Sent from heaven above, Zacchaeus Angel of Purity has been given the mission of discovering what the rumors within the depraved city of Los-Sodos amount too. Normally this would not be a mission for such a angel, however the more the rumors spread the more hunters gather to the city, and with them more demons and supposed angels come to do combat that may lead to all out war on the human planet.

This is no orangery incident with the demons that much is clear, so what sinister plot lay behind this depraved city? Will Zacchaeus be able to handle himself and hold back from punishing the sinful city, or for that matter the demonic being known as Miss Beatrix, who has come on the behalf of a employer to root out the cause of this sudden skirmish. Only time will tell.....

---

The city of Los-Sodos was abuzz with activity, many bars and streets were filled with demon hunters of all kinds, enjoying themselves and awaiting new reports on demons within the city, which happened often enough that a big group would leave and another would return like clockwork, battered after battle but with the claimed heads of their demonic enemies.

The word on the street was that the place to go to for the latest information seemed to be the Golden Playhouse, a lounge like bar in a basement like setup. Though not packed like the others, it was a comfy bar with nice atmosphere and was run by a guy named Arthur.

However, to someone like Zacchaeus, this man by the name of Arthur was in fact Uriel, a Angel known as the Guide to Heaven and named after one of the seven legendary seven originals. This was the Angel of Purity's contact here on earth.

The angel had just flown into the city, already heading towards this location dubbed the, 'Golden Playhouse'. He made his way down he streets dressed in earthly attire to keep him from being seen as an angel, not that it would matter in his town, but it was a requirement to all angels. Humans tended to freak out over the supernatural, though it was understandable it was also rather annoyin to try to calm them down.

Looking for a few minutes he had finally found his location, a rather clean and friendly place it appeared to be. And it should be, seeing as how an angel ran it. He made his way on inside to the bar, which looked rather cozy, nice and was clearly not one of those sin painted bars filled with lust gluttony and greed. Now then, to find Uriel.

Zacchaeus looked through the bar, searching for the owner of the place. Hopefully Uriel, or rather, Arthur as e was called here, would be able to shed some light on this mission. He was indeed known for his light. After a good bit of walking through the place he found the manager Arthur, an went to approach him, "Hey Arthur," Zacchaeus called out as he walked towards the man.

Arthur was cleaning a glass at the time, a humble job for someone who had a even more important one going on in the background, he almost seemed relaxed when doing it. After hearing the other angel speak he turned around and placed the glass down on the bar before fixxing his tie while he spoke. "Ah, Zacch, it is good to see you again, and doing well I might add." Grabbing one of the bottles from the fridge he poured a glass of what looked to be almost golden water into the glass in front of them. The house special of course, which tasted divine, though oddly a little different in flavor for all.

"You have come about the rumors I suspect? The humans seemed to have done the same thing." He spoke bluntly on the point of humans, though right now there were not any people near them to hear, other than one sleeping man which was the bouncer, also a angel, and a women in strange dress. "They have yet to figure out the demons patterns, but I do, if you need to know when the next attack is happening then you can be the first there. Or maybe some other information?"

"I was called down to ivestigate so yes," Zacchaues said, sitting down at a bar stool next to Arthur, "Sp please, tell me anything that you know. I think it would be best to find someplace to start off on my investigation. Now then, when did these rumors start?" Zacchaeus asked his fellow angel. He looked back to the three humanoids in the bar nearby them, seeing the man asleep, the angel and some woman in a dress. A bit odd, mainly the woman in the strange attire.

"The rumors started about a year ago believe it or not, but they spread like wild fire recently when demons started to show up in accordance with them, and so did the so called angels... The hunters followed soon after, but they seemed legit. The angels and demons, and yet neither side is claiming anything to do with this city, seem strange?" Arthur noticed that Zacch was looking at the others in the bar, causing him to sate his curiosity. "That women over there? A demon... She turned up here about two days ago, has not left since I said I would not give her what she wanted, just sits there, drinks and waits until nightfall."

"And what exactly has she been wanting to get her sinful hands on?" Zacchaeus asked. Zacchaeus had a bit of a distaste for demons, part of it was because of his duty and his reason for being created. Since the fall of humans he was made to fight and kill demons. So he had developed a more agreessive hatred towards demons than most of his kind.

"The very same information you just asked me for. She didn't attack and had been nice and quit while paying for her drinks... So I let her stay" Stroking his mustache Arthur smiled before going back to his elegant stance of a gentlemen. "She is also a lady after all, and to throw her out without good reason would have been sinful. Of course, she could also have her uses, if what she says is true, that she is here to investigate and not to join them."

"Still I don't buy it," Zacchaeus said, "Why would she want to investigate this? I mean every demon I have encountered would more than likely jump at th chance to bring sin into the world? And why would kicking her out be a sub she is a demon," Zacchaeus said as he examined her. She didn't really much like a fighter, the dress appeared as if it was not made combat, but her taste in attire was certainly... Interesting to say this least.

"Either way, she has not done anything to warrant me taking action." He smiled at this point, tapping his chin with his index finger as he thought. "You know, we may know where the demons appear within the city, as I have shown, but information on where the angels come from is unknown to me, and maybe she knows? After all why would she need our information if they knew it already" It was true the information on the conflict was limited, which was rare, more so for a angel like Uriel.

"Well I suppose that makes sense, but it just kind of seems weird hearing of a Demoness talk casually to an angel, " Zacchaeus, said as he leaned against the bar, "Well, I'll talk to her in a minute, if you are right she may know of the locations where angels are appearing," Zacchaeus said to Uriel, "Thanks Uri,-.. Arthur," Zacchaeus said as he looked at the menus to select a drink, "Well what's the special today?"

Arthur gave a light chuckle before pushing his glasses up. "Nothing is certain Zaach, remember such things." With a smile he started to clean up a little at the bar as he was asked about what the lounges special was that day. "Well for food we have Native soup, a blend of fine spices and vegetables grown right here in this very city. For the drink we have the house special Golden Dream, which is a fruit cocktail of golden color,, but today it is a nice and simple Creamy Delight. A combination of cream and top shelf whisky.All cooked by yours truly of course."

"Then I'll have the special today," he said with a warm smile as he leaned up straight, sitting a bit more properly. He turned his attention back on the Demoness. Maybe he should walk over and speak with her... He decided to go ahead and do that, getting up from his seat and walking over to the Victorian dressed demon with his hands in his pockets, "Excuse me miss...." The angle said in a bit of a grim tone.

The demoness was taking a long drink from a hip flask, only pulling it away from her lips with a happy sigh when Zacch spoke to her. "Ya know, it is always nice to have a good drink now and then." She spoke out of turn before looking up to the angel, screwing the cap back onto her hip flask and putting it away in her side pouch. "Well, ent ya just a sight for sore eyes. What do ya need deary?" He was strangely chipper for a demon, polite even...

"I was going to ask you the same thing, just not with the accent," he said as he sat next to her, "I'd like to ask you a few questions about what's been going on as of late. But first, who are you and what demon are you?" He asked her, his hands together and his arms leaning against his legs as he looked at her. He wasn't quite sure of what she was really doig here but from his experience he doubted it was for good.

Leaning back she adjusted her hat a little before speaking. "My, my you seem to assume a lot. Mostly about the fact I may even give you information without giving some in return heh." She was very calm despite where she was at the moment, either confidence or foolishness. "I will give you something though. I am Beatrix the Traveler, come to investigate what is happening here on behalf of my employer."

"Who is your employer? And why is a traveler wandering around a town where rumors of demons pouring in? Especially since she herself is a demon. And you also haven't spoke of what demon you are," he interrogated her. He was a bit unnecessarily stern, but it was his natural way towards demons so, getting on his good side might prove difficult.

"Now, if I told you that would invalidate the trust me and my employer have wouldn't it? As I said I am investigating what is happening in this city, and if I am dose it really matter what kind of demon I am? I will tell you I am a type of wraith though." A wraith was normally a demons soul, or a human soul that had been taken over by a demon." Despite him being so pushy, Alicia remained calm and cool about it

"...Wraith? You know that only makes me have the urge to shoot you now as we speak right?" He said a bit more grimly.. For all he could have known, demon could be in possession of a human body, "Listen, I'm investigating this occurs ce as well, and quite frankly you appear to be the only non hostile demon ican find at the moment. Ur-Arthur said you were asking for information,"

"Oooo, scary" She smiled away before listening to what he had to say about the whole thing that was going on within the city. "I see. Well yes I am looking for information, though Arthur refuses to hand over his in exchange... Such a bothersome fellow, makes good drinks though I have to give him that" Before he could ask what kind of exchange it was Alice took a sip from her drink before speaking. "Yeah, offered him what Info I had gathered for what he had. It is as if he didn't trust me. How strange~"

"Listen, you should be intimidated because I am the Angel fonPurity, I have fought your kind and won," he said about to loose his temper, but calmed himself. The last thing he wanted to do was cause any harm to the place, the civilians, and act like such a fool around Uriel, "Look, how about we offer a trade,"
