Paralegal Imp
"And now with a little luck we can get back to doing our show."

Sneaky Little...

"Don't look now, but we have company."

"Greetings. Are you the mortal entities known as Harlan Jurgens and Jim?"

"Who's asking?"

"I'm Filthy Ratman, from the High Court of the Pit."

"You're a lawyer?"

Surprisingly 'Good' Lawyers

"No, I'm a process server. You are hereby served."

"Who could be suing us?"

"We did just participate in a massive inter-cult brawl, and unleashed a being of nigh infinite cosmic power."

"Lord Beelzebub is having you prosecuted for interfering in the lawful actions of a registered Gawd's religion. Please report to the court with your attorney within the next 7 days."
