Location: Throne Room Time: Early Evening
The day is starting to wind down, but in Hell that just means the night's just beginning! Nobles and their entourages are starting to make their way to the Gardens and city proper for debauchery, leaving behind the Queen and her less-social servants.
Or at least, those who have a reason to stay behind.
((Man, I've missed this place! Sars if the intro sucks, just make it up as you go along.))

Speaking of the Queen she's currently draped on her throne - boot toes tapping in time to the too loud music blaring out of her headphones. She seems generally oblivious to everything going on around her.
Sitting on the second step of the three step dais is what at first look appears to be a purple devil. The she shifts sliding a very human looking foot out from under her thin gown. It is oddly shaped, a round ball connecting her foot to her ankle and as she shifts further her calf to her knee. She glances up at the Queen but looks back at her hands quickly, lacing them together in her lap.

A dark shadow, vaguely shaped like a monstrous dog, bounds from the wings, making noise almost reminiscent of gurgling barks. Black skin seems to be stretched over the beast's body, each bone showing through. Grey markings only highlight the emaciated form. A long, rat-like tail wags merrily as it makes its bouncing way to the Queen.
It skids to a stop just before it reaches the dais, tail wagging and panting. Drool drips from it's mouth - a tentacle monstrosity vaguely shaped like a snout. A soft glow emanates from eyeless sockets in it's skull-like face, staring at the Queen like a dog hoping to be acknowledged by a beloved owner.
"Manners, Squidly," a baritone voice commands softly, full of amusement.

Ciel smiled as she turned the corner to the throne room. She had not been in this throne room for a good long while... and she wanted to make her entrance so that Ere would see how hard she had been working.
She smoothed her dark brocade gown and made sure her slippers were on correctly.
Walking to the door of the throne room, she was nervous. Why would she be nervous?

Ere stretches on her throne and looks down at Squidly. Her eyes light up and she swings her legs down from the arm of the throne.
"Squidsie!!!"
She bounces down off the throne to hug the abomination around the neck.
"How is my favorite little tentacle beastie, hmmm? Drive anyone mad today, cutie?"
The woman sitting on the dais regards Squidly curiously leaning forward slightly to regard him with her eyebrows raised.

The grotesque creature wiggles and whines as Ereshkigal hugs it, its tail whipping back and forth. The tentacles making up it's "mouth" move over the Queen's face, leaving behind thick drool in their wake. It shifts from paw to paw as though aching to jump up on the Queen, but knowing it's a forbidden act.
"We're happy to see you, Your Majesty," the baritone says, still sounding amused. "As always."
The owner of the voice is a tall man dressed entirely in black or charcoal. His hooded face is too shadowed to be seen, but his almond-shaped eyes glow a dim blue-green color. He nods his head toward the Queen.

Ciel was at the door of the throne room now. She knew that her new manners told her that she must wait to be announced, but there was no one there to announce her...
So she settled for knocking lightly and hoping that the Queen would allow her in.

The tall man suddenly cocks his head towards the door. His eyes slowly turn from blue-green to green-yellow and he makes his way towards the double doors.
Meanwhile, Squidly the monstrosity soaks in the attention given to him by the Queen, "licking" her with its tentacles and begging for ever more pets and love.
The tall, thin man opens the doors and looks to the Queen. "Your Majesty, I hate to interrupt Squidly's joygasm, but you have a very special visitor."

Ere's head jerks up and her eyes widen.
"Ciel!" Her ears droop and she ducks her head as she stands up. She scrubs her face with a suddenly much more voluminous fold of her skirt. She peeks at the devil cat from behind the black fabric, her red cheeks only barely visible.
"H-hello kitten."
The lilac beauty behind the queen beckons curiously to Squidly, her fingers curling into her hand.
"Softly now." She says in a husky whisper.

Ciel's smile is warmer now as she strides confidently into the room, curtsying to the one with the baritone voice before making her way to her Queen's throne. There she curtsied as low as he gown allowed. "My Queen Erishkegal... I humbly ask your forgiveness in my being so tardy. I trust that I am not horribly late..."
Her eyes went to the purple devil and chuckled, watching her play with Squidsy.

Squidly stretches it's neck out to obscene lengths as it sniffs at the lilac, Devil-looking woman's hand. Its eyes glow the same green-yellow as its tall, thin owner. The tip of its tail twitches in a wagging motion, almost as though its unsure of the woman's intentions.
With a sudden, excited (if gurgled) yap, the creature hops once and tackles the lilac woman, its tentacles moving across her face just as they had the Queen's. Its tail whips back and forth excitedly, and it whines happily, trying to get the woman to pet and adore it as well.
The tall, thin man looks from Queen to Devilcat-Succubus and back, stepping back to give them ample room to stare at one another.

The queen of hell takes a couple of steps forward with gown still over her nose and then throws herself at Ciel with her arms around the Succubae's neck. "You're not late," She mutters into the other woman's neck. "It would have been so much less embarrassing if you had been late." She looks up and smiles a little sheepishly.
"Squidly is Albtraum's pet. Papa made him you see, and he's quite cuddly."
"Down!" The woman says pushing Squidly off her lap. She maintains a grip on his shoulder while wiping her face off with her sleeve. She looks down at the abomination solemnly, speaking sternly in her very soft voice.
"If you don't jump on me I will pet you. If you jump on me I will get up and go away. Understood?"

The Devilcat slid her arms around the smaller woman and put her face into Ere's neck, inhaling deeply. "I have missed you so... but I do not think master Albtraum has come all of this way to watch us cry for each other..."

Squidly makes a wet, gurgling attempt to "boof" at the lilac lady, head cocked in confusion. It's tail wags almost sadly as it stares at her with a horrifying expression of puppy-like sorrow.
Albtraum silently closes the door and leans against the post, arms crossing over his chest. "Oh, don't mind me. In a few minutes, you won't even remember I'm here."
Despite the words, it's said cheerfully and without malice. More or less stating a fact.

Pink curls tumble forward as the woman hides her smile. She fondles Squidly's mangy pointed ears.
"Acceptable?"
Ere stands on her toes to look over Ciel's shoulder at Albtraum. "That would be true if it wasn't me. I'm not too likely to forget you're in the room. Though Lady Ciel would be one of the only ones who could entice me to forget. And actually, Ciel," She says tugging Ciel to the side to wave a hand towards Squidly and his new friend,
"Albtraum isn't here for you or I. He's here to see Hallow Sancti."
The woman looks up and looks at Ere and Ciel at little wide eyed. She lets go of Squidly to push her hair behind a pointed ear.

Ciel nodded. "Perhaps she and I should be acquainted then, before Master Albtraum takes her attentions away." She kisses Ere on the forehead and softly kneels next to Squidly and extends a hand to Sancti.
"Hello, beauty. Do you know who I am?"

Squidly's head twists and turns toward Ciel in such a way that any possibility of a spine underneath all that skin is a fond dream. It "boofs" at her, the tentacles reaching out curiously.
Albtraum looks almost surprised to hear the Queen call to him and makes his way up to the dais, where the lilac lady is sitting. He stops at the steps and cocks his head at Ciel and Sancti, his eyes an identical color of yellow-green as Squidly's.
"Fascinating... simply fascinating," he murmurs to himself.

Behind everyone Ere drops suddenly into the floor and the back onto her throne tucking her legs up under her. She leans her chin on her hand.
"Lady Ciel Trakand, Prerequisite Court Mage Albtraum. May I make known to you Hallow Sancti the last living resident of the city of Dis, long ago lost to the Abyss. She is a construct the like of which I have never seen."
Sancti takes Ciel's hand, sliding her palm along Ciel's, nails against the Succubae's wrist and her own ball-jointed wrist against Ciel's.
"No, Lady."

Ciel's smile curved ever more salaciously as she held Sancti's hand, caressing it slowly. "Then perhaps you should."
She chuckled and scratched behind what she assumed were Squidly's ears with her other hand.

Squidly all but lost bowel control when Ciel started scratching behind its floppy, overlong ears. His tail goes out of control and he starts hopping from one foot to the other, in a dance of supreme doggy happiness.
Albtraum leans closer to Sancti, his eyes a pleasantly whirling mix of intense blue and yellow. His gloved fingers move along up her sleeves and over her arm, feeling for the pliability of her skin. His other hand rests high on her thigh, gently squeezing and feeling for the same thing.
"Can you feel everything I'm doing to you?" he asks bluntly. "How sensitive is your, ah, skin? Do you feel pain? Pleasure?"
