Infernus' visual novel begins with Infernus greeting an old {{HeroIcon|Lady Geist}} at Jezebel's Billiards Hall before being interrupted by Hank shouting from another room. Leaving Lady Geist to find her own seat, Infernus finds Hank speaking to an inspector from the Alchemy Bureau. The inspector had arrived to quietly judge Jezebel's and noticed several legal problems with the institution. Giving Hank a large list of infractions, the inspector tells Hank and Infernus that they have 2 weeks to fix the problems or they'll shut down Jezebel's. While Hank believes it's impossible to save the bar, Infernus reassures him that they can fix things and starts thinking up a plan. | |||
