They did. They're another faction we're gonna have to keep an eye on. There's so many people and deities in the way... and we don't even know how many members are part of the Veiled Order, let alone who is in charge of it.
[ She sits back in her seat, frowning. ]
It's all so confusing. I'm not even sure who we should go after first -- my heart says take a shot at Mammon because he's big and bad and I'd like to gauge the Veiled Order's reaction to it. But I also know that's not the right call to make, either. I know that we're going to have to continue laying low and gathering information, that striking prematurely is the wrong thing to do... it's frustrating.
Yes. Begs another question. Why are we apart of it? What was so important about brainwashing so many people and keeping them locked up in a fantasy world? Why did the Veiled Order prefer that when previously they were hostile?
Partner and Kaiba don't talk much about what happened there, and I think I know someone who might tell me, but she's... A handful.
[That's one way to describe Monika. He sighs.]
Unfortunately, Lucifer or whoever created this place... [He gestures openly to the hotel.] ...did so with the intention to prevent mass organization amongst sinners. Only people who gain favor with Lucifer are able to have comforts they're normally denied, so they're naturally going to game the system and avoid others that don't. Present company not excluded.
[He's the present company, since he's sporting horns and a tail. Sorry, Ann... He knows how hard she tries not to sin. With him it's nigh constant because he's stubborn.]

Compliance? Debauchery? All of the above, I'd imagine. If people are good little soldiers who don't question anything, then that makes things easier for them. As for the Veiled Order... who knows.
Yeah, no one I know really talks about what happened there other than it was a giant clusterfuck. Literally. I sorta know what it feels like, to an extent, to live in a fantasy world against your own will, so... I'm just glad we managed to free everyone.
[ She wouldn't put it past anything or anyone to have it happen again, albeit maybe a different location, a different situation... ]
Yeah... I guess that's the point of Hell. To be fair, I'm still not entirely convinced this is even actual Hell... how can a place like this exist when other people have never heard of it? Unless it's just called something different in other worlds and realms...
