ENDGAME GROUP 1: Hellscapes (Log 1)

[yourghosthost]

Now then.

[The initial groups have begun to disperse, and Ghostave and a group of stalwart young heroes remain seated right where they are.]

One of the things we’re looking for is supposedly in The Underworld. I intend to use this opportunity to speak to Hades as well, about his intentions.

...As well as find this “other box” that he seems to have so casually mentioned. Do we have any questions before we venture forth?

(ooc: if you’re in group 1, this is one of your logs!)

[This "employees only" door looks like a good start, right?]

[hallotween]

[hell yeah we're going in.]

[madmadam]

[Casually kicks the door while munching on a kebab made of... things that might be meat?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Might be.

This is largely a winding river of tunnels and hallways, filled with demons that back away at the sight of Jiminy Cricket. Though, eventually, there's a huge door staffed by a lizard-like man.]

Eh, he's here for the fight, right?

[kindaruledatit]

[Oh my, you're a lizard.]

You bet! He's here to fight, and to win. I'm sure you already know what he's capable of.

[whistlenotchirp]

[He looks like he wants to cry]

[kindaruledatit]

[Ssssshh we can still make this work]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Pssh.]

Up against the weaklin' he killed? Sure. But against this new guy they've got, he don't stand a chance.

[There's a large ding. The ringing of a bell.]

That's yer cue. Get out dere.

[hallotween]

[ahahahaha this. it's fine. we got this.]

You heard the lizard. Let's go.

[whistlenotchirp]

[um]

Wendy, it kind of sounds like I actually have to fight someone.

[madmadam]

Here. [Conjures up a bottle of bleach.] This is your weapon of choice, innit?

[whistlenotchirp]

NOT THE TIME!

[hallotween]

[JUST KINDA. FIDDLING WITH HER NECKLACE.]

[whistlenotchirp]

Marnie i am very small and fighters are usually big

[hallotween]

I can fix that if you want how do you feel about magic

[whistlenotchirp]

well i was killed by a guy who turned kids into donkeys so not my favorite???

[hallotween]

it's fine it's witch magic it's better.

also you're probably not a fan of getting squished so.

[kindaruledatit]

It... it's fine. Don't worry, Jiminy. You're not gonna have to fight anyone.

[Ahahah.... is there anything they can do here?]

[whistlenotchirp]

They think I'm a bloodthirsty warrior! It seems like that's usually involved!

[kindaruledatit]

We'll think of something! Don't worry!

[Stop panicking. KEEP IT TOGETHER]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[it's fine y'know what we're just gonna usher you out into the colosseum, hundreds of cheering fans. everything's great.]

Ladies and not-ladies, welcome to the Underdrome's sixty-six millionth, six hundred thousandth and sixty sixth match of the day! We've got a fun one for you today, folks! In this corner, the destroyer of worlds, wearer of a very dumb and angry badge, Jiminy Cricket!

[THUNDEROUS APPLAUSE]

[hallotween]

[just. does a little self-clasping handshake and smiles at the crowd and tries not to cry.]

1/2

[kindaruledatit]

[Throws up some devil horns and cheers with the crowd...]

YEAAAAAH!

[whistlenotchirp]

[He's practically shaking in terror. Oh sweet christmas that's.... so many people.]

Uh, thank you! That's... great. I actually don't wear it anymore. It was a gift and I felt it was only right to... pass it on...

goodness that's loud.

[hallotween]

Yes. [beat] Y'know, this probably makes me look like the worst manager ever, but I just totally lost the fight schedule for today! Think you can refresh my memory, champ?
