[She's been here a lot longer then she thought she would. Clearly whatever is here is more powerful then the Lord of Hell. So since it appears she'll be here for a while longer, it probably wouldn't hurt to learn more about the sort of people she's trapped with. And of course, you'd want to know about the most important topics....]

If you could take revenge on the people who brought you here, would you?

Don't you think that's kind of harsh?

Text

[shallbeavenged]

Not to have faith in complete strangers?

Text

[foundafamily]

Not when you put it like that. But do you really think we're all idiots?

Text

[shallbeavenged]

No. I just know revenge is hard to resist. It has nothing to do with intelligence.

Text

[foundafamily]

But you can resist it just fine?

[He's skeptical, given his experiences with people.]

Text

[shallbeavenged]

I did not say that.

Text

[foundafamily]

But you said you wouldn't do anything to them. So can you resist it?

Text

[shallbeavenged]

Sometimes.

Text

[foundafamily]

And other times?

Text

[shallbeavenged]

I have sought revenge like anyone else would.

[Only hers involved more fire]

Text

[foundafamily]

What was different about then?

Text

[shallbeavenged]

It was before I made peace. I broke the rules, I risked everything for a revenge brought on centuries ago. I will not make such a mistake again and I will not fall prey to my own hatred again.

That is why I believe I will not take revenge when the time comes.

<"font face="Courier New">I guess that makes sense.

[A revelation of that sort deserves a more appreciative response, but he doesn't know what else to say. The honesty of it caught him off guard.]

What kind of rules do you break for something like that?

[He'd ask about the "centuries ago" part, but he assumes it was just a grudge passed down in her family.]

[Stating facts is easy, it's the emotions behind it all she holds close to her.]

Rules against getting involved and seeking personal revenge.

Sorry about that html!

[foundafamily]

We've got rules about that back home, but I don't think anybody'd mind if you took care of personal revenge that old.

[Then again, the Martillos are pretty lenient. He's sure there are some bosses who might kill you for that.]

What happens when you break the rules?

no problem!

[shallbeavenged]

I get sent to Hell.

Thanks!

[foundafamily]

[...Oh. He was thinking maybe she'd gotten fired or something, but not that kind of fired.]

No way. I thought that place didn't even exist.

[Before the Tranquility, he wouldn't have bothered to qualify his statement with "I think." Now he's not so certain.]

[shallbeavenged]

Hell is real.

[foundafamily]

A while ago I never would've believed you.

But if that's what's waiting for you, why be so eager to get back?

[shallbeavenged]

I am still the Hell Girl. My revenge was not completed and I was not sent to Hell.

I am not eager to be sent back, I just know I must.

[foundafamily]

Hell Girl?

[shallbeavenged]

My job

[foundafamily]

What the hell kind of job is that?

[Pun not unintended.]

[shallbeavenged]

If a person truly wishes revenge and contacts me. I will ferry their tormentor to Hell.

[foundafamily]

[Well, that is... weird as heck. Just when Firo thought things couldn't get more surprising.]

Hang on. What if the person who asked you is the asshole and their "tormentor" is just some innocent guy?
