This marks the starts of the Seven's arc. Good luck... and don't tip the tombstone.

Zero slowly opens the creaky gate, peering through the bars. "What the hell..-"

*A shadow darts past a large grave near the back.*

They pick up a rock and throw it at the grave. "I SEE YOU SPOOKY BITCH."

*The grave wobbles.*

He walks up to the grave, poking at the dirt with his shoe.

*There are seven names carved into the grave, each carved in a different style.*

He squints at them, smearing the blood from his face. "Ugh.. What is that.."

*The seven names are as follows:*
-Gwendolyn Reed
-Wesley Rath
-Gina Lou-Tony
-Susanna Loth
-Erika N. Vy
-Preston Ride
-Laura Ust
*...odd.*

"We.. Wesley..?" He tilts his head, "That's my brother's name.."

*The grave wobbles again.*

He jumps, throwing a rock at it. "AGH- STOP IT."

*The grave falls over.*

*Seven orbs float from the grave. Five disappear, but two remain.*

???: "Hmm."

???: "Meh."

"What is th-" His eyes widen.

*The orbs form into Envy and Sloth.*

Envy: "..."

*Sloth yawns.*

{Oh wait no this reminded me of Obey Me--}
He glances at them, "You two ghosts or something? Maybe just people trying to scare me-- WELL YOUR JOKES DON'T FOOL ME MISS SPOOKY BITCH."

Envy: "We're not ghosts. We're Sins."

Sloth: "Be quieter, I'm tired..."

"Sins..? Why are you here?"

Envy: "Because you just freed us."

"I just threw a rock at a grave.."

Envy: "You knocked it over and broke the lock."

"Tch.. I don't want anything to do with you two.."

Envy: "Because we used to be humans."

*Sloth smiles sleepily.*

"Mm.. Both I suppose. But why aren't you humans anymore?" He places his hand on top of Sloth's head.

Envy: "Because we got forcibly turned into demons by the Lord of Sin."

Sloth: "Mmmmm..."

"Are there more of you?" He pats Sloth's head.

Envy: "There are five others, but they're busy. They have a job to do."

Sloth: "I'm tired... I wanna sleep..."

Envy: "Sloth, you always want to sleep."

He nods, "Cool, cool."

Sloth: "Do you have a place I can sleep..?"

Envy: "Tch. Generic human."

"Thing is, I'm not a human."

Envy: "Close enough."

"I-" He places a hand on his chest, "Why, I'm quite offended."

Envy: "Do I care?"

"Oh come on be nice." He scoffs.

Envy: "Being nice isn't my job."

*Sloth stares.*

Sloth: "...hmm."

"Anyways, what's your name?"

Envy: "My real name or my current name?"

Sloth: "...Sloth."

"Why do you have two names?" He looks over at Sloth, smiles, and looks back to Envy.

Gale: Hm..let's see what's the cause of this shit.

(the image is of Gale btw

Lust: "Wow, you're only 19 and the 500-year-old 20-year-old is down bad for you. Impressive."

Andrew: My wife is a dragon. I've spoken enough about impressive.

Lust: "...dragons are real?"

Andrew: Yup. My wife is a human who can become a literal dragon.

Lust: "...wow."

*Jealousy flips the ring to Gale like it's a coin.*

*Gale catches it, and observes it* huh. An odd one.
Andrew: Aw, how cute.

Jealousy: "They say it has powers but nobody really knows how to use it..."

Gale: Hm...maybe there is some hint Asmodeus left for it..or maybe one of the sins know it..
Andrew: maybe one of my helpers or I cam find something..

Jealousy: "Allegedly there's a sin known as Forbidden Knowledge but she hasn't been seen for a very long time."

*Andrew and Gale look at one another* For sure they'll know.

Jealousy: "...I hear she likes apples."

(And yes, that's a reference to the Garden of Eden.)

Gale: Perhaps a Forest...?

Jealousy: "...if only we knew someone with an extensive knowledge of mystical food."

Gale: hm...

Gluttony: "If you want to see Eden about awakening what little power the ring still has, you best hurry. Her grove won't be open for much longer. It's at the bottom."

Gale: Its better you lead us there.

*Gluttony shrugs. He gets up and dives off the edge, down into the fiery abyss below.*

*Andrew and Gale both float down with him*

*After a while, you reach a floating rock with an apple tree on it. A demon sleeps under the tree.*

*Andrew looks around, and stares at the demon* Probably them.
Gale: Likely.

*The demon wakes up slightly.*

Gluttony: "Hey, Eden, these two want to talk to you."

Eden: "...hmph."

*Andrew looks at Eden* I uh, defeated and got rid of King Asmodeus.
Gale: We needed to know some things concerning the ring. *he shows them the ring*

Eden: "...the ring, in its current state, will only allow you to sense the sins people are guilty of. To activate it, you have to put it on your dominant hand's middle finger and twist it counterclockwise three times, then clockwise once."

Andrew: *turns to Gale* So, who gets to use that?
Gale: Well, you have far too much power father. But...there is a chance I might not do well. Risk is worth taking, so I'll do so. *he takes the ring, and slips it on his hands middle finger* Let's see. *he twists it a few times, following their instruction*

Envy: "If humans are not your concern, why follow their ideals of right and wrong, of good and evil?"

Gale: Well, other humans aren't my concern. Aside from most of my family after all.

Envy: "...whatever."

*Sloth snores.*

*Gale slashes his knife through Envy, leaving a small scratch on them* Hm. If I were to get rid of you, I'd either....Remove the world from Envy...or, the humans feeling of envy would immortalize you..

Envy: "I represent more than the envy of just humans."

Gale: *thinking to himself* Right, so either way I'm still correct..just on a scale covering more than just humanity.

Envy: "Envy cannot be destroyed. People will always want what they cannot have. And thus envy will remain existent forever."

Gale: *writes down in his notebook* Hm..right right, envy is of course the large ego one with an immortality of the group... *he slaps sloth* WAKE UP!

*Sloth does not wake up.*

Envy: "You want the one with the ego? Talk to Pride. His ego literally makes him invulnerable."

Gale: Well...there's no such thing as utterly invulnerable. He probably just says that...everything is vulnerable..

immortality complex*)

*Jealousy, who's within earshot, stares at Gale silently.*

*Andrew flicks Gales ear* She heard that you f**king tsundere. Nice going
Gale: Wait wh- *he puts his head down* whoops...

*Jealousy sighs and walks off.*

*Gale walks off after her* Wait I was just
Andrew: *facepalm*

Jealousy: "You were just what? You were just talking about me behind my back? You were just pretending to be nice to me? You were just being an asshole?"

Gale: No...I was only trying to cover up my feelings with a lie..Just like how my father used to...
*Andrew rolls his eyes* That's a unique approach. *he thinks to himself*

Jealousy: "And how am I supposed to believe that?"

Gale: You really expect me to be...lying to you after you just gave me this ring? Gluttony just said its a sign of affection, and well..I just hid that I was grateful for it.
Andrew: *casually whistling a tune to himself*

Jealousy: ". . ."

*Jealousy hugs Gale.*

Gluttony: "Hey, Andrew, mind if I do something that will probably really piss you off?"

Andrew: It is, quite difficult to anger me. But...please, do so if a death wish is what you are in need of.

*Some being with four arms who looks VERY angry is beating up a couple of homeless people. All signs point to this guy being Wrath.*

*Gale just sighs, and approaches wrath* Alright, found another. You, get your f**king sorry ass over here now, I'm going to fix my mistake.

Wrath: "...no."

*Wrath throws the homeless people at Gale.*

*Another clone of Gale taps Wraths shoulder, as a chain wraps around him too.* Done and Done.
Gale: Oh well, too late. *he grabs the homeless people, and gently sets them on the ground.*

*Wrath snarls. He seems to get bigger.*

*Gale and his clone just shrug, both of them being used to this.* Ight, moving on.. *He starts to walk away, dragging Greed along with The clone.*

*Five down, two to go...*

*Gale and his clone both continue walking, in search of the tailor store..*

*After MUCH walking, tailor store.*

*A man that can only be described as a grown-up rich white boy is inside, getting fitted for a suit.*

Gale: *looks around, then walks in* Yup, definitely him. *he claps his hands, as a mirror appears and he grabs it* This thing might be useful.

*Upon stepping into the mausoleum, the floor suddenly gives out and Andrew falls into what is quite likely hell, the Sins close behind him.*

*Andrew lands on the ground, as he adjusts his hoodie* Probably not good idea to bring a hoodie here, oh well.

*...all of the Sins save for Wrath revert to floating orbs. Wrath lands next to Andrew, glances at him, then mutters something and looks away.*

*Andrew just blinks at Wrath* Hm? Might need to speak up there a bit.

Wrath: "...nevermind."

Andrew: Nope, I got time. Hurry up, say it.

Wrath: "...don't make me say it, if I mutter something it means I don't want people to hear it..."

Andrew: I'm used to it, go on now.

Wrath: "I... erm... I said that perhaps it's best if you took off the hoodie. It'd probably help with the heat, and no offense, but I think you'd look better without it. I'll hold it for you."

Andrew: *laughs* You're joking right? Fire is, well...my entire thing. Plus, this hoodie is special.

Wrath: "...alright then."

Andrew: Mhm, anyway. Moving on.

*Wrath nods.*

Wrath: "...he should be just at the bottom of that large ominous staircase in front of us that people are prone to tripping and falling down."

Andrew: *facepalms* Clumsy people I can tell. *he starts walking down the stairs*

*Wrath follows and proceeds to trip and fall down the stairs.*

*He phases through Andrew, as he keeps strolling casually* You alright?

Wrath: "N-no."
*Wrath rolls off the stairs and crashes into a rock, but at least he stopped falling.*

Andrew: Haha- I thought so.

Wrath: "Hmph."

*Wrath slowly gets up.*

Andrew: Half expecting to slam into a rock, but probably not-

*A shadow dashes past a large grave near the back.*

*Gale faces the grave, and looks in the direction the shadow went. He had his knife drawn* Huh..where did it go.

*The shadow seems to be gone... but the grave catches your eye.*

*There are seven names carved into it, each carved in a different style.*

*Gale approaches the grave silently, tossing his knife as a threat to anyone who might be in the area.* Odd. This isn't like most of the others..

*The seven names are as follows:*
-Gwendolyn Reed
-Wesley Rath
-Gina Lou-Tony
-Susanna Loth
-Erika N. Vy
-Preston Ride
-Laura Ust
*...odd.*

*Gale reads the names, and turns away. He seemed confused, then he turns back* That's weird, and most definitely not normal..

*The tombstone wobbles. It seems loose.*

*Gale just blankly looks at the tombstone.* Oh, must be some supernatural force..or someone invisible..

???: "...just knock over the tombstone, doofus."

Gale: No, I can already sense the omen that something not too good will happen if I do so.

Lust: "...you're welcome?"

Gale:*nod* So, what's with the mob?

Lust: "My powers seem to have gotten a bit out of control."

Gale: hm, Id bet someone with a natural charm could keep them away. I think I know just the person too.

Envy: "...so now that all seven of us are here, what are you gonna do? Lock us up again? Or are we going to revolt against the boss?"

Gale: hold that thought for a second. *he says, as he taps his hoodie. The mob proceeds to start going away, seemingly following someone else.* now, who is this "boss"?

Wrath: "...the Lord of Sin."

Gale: oh. Hm...i m probably not gonna be able to deal with him even of you all choose to help.
???: Alright son, I'm finished with the crowd now glad that stupid charm is useful for something.

Wrath: "Lord Asmodeus is a pushover once the seven of us steal his power."

Gale: Father, might I request you to help again? They'll probably need it.
Andrew: Sure, i can help.

Gluttony: "Hell yeah, I got all of that!"

Andrew: Nice. I hope they don't end up making out-

Gluttony: "...don't worry, I think Envy is dragging her away from him-"

Envy: "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING, YOUNG LADY?!?!?"

Andrew: Hm, it's all coming together now.
Gale: oh come on-

Envy: "And you! Gale! Why were you kissing my sister?"

Jealousy: "Envy, you don't need to be so overprotective!!!"

Gale: She allowed it-
Andrew: Indeed, she allowed it.

Envy: "I didn't allow it, and as her legal guardian I have the right to stop her from kissing people if I didn't allow her to kiss them."

Andrew: I bet she's jealous her sister's getting some and not her.
Gale: Oop-

Jealousy: "The word is envious, not jealous, but yeah."

Envy: "S-SHUT UP!"

Andrew: hahahaha-
Gale: Isn't that funny and surprising.

Pride: "...hush."

*Pride glares at Gale. His eyes seem more demonic than before.*

Gale: Oh? Now you're trying to step up hm? You have no power to decide what the hell I do. *he says, as the suit starts to burn as well.*

Pride: "If you think destroying my outfit will stop me you are gravely mistaken."

Gale: My my, such a sour attitude for someone like you. *the suit continues burning*

Pride: "You cannot stop me, child."

*Pride snarls.*

Gale: Oh puh-lease. I've dealt with people far worse, and far more prideful and better looking than you. You're just an ant compared to me really, I guess Envy was right about you being the ego of thr group.

Pride: "Ah, so you listen to the runt. Pathetic."

Gale: Hey, you were the one locked in with them. You're pathetic as well as me.

Pride: "I went into the vault of my own accord."

Gale: Ah, I see. You must really get pleasure out of lying to yourself. *he shudders* Can't even start to imagine what doing those things for you is like-

*Wrath nods.*

*Andrew taps the mausoleum* I'm sure this'll be simple for me.
Gale: I still find it tough to believe you're only 19 dad.

*Wrath stares at Andrew for a moment.*

Andrew: what?

Wrath: "Nothing, nothing..."

Andrew: Is it THAT hard to believe I'm not even 20 yet?
Gale: Alright dad, that's enough- don't scare them-

Envy: "We've seen weirder."

Wrath: "I've been 21 for what, 500 years now?"

Andrew: I've got the souls of multiple trillion year old gods...Yet I'm still as youthful looking and sounding as ever. Anyway, do i just like- step in?-

Wrath: "Yep."

*Andrew steps forward, entering* Riiight...

*Pride turns.*

Pride: "...can I help you, little one?"

Gale: Yup. Bring your ass over here, im taking you with me. Since you like yourself so much, here. *He holds the mirror up in his face*

Pride: "...Is that supposed to do something? Also, no, I don't think I'll being going with you."

Gale: If you feel like it, I can let you talk about how grand you are. Or, whatever chooses to please you. *he says, as the same chain from before gets bound to Pride.*

Pride: "Foolish boy."

*The chain seems to be incapable of touching Pride due to the mystical powers of his ego.*

Pride: "I am superior, you see? And thus you cannot touch me."

*The moment he said that, he felt...an odd presence. A presence that...seemed to make him feel, afraid?*
Gale: *taps his hoodie, as the chains manage to attach themselves to his outfit* Riiiiight. Superiority complexes can be ones biggest downfall..id expect someone like you to understand that.

Pride: "Try all you want to get into my head, boy. It will not work."

Gale: Oh, who said i was trying to get into your head? Heh. *he claps his hands, and walks off.*
*As he walks off, pride gets a strong urge to want to follow him, and before he realizes it is following Gale.*

*Pride stops moving almost instantly.*

Pride: "I am above your petty tricks."

*Pride adjusts his suit and walks off.*

(To deal with Pride, petty insults and outfit ruining may be the way to go.)

(Thx
Gale: Pfft. You really think you're making your sorry excuse of a prideful man feel better be reciting the same bullshit over and over again? *He says, as Prides tie bursts into flame and crumbles to ash.* Hell, that outfit is absolutely morbid to look at..I've seen infants who look more decent..

By*

Envy: "Nope. So long as his ego stands, he's immune to damage."

*Gale had already disappeared, he was walking around a different part of the graveyard* Hm..where could the friendliest of those spirits be..

*You get the feeling that the rest of the five spirits are somewhere else in town... probably all in places that fit their personalities.*

Gale: Hm...*he sighs* Where would the happiest one be..*he thinks to himself, and exists the graveyard. He started to walk around blankly*

*Let's see... the five Sins that are out and about are Greed, Wrath, Pride, Lust, and Gluttony.*

Gale: Okay...I'm sure this "Gluttony" guy is probably somewhere that has relations to erm...something like food- *he shrugs* "Wrath" is probably the worst one.

*...Based upon your knowledge of important places in town, you can make these assumptions:
-Greed is probably at the bank
-Gluttony is probably at that fancy new all-you-can-eat buffet
-Wrath is probably beating someone up
-Pride is in some place with a lot of mirrors
-Lust is probably at... well, y'know.*

(Yeah Lust has me confused- but it's probably not gonna be an 11 year olds type of place-
Gale: *looking around the city, approaching the nearby bank* Maybe greed is here...hm..if he's up to some shit, I could probably get rid of his spiritual form...but not him as a whole.

*Someone dashes out of the bank holding large amounts of money. She shouts apologies as she runs off. You assume this is Greed.*

*Gale groans and dashes towards Greed, concealing his knife* Why am I not surprised they've gotta be a girl...at least I'm not in an area where I'd find lust- *he catches up to greed and turns to her* Woah- uhhhhh- why the hell are you doing this?-

*Lust disappears, and Envy appears next to Gale.*

Envy: "Hey, kid, I have someone that wants to meet you."

*Andrew and Gale both turn*
Gale: who might that be?
Andrew: If its someone who might be dangerous, I'll stay here with youm

.*

Envy: "It's nobody dangerous, it's just my little sister, Jealousy. She's around your age, I think you two could become friends."

*Jealousy peeks out from behind a wall and stares at Gale.*

Andrew: Dear me, my son isn't one for friends. He and I...share a somewhat lone wolf way as a child.
*Gale nods* I only bought my dad here.for help...since he's a natural charmer..

Envy: "Oh... alright then."

*Jealousy sighs and disappears.*

Envy: "...guess I have to go find someone else to be her first friend..."

*They both look at each other, and groan*
Gale: I guess one chance wouldn't be the end of the world.
Andrew: mhm.

*Jealousy reappears. She slowly approaches Gale.*

Jealousy: "H-hi."

Gale: Hello.

Andrew: *just sitting on the throne for no reason.* I wish I could've met a friend that way..

Jealousy: "I'm Jealousy. Nice to meet you."

*Gale just holds put his hand* I'm Gale.
Andrew: *just whistling to himself*

Jealousy: "Okay!"

*A room appears out of thin air.*

Andrew: how the-

*Jealousy giggles and drags Gale into the room.*

Gluttony: "I-"

*Andrew just blinks* HEY! Don't consider crossing the line with my child.

Jealousy: "I won't!"

Andrew: Better not.

Jealousy: "I said I wouldn't."

Andrew: Then don't-
Gale: Uhhhh-

Jealousy: "I'm just doing what you said. You said get a room, I got a room."

Andrew: Guess she didn't understand what I actually meant-

Jealousy: "Did you have to bring that up?!?!?"

*Jealousy is blushing super hard.*

*Andrew and Gale were just awkwardly staring at each other.*
Andrew: ...what? Hey, im trying to keep you away from Amber.
Gale: . . . .

Jealousy: "...who's Amber?"

Andrew: 25 year old scientist lady who REALLY likes Gale, and wants to use him as a test subject-
Gale: oh god...

Envy: "...want me to sic Wrath on her?"

*Andrew shakes his head* Shes one of my fellow subjects, and a very good one.
Gale: I just keep my distance.

Envy: "Okay then."

Jealousy: "...can we get out of here? I'm sick of the heat."

Andrew: Oops, that would be my doing-
Gale: Eeeyup.

Envy: "Well, I'll see you guys later..."

*Envy disappears. Jealousy heads towards the stairs.*

*Andrew and Gale follow Jealousy*
Gale: ...now what?
Andrew: Dunno.

*Gluttony can be seen nearby, eating grapes like an annoying rich person.*

*Gale approaches them, as Andrew follows* Excuse me, Gluttony.

Gluttony: "Yes, sires? And in case you're wondering, I'm male today."

*Gale nods* We needed some help, something inquiring this "forbidden knowledge" person.

Gluttony: "Oh, Eden. Yeah, I know where she is."

Gale: Oh, thank god. That'll be helpful for this ring business.
Andrew: Your welcome- also, I can already imagine that ring isn't even important, and she just gave it to you as a symbol of her l-

Gluttony: "Hey, wait, is that the Ring of Discord?"

*Gale nods* I believe.

Gluttony: "Damn. It's lost most of its power now that all of us Sins are free, but it's still got some sentimental value."

*Gale shrugs* Eh, at least it'll look nice with me.

*One of the cemetery's mausoleums has an eerie fiery glow coming from inside.*

Envy: "...looks like the boss is nearby."

*Andrew and Gale approach it*
Gale: think you can do it dad?
Andrew: surely I can.

*The Sins line up near the mausoleum.*

*Andrew and Gale both watch*

Wrath: "...sir, you need to go first. We have to follow."

Andrew: who me?
Gale: huh?

Wrath: "Whichever one of you is going in."

Andrew: *cracks his knuckles* My turn buddy, good work. *he steps towards it*
Gale: good luck dad, as well as you others.

Wrath: "Suggestion for you. When you're fighting him, go for the armpits."

Andrew: Already got it planned. Thanks anyway.

Jealousy: "...do you have somewhere we can go?"

*They both shrug* no idea.

Jealousy: "...okay then..."

Gale: Soooo, no crown-?
Andrew: *shakes his head* Unfortunately. Eh, I have my own already but would've been nice to collection.

Jealousy: "Asmodeus was never one for crowns."

Andrew: M a n .
Gale: Man.

Jealousy: "He did have a ring, though. I swiped it."

*Jealousy pulls out a ring.*

Andrew: oh, that's nice.
Gale: damn, fast-

Jealousy: "You want it?"

Andrew: *shrug*
Gale: *nod* Unless you want it.

*Envy storms off.*

Jealousy: "...that was... interesting..."

Andrew: Mhm.
Gale: Jeez-

Jealousy: "Heheheh..."

Gale: I enjoyed that...
Andrew: .-."

Jealousy: "Kiss me again, nya...~"

Gluttony: "...Jesus, she sounds like she's been hanging around Lust recently..."

Andrew: She is, 11- correct? Gale is 11-
Gale: ....god-

Gluttony: "I think she's almost 12."

*Andrew shudders* Please keep her away from Lust, I don't wanna see her when she's an adult like that-
Gale: How about you do it instead hm?

Gluttony: "Yeah, you do it, I have food to eat."

*Gale chuckles* go ahead. I'm fine with it. *he looks at jealousy, smiling warmly*
Andrew: Get A room to f**ks sake...

???: "Do you want to improve humanity?"

Gale: As a demon, I really have no will in doing so- but eh. *he shrugs*

???: "Oh, a fellow demon?"

Gale:*nod*

???: "...please release us."

Gale: What do I get out of it? How does it effect me, if it does at all.

???: "...I could be your friend..?"

Gale: Got enough family to keep me going.

???: "...I don't exactly have much to offer."

Gale: I can see that. I'm sure its not just you, maybe they could bring up a better deal.

Envy: "...we're not bad guys, y'know."

Gale: I'd say similar about myself, but I'm an assassin so-

Envy: "Assassins can be good people."

Gale: Im just a kid, my father says I'm too young to place my morals in a good or bad spot

Envy: "Tch. Such a myth."

Gale: I just go along with him, since he definitely knows what hes saying

Envy: "Whatever."

Gale: You certainly aren't the likeable one of the bunch, but what about the other?
