WEEK SEVEN: ENDGAME

[hellscapes]

Rise and shine, little deadlings. It's the dawn of the final day. The oppressive heat of Hell seems to rise and fall around you, and no matter where you slept last night you'll find that all of the islands across this realm are buzzing with excitement. You all know what comes next. Take some time, gather yourselves, and maybe even have some breakfast. Pick out your best party outfits and brush up on your etiquette. At about eleven in the morning, all participants single-dead and double-dead will find themselves on the receiving end of a new DM.

party starts in an hour!! if you're not in line now, you're gonna miss the start!!

Better start making your way to those wrought-iron gates at the edge of the city. You can see it now, the giant mansion situated at the top of the volcano, but it's still a distance away. The line seems to crawl, slowly, and as you draw closer you'll see several demons and humans being let through and just as many being turned away. But you? Lucky you...as you approach, a flickering shadow three times your size looks you over before letting you through the gate. There's a bridge strung over a pool of lava, wobbling with your every step as your skin practically boils you alive.

But then...as you approach the front doors? The Mansion Welcomes You.

Come on in! You were invited, after all. The party's just getting started but there isn't a shortage of humans and demons already milling around the property as music blasts from all directions. Immediately as you enter, you'll see a large sign hanging in the foyer advertising today's drink-off. There's also a list of names under it:

Akira Fudo
Arataki Itto
Gideon Nav
Hana Song
Harrowhark Nonagesimus
Hunter (Blonde)
Kaname Date
Kuranosuke Koibuchi
Lin Jingheng
Lu Bixing
Persephone
Rynlan Dawnslight
Ryo Asuka
Thancred Waters
Zelgadis

The drink-off itself isn't for another couple of hours though. So why not relax and enjoy the party? Mingle around, explore the house, make your way to the bar to grab a drink...and prepare to play for your life.

Hi and happy endgame everybody! We're so excited to see you here! Today's endgame activities are going to be a little fast and loose, so please be sure to check out the various top levels for what's available to you!

[ she wants to punch him, but instead she looks at him for a long moment before she draws a card

and slaps a jack against his chest. ]

So play with me.

[teufelshund]

Absolutely!

[ takes the card and gives it a little twirl like a magician! ]

Let's see, I just gave Mr. Asuka one of my more entertaining secrets...

...Well, it isn't a secret what I am anymore, but the detail I've generally avoided spreading around is that the Satan in my own world is my father! I didn't want anyone thinking I had a hand in this whole situation when it started, and it would have been too weird to bring it up later.

[preordain]

[ looks over here. lmao. looks away. ]

[teufelshund]

[ y e a h ]

[forefall]

[ me: goes to look of course it was him.

meanwhile, four doesn't look too surprised. ]

That explains a lot. You do look like Satan spawn.

Do you like your father?

[teufelshund]

Thanks.

I do not! He has a very one-track mind... obsessed with obtaining a body and destroying everything in the human world. It's quite troublesome for me.

[forefall]

I can relate.

[ with which part? don't worry about it. ]

Are you fighting against your father, then?

[teufelshund]

Oh?

[ curious headtilt, even though he doesn't really expect an elaboration. ]

I am, yes. My father and some of my siblings.

[forefall]

Parental figures with a one track mind being very troublesome and wanting to destroy everything.

[ the drink she's drinking could be anything. ]

..... I can't believe this is something I have in common with you.

[teufelshund]

I see. It's a surprise to me as well!

[ ... ]

Well, if you feel like venting about it sometime, I don't mind lending an ear.

[forefall]

[ she shrugs. ]

I'm dead because the sister I loved the most killed me.

[ the way she'd usually have an emotional breakdown before admitting this if it weren't for a combination of alcohol. ]

[teufelshund]

[ ...this is where they completely differ because he has never loved any part of his "family" so he's just kind of mentally like "that's rough, buddy" even if he's curious to hear about all this. ]

What was her reason for that?

[forefall]

[ that's fine. four says she loves, but is it love? ]

One day, she suddenly started trying to kill us all. I know as much as you do on that front.

[ she's a wee bit bitter (read: a lot) ]

[teufelshund]

[ he doesn't have that feeling either, but she seems at least somewhat valid here. ]

Hm. Do you know what kinds of things usually motivated her?

[forefall]

She's been going on one murderous rampage after another. She's hardly the person I remember anymore.

[teufelshund]

[ nods... ]

It was a little like that with my older brother, originally. He hasn't changed in a very long time now.

[ unfortunately. lucifer's just fucking sucked for centuries. ]

Anyway, I'm sorry to hear that.

[ but it feels like he got his first sample of her metaphorical earth's inner core... ]

[forefall]

Originally? Is it that hard to kill him?

[ she thinks that's a viable solution, if it can work. ]

... I can't say it's fine, but I'm here.

[ there isn't really much to be done. her metaphorical inner core is a mess. ]

[teufelshund]

Unfortunately, yes. We were immortal conceptual beings in the first place, so it isn't as simple as destroying one physical body... and if he were to completely destroy himself, he'd take the whole world along with him. Which he's been threatening to do for the past hundred years.

[ god it would be so much easier if he could just let him do that. ]

Being here hasn't been so bad for you after all, then?

[forefall]

He sounds so troublesome.

[ in the tone that you talk about some annoying pest. removed from the ane world, she can talk about him however she likes.

but also, she doesn't see anything wrong with the whole world going with him. whoops. ]

Hm? No, I still think Hell is shitty even if it's not all the eternal fire and damnation and torment all the old books used to talk about.
