Screwtape: Well, welcome back...
*He struggles a little against her grasp and shoves her off of him with some effort. Bluey sits with her back against the wall* That was a silly little stunt you just pulled my dear.
Bluephisto: Was it now?
Screwtape: Yes.
*He rearranges his suit and stands over her, contemplating her utter indifference to him* Now what would be so wrong with me having a little fun with Bonaphisto? I thought you hated her.
Bluephisto: I do...I also hate you. So excuse me if I don't stand aside and let you satisfy yourself.
Screwtape:
*Taking a step towards her* Well, now I'm all dressed up with no where to go...
*He touches her hair, she doesn't even look up. This irritates him greatly and he walks away from her suddenly, sulking behind his desk* I trust your meeting with The Father went well?
Bluephisto: Well as could be expected...he didn't show up.
Screwtape:
*Laughing* I forget how new you are...you look so, sophisticated. He was there you silly girl, he was watching you. No one ever has ever seen The Father, he sees us. He has, however communicated to me that he is very pleased with you and wants me to commence your training quickly.
Bluephisto: Training?
Screwtape:
*He rises from the desk and slinks towards her* Though I must confess, you need almost no training to be a temptress...You are remarkably...effective
*He traces a finger from her chin down to the last visible piece of skin showing through her low cut dress*It's hard for a man to think clearly around you, I can hardly imagine what you will do to the mortals!
*He grips her face in his hands and leans in to kiss her, before he knows it he is on the ground again. Bluephisto cooly stands above him with one stiletto heel against his jugular*
Bluephisto: May I also remind you that I am also a remarkably effective assassin? Don't fucking push me, Screwtape.
*She turns and sits in a chair, lighting a cigarette. Screwtape rises and rubs his tender neck, smirking. He was teaching her to underestimate him, and she would be fun to break in. He rises to his feet...*
Screwtape: Let us begin our first lesson.
*In Larry's room, Macphisto watches Adam hold the injured Bona to his chest. He knew this was a bad idea. Bluey was still down there and Bona lay bleeding on the floor. Macphisto would have been concerned if he wasn't so damn tired. The Fly is staring at him, and motions for Macphisto to come out into the hallway. Knowing there is nothing more to do here but wait for Jesus, Macphisto follows The Fly into the room directly opposite. The Fly shuts the door and shifts his weight from foot to foot, anxiously*
The Fly: Where've you been Mac?
Macphisto:
*Weary* I've been in the basement Fly.
The Fly: Yeah...I've been up here.
Macphsito: Do you have a point?
The Fly: Well...how did Bona get to be a devil?
Macphsito:
*Sighs* I kissed her so she would become a devil.
The Fly: You kissed her!?
*Macphisto saw his worn, worried face reflected back to him twinned in The Fly's ridiculous glasses*
Macphisto: I had to, I didn't do it because I felt like kissing someone you dolt.
The Fly: And then she became a devil?
Macphisto:
*Collapses onto a couch, exasperated and exhausted* Yes, Fly...are you deaf!? I kissed her and she became a devil. Anything else?
The Fly: Does that work with anyone?
Macphisto: Yes. It works with anyone. Are we quite finished the theology semantics lesson now? Can I go?
*Macphisto stands up, The Fly stands in his way with an odd expression on his face* Fly...what are you doing?
The Fly: I'm going after her.
Macphisto: You're an idiot. You're a human. What's more if Bona couldn't come back with her...
The Fly: No...Bluey just refused to go with her, or talk to her.
Macphisto: What? Why?
The Fly: She hates her.
Macphisto: Well why in the world would Bluey suddenly start to hate..
The Fly: They showed her a tape of you and Bona in the basement having sex.
Macphisto:
*Horrified* WHAT!? But we didn't!!! I only kissed her to make her a-
The Fly: Okay, okay I believe you...long story short, I can come back with her. She doesn't hate me!
Macphisto:
*Still reeling from the implications of what they have done to Bluey to break her* Go away Fly...I want to be..by myself now.
*He pictures her having to watch that for hours. She must hate him now ...Macphisto wishes more than anything that he could just storm down there and take her out himself. It's torture to know what the woman he loves more than anything in heaven, hell or earth is being put through. As he feared, they are breaking her. *
The Fly: Mac, listen!!
Macphisto:
*Pushing The Fly out of the room , on the verge of tears* Just leave me alone, I want to be alone right now...
The Fly: You have to make me a devil too, so I can go and get her!
Macphisto:
*Still not listening, and pushing The Fly.* Get out...I've got to think, there has to be a way-
The Fly: Damn it Mac!
*The Fly braces himself, grimacing. He grabs an unsuspecting Macphisto by the collar and kisses him hard on the lips. Macphisto's eyebrows shoot up and he pushes The Fly off him.*
Macphisto: WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING!?
The Fly:
*Looking like he bit a lemon and wiping his mouth* Did it work?
Macphisto:
*Shocked and disgusted, wiping his mouth too* Did what work!?
The Fly:
*Feeling his head for horns* Am I a devil?
Macphisto: That's not the way it works you fucking moron!
The Fly:
*Stepping towards Macphisto* Well make it work then! Come on do the thing...
*He reaches for Macphisto's collar again* Kiss me Mac!
Macphisto:
*Backs up quickly* Are you out of your MIND!? Get away from me you sophomoric idiot!
The Fly: Don't you want her back?
Macphisto: Yes, more than anything but
you can't bring her back.
*He sighs and sinks into the couch once again* You have no idea what it's like down there, no idea. You would just be throwing your life away, it really wouldn't be worth the effort.
*Macphisto holds his head in his hands and The Fly looks down at him. The last thing in the world that Macphisto wants to do (besides kiss the Fly again) is to start crying in front of him, but a couple of tears escape. The Fly feels a little sorry for his rival and tries to rub his back like he's seen the angels do. Macphisto smacks his hand away*
The Fly: Sorry I kissed you there.
Macphisto: So am I.
*Macphisto pauses and almost laughs at the absurdity of the last couple of sentances, but the impulse is so diluted in worry that the corners of his mouth don't even turn up. He looks at the Fly* I remember when the biggest thing between Bluey and I was you.
The Fly: Yeah?
Macphisto: Yes. I really miss those days right now.
The Fly: What are they doing to her?
Macphisto:
*He pauses* Fly...have you ever had a dream so terrifying that when you woke up you were afraid to speak about it for fear that articulating it would somehow make it real?
The Fly: Yeah.
Macphisto: It's like that... I don't even want to talk about it and you really, really do not want to know. Suffice to say that I wish she had just been married to you instead.
The Fly:
*Turning a little pale* Shit.
*The two men sit for a few minutes side by side staring off into space. The Fly gets up and walks towards the door.*
The Fly: I'm gonna check on Bona now.
Macphisto: Bona...oh right. I can't believe I forgot.
The Fly:
*Before he closes the door he looks at the haggard yet elegant Macphisto on the couch and smirks* Hey Mac...
Macphisto: What Fly?
The Fly: You are, hands down, the worst date I've ever had.
*He shuts the door. As he looks down the hallway he notices a dark trail...it's Bona's blood. The Fly bends down and inspects it. The trail runs down the stair and around the corner. The Fly straightens his shades and follows the trail down all sorts of stairs until he gets to a room within a room, within a room. In the final room there is a door that is usually behind a mirror. The mirror was thrown aside when Bona rushed out of Hell. This was the portal to Hell.*
The Fly: Holy shit.
*The Fly slowly turns the knob and reels as oppressive heat and the smell of blood hit him. He steadies himself, sighs, unzips his black leather jacket and steps into the Inferno.*
