Status: Public
Setting: Tadfield Manor Lobby



Generally demons don't do vacations. But Beelzebub was not On Vacation. Nope. No siree. The Prince of Hell did not DO vacations, it just wasn't demonic enough.

What he WAS here to do was to spy. And report back to hell. Possibly to keep an eye out for that flash bastard, Crawl-- something or other, he didn't know, he'd never really bothered with the names of demons lesser than himself.

What he DID know was that the place -- Tadfield Mansion, was it? -- was crawling with angels. And 'assorted supernatural manifestations'.

So, that morning, he did not walk into the Manor. Nor did he strut. Nor did he even saunter*. He simply manifested in the lobby in a enormous ball of fire.

Then he dinged the silver dingybell at the desk.

*Sauntering was Whats-his-name's specialty, he'd heard.

Luna stepped up to the desk and said, "Yes. I need one room for the time being."

She bit her lip and, leaning forward, whispered, "Uhm, is this a Wizard establishment? And do I need to pay first before getting my room? Because, you see, this is the first time I've gone anywhere without my dad."

Then in a normal voice, she said, "And they're Crumple-Horned Snorkacks. A bit like cows, really, with relation to the crumple-horned bit, only more twirly." She beamed up at the nice man at the desk.

"Oh -- a room. Of course," he said in relief. A room he could do -- oh. "Er, well, it's... not, strictly, but I'm under the impression that we do have a few wizards here. So..." The angel shrugged, then smiled. "And there's no need to pay, ma'am. Honestly."

He gestured briefly and held out a key similar to the one he had, er, given to Beelzebub. "Here you go."

"Crumple -- " He shook his head. "I'll take your word for it. Thank you, ma'am."

"Oh. Thanks." Luna took the key. She twiddled her fingers before leaning forward confidentially again.

"You don't really like each other, do you." It was a statement, not a question. There was a brief pause. "But you could probably tell me his name?" Luna asked, gesturing in the direction of the hallway leading to the rooms, or in other words, the direction in which the demon nice man-shaped being had stalked off in.

"You're wel --"

The Metatron flinched just slightly. "You... er, you could say that, yes," he admitted, studying the floor. "I -- I can tell you his name, though. Beelzebub." He followed the direction of her gesture with his gaze, almost unconsciously.

"Well, good luck then," Luna nodded, and Shrinking her luggage, she added, "Metatron."

Smiling to herself, she followed Beelzebub out of the room dreamily. Though the demon!man-shaped being was out of sight, she would probably run into him again, and she could ask him about the celestial alignment then. Till then, she had the intezztinezzz of a sturgeon in heat to find.
