side: hell

[idolpro]

[ The light which spread everywhere intensifies, gaining not just brightness but color. It focuses with its intensity, golden lines swarming your vision. And where the gold coalesces, it leaves space between with a black that opens out like a sea, sweeping across your vision as your eyes adjust until you can see the truth of your new surroundings.

The golden bars are not the gates that welcomed you in.

They're the bars to a cell you've been dumped in with your unfortunate compatriots. A cell that sits in an inky sea of darkness, broken up not by light across objects in your vision but by brilliant colors each so solid that the darkness cannot cover them up. And, in your vision, guarding the cage is a figure, with six wings, each as golden as the bars. Their eyes are a milky expanse of white-blue light, emanating outwards, like they've caught you in headlights.

A jailer's keyring sits at their waist. ]

At least, not what we'd imagine demons to look like.

[iamverybadass]

I suspect they are not, but it does not make them any less dangerous in my opinion.

[rollplayinghouse]

Well, I think they are. At least, as much demons as anyone else we've dealt with. They might be with Pythia's faction, though.

[iamverybadass]

Don't say their names aloud. They may hear you.

[rollplayinghouse]

Do you think it would change anything if they do...?

[iamverybadass]

I think it might summon them. It has happened before.

[rollplayinghouse]

Sure, but we're already trapped, and they could call her anyway. Her showing up here might be more useful than whoever these guys are.

[iamverybadass]

[ Lowering his voice. ]

No. That should be a last resort.

When we are ready to get out, I can transform us into something small enough to slip through the bars.

[rollplayinghouse]

I doubt that will work. They're magical...

[She gets gold dust on her hand from touching them that burns her when she attempts Harder They Fall.

But then she does appear to have burnt them out somewhat?]

[iamverybadass]

There's got to be some way...

[ Oh that looks promising! But also hard to miss for a guard.

So he's going to keep one of them talking to buy her at least a little more time ]

[rollplayinghouse]

[Unfortunately he's just watching her. And the bar comes back even once she's gotten it out.]
