Harmonia, Arimidex, Knight, and Spider all appear outside of what appears to be the backdoor entrance of a nightclub. They're in an alleyway.

There's a buff bunny bouncer leaning against the wall with his arms crossed. He's asleep.

Harmonia just tries to enter open the door.

"Someone's good at their job.” Spider chuckles.

Knight, Ari, and Spider follow Harmonia’s lead.

The door opens and Harmonia walks in, Ari close behind and tapping its choker absentmindedly.

“Wooo! Night club!” Knight follows in after them.

It's a tight hallway. Dark, not really any lights. There are multiple doors. One of them is slightly open and there's a light on.

"Definitely not a trap." Ari sighs.

Harmonia goes into the open door.

"Yeah, definitely not.” Spider snarks.

“At least I can heal anyone who gets hurt,” Knight says.

Ari peeks in the door.

Pushing the door open immediately causes the hallway to fill with some smoke.

Harmonia walks into a rather cozy-looking lounge. Private club lounge. It's lit with purple lights.

Lilith is sitting on the couch across from the door, vaping. Her legs are crossed.

She's a white-furred bunny person. She's got upward pointing white horns that fade to pink, then into smoke at the tips. Her bunny ears are big and floppy. She's got a nose ring and a few ear piercings. Her claws aren't too sizeable, seeming filed down. Naturally pink. Her eyes are pink with purple slit pupils. They are constantly half-lidded with boredom.

She's wearing ripped blue jeans and a baggy as fuck tanktop. Not as... Ehh... Fancy as she was expecting, really? She appears to have some form of snake tattoo on her shoulder, tho. Like a mark on the fur. She stares at Harmonia, looking her up and down.

"Caught me on my break. I'm assuming you're here for that fuckinn... Thing. You redeemed with Goli. But... like. The hell you even want, though? Normally, the only people who wanna talk to me are.. you know. Total pathetic fuckin' simps."

"Reason I'm pointing that out is because you don't look like that. It's a compliment.” Lilith pauses. "Hi."

Ari looks Lilith over, "Hot."

“Yep.” Knight says.

Thanks. Hey. So uh... how are you?" Harmonia asks, her eyes flicking around the room for potential threats but when finding seemingly none, going back to Lilith.

Spider heads in, standing near the door to just watch Lilith.

"Oh wait- I should. Probably introduce myself shouldn't I-" Harmonia says.

"Harmonia Iris Reeds, Half-Demon of Gluttony, Goliath's favorite lil gladiator, favorite torture subject of every being on that god forsaken planet, so on so forth... No need for introductions."

She sounds unimpressed and vapes from her vape. "You're slightly famous, Babe. Just ever so slightly. On your way there."

“Probably going to get more famous with one of the other things we have to do.” Knight comments.

"Right- sorry- uh. Do you know my goon squad?" Harmonia asks, referring to the others.

"Charming.” Spider drawls.

"Shush it's funny-" Harmonia responds.

"Goon squad? At least paint me in a flattering light jeez-” Ari protests.

“Eh, could be worse.” Knight says.

"Oh, c’mon it was funny!" Harmonia says.

Lilith snickers, muttering "Goon squad? Fuckin hell. That's a name." She looks at all of them, going from Spider to Knight and ending on Ari before looking back to Harm. "L1MB0's punching bag, Lack of impulse control, and Asmodeus' little meow meow." That last thing is dripping with sarcasm and vague spite. She says it with a tired and smug grin.

Harmonia starts crying laughing at Ari being called Asmodeus’ little meow meow.

“Lack of impulse control? Really?” Knight asks.

"Excuse me? I've beaten L1m more times than they've beaten me.” Spider protests.

"Mmmmhmmmm." Lilith says.

Ari rolls her eyes. "Meow meow? Wow, I'd have preferred boy toy over that."

"Noted." Lilith responds.

“I don’t have a lack of impulse control.” Knight says.

Lilith stares at Knight and says nothing.

Harmonia pulls herself together and cracks her neck. "Anyways! Down to business. Beezlebub fucked up L1mb0 because of an assassination attempt and now we have to get shit from each layer to bring him back. One piece is part of your power, according to Enoch."

Lilith stares at Harmonia. "Goddamn, that was fuckin' loud. You need a chiropractor or somethin', Sis?"

"...Anyway. A piece of my power? Really? That's cheesy."

"It's what the list says.” Harmonia shrugs. "I'm willing to do whatever you want in return for it."

Knight just stares at Harmonia with a confused look on his face. “Why would you say that??”

"That's a bold take but I'm with her," Ari says.

"You lot are idiots.” Spider mutters.

"L1mb0s saved my ass more times than I can count. I wanna help.” Harmonia explains.

“Okay, I guess I’ll join you with that.” Knight says.

Lilith snorts. "Damn, y'all're fuckin... Like. Dumb, kinda. In a cute way, though." She takes a deep breath. “See, the thing is… A piece of my power is more like a piece of my soul. An' like… That shit'll regrow and all. But I also... Don't want to deal with that shit. Obviously."

"Yeah. Which is why I'm willing to make it worth your while. Besides, we kinda need L1mb0 for Hell to function. Soooo-” Harmonia says.

"Sure ya do. See, the thing is...I'm kinda alright with where I am? Oh, so enviable I know. A happy person. Stare in awe. But it makes making it quote-unquote worth my while reaaal fuckin difficult, y'know???" Lilith says.

“Is there anything you want?” Knight asks.

"Alright." Harmonia takes a moment, trying to think. "Cerberus says hi by the way.”

Lilith pauses. "Cerberus." She groans and looks up at the ceiling, blowing some smoke out of her mouth. "Goddamn smoking hot hunk, small bit of an obnoxious asshole. Has wrecked this club more times than you've got fingers and toes." She sighs and looks back at her. "Tell him I said hi back. He owes me millions in repairs."

"Well, that worked.” Spider sighs.

"What if I could get you those millions? Would that be worth it?" Harmonia asks.

“I could repair the club next time that happens for the low cost of free,” Knight says.

"It won't happen a next time. He's banned as hell. Next time he wants to get blackout drunk, he's gonna haveta talk to Lepus...But, sure. Get me millions and millions of dollars and I'll tear out a piece of my soul for you. Why not." Lilith responds.

"Pretty good deal if I do say so myself," Ari says.

"Kk one sec.” Harmonia takes out her phone to text Cole.

“Could you quantify that amount? I might have some of it in my bag.” Knight asks.

Spider rolls her eyes. "Really Harm? I'm right here."

"Oh yeah! Just snap it or something.” Harmonia says to Spider.

"How much do you need?" Spider asks.

"Yeah, so how many millions?” Harmonia asks Lilith.

"Like. A billion millions." Lilith says.

“So what, A Googleplex of dollars?” Knight asks.

"And you're screwing with us.” Spider sighs. "What do you want really?"

"I'm not screwing with you! That's how that fuckin works! He's destroyed my place like a hundred times!" Lilith protests.

"So would 100 billion be enough?” Harmonia asks.

"Give or take another few hundreds of billions," Lilith responds.

"This is ridiculous.." Spider mutters.

“So 200 billion and we’re good?” Knight asks.

"Just give her a trillion dollars.” Harmonia groans.

"I'm pretty sure a trillion dollars only exists in Mammon's gambling funds," Lilith says.

"Spider can literally snap it into existence,” Harmonia responds.

“Yeah.” Knight says. “Also The ‘Repair your nightclub for Free anytime’ thing is something I wouldn’t mind doing.”

"I'm pretty sure one trillion dollars would fill this room and kill us instantly, Harmonia." Lilith says.

"Uhhhhhh not if it's in billion dollar bills?" Harmonia responds.

“Idea: We duplicate my bag and put the money in the second one,” Knight says.

"That would work,” Harmonia responds.

“And before you ask Lilith, My Bag is basically a mini void that can hold a lot of things,” Knight explains.

"Fun."

"So what am I snapping, that bag then the cash?" Spider asks.

"Ya.” Harmonia says.

“Yep.” Knight says.

Spider clicks her fingers and a bag of holding appears, green distortion flickers over it as she snaps her fingers again. "There you go.”

"Money bag.” Harmonia says.

"Mm... Money. Thanks." Lilith says.

“No problem. So…. about that piece?” Knight asks.

Lilith sighs. "Mind if I send it to you in the mail? You have my word. If I don't do it, Satan'll beat me up."

“Sounds good to me,” Knight says.

"Yeah, sure,” Harmonia responds.

"I don't have a problem with that," Ari says.

The gang is sent back home, another fetch quest off their list!
