[ Seven years gone is seven years too long. Alastor loathes the fact that he has returned and so many things have changed. Well. Truthfully, Hell is still Hell. That part never changes. Sinners never change. That's just the way of things. However the development of Hell's culture certainly has and Alastor can't think that it is for the better. There's little doubt in his mind that there had been something of a vacuum that his absence had created and that a particular group had taken advantage of that.
It makes him sick to his stomach.
Now there is much for Alastor to learn, to catch up on. That's how he has found himself watching one of those picture boxes. They are growing rather thin now, aren't they? Barely anything but a screen! And on it is the news, which is rather advantageous to Alastor. It means that he can at least get a broadcast about the latest.
Which happens to be this hilarious segment about Lucifer's daughter. Redeeming Sinners? Laughable. Entirely and completely ludicrous. The girl is clearly misguided, isn't she? But the naive ones, such as this one, can be made of use. Alastor is already tapping on the tip of his cane, thinking about how he might be able to sway this child. Use her to meet his own ends.
The first of which, of course, is to get himself back to where he ought to be. Then make the ones responsible for putting him in such a state where making a deal had been necessary pay. Dearly. Oh Alastor can already think about how that will go down and who knows? Maybe he will be the one to make this child sing and dance to his tune.
All the while, of course, he hasn't quite caught onto the fact that he maybe could be watched from afar. What are drones? He doesn't know! ]
