[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. ♥

[and he's going to follow Sera's example, except with Robin, and stick close to her because he's a bro too.]

Man this trip is already boring.

[Sticking by though it's beginning to occur to her that this is probably not the group that needs looking after. 8|a]

A quiet walk isn't so bad considering . . .

Luka says, "You just wanted to go nearby. There's not much exciting around here. It's... orderly around here."

There are people - demons, though, some humanoid, others not. The sky is very, very dark, and also very, very far away; the pit you are in most likely casts shadows that prevents true light from entering.

Enter courthouse y/n

[troublebrewing]

[y!]

[delivoreance]

[also y]

[moextispicy]

I guess officialness is usually boring.

[y]

[crowbro]

Yeah, fine, whatever. Still boring.

[going inside yeeeeah]

[has come this far already. y!]

[arsgoetia]

You enter the courthouse!

The lobby is wide, with twin stairwells leading up left and right. Twisted archetecture fills it, metal beams and twisted wood and stone forming human figures throughout the walls, which bulge strangely. There is a cloud of smoke -- sort of Luka-like, actually -- twisting into various shapes behind the lobby desk. There are screams echoing through the building, sobbing pleas.

[troublebrewing]

That noise... other trials?

[delivoreance]

[eyeing the cloud of smooooke]

[moextispicy]

Mi- What are these? [examining the sculptures]

[crowbro]

[between the twisted figures and the screams, this place really sucks :(]

Is that cloud of smoke another demon? like Luka?

[criticalbit.livejournal.com]

[u-unsure, glancing to the faces on the figures]

[arsgoetia]

Perhaps the figures were just carved into the walls. Perhaps.

"They're probably other trials," Elli mutters. Luka adds, "Yes, that's a demon too. We're possessor-types."

[troublebrewing]

Do you know when yours is, Elli?

[delivoreance]

[Varnani's shadow is getting twitchy at the number of demons around them.]

...all of the cases relevant to us are interrelated...

[moextispicy]

Mi- Really? It's probably why it's such a big deal down here.

[crowbro]

[staring at the possessor demon :OOO]

Maybe we can ask that thing about the cases.

[criticalbit.livejournal.com]

It's worth a try, right?

[arsgoetia]

"If you want to." Elli gestures towards the possessor demon. "They are working reception, after all."

[troublebrewing]

[wandering up the left set of stairs]

[delivoreance]

[sticking with Elli]

[moextispicy]

[between the screams and the idea of questioning the receptionist, Rika's patience just snapped. Quietly giving up on the idea of sticking with people who can actually fight to unobtrusively make her way outside. Maybe she can ask a demon about the way to the entertainment district there.]
