If anyone is missing an item, I may have what you are looking for. I can return it if you tell me the item.

[ Is she going to acknowledge that people's things may have been rearranged or anything like that? No, no she's not. Is she going to fully throw the imps under the bus? Yes, she definitely is. After a few seconds she decides to add some sort of explanation. Half-truths are better than nothing, right? Her tone sounds a bit bored and there's just the hint of an ever present Russian accent. ]

Some of my imps escaped and decided they would make me proud by showing creativity. I was not proud. [ Not unless she finds out that at least one person had their stuff rearranged in some sort of creative way! That was what she'd ordered them to do and instead they seem to have stolen things with no reports of anything else. ] Imps are....difficult creatures to deal with. They rarely know how to handle thinking for themselves due to their status in most hell dimensions. Really, you can't fault them too much for making an attempt, can you?

[ She can, because again, it wasn't their orders. It doesn't matter if they thought she'd be proud. She wasn't. ]

If do happen to see them, contact me and leave them be. They can't harm you too much. I would hope. It would be concerning to think that are people here weak enough to be injured by an imp.

[Imps… Well, that explained some things, he supposed. Llewellyn was rather torn between feeling grumpy about their thefts and relieved that this wasn’t like the time his hat had been taken. At least this time he might actually stand a chance at getting the missing item back.]

You have imps… Mm… I don’t suppose they’ve brought you a silver pocket watch and chain, have they?

[soulsword]

Of course. They're native to most hell dimensions. Unfortunately they are not always the best at thinking for themselves. [ They try, but alas. You can't expect much, can you? ]

They have. Does that belong to you?

[gadaboutdetective]

Clearly, but rather determined given that it sounds like they managed to snatch a few things from what I’ve heard around. [He would have to take her word for it though, it wasn’t like he could guess what to expect from Imps himself.]

As long as they didn’t steal anyone else’s pocket watch, I believe it probably is? The uh— chain probably looks like it was repaired near the end, close to the key fob if it’s mine.

[soulsword]

It was not what they were instructed to do. [ She never told them they could think for themselves! Silly imps. ] They decided to think for themselves though and thought I would be pleased with the gifts.

[ She pauses and the sound of shuffling can be heard. ] Then this is most likely yours.

[gadaboutdetective]

I suppose that’s… oddly sweet of them, though clearly they don’t know enough about gift giving. [Could Imps from hell dimensions be sweet?

Alright, he’s slightly less grumpy now. If only because it seemed that he’d be getting what he lost back this time around.]

Excellent! Then I look forward to retrieving it from you whenever is convenient, it’s been a bit of a nuisance to not have it. [Listen, even if the phone has a clock… He’s misplaced it three times in the last day and a half. The watch was necessary if he was ever going to hope to be on time.]

[soulsword]

Sweet..? I have never heard of someone calling imps sweet. You will give them ideas if they hear. { She laughs though. ] There are no gifts given in hell.

I can bring it to you quickly.

None of my shit is missing, but hey, I'll take imps over cosmic gods of the Nyarlathotep or Cthulhu variety.

[ The world Sara was in between her home world and this one sure was, ah, eventful. ]

If you need imp wrangling help, I have way too much experience in the matter.

[soulsword]

Oh, we dealt with those. No longer will those tentacle faced abominations bother me or my realm.

[ Small victories. Or large ones, at least from her selfish perspective. ]

What experience do you have with imps?

[canaria]

Would it be too on the nose to say they're the stuff of nightmares?

[ Ha. ]

As for the imps — aside from captaining a time travelling crew who many refer to as bothersome imps — the last city I was in was a ... demon-infested, basically. Sometimes shadow monsters and such, bigger things too, would come out to play and those of us who could would try to manage them.

[soulsword]

They make your nightmares seem like a children's movie.

[ Though she does sound amused. ]

Time traveling crew, hm? How interesting. What was this city you were in before?

[asthecroweflies]

Your imps.

[You know, he's still adjusting to this whole 'she actually rules a hell dimension' thing, but really.]

That explains the sulfur.

[soulsword]

They were not instructed to steal anything. Their instructions were to rearrange furniture in various houses. It was such a simple thing to do....[ she sounds almost...disappointed. And vaguely...sad...? ]

[asthecroweflies]

...why would you have them do either of those things? Are you really that bored?

[soulsword]

Horribly. Dreadfully. I may die of boredom you know. It's getting close. [ She sounds way too amused. ] It was only supposed to be your places too.

[asthecroweflies]

You summoned your imps to prank me specifically? [He breathed a sigh.] Just...why?

[harrythelizard]

Your imps? Why are summoning demons?

[soulsword]

Yes, my imps. They are subjects of my realm. Do you have a problem with imps?

[harrythelizard]

No. I have a problem with someone summoning demons into this city and letting them escape.

[He said in a surly fashion.]

Your "subjects"?

[soulsword]

What makes you think I summoned them? They are capable of coming over from Limbo on their own. It seems especially easy here. Perhaps there's a problem with the borders.

[harrythelizard]

That's really not comforting. Are you telling me the nature of this place makes it easier for demons to cross into our world?

[skyward_eyes]

[Oh yes he was missing something, something very meaningful to him.]

Did you get a jade bracelet, shot through with veins of gold?

[soulsword]

I believe that sounds somewhat familiar.

[skyward_eyes]

It is very important to me. A sign of a most precious bond.

[soulsword]

It seems they took a lot of things that were...sentimental in nature. How odd.

[skyward_eyes]

Yes, well I need it back. My fiance gave it tom
