collecting the components was never the issue for mammon. he already had them all once. he can probably get them again easily enough. all that's probably keeping him from going through with it is not wanting to piss off lucifer.
oh i think you def matter. that guy is greed incarnate. he wants to fucking collect everything he can.
but i do have some info for you. not sure how fucking useful it is, but it turns out the casino is operating as basically a battery for lucifer. they take souls from people, transfer it into energy and lucifer eats that shit up. the notes don't say why he needs it. but my thought is this: if lucifer can change souls into energy, then he should be able to do it in reverse. it might not break the spell entirely, but it could at least give you back what you lost while we continue to work on a solution.
there is magic happening behind the scenes of the casino, too. the notes i got refer to an element by the name of "L." it could be lucifer or it could be lillith or someone else entirely. idk. but if we found "L" maybe they could undo the spell itself or at least have a better idea of where to start?
my friend sara suggested i reach out to lilith anyways -- seemed to think she was more likely to actually help than lucifer is. i can start there. i know she's familiar with the magic here, at least.
that would be a good idea. never interacted with the woman. spent two weeks on a fucking island with her when our powers went down. she seemed to give a shit about keeping us safe. hopefully that same giving a shit will extend to this.
would you want me to talk to lucifer, then? see what he can do? i pulled a favor from him once, but i didn't use ALL of my leverage. he'll listen to me, if nothing else.
[ It might help if HE had a good sense of humor... ]
lol i am def not the charming type. but i don't need to be. he'll hear me out. whether he helps or not will probably be up to how much of an asshole he's feeling like on that particular day
have you talked to the other brides yet? i told wuxian what's going on, but idk the other dude
mordecai. i met him once, and i cannot say we made great impressions of one another, but i told him anyways. he deserved to know even if i don't like him.
(and despite what some people might thing, yen does have a sense of morals...it's just very loose and bendable, that's all.)
[ Tech would be the last one to take her to moral judgement. And that becomes especially apparent when he sends the next message: ]
is there anything of use mordecai can bring to the table? wuxian has experience controlling the dead, but i'm not so sure that has a place in all of this. or if there is a place, i haven't figured out how to use it to your advantage yet.
[ Because it's really use whatever resources you can and if one doesn't like someone, then that just makes them all the more expendable. ]
not that i could tell. he didn't seem interested in getting involved. could be part of the spell -- it seems to have given him a loyalty to mammon it hasn't given me. i was hoping if he knew of his servitude his attitude might change.
(because honestly it's even easier to use someone when you don't like them.)
shit. you think he'll become a problem? is he gonna run back to mammon and tell him you know about the spell?
you got like....a curse you can put on him to keep his mouth shut? just in case
[ Look. Breaking the spell will benefit all parties involved, but if one of the members of that party is gonna be a hindrance, all's fair in spells and dark magic. ]
good. having that on reserve is fucking handy. less need to physically stitch his mouth shut.
wuxian's good, tho. he's understandably upset by it all and def resorting to escapism to cope by trying to fuck it away. but he doesn't have the same kinda loyalty to mammon, just an unfortunate attraction. 🤢🤢🤢
oh fuck that's right. no one's probably used emojis at you yet 😂
they're part of the modern way of communicating. sometimes people send strings of texts with just emojis. heads up that if anyone ever sends you 🍆 that means they either wanna fuck or they're about to send you a dick pic or they're jerking it on the side.
men are men no matter what medium they're communicating through
i'd ask what a dick pic is but it sounds pretty self explanatory. if anyone ever sends me one can you help me find them so i can rip said dick off of them?
hah they fucking do. and plenty of goddesses capitalize on that shit. if men are gonna think with their dicks, only fair some pay homage at the altars and serve as a sacrifice.
but i always say, if you got the means...weaponize it.

as much as i am loathe to admit it, he may be right. i don't want to give mammon the means to complete things. i hadn't considered that.

you have a point. i think he's biding his time, or maybe we don't matter that much to him in the larger scheme of things. i'm not sure which is worse.

i've helped her with a few spells, but nothing beyond that. still, sara spoke highly of her, and i know how to deal with other witches

that seems like a good plan. i've been told he has a good sense of humor, if that helps

i didn't get that sense. at best he seemed indifferent. but there are certainly spells i could employ if i needed to
