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. ]

[idolpro]

Yep! I'm absolutely terrified! It's my first day on the job, you see! Totally just a novice.

[ Her words might be cheerful but she says them with an anger that more or less ruins the nonchalance she might have been aiming for ]

[iamverybadass]

...Wait. Are you serious?

[idolpro]

Very! Duh! Obviously! I tell people it's my first day all the time, even when it's not!

[iamverybadass]

That must get frustrating for you.

[ Honestly, between Leo making a distraction of himself and the stunt Kohime and Intensity are pulling, he's just waiting for both guards' attention to be off him. ]

[idolpro]

Ugh, why are you pretending to be sympathetic?! You're the dumb bastards who got caught!

[ Well, as long as he keeps talking, it looks like he'll keep her attention.

Especially since she just wrote off Leo ]

[iamverybadass]

[ Well. A distraction will help Maki out. ]

Who said I'm pretending? Just because you caught us doesn't make you the real bad guy.

[idolpro]

[ Except for the fact the man is just fairly clearly watching her do that ]

Bad guy? What are you, a tv addict?

[iamverybadass]

[ Fuck this entire situation. All of it can go straight into the garbage

Just. Watching for the next time one of them reaches into the cell ]

The opposite, in fact.

[idolpro]

Right, a performer. What the hell are you doing breaking out of that?

[ Depending on how you prefer your time bending, he might witness John saying he wants a call and being taken out of the cell

He passes straight through the bars, as if they're not there at all ]

[iamverybadass]

Haven't you ever wanted to just take a vacation?

[ Hmmmm interesting. ]

Do we each get a phone call?

[idolpro]

Not in jail. That's not a vacation spot.

One each. That's it! No more.

[iamverybadass]

Obviously the plan was to not get caught.

[ Checking to see if he got left with anything useful—a knife he brought tucked in his pants, his medkit + invisibility potions, cell phone ]

[idolpro]

[ Nothing got lost, actually, he still has it all. ]

[idolpro]

Then you did a bad job following the plan!

[iamverybadass]

[ Narrows his eyes ]

Shouldn't you be glad that we did? It made the job of catching us easier.

[idolpro]

Like I care. Punishment comes down on the unrighteous, so if you got caught it's because you deserved it!

[iamverybadass]

I see.

I will be taking my phonecall now.

[ And. Bringing all his stuff with him. ]

[idolpro]

[ Reluctantly, she puts a talon out for Talon to take ]

[iamverybadass]

[ Takes her claw delicately ]

[idolpro]

[ She pulls him through, and after getting her retina scanned, there's the sensation of the elevator going up and stopping a floor above where John was let off

The door slides open to let him through to make his call ]

[iamverybadass]

[ Cool.

Cool.

Okay, getting one of his invisibility potions and... ...eyeing the phone...





Picks up the receiver and, rather than dialing any number, just says: ] Asmodeus, pick up.
