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.

They don't come up every day, which kinda sucks, and means we need to do some more regular work now and then. Demons aren't all that public, is why we have a password in place to let us know it's that kind of job.
no subject
You probably won't need a password here. When a monster or a noctaere rears its ugly head, you'll damn well know.
no subject
Noctaere are those nightmare monsters I've been hearing about, right?
no subject
Those are the ones. All shitty goop and nightmare energy. Real nasty customers, takes a combination of dreamotion and good old-fashioned violence to take them down.
no subject
Either in learning how it works or how I'm gonna be using it. You ever have those moments when you can only blame bad luck for things that happens? That's me sometimes.
no subject
You'll figure it out. Took me awhile, mostly cause I didn't feel like messing with it, but it can come in real handy in a pinch. Got told I was overthinking it a few times. Probably true, but I told them to fuck off, anyway.
