out of here faster, I want to. He....uh....the reason we know each other is...h-he really helped me out in the p-past, before I got into debt with Anna. I-it's not that I don't want to be in the same room as him, b-but....i-it's awkward talking about it, h-he asked me NOT to because he didn't want to ruin his reputation."
