Shhhh, Shhhh!
It's, oh, so quiet. It's, oh, so still
You're all alone and so peaceful until...

It was all beginning to make him feel a little uncomfortable. Even more uncomfortable than the uncomfortableness one would experience trapped in Hell for an eternity. The eerie silence, amidst the screeches and screams of tortured souls, was uncommon and unsettling. The shiny leather of his shoes squeaked incessantly as he rocked from ball to heel, peering out over the edge of his domain. Behind him, soul squealed as the life was squeezed out from them, over and over again, by demonic serpents. What could he say? He was a sucker for the traditional and here it was done by the book...amidst a radiant forest that he called home in the domain of Sloth - Belphegorland as he often referred to it much to the disdain of his more serious siblings. Leviathan appreciated the giggle. Hell seemed much less hellish without the squabbling of his siblings. The presence, or lack there-of Leviathan and her qualms seemed to drain purpose from Belphegor and as neon green eyes surveyed the realms of his siblings, any form of life seemed to be draining from the lands. The stirring winds and smoldering fires of Lucifer and Satan began to die as each of the daimons disappeared. The feelings of weariness at the sudden lack of his siblings concerned him but much less than the feeling of mock hurt that manifested in an over-dramatic pout at not being invited to the party....

....You blow a fuse, Zing boom!
The devil cuts loose, Zing boom!
What's the use, Wow bam
Of falling in love...

And then it hit him. It was sudden and unexpected. Powerful and relentless in its pursuit of him. It gripped him like fire, a burning pain in his chest, squeezing and pulling at his very core. His face twisted in pain as he was ripped from his world, helpless to peer down upon hell vanishing as he slipped through the veil. The daimon landed with a thud on the floor of the small room. His hand drifted to his bu, rubbing his buttocks softly where is cushy fat softened the blow. "Fashionably late?" he muttered under his breath, trying to sooth what little pride he had left that his invitation to earth was not an after thought of summoning all his brothers and sisters. The room was dimly lit and uninhabited, his summoner no where to be seen. His gaze drifted to the floor, a set of seven symbols etched into the ground, five of which glowed fiercely, the symbols of Greed, Envy, Lust, Wrath and Gluttony. The symbol of Sloth began to glow softly, indicating his summoning and arrival. Only the eldest, Asmodeus, was yet to appear. His mind wandered, willing, to thoughts of Leviathan. So she was here too? Perfect. A mental checklist appeared in his mind. Find Levi, tell her how he felt about her, be horribly rejected and turn to whatever destruction the witch planned. Bam, sorted! "Should I leave a note?" he mused to himself, sprawling on a piece of parchment he could find to alert the witch of his plans. "Dear Witch, I'm here, thanks for the invite. Yours sincerely, Belphegor." the man blethered to himself as he wrote, leaving the note on the desk as he left.

It took him a moment to adjust to the new surroundings. The sun was bright and the air was calm, the sweet sound of bird chatter was a welcome change to sinful torturous screams. His wings fluttered gently free from his back. "Ugh, what am I meant to do with these|" he exasperated. The witch had been unclear in leaving any instructions for him but he felt he should make an effort to blend in. He slipped his jacket from his shoulders, followed by his shirt. The ebony feathers curled in, tight against his back. He winced in pain as the bones pushed into his skin, disappearing from view into his back. As much as he considered himself a looker, Belphegor pulled his clothes on, twitching his fingers and wiggling his legs, trying to get used to his human form. It had been an awfully long time since the daimon of Sloth had been summoned for commercial use. Times were a changing. Fingers folded in all sorts of rocking symbols and gangsta handshakes as he tried to keep up on all the hip lingo of this day and age. "What's up my home dawg?"

FREAD FROZEN TEMPORARILY UNTIL ERRORS CORRECTED.

Lilith HAS to be present for the summoning. He is the first thing each daimon sees, he gives the sins their human forms. This thread seems to imply that he was absent when Belphegor arrives, but summoning drains his energy, so there is no reason he would have left- especially since there is no other way Belphegor would get his human form.

Please contact me via PM and we'll go over things, and I'll unlock the thread when all the confusion is cleared up.

Thank you, and sorry about this. I'm not trying to be a bad admin ;_; I've been waiting for you to start the summoning thread for him and Lilith, but if you need me to do it, I will, or if you want to do a quick summoning before it turns into a Jack-Mammon thread, let me know and we'll do that first. Like I said, just contact me via pm and we'll get it straightened out.
