How to Win Versus Leviathan

Teli POV:

"Okay, so let's go over this one more time." Mammon said the next morning as we made our way to the entrance of the House of Lamentation.

"You want to get into the attic at the top of the stairs. But Lucifer's standing in your way. So, you've got to do something about him. Which is why ya need the curse vinyl edition of The Tale of the Seven Lords soundtrack. I mean, I don't understand why Lucifer cares so much about somethin' like that either, but whatever." I smiled when I noticed that Mammon actually got the franchise's name right for the first time. Man, he really got into it, didn't he? Then again, they do say all you need in order to get someone invested in a story is to have someone they can relate to...

"The point is that Levi's got the soundtrack, and ya need to borrow it from him. And the only way to do that is to get him to like you by becoming a big TSL nerd just like him. So, we were up all last night watching a marathon session of every TSL DVD." Mammon summed up.

Did you get that, audience? Great!

"Now it's time for a review. I'll quiz you to see just how well you understand it." Mammon said as we started walking down the stairs.

"We'll start with TSL DVD Volume 2. After falling into a trap set by Henry and the Lord of Shadow, the Lord of Fools is forced to flee to the north. When he gets there, he finds his former sweetheart's body frozen in ice. What's her name?"

I was tempted to say Goldie but I decided against that.

"Geldie." I replied.

"Correct. Eh, though anyone could've gotten that right, as easy as it was. All right, let's hit DVD Volume 5 next. Hostile forces from another land invade the Lord of Flies' country, surrounding and isolating him so his people will starve. So, the Lord of Fools tries to help his brother. The Lord of Fools means well, but his efforts backfire. As a result, the Lord of Flies ends up in an even worse situation. The reason for this has to do with the supply of food that the Lord of Fools sends. Tell me what the problem was." Mammon inquired.

Though I'm pretty sure Beel would've eaten the food no matter what, it was still the answer to the question.

"The food had spoiled." I replied.

"Right. The Lord of Fools really did mean well, but a long rainy spell caused the food he sent to spoil. Ugh... Every single time I think about it, it makes me wanna cry..."

"Please don't, I don't want to send my uniform to dry cleaning as well." I said, remembering how my wool shirt ended up getting dirty from Mammon's boogers.

Bubbe would've probably killed me if she wouldn't have thought I've been punished enough by being covered in snot. Or if she knew at all...

"All right, time to move on. Next up is DVD Volume 7. The Lord of Corruption imprisons the Lord of Emptiness in the Tower of Shadow, refusing to forgive his brother for leading a rebellion against him. The other lords lament the fate of their youngest brother, but there's nothing they can do to help him. Why is that?"

"They were afraid of the Lord of Corruption." I replied. 

"Great. Looks like you can do this when ya really put your mind into it." He said as we finally reached the bottom of the stairs, "You may seem like an airhead, but I've gotta admit, you did pretty well. I'd say you should be able to convince Levi that ya know your stuff at this point."

"Gee, thanks." I replied with an eye roll as we turned to each other.

"...Hey, human." We turned our attention to the top of the stairs, and there stood Levi, looking grumpy.
