Weyland's Visit

On the other side of the door... Hell.

No, no fire and brimstone. A large room, half living room, half office, tastefully decorated and furnished. Thick carpet, a big couch, several recliners, an old-style desk, bookshelves, filing cabinets... and a computer too. Classical music plays in the background and the delicate scent of incense hangs in the air.

The Devil steps aside to let Weyland in enter. No need to make promises of release for him, since he is out of her purview.

He follows her inside, glancing around warily. Not quite what he would have expected, but then his own apartment is not what most people expect... then again, his forge is his proper domain, and it is exactly what people would expect.

"This is where you live?" he asks.

"I would love one," he says with a smile. "Whatever you have. Do you usually keep it as an office, or do you... tailor it to the expectations of your guests?"

He moves to study the model.

"The circles of Dante," he asks, "each according to the sins? Do you decide who to put where, if, perhaps, a person has committed more than one in equal amounts?"

It isn't the world setup that he grew up with, but he has heard stories.

"Did you bring him in here?" he asks. "Or did he... find his own way in?"

He takes the glass he is offered, and settles onto the couch.

"At least in him you found a talented publicity agent?" he says. "In my experience that can make all the difference in how we are seen, having the right followers."

"Indirectly, though," he says. "Indirectly, he showed your power and your domain, and people fear you. People have made you and your domain a subject for art. You have followers, however ill-informed they may be."

"You never... use it to toy with them?" he asks. "I do. I have in the past, anyway; the cult I have now is not dedicated to me, and most of them do not know who I am. If you have people willing to follow you, you can get them to do almost anything. It can be entertaining."

"As you like," he says, and sips his drink. "I have no particular plans for the evening."

He follows her into the elevator, and watches the sights that go past with interest.

"Do you ever go for walks and talk to the people being punished?" he asks. "Ask them whether they regret it--can they reform, or are they here forever?"

"Do you ever change their punishments, just for fun?" he asks. "Offer them tasks to carry out in exchange for their freedom, but then deny it? Then again, I imagine that would only be fun a few times. It would get old quickly."

"We should trade games," he says, "see if that can alleviate the boredom at least a little. Maybe you haven't played all of mine, and I doubt I have played all of yours.'

He glances out through the doors, and finishes his drink. "I shall be careful," he says.

He is well accustomed to ice, being from the northlands, and having been to the realm of the frost giants. But it feels different here--the sort of nightmarish, he thinks, that would have fit in very well with his own people.

So he walks carefully along the ice, observing his surroundings.

He frowns, but takes a seat, obediently.

"This is where you are, always?" he asks quietly. "How did it happen? How can you change it?"
