Murmur was in Deus' realm, talking on the phone.
"Don't let it get you down, Moloch. Kek's just stronger these days. It's...okay, yeah, but...look, Moloch, it doesn't matter if his worship is ironic, it's still worship. Just let it go, dude. Oh, did anyone see Gusion today? He's been missing for a while, and I thought...alright, well, he's a smart guy, he'll probably be fine, wherever he is. Anyway...what? King Bael resigned as mayor of the mortals? Why? Oh, of course. Honestly, I don't see why he thought people would be cool with a demon running their city. Who's gonna replace him? What's an election? Well, that's fucking stupid. Why trust the people? The people are idiots, they don't know what they want. Someone should just pick for them, like we did. So they haven't decided the candidates yet?"
Murmur smiled. "Oh, I have the fucking funniest idea ever. Like, you are gonna laugh your fucking ass off. No, I'm not telling you what it is, it's a surprise. Not a lot of surprises in Hell. Except for Hiyama...the first time, that is!" He laughed. "Okay, so...how's Earth-1A? Still bad?"
He sighed. "I swear, those freaks are getting stronger every day. Hey, I didn't know THAT was gonna happen! I didn't mean to fuck up like that! I just thought if I was gonna have an undead servant, I should, y'know, power it up a little...I mean, it was just a human kid! Even if it was a Diary Holder...y'know what I think happened? The energy that Earth-1A's Deus put in the Diaries must've caused my powers to go out of control. That same energy causes the Holders to disappear when they die. I caught that thing in the middle of its little Houdini impersonation, and...well, you know the rest. No, I don't know if they can come to our universe!" He paused. "I hope they can't. Anyway...look, I'd appreciate it if you stopped interrupting me. I...wait, WHAT?! IT WENT TO ANOTHER MULTIVERSE?! WHICH ONE?!"
He listened to Moloch's reply, and was confused. "Earth-YY-1? Well, what's there that they'd want? What do you mean, 'nothing'? That's strange...of course, these things are completely insane with the powers of gods, so I guess they can do whatever they feel like. Maybe it's some kind of invasion plan, like what those Death Fiber things are doing? Y'know, when you told me about them, I thought something about them felt familiar, and I just remembered what it was. One of them was in the Observer's brain. That must've caused his insanity. Anyway, back to the invasion thing. It could be that they're picking off the weakest universes first, the ones without any defenses. I...okay, I'll wait, you go take the call."
He sighed and started humming to himself for a few minutes. Eventually, Moloch returned. "THERE you are! So...oh, fuck. If the Death Fibers ally with those things...well, we'll probably still be alright. It's the abominations we have to worry about, the Death Fibers are small fry compared to them. Well, for us, anyway, the other multiverses are probably fucked. Which one went there, anyway? What do you mean, 'kinda like' the First? Was it the First or not? You don't know? ITS SOUL WAS WHAT?! That...that shouldn't be possible. But I guess a lot of things are possible these days. I knew Diabolus was powerful, but...yeah, Diabolus Ex Machina. That's what the one I resurrected is calling itself. It gets PISSED when you compare it to Deus, though. It kept going on about its world's Deus 'taking their beloved away from them'. It said neither it or the one it loved would've died if it hadn't been for Deus. Then it just started ranting. It said, 'I need Yuki, I need Yuki', and it just went on and on like that for HOURS. Fucking creepy, right? Anyway, tell me when you find Gusion, I'm going down to Earth to talk to the idiots. You'll see why, just keep watching the human news. I know it's boring, just keep watching it. Later, Moloch."
Murmur appeared in the gang's living room in a cloud of smoke. "Hey, mortals, I-is someone strangling a cat?"
"That's just Yuki and Yuno," said Minene.
"Oh. Anyway, did you hear about Bael resigning?"
"Yeah, I heard," said Ai. "It's too bad, I liked him as a mayor."
"And do you remember what he did before he resigned?"
"He said that, 'Anyone, regardless of age or experience, may run for mayor'. And then he passed a law to make it official."
"That's right. And I think one of you should be mayor!"
"Why?" asked Marco.
"Because that would be very, very funny to me. Anyway, who's gonna run?"
"...I'll do it," said Tsubaki.
"YOU?!" asked John.
"Yeah, I think it would really help get my life back on track, and I have some ideas on-"
"There's no way in Hell I'll allow you to ruin my city! I, Johnathan Bacchus, will once again run for mayor of Sakurami!"
"Fuck you, John," said Ai. "She'll be a great mayor!"
"Tsubaki," said Yomotsu, "I'll join your cause! As it is my duty to destroy evil, what better way than to help the mayor come up with new ways of dealing with them? The police are depressingly inefficient, and must have more funding!"
"I'd take offense to that if it wasn't true," said Keigo.

Born on February 28, 1992, Ai was abandoned by her parents at the age of ten. She met the eleven year old Marco, who brought her to Kamado's orphanage. Ai is kind and very protective of the ones she loves, especially Marco, who is now her fiance. She's often annoyed by Yuki's antics. She sees a lot of herself in Yuno. She dislikes Takao. She is friends with Keigo. She occasionally wonder what it would be like to have a son like Rei. Tsubaki is her closest friend. She loves Marco more than anyone else. She sees Kamado as a surrogate mother. She has an odd friendship with Minene, where the two often compete with each other over trivial things. She hates Karyuudo. She thinks John is annoying. She thinks Yomotsu is a little strange, but is still friends with him. She is friends with Aru, but often questions his attraction to Yuki for several reasons (such as Yuki being straight and in a relationship; she also questions how ANYONE could be attracted to Yuki because of his personality). She likes Yuki's friends, the orphans, the family members, and Nishijima. She has a neutral opinion of Deus and Murmur.
