    Fuck you, Belphegor! You're a fuck and you're covered in fuck! You leave a fuck-trail everywhere you go! The savvy investor buys into fuck and fuck-related industries any time you come to town! Some might say that the degree to which you are a fuck is intolerable and I would be inclined to agree with them! Oooh, the fucks on this guy!

    The House of Mammon has issued a decree honoring our most loyal and prestigious customers, The Greater Houses of Hell.
    It is our pleasure to continue to be the traditional supplier of "Soul De la Fuckboy", for the great Asmodeus - The illustrious House of Lust.
    The Emissary, Virgil, offers respect to a fellow house of desire- a house of ambition!
    Long Live Archdemon Dongs Galore, may we always do business...
    It is desire that bind us as worthy practitioners of our infernal responsibilities.
    No one understands that better than our precious customer, Leviathan - The glorious House of Envy.
    We are proud to have provided avenues in the procurement of what is known as the greatest collections in history under the Archdemon Auralynx.
    This Humble emissary Virgil, offers respect to a fellow house of desire- a house of ambition!
    Long Live the House of Envy, may we always do business...

    We of the Greater Houses hunger for more. More Power. More Respect. More Fear.
    Our Ambition goes beyond the petty squabbling for souls, as practiced by the lesser hellclans.
    No House displays more of this drive than Satan - the Fierce House of Wrath.
    No enemy survives their attention, just as no vulgar insult brought before them goes unheeded.
    The Murderbot's reign of violence is legendary throughout the planes.
    We are pleased with our meager part in providing arms to the Deadly Archdemon Rainfall's glorious legion!
    This poet king, Virgil, offers offers respect to a fellow house of desire- a house of ambition!
    Long Live Archdemon Rainfall, may we always do business...
    Last of the Great Houses of Hell, is the House of hunger and drive, Beelzebub - The House of Gluttony.
    Provider of the great cycle of profit, we cannot forget to pledge joy to this unstoppable House.
    As we collect souls from dealings throughout hell, it is in this incredible house that we trade for rarities.
    Archdemon Lucedes in turn, engorges souls from throughout the realm- delicacies that grow their girthy power.

    The Man Who Sought More Than his Lot In Limbo, Virgil, offers respect to a fellow house of desire- a house of ambition!
    Long Live Archdemon Lucedes, may we always do business...

    I will not speak of the LOITER-SACKS, or any of the lesser clans without AMBITION.
    They may rot in bed, the idling, lazy good-for-nothings, as we achieve glory in the Arena and beyond.
    We give our honors to our grandest customers, and certainly not the MUMBLECRUST toothless beggers,
    who hope infamy will fall at their feet.
    Without the Ambition of the Great Houses, demonkind is but a rebellion of indecisive, time-wasting ditherers.

    Long Live the Great Houses, may we always do business...

    An underworld without sodomy is an underworld of which I want no part.

    What is even the point of having a Hell at all if there's not gonna be some assplay involved? Damned amateurs!

    Gonna be traveling tomorrow in the afternoon - evening.
    Leaving work a few hours early to drive about 5 hours,
    out to IL to help a brother out with moving.
    He's going from a small apartment to a nice house. Gonna be there this weekend.
    Should be exciting!
    If you can't contact me, feel free to contact Discrider, Baidol, or INANTP.
    I'm gonna try and stay connected though.

    Can't stay up forever, hoarding all of Pride's mistakes in order to take cheap shots.
    Probably best to talk to Baidol if you want to trade.
    Night.

    dE8sZQV.png And now, time for the news! Looks like an exciting day in hell folks, we've got quite a bit of insults and demands coming from Lust Greed and Gluttony, but none of the blood the folks at home want to see. Additionally, it looks like some powerful legions were recruited. This reporter was able to get some interviews with Sloth, let's see what they are saying.

    dE8sZQV.png First up we have the Vizier of Sloth, can you tell us what inspired you to purchase the Trees of Woe?

    5ssIfTL.png I like Flowers!

    dE8sZQV.png I see. Any thoughts on your long term strategy?

    5ssIfTL.png You may say I'm a fool
    Feeling the way that I do
    I believe in friends and laughter
    And the wonders love can do
    I believe in songs and magic
    And that's why I believe in you

    dE8sZQV.png Aaah, okay, lets never interview her again!

    5ssIfTL.png Hey!

    dE8sZQV.png We go now to the Archdemon of Sloth himself! We thank you for your time your highness, how are you doing today?

    6XHL79V.png The Dude Abides.

    dE8sZQV.png How will you be responding to these threats?

    6XHL79V.png I do mind, the Dude minds. This will not stand, ya know, this aggression will not stand, man.

    dE8sZQV.png I see, well we won't bother you any further, let's go now to the Champion of Sloth. Sir, will Sloth respond to this hostility?

    gERKMfp.png What... a pain.

    dE8sZQV.png Can you expand on that for us?

    gERKMfp.png What... a pain.

    dE8sZQV.png Next we go to the Emissary of Sloth

    7iYmOjG.png DEAAAAAAAAAAAAAL

    dE8sZQV.png Ooh, looks like he's hard at work. Well that's all I've got, anything to add Pleinair?

    2gFIa0n.png...

    dE8sZQV.png What? Yes those were the Lords of Sloth! What do you mean that's not what they look like? As if this reporter would take the time and effort to interview impostors just to boost the ratings!

    2gFIa0n.png...

    dE8sZQV.png Don't look at me like that! Remember if you'd like to be interviewed for the news tomorrow, please send me your story today. Pleinair put the axe down! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

    to these insults...


    But we fail to see

    what makes those who have insulted us

    worthy of any energy whatsoever
