I have not heard from Wrath, which was not unexpected, so I counted her out, and Greed was not interested, so he is not involved in this equation either.

In your inbox there should be an e-ticket under your mortal alias and an address to a place in Chicago. I will see you there on Thursday. I don't have the patience to deal with any uninvited guests so leave your demonic tag-alongs at home, please.

Sloth - don't be late. The plane won't wait for you and neither will we.

[Private to Gluttony]
I would appreciate it if you can keep this to yourself. Wouldn't want anything untoward happening to Temperance now, would we? You know if the demons from hell get wind of this, they will do a lot more than just kill her.

	Understood. [Pride] I know not what it is you have in mind for the actual act itself, but if I might make a suggestion? Severing contracts and breaking bonds is what the God of Divorce does best. It was something we were discussing between us before you set a more open break in motion, and I doubt 5 would be any more difficult than one. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I am aware of this, but I am not keen on involving those outside our pantheon. There will be complications, and if things turn out unfavourably there will be more than just guilt, on your part. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Pride redhots 2009-08-05 06:17 am UTC (link)
	It was simply an offer that would be mutually beneficial all around. Either way, I believe we're looking at complications at some point or another. At least it's an alternative option to have just in case. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lust _superbia_ 2009-08-05 06:21 am UTC (link)
	If it is of any consolation, I was hoping to achieve this using the least complicated method. Sometimes I worry for you, Lust. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I will keep Divorce in mind - thank you for the suggestion. I have been saying the same thing for the past couple of millennia, and I know you don't want to hear it, but I will say it - again - anyway. It's not Pride-is-probably-asexual-and-spends-all-his-time-alone but Pride-knows-that-getting-involved-with-anyone-will-get-everyone-burned. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

While you might be a little of a tight-ass at times, asexual is not something I would attribute with anyone in this family.

If it is reference to Greed, you do not have to worry. He has made his thoughts perfectly clear. I will not be speaking to him on any of these matters, he had his chance and made his choice. If it is due to my connections outside of our pantheon, then I may only offer my apologies, but the connections you shun have served me well over the years.

	I have been called worse. I think it is amusing. Yes it is a reference to Greed - but you know what Greed is like. He will come around. Were there certain 'connections outside of our pantheon' I should be made aware of? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

You have, that I cannot deny.

He's a stubborn fool. I can only hope that Hell makes a desperate grab for what they still control and he feels every bit of their wrath.

None in particular. I mean, it's no secret that Divorce and I have had a standing working relationship for centuries, no different than Greed with the exception of you won't see me traipsing down the aisle any time before the apocalypse. Gambling and others as well. It is just easier and less headache inducing dealing with some of the newer Gods than those within our fold.

	I intend on securing a deal for all seven of us regardless. You have to be patient with older people - and it is much the same for us. Oh but you know I've always harboured a secret, dark desire of wanting to see you get married to some heathen. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Pride redhots 2009-08-05 07:52 am UTC (link)
	You should let the bastard suffer in his own idiocy. He deserves as much. I suppose I prefer that there is not so much black and white, but plenty of gray to color things. It gets old after so many years. Sweetheart, if fate curses me in such a way, you'll be my best man. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lust _superbia_ 2009-08-05 07:57 am UTC (link)
	I don't think I'm cruel enough to do something like that. You'll have to tell me in advance if you want a decent speech. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Pride redhots 2009-08-05 08:28 am UTC (link)
	So many would argue that, sadly. But of course! I would accept nothing less than the best~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Are you saying I'm cruel? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Pride redhots 2009-08-05 08:54 am UTC (link)
	I'm not, others would, and have. You're pragmatic and you don't mince words, but I don't believe I've ever seen you be outright cruel without just cause. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'll be there, don't worry. And I'll drag Sloth's ass out of bed, too, if I have to. It'd be my pleasure. ♥ [Pride] ..... What will happen to Temperance if we break away? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I will see you both there, then. [Private] Nothing - provided she does not know that we are doing this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I... don't understand. Are you telling me that they'll kill her if I tell her your plan beforehand? Or are you telling me that you will kill her? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Gluttony _superbia_ 2009-08-05 07:42 am UTC (link)
	Will the statement 'She will die.' change depending on who kills her? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Pride needsmoar 2009-08-05 07:49 am UTC (link)
	No. But I've had her taken away from me once, and it is not happening again. You don't understand. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Gluttony _superbia_ 2009-08-05 07:55 am UTC (link)
	I think you're the one who doesn't understand, Gluttony, even though it is very simple. Nothing will happen to her if you don't tell her anything. Something will only happen if you back out now, or if you tell her what we are going to do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And do we get any idea of your blazingly progressive plan now, Pride, or shall we be going the cryptic route until we're all arranged? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Not that you're likely to do so, but let me know if I can assist before we meet. I may despise you lot more often than not, but you are my siblings and we are far more than Hell's dogs to be called upon with a snap of the fingers. Much as you and Lust seem to enjoy canine companionship these days. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's the mental imagery which accompanies your so-called sense of humor that's the cause of hilarity and dry heaves alike. (Reply to this) (Parent)
