Stumbletrick,
Before you set one filthy gnarled claw on this continent, let me make one thing clear: America is mine.
While you and the other demons in the East enjoy your jihads and genocide, I and those under my tutelage have been slaving away, breaking our spiny backs in America for centuries. We have been working our talons down to the nub laying a groundwork of such nuance and sophistication that I doubt you can understand it, let alone replicate it.
Follow my instructions, but don’t even think about doing anything more. I don’t want morons like you interfering with the elaborate seductions in America that have taken generations to establish.
Now for your assignment. It’s not difficult, but I fear your years of service in the easy evil of the East have softened your brain, if not your scales, since our time together at the academy. You weren’t all that impressive then either. Still, only an idiot could fail at this point, which I suppose is why the powers below chose you. If they gave me carte blanche, this would be done already.
Regardless, your victim stands at the edge of a precipice. It’s all cued up. It only remains for you to push her over. We have done all the heavy lifting. I would go into more detail, but you know what they say about throwing pearls before swine. I’ll leave some of the work for you to do yourself.
Whatever you do, don’t screw up —
