there is literally no reason to refuse, one simply assumes that there is an ulterior motive to their action rather than altruism (it benefits them)

>"offer"
No, I'm pretty sure I order my summons to do my bidding.

>>52551949

Gets rid of a higher evil outsider in their way? Or maybe it's a Lawful evil vs Chaotic evil thing.
>>
>>52551901
Well then, why is it considered evil?
>>
>>52551901
But of course. If they are looking to redeem themselves then I welcome their aid and likewise aid them on their path to righteousness.

Aye, but we're an all evil party, then what?

Honestly if the fucker's gonna help us, fucker's getting something. I don't like being in debt and gods know I'm not getting involved in a loan with the ruinous powers.

>>52551901
...Okay? I'm an opportunistic fuck who got where I am now by seizing opportunities like this.
I mean, sure, I'll take necessary precautions, like investigating the situation and asking him what he gets out of it, but there is very little to refuse without further context established.

>>52551901
Luckily, they have Marks of Justice for such an occasion

I think I'd expect betrayal at a key point, personally.

I can't see working with a creature made out of Evil backfiring in any way, shape, or form.

Yeah, just MoJ it and have a bunch of people on standby to smite the fuck out of it if it so much as twitches in a way you don't like.

thats always a risk with any allies, even that paladin aiding you might go full "purge the heathens" if he thinks his god told him to

There could be any number of things.

Paladins aren't literally MADE of Evil, though.

No, they're just skeletons wearing meat suits, doing spooky scary skeleton things.

just like everyone else.

It's probably just some fey trying to ruin someone's reputation by impersoning them.

and demons arent 100% made of evil, theres a % of law in there with demons, and a % of chaos in there with devils.

and besides - people do the worst shit when they think its good, at least with demons you know they are selfish

>theres a % of law in there with demons, and a % of chaos in there with devils.

I think you got that reversed broski.
>>
>>52552624
I'd still want to know which of those it is.

If the evil that's helping me fight {evil 1} to hurt {evil 2} when I didn't know {evil 2} was involved, that's useful to know. I like to keep track of which evils I've pissed off.

>>52552707
to be fair, with how bureaucratic the EVIL is, it'll inevitably get around to the point that ten years down the line you'll find yourself pissed off at yourself for apparently no reason what so ever.

I'll take a paladin with a small chance of going "PURGE THE HEATHENS, DEUS VULT!" over a creature that is pretty much guaranteed to betray you once it gets what it wants from you. Paladins generally stab you in the front, at any rate.
>>
>>52552727
semantics are pretty important desu.

It's the difference between the summoning ritual going off without a hitch, and you finding yourself hanging from a flaming tree by your pinkie toe above a pit of lava being a Balor took offense to your calling him Lawful.

>>52553640
To be fair, Disgaea Demons really aren't so much "demons" in the classic sense, but rather interdimensional ayys with a mentality predisposed towards impulse and lower self-control.

Hence why Mao is the ideal Demon, and the top Honors Student, because he has awful impulse control
>>
>>52553709
Exactly.
Thus, this demon is offering to help the party because it Sounds Fun and no other reason.
Because it's a Disgaea demon.

Draw up a binding contract. If they get up to shenanigans, claim eternal servitude. Make contract airtight.

She's full of shit like all demons, smite her. Why people are willing to put up with manifestations of evil just because they're cute is beyond me.

Goddamn I love these characters.

Disgaea DS was my first game with multiple endings. Unfortunately I didn't know that at the time, so I got the bittersweet end where Flonn dies, Laharl gives up his life to bring her back, and he comes back as a prinny. I cried because I thought that was how it ended.
>>
>>52551901
Traveling with the party to achieve this good cause could give it legitimacy or access to something it couldn't reach on it's own terms. Even a brief association could be used against the party later.

Plenty of reason to refuse outside of desperate circumstances.
>>
>>52551901

Guys demons aren't Saturday morning breakfast cartoon villains from the 90s that are incapable of doing good things because they are good.

They conceivably could contribute towards an objectively good cause. Only, they would be doing it because it benefited them or presented opportunities to inflict greater harm. Or maybe they're doing it JUST so they could bait you into stopping them so they could do a dramatic reveal to society and get you shunned and hated.

That sounds more like Devils to me.
I always imagined Demons to be like Kevin Eleven from Ben 10 Classic. Just Huge Selfish Assholes, but they are so Far on the scale, that they'll do stupidly asshole-ish things that either make the suffer in the long term or require more more simply work because they hate having to compromise with others. It works as a good weakness to outsmart them or turn them against each other.
>>
>>52556195
Even a selfish asshole can still do good things. For example, stopping the end of the world because they don't want to die
>>
>>52556428
They will immediately betray you when the world is saved through.
