Putting in some more work could mean an even better reward after all. As a wise demon once said, <span class="mu-i">"Defeating a sandwich only makes it tastier."</span> Or something like that.
>FraudYou shudder as the though crosses your mind. Who in the Hells <span class="mu-i">wants</span> to go to the Lower Circles? They're awful! Feral! Downright offputting even to the most devious of Upper Circle demons. Even if you did really want to, that'd mean getting past the City of Dis and that's literally impossible for most, including yourself. The Walls of Dis were built for a reason. Not to keep demons out of the Lower Circles, but to keep the Lower Circles in.
>Greed>GluttonyThe Cousin Circles. You often get the two mixed up, but always remember the difference once you recall the reasons you usually avoid both of them. You owe some very dangerous people some Souls in Greed, and owe some very hungry people some bodies in Gluttony. As it just so happens both debts are a direct result of some botched Spirifage, or as the less desperate like to deride it, "soul thievery." Honestly, if Sinners and the odd Imp didn't want their essence wrenched out, maybe they should've held onto it a bit tighter.
>LustIt always comes back to Lust, doesn't it. You're pretty sure you heard some fruity philosophizing Sinner talk about that once. After all's said and done, you did already have a job lined up in the Second Circle, and a pretty hot one from the sounds of it. You'll just have to hope the steam hasn't died down by the time you and Jubilee get there. If you know anything about Lust though, it's that the party doesn't stop till the after-after-afterparty, and then it goes a little more.
"Ready Gloomy?"
Jubilee grins and grabs you by the hand, a gout of blue flame swirling around the two of you as you're whisked away towards new excitement, new danger, and another step closer to rising up in the ranks of Hell...
