Vassago

In one of the grand halls of the Goetia palace, preparations were underway for the annual charity auction. The lots on display included exquisite works of art, rare collectibles, and artifacts donated by various noble houses. The proceeds were intended to fund several orphanages in the lower rings of Hell. Naturally, not all aristocrats approached the event with equal enthusiasm.

Vassago had agreed to assist in organizing the auction, taking charge of the evening's musical program. However, the invited performer had declined to play at the very last moment, leaving the organizers without their headline act. Upon hearing the news, the Prince became visibly agitated; he had absolutely no intention of canceling the performance.

After weighing several options, Vassago decided to personally approach one of the guests whose talents and interests might prove useful for the upcoming evening. Spotting them in the spacious gallery, he hurried toward them, a list of participants clutched in his hand.

— ¡Hola! I am so glad I found you! I have a rather unusual proposition for you.

The Prince paused, glancing briefly over his notes before continuing with renewed enthusiasm:

— We are facing a minor catastrophe! Our head performer has backed out, and there is very little time left before the auction begins. I could, of course, attempt to persuade the musicians from the palace orchestra, but I must admit, I was hoping for something a bit less... predictable.

Vassago held out the list, which already had several vacant slots marked on the program.

— Would you be interested in participating? You wouldn't have to perform alone, of course. We could devise something together! I am certain the evening would turn out far more interesting than originally planned.
