As the board meeting descended into chaos, with various demons pitching increasingly absurd ideas for torment (including "The Eternal DMV" and "Infinite Zoom Calls with Your In-Laws"), Pink had an epiphany.
"I've got it!" she shrieked, her voice shattering several eardrums and one unfortunate demon made entirely of glass. "We've been going about this all wrong. Instead of competing with Earth, we should be... outsourcing!"
Blue blinked slowly, a process that took several minutes due to the heavy layers of brimstone caked on his eyelids. "Out... sourcing?"
"Yes, you barrel of congealed stupidity," Pink explained, her patience wearing thinner than the ozone layer above a coal plant. "We'll send these sinners back to Earth, but with a twist. They'll be forced to experience the consequences of their actions firsthand!"
A wicked grin spread across Blue's face, causing several nearby lesser demons to spontaneously combust from the sheer malevolence.
"Oh, Pink," he purred, his voice like gravel in a blender, "this is why you're the brains of this operation. And the beauty. And the... well, everything else."
"I know," Pink preened, adjusting her halo, which doubled as a torture device in a pinch. "Now, let's get to work. We've got a lot of poetic justice to dish out."
