Asmodeus: It's the Greed Ring. One of the cities is literally called "Ransom".
Fizzarolli: Ah! You worry too much. You know I ain't afraid of ropes. 'Sides, I'm slippery~.
Asmodeus: I mean, only after I...
Fizzarolli: (mouth full) What?
Asmodeus: What?
Fizzarolli: Come on, Oz! I can be on my own one day!
Asmodeus: But you haven't been to the Greed Ring alone since becoming Mam's big brand figure.
Fizzarolli: Yeah, I guess, but it's not like I'm gonna stick around!
Asmodeus: I can get you an escort.
Fizzarolli: Augh! I can handle it! C'mon, Big Daddy. PWEEEEASE?
Fizzarolli pulls puppy eyes on Asmodeus.
Asmodeus: Well, you know I can't say no to a face that cute.
Fizzarolli: Mhm! That's why I use it.
Asmodeus: Just try to stay out of trouble, Fizzy-frog.
Fizzarolli: Ahh, stop it!
Asmodeus: Noooo~!
Asmodeus picks Fizzarolli up in a tight squeeze, laughing. A small succubus walks into the room holding a stack of boxes.
Succubus Employee: Ozz, I have the new shipment of—
She stops as she sees the two. Asmodeus and Fizzarolli stare at the worker wide-eyed.
Fizzarolli: Ya mind? Trying to have an unemotional bang sesh here!
Asmodeus: Yeah! Cuz we're so NOT in love!
Fizzarolli: Yeah! Love. Is. STUPID!
The succubus sets the boxes down and walks out of the room, staring oddly at the two before closing the door.
Fizzarolli: Whew! That was close, huh?
Asmodeus: Just come right back when it's over, and keep your phone on ya, okay?
Fizzarolli: Got it riiight here! Be riiight back after! Don't worry, Ozz! I'll be super low-key. Nobody will notice me.
Asmodeus: And...maybe we should...
Frizzoroli: What?
Asmodeus: Finally tell people that were a couple? It's just I don't want to see you get hurt anymore. Your already in hot water with the royal family. It was bad enough that Lilith herself wanted you killed after insulting her husband, but now with the daughter and Lucifer wanting you gone....it's just... I don't wanna see you get hurt. Lucifer is a sweetheart, but he can be very scary and very mean when he wants to. I learned that the hard way.
Frizzoroli looked down in worry. He was about to say something till a thunderous crash reverberated through the room as a wrecking ball swung into the side of the building, shaking the walls and startling them both. As dust settled, the door burst open, and a crew of burly demolition workers barged in.
Crew member: Demolition day! Gotta clear this space for the newbies!
Asmodeus frowned deeply, his patience wearing thin. He turned to the worker with a mix of irritation and concern.
Asmodeus: Demolition day? What are you talking about? And who authorized this?
Worker: The higher-ups sent us. They said we need to make room for the new recruits. The new cenobites are moving in today!
As the realization hit him, Asmodeus facepalmed with frustration. He had completely forgotten that today was the day the new cenobites were scheduled to arrive. Turning to Fizzarolli, who looked equally puzzled, he began to explain the situation hurriedly.
