Mission 1

Sender: Dante Sparda
To: Everyone
Subject: Introductions

Can't say I mind this new locale very much. Would mind it a lot less if I didn't get separated from my brother, but if this place really is some extra elaborate dream thing, then he'll be fine.

So while I wonder if my nephew smacked me hard enough to send me here, I should make myself known. The name's Dante, the founder of Devil May Cry. We're guns (and swords) for hire who specialize in the supernatural and lemme tell you, we've seen a lot of weird stuff. Ancient portals to Hell reopening, cults using demonic power to pose as gods, blood sucking demon trees, we've handled them all. I ain't suggesting this is all demonic powers at play here, but it wouldn't surprise me.

"But Dante, you handsome devil" you're probably saying, "there's probably a few demons here already that are pretty cool. You're gonna offend them with this." And maybe I would, if I left it there. I've taken enough cases to know that not only are there good demons just getting by, but also bad people - human, demon or otherwise - manipulating who and whatever they can to get their way. Those are the people we kill. Like a Lady friend of mine once said: even a devil may cry when they lose a loved one.

I was just about ready to go into sort of retirement, but given the circumstances, I got at least one more job to do. Wanna collaborate? Chances are it won't be my weirdest.

[The demon thing isn't the eyebrow-raising part, here.]

Hold on a moment. You're a contract killer but you actually vet your targets?
imp_resario: (it's actually really interesting)

You know what, I couldn't agree more.

Are you looking to expand? Hire on some more help? Both my wife and myself have over ten years of experience with demonic and non-demonic targets, including numerous high-profile figures, and are proficient in numerous armaments of military, traditional, and improvised nature, as well as maintaining a high level of operational security.

We've recently branched out into non-lethal capture-oriented tasks, too.

Can we not talk about the turkeys, please?
imp_resario: (there's an idea)

I'll have to ask her to make sure, but I think she'll be fond of the idea. And pay-by-contract is the industry standard for this sort of work, isn't it?

I'm curious as to what sort of techniques we're talking about, though, given we're both from the same place.
imp_resario: (very smooth indeed)

I can already sing, if that's what you mean.

Save it for our first day. You probably don't want to spill trade secrets where everyone can read them, right?
imp_resario: (um)

While we're on the subject, will we need to provide our own weapons?

I might need to make some arrangements if that's the case. Our old arsenal didn't come through behind us.
imp_resario: (SIR.)

[personal profile] imp_resario 2022-09-22 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Excuse me for saying so, but you can't even say what the "other" weapons are?

Don't you think you're hyping this up just a little bit?
imp_resario: (um)

Okay I think I saw the hat thing in a movie once but how do you use the motorcycle? Does it have a hidden flamethrower or something?
