If you were a pitiful humanoid, I’d be telling you to run as far as you can immediately. The Lowerarchy is up in arms because of your mistake. We fully expected to see your charge arrive here last week (human time, of course), but instead, we were met with nothing. How did you let this, this, this creature escape your clutches?
Do you realize what this means for me? I vouched for you, I said you were the best! Now I have been ordered to a tribunal led by none other than Our Father Below! A tribunal? Me?! If I’m lucky, I’ll escape with a reprimand, but Our Father has been touchy lately because The Enemy is gaining ground among the youth of the world and causing a lot of extra work and headaches for us.
Your pitiful plea for leniency reached me today, and I must say, the audacity of your request is almost amusing. Do you truly believe that your feeble excuses and remorse can mitigate the gravity of your failure? You, ‘dear’ Strumpet, have not only squandered a soul but have demonstrated a shocking lack of cunning and foresight. How could you miss the signs? I warned you, but you assured me you had everything in hand. Obviously, you didn’t; otherwise, I would be heartily congratulating you on a job well done, not preparing to defend you and ME before the Lowerarchy.
How dare you plead for understanding and compassion! The very idea is preposterous. Your excuse that there were unforeseeable circumstances and the mysterious intervention of the Enemy are just feeble attempts to deflect responsibility from your woefully inadequate shoulders. Do you think Our Father will be sympathetic to your pitiful explanations?
How did you miss the obvious signs that your mortal was leaning the other way? It’s baffling to me. After all the tutelage you have received from me, all the letters I have written, all the advice I have given, how can you fail so miserably? Do you know how this makes ME look?
The Lowerarchy wants to bring you here and put you in abeyance, a black hole of nothingness for eternity. I might be able to plead your case based on previous successes, but I am really sticking my neck out for you. All I know is I better not hear from you for a long while. Keep your head down, and do exactly as I say. Don’t try to be clever. No more, “Never mind, Auntie, I know my subject. I’ll make sure she arrives in the flames of hell.” Apparently, you didn’t know her! And now we face the wrath of Our Father.
If I am successful in pleading our case, I will get word to you. If not, you might need to find a herd of pigs to possess. It’s either that or eternal suspension for you.
May the misfortune of a thousand toppled empires be with you.
Malevolently,
Diabolica
