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]

Go right ahead.

[ And, just like that.

He doesn't seem to be there? ]

Re: THE CELL

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Well, if he still has a grip on the keys, guess we are awkwardly holding them outside of the cell.

If not, he pulls his hand back in]

...

Well that didn't tell us much of anything.

Re: THE CELL

[purrrnicious]

Ugh. It tells us they can apparently teleport. Did you at least get the keys?

Re: THE CELL

[idolpro]

[ Kaiba still has his grip on the keys... outside the cell. If he wants to put his hand back in he does need to let go of them, yes.

At which point they clatter to the ground ]

Re: THE CELL

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Guess it's awkward holding then]

Technically speaking, yes.

Re: THE CELL

[purrrnicious]

[Observing that. . .]

So, what, only these jerks with wings can pass through?





[Taking a quick look around the ground to see if the guard dropped any feathers before he left while he was reaching through the bars –– and is the second angel still hanging around?]

Re: THE CELL

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Also, since he's immobile and no one else here was in the heaven trip]

Those glowing markings on the floor next to Maki - those are magic power lines. You need to destroy them to cut the power.

Re: THE CELL

[stakesthesame]

... is that it? I don't think we messed with the power lines last time.

Re: THE CELL

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

We did. Someone broke them. Though we don't have anyone with that ability at the moment.

[AKA Bad End.

Gestures to the keys]

Can you levitate these for a moment?

Re: THE CELL

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Actually, you know what?

Can Intensity access that panel with his FiN powers from over here?]

Re: THE CELL

[idolpro]

[ He can!

What is he attempting to do? ]

Re: THE CELL

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Project a list of menus for one.

Putting binoculars in his eye means he might even be able to read it from way over here]

Re: THE CELL

[idolpro]

[ It looks like a pretty simple menu. It operates the elevator car this cell is in.

You're currently stopped at a phone booth, one floor down from where John was let off to make his phone call. ]

Re: THE CELL

[idolpro]

[ The second angel is-- depending on flexible timeline-- arguing with Talon or taking Leo to the phone ]

Re: THE CELL

[purrrnicious]

Erase them with what?


. . .I could puppet the other guard, use her to pull us through. We just have to be fast enough before she disappears, too.

[Actually, you know what, screw it. Puppet time.]

Re: THE CELL

[idolpro]

[ Pick your place on the timeline! Is she arguing with Talon or taking Leo to the phonebooth? ]

Re: THE CELL

[purrrnicious]

[...Taking Leo, AFTER she's already pulled him out of the cell. Because clearly we should have a Leo running loose out there.]

Re: THE CELL

[idolpro]

[ Alright! You are now puppetting her while Leo is unsupervised out of his cell, with the door to a phone booth open

Now what? ]

Re: THE CELL

[composeur]

[ welp, lionel's busy now! wanders on over towards this guy OH HEY ]

It's you! You're that guy! I have a keychain of you!! [ of all the people to be on the other side of the bars it just had to be this guy huh ]

Re: THE CELL

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[It just had to be this guy. But it's not like the keys are doing him any good so---

Tosses it to him]

Try not to fuck it up. Or do. At least that might be entertaining.

Re: THE CELL

[composeur]

[ catches them! twirling them around his finger, hu huuu~ ]

Of course! What kind of idol would I be if I didn't entertain? Then again, since I'm in idol jail now I guess that kind of answer is clear? [ hm, hm... well! ]

Nothing fun can happen if you're all stuck in a jail cell anyways. [ let's find the hole for this key to let y'all out ]

2/2

[composeur]

[ -- oh wait there's no keyhole ]

Eh? What? Did I miss it? Did it disappear??

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

...

No. It was never there in the first place.

[composeur]

[ PIKACHU FACE ]

Why would you give me the keys if they don't go to the cell! That's stupid!!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Because I couldn't pull them through the bars on this side and it's better to have someone on the outside with them!
