[Day 4] Hell

[arsgoetia]

Some of you are discussing serious lawyering with the most serious lawyer. Others are reuniting with old friends, or meeting new ones(?) . . . and some of you are just flat-out riding bad decision dinosaur trains.

The adventure continues. ♥

Re: [More exploring?]

[possessive]

[are there any other doors out of the common room other than the ones we came in from?]

Re: [More exploring?]

[arsgoetia]

No, but the common room lets onto a labyrinthine maze of passages, which has other doors.

[my_pleasure]

Come on.

[ When in doubt, try the nearest door! ]

[possessive]

[pfft]

The first door you see?

[arsgoetia]

The first door opens onto a ... long corridor!

[my_pleasure]

Don't get lost. Follow me.

[ Yep, going down that hallway like a boss. A slenderboss. ]

[arsgoetia]

The hallway seems to cross some sort of boundary line, as the walls are abruptly a different colour. It leads to a set of stairs.

[possessive]

... [oi] I'm not going to. [you're pretty easy to follow anyway. looks around at the walls, frowning]

[my_pleasure]

Good.

[ Yep. Taking those stairs. ]

[arsgoetia]

Up the stairs is:

A path into the rest of the building

An exit through the lobby

[possessive]

[looks down the path into the rest of the building. is there anything notable at first glance?]

[arsgoetia]

It appears to be an official government building, perhaps indeed the courthouse.

[my_pleasure]

Don't bother with that. Come on.

[ Through the lobby towards the exit it is! ]

[arsgoetia]

You exit into the government district! Lots of official-looking buildings here, and some busy demons moving among them.

[possessive]

And now what? Which direction?

[my_pleasure]

I don't know, but let's try not to look too lost.

[ He doesn't know where he's going, but he strides purposefully down the nearest busy-ish street that leads away from the building. ]

[arsgoetia]

Quick! Pick a direction: NSEW

[possessive]

[let's say that's north, then!]

I'm pretty sure we stand out, no matter what. We're only here in soul, remember?

[my_pleasure]

A little confidence can go a lot farther than you think. At least, I'd rather not draw any extra attention to us.

[possessive]

Of course not, I was just saying.

[is attentive of his surroundings though, casually noting any signs if they're readable]

[arsgoetia]

North, always north.

The buildings begin to thin out to more ricketty structures. The ground rocks again with an ominous rumble.

[my_pleasure]

...hmm. This way now.

[ West, down the next street or alley that looks like it might go somewhere else. ]

[possessive]

[just shakes his head] Hopefully we won't end up in a complete wasteland.

[arsgoetia]

Buildings, again, close together, lower class than before. Lots of violet lights here, and you start to hear more of the sound of people, laughing, talking, screaming, sobbing.

[my_pleasure]

[ Like a champ, going towards the sound of voices. Maybe he can wheedle information on getting the hell out of here, pun not entirely intended. ]

You didn't have to come with me, you know.
