As the fallers fell closer to Underworld a city broke out from behind the clouds: Lilith, capitol of the Underworld. It was a city unparalleled: its streets an array of alchemic formation in dizzying complexity, its skyscrapers spires at first innocent fuzz on the good peach but then spires and fingers threatening to prod and rend the essences of the skydivers from their bodies like a most bizarre sonority, its wyverns and guards throwing incomprehensible lights all around them in a maelstrom of signals not meant to be understood, its aura; even greater than all that.
"We're almost there!" Soon there was a giant pad on which to land and regain one's senses. It stood in the middle, it seemed, of those flashing lights and gave the place a center from which to grow. It was made of something a lot like foam and was very soft. The impact itself would be long and would pull at the skin in a curious way, making it seem like their bones could melt right through the pores without an ounce of pain. And they would be rebounded up, and down again; as many times as it took to stop. The trick here was to communicate, as not all rebounded and fell at the same rate.
When they finally stopped a devil woman would be there to check them in. Asia was smiling, almost giggling at how much fun it was. "It's not so bad, see?"
As the devil lady checked them in Alex just stared in awe. The architecture was similar to Heaven but it had its own unique twist. He had never seen anything like it, all he could say was wow.
Max just quickly took it in before saying. "So where are we heading Asia?"

"You like it, Alex? I heard the two had similar architectural layouts, but I guess this confirms it." She smiled, then to Max, "Ah, right... We should probably head over to the Gremory estate. Hopefully we can find Rias there or someone who knows where she is."
As she said this she was strapping on a parachute for the jump down. Nowhere did the brochures for the Under ever mention a physical being necessary, and yet here they were base jumping to get to the streets.
Once there they would lead to a train station with a roof which was itself one giant screen. "Come on, Alex. We can sightsee later." As they came to the platform a conductor--I assume--would inspect their stamps from the Chinvat. "We're going to the Gremory estate."
"Of course, ma'am. This way." The kind devil lead them to their own private bullet train.
"So, how do you like it so far?" She was asking both of them, but she really wanted to know what Alex thought, being an angel and all.
"Lucy I'm Home!" This would echo through the house as the front door would open fast. A male with white hair would step through the thresh hold, revealing it to be Nakumura. "Hm..No ones in here...." He burst through another door. "Lucy i'm-....Damn it, Really Lucifer!?! You were supposed to be here to back me up on this!" he said with a frown.

"Hello?" Grafia could have sworn she heard a voice from somewhere in the manor, but it was so big it often times took quite a while to hunt down the source, especially if it kept moving. After this game of cat and mouse had gone on for several moments Grafia finally tracked down Nakamura.
"Ah, Nakamura-kun. I didn't know you would be visiting us today. To what do we owe the pleasure?" She bowed and offered the younger devil a towelette, for some reason.
As he prepared to jump he just spread his wings and leaped. As they desended he would finally speak. "It is amazing Asia. It reminds me of home. Thank you for showing me this place."[/cilor]
Max just shrugged and jumped with his parachute. When he got to the station he showed his mark of Gremory and boarded the train. He really was kinda unemotional for the moment for some reason and Alex took note of it.

"Oh, hey Grafia, A certain supposed friend was suppose to back me up but i see he isn't here...Anyways I've been sending my Flame birds through the air of the city, it seems a number of houses have attempted to claim my brothers soul...You guys aren't planning anything involving my brother right?"
"Oh, good, I'm glad you think so," said Asia on the train. She gave Max a look. "Max...? Everything ok?"
Soon they would be at the gates to the estate. The automated checker checked them in. "Enjoy your stay," it said as a silent alarm was set off in the corridors of the preposterously large manor.
Meanwhile Grafia was getting tea ready for the first guest she'd had in over half a decade. Sad, she thought her services were on point, and far be it for her to succumb to self-doubt, being that special proud who's soul source--sol, if you will--of energy and inspiration in the servile arts was the charm and bemusement of Sirzechs Lucifer, but damnit she was having a day, and thought the worst. Suppose not though. "Oh, excuse me, won't you Nakamura-san? It appears we have more company." Glowing, she transported herself to the gate to bring the others to the parlor.
"Hello and welcome, all of you. I am--Oh, hello Asia. Are these new friends of yours?" She bowed to both of them. "I am Grafia, Sirzechs Lucifer's queen. Please, follow me to the guest parlor." A parlor just for guests? Shut up. Sirzechs-sama will be most pleased~
When they finally got there the group would find the cushions to be almost as soft as that landing pad from earlier, and the tea was right.
"See?" Said Asia. "The Gremory house is known for their hospitality."
"Why, thank you, Asia-san!" Placing a tray of sugar down she would remember they all had business there other than chewing the fat (ew) with Grafia. "So, what can I do for all of you?"

Confused Nakumura asked another question. "Wait did you just dance around my question?" He asked, he shook his head and found he didn't care for it but asked his earlier question. "Are you guys planning something for my little brother. Because everyone knows how i feel about my little brother." Hopefully flashbacks would take place inside the gremory member's head of the last family that attempted to kill Rai....so much fire...so much.
As they entered the place Alex was quiet and just stared in awe of the massive house. The only places he had ever seen houses this size was the upper tiers of Heaven, but had never actually been in one before. When the Lady of the House introduced herself. He would bow and say. "Alexander Sandors and this would be my brother, Maximilian Sandors of House Gremory. We apologize for our intrusion in your home." He would then follow her to the guest parlor and take a seat. Taking sip of the tea he would smile. Alex was a sucker for a good cup of tea and this tea was amazing. When asked why they were here he would let Asia explain.
Max just shook his head when asked the question on the train and remained quiet. In his mind he was nervous of making a fool of himself at the home of his house. When the group got to the home he still remained silent as he was introduced. When they arrived in the guest parlor he just remained standing and silent.

Grafia shot Nakamura a look which said "NOT NOW." There was a time for that. A place too; it just so happened the two had misaligned. Grafia would do her best as queen of Gremory to mitigate the situation as much as possible. "Would you excuse me a moment, Asia-san? I believe Nakamura-san's room is ready." She turned to the white haired devil. "If you would." She would then lead him to a private room in which they could talk more freely about the situation Rai was in.
"What you need to understand, Nakamura, is that Rai is your concern. The closer the tournament day draws the more House Gremory must focus on that... Or would you stack the fate of one boy against the stability of all three realms?" A loaded question, but effective; and yet to Nakamura it very well have meant nothing.
"The latest patrol confirms no kills by the name of Rai in Shinseiji-shi."
Meanwhile, back at the parlor...
"...Oh, Max, I really wish you would say something. Don't you feel alright? Has something disagreed with you? They say the jump from the Chinvat will have that effect the first couple times for some people, it's perfectly normal." Asia was a little too much when she got into nurse mode, but that only showed her innate bishop-hood. "Anyway, I'm sure we'll see Rias-sama soon. She'll be glad to know you two didn't fly off to fight that one guy."
"I know he hasn't been killed, but i also know houses have been aiming for his soul. I know how the tournament goes. Every house looks, or receives a person to represent them, don't get me wrong, order fixes everything and the tournament in no way should be messed with. But thats my little brother, and when it comes to him, i'd cause Anarchy among realms just to keep him alive. So i wanted to lay down a few people who i believe can represent the house if you'll listen." ((Remember rai is in the tournament, this is just a little big brothers instinct))

It took Alex a minute but then he recognized his brother's actions from when he had been smitten for a girl in school. "Calm down Max no need to be nervous. This is just like that Suzie girl from school, you were so worried you would make a fool of yourself you ended up doing just that trying to avoid it. Calm this will be over soon." Max gave his brother a glare but sighed i ln defeat. "Yes I know Alexander but it is hard. The Gremory's are one of the most prestigious houses in the Underworld. One false move one slip up and it would bring shame to this house."
"... I don't understand." Grafia didn't really didn't know what to think; the tournament wasn't for pillar houses. "As pillars, we are above the tournament, just as you are." She looked at his eyes. Nakamura obviously had an idea and she would hear him out. "...Who do you suggest should be in the tournament? And which house would he represent?"
"Oh, max!" Asia said laughing. "You're a Gremory too now, you know? There's hardly anything you can do to bring shame to us. Just relax! Alex here looks just fine, and he's the guest." She sipped her tea.
