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. ]

Let me know if you do the first. Don't do the second. And good luck with the third.

[snorts lightly]

You're not worried about us all getting punished?

[she asks after he just tried to punch them out of jail in full view of the guards]

Re: THE CELL

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

To be quite honest, they just don't seem to care that much.

Maybe punishment at the end of all this, but ---

[Shrugs.

Is he a little bit worried about Talon and John? Yes. The rest (himself included)? Eh. They can take it]

Re: THE CELL

[rollplayinghouse]

They don't seem interested in doing anything of their own initiative at all. But that might not be true of someone we call.

Re: THE CELL

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Let me ask you this.

Who could you call that would actually give a shit that a handful of idols got lost backstage and put in time out?

Re: THE CELL

[rollplayinghouse]

The only possible answers are Pythia or Asmodeus, right...? If this was all meant to be a secret, they both might be interested to hear where we are.

Re: THE CELL

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Does that really matter?

This is also part of the production.

Re: THE CELL

[rollplayinghouse]

Is it...? Will it continue to be, if we're put on trial, or something?

And either way, we aren't the only concern.

Re: THE CELL

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

"You're imeeji productions property."

[Of course he would be eavesdropping on everyone else's conversations with the guards]

Yes, yes, we might have some small value in whatever squabble is going on between Pythia or Asmodeus and this new weird third party.

But ultimately. This is all the production.

The same opponent.

Re: THE CELL

[rollplayinghouse]

I know that. I don't know if they're even a third party... these guys kind of seem like they don't really care who they report to that far up. I'm not expecting calling them to get us out.

It just seems like if we're going to get put on trial for a mission we got sent on, there might be some leverage around knowing how and why we got here. And either sharing or not sharing that information, depending.

Re: THE CELL

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Then it would be best of you to see if you can dig up some information to back that up.

All we have is that man's word after all.

[Who apparently got shipped off somewhere else which also probably doesn't bode well for them]

And who knows how serious an offense attempted escape is to the idol disciplinary committee.

Re: THE CELL

[rollplayinghouse]

...Then I'll see what I can do.
