"I can't believe you're convincing me to do this again, that deal of yours better be worth it, dude. Also you promised you would let me beat you up once we finished, and I'm keeping you to your word, alright?"
"..."
"No."
"You don't know what it's like to have the soul of a bird inside you dude, either I'm magically spawning feathers inside my throat or they're just normally growing in there and I don't know which is worse. You owe me. Fuck you."
"You're my assistant, you're wearing the tutu and distracting the audience while I put the rabbit on the hat."

"In this case," Sinister points at the crack in space. "This is the hat."
"I-"
Wheezing and coughing and, oh god, that's not a single feather that's a whole ass bunch of them, this really isn't normal, is it
"Let's just get in the hole. Please."

"Hope this time you get something more interesting put inside you this time. Perhaps a meg would be more amusing." Sinister pushes Enforcer onto the blue crack and soon after, taking one or two seconds, jump right in.
The duo fall into.....

....a hell of BLUE.

Purrpurr grabs the two, confused why they all have to return to this horrible place.

"Purrrrrrpuurrrr?"

Trust me, H-mon was confused too. And screaming. The fall does that to you.
Fortuna rolls a 20 sided die. A 6 is rolled.

Purrpurr lands on an outcropping in BLUE. With a pet that could actually fly with all the weight, the duo could now explore the landscape instead of fall to hell below.
They were not alone though.

"KKKKKKZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ------- ?@!!?!?!?@?@"
The ?!?!?!?!?! in the world sprinted towards them.


"y-YOU'RE TELLING ME THERE WAS SOLID GROUND WE COULD HAVE LANDED ON LAST TIME, AND TH-THA..."
"Oh fuck the gods that thing's coming right for us, isn't it?"

"Go ahead. Give it a hug." Giving a gentle push onto H-monster back, Sinister gets behind Warning in case the beast desired his own being.

The 11111111111111111111111111111111 grabs H-monster!

The 1111111111111111 rolls a 20 sided die. An 11 is rolled.

Kzzzzzzzzuuzzzzzzzzzz?!?!?!!?!

It begins to rattle him around, as if confused about his shape. It's not hostile, at least, it doesn't seem to be.

"Cute. You found a new friend."
H-mon begins to scream.

The creature is excited! It attempts to stuff H-monster into it!


The creature rolls a 20 sided die. A 7 is rolled.

But it fails!

"H-HEY? DO, DO, YOUR THING! BUT AT THAT GUY, BEHIND, ME!! HE LIKES GETTING THE STUFFING SHAKEN OUT OF HIM!!! HE LIKES IT MORE THAN I DO, DUDE!"

As H-monster wastes his time begging, the 1111/????111 tries again!

The 1111/????111 rolls a 20 sided die. A 14 is rolled.

H-monster is put into the creature!

"I somehow doubt that was intended of me, per se. Dear imbecile, you really could not have bothered to do anything? Not even raise one of your god loved legs? You know, I really do quite hate you."

H-monster takes a moment to chew his tail before joining Sinister.
Purrpurr waits for orders, unsure if to keep traveling, or to head down to the depths.

Sinister nods ordering the white bird to keep traveling and then looks at the tentider. "Stop being dead weight, will you? Heard you're as good as a tracking dog can be, so while we're traveling, help us find the only other fucking person in this hellhole."

The tentider clicks as it tries to find anything interesting in the BLUE.

The tentider rolls a 20 sided die with a modifier of +5. A 10 is rolled.

It gets lost looking into the BLUE. It finds nothing of value, other than another platform to land on.

Sinister hops on top of Purrpurr with the rest of the group. They're going there, though... It might take a while to find the Devil of Blue.
H-mon (?) hops on Purrpurr alongside Sinister, all the while asking Sinister if he ever considered, well, just looking harder, and, not being daft, because this really isn't working out.
H-Mon begins thinking about how cool it would be to eat dirt.

No longer a coward, H-mon deeply considers turning Sinister into a worthless god, just for a laugh.
Also dirt.
It would be cool to eat dirt.


Purrpurr knows how to get to the Blue Devil. The way is simple.

Down.

And so they all go. Lower

And Lower

And Lower


Into the BLUE.

They're back in that sterile room. No, that prison.

The false O-11 taps happily on the computer he is connected to.

He pretends to not notice. He thinks it's rude. But there was no mistaking it. He knew both party were there.

"Didn't even buy roses for us, huh? Liked the show?"
"Ah, right, this fellow. Somehow still better company than the failure in a cape. We did your deed, deedman."
"Y-you....Did AMAZING, BOYS!"
"Oh O-11's life is so dreadfully ruined! It's all I could have ever wanted."
"Well, I did wish for a little more, but O-11's husband got in the way. =P"

"I did amazing, actually. Edgy over here was only trying to get a capsule out of some machine in the boonies. I had to stretch him out to the cameras. I do suppose there's an argument to be made for him bringing up the whole dragon thing, however."
"You're going to nitpick? What's next? Going to ask me to push the dastardly husband-lizard in front of a moving truck?"
"Gave what you wanted, came in to get what I want."
"Alas, we did only come for the reward. He's right."
"I wasn't nitpicking. Gosh! =P"
"I think you did a fantastic job. Oh it would have been perfect. The notail union would have collapsed."
"It is no fault of your own that a little green man got in the way."
"Who?"
"Payment will be yours. =P"
"A whole society would have collapsed because of a single dude? if I may sate my curiosity on what the fuck you're talking about."
"Oh it's simple, really. =P"
The Blue Devil gets up, and as he does, his body melts, as if unable to hold itself in movement.

"O-11 is the oldest of the O-classes. He has....so many jobs he holds. He's an idiot, but a smart one that that. If he falls, then the foundation gets an itty bitty hole."
"And the Notail Union is going to fight over that hole, until it gets bigger and bigger, like an infection."
"Would the Notail Union fall? Or would it pick itself back up? I don't quite know, but I want to see them struggle for a change! I know, quite horrible for me to wish, but I don't like em very much. =P"
"Now, less about me, more about your reward. =P"
"Much appreciated. Been yearning to listen more about it for a while."

The eyes of the beast appear. Once more it is without features. It fights back tears as it approaches.

"Snifff.. hhhoooooo mmmm mmmmmm mmm."

"Nothing in this HELL has a soul. You brought one for it, right? =P"
"First, I want to ask something about it."

H-mon thinks about glass mugs for a hot second. Hm. "Aside from that, the thing seems to be fighting back tears! I realize you're not the type of person to scam, but it takes room temperature IQ to see that this might not be the best deal for us. Not only did we, in your own words, do a job beyond what you imagined capable of us, each time we have come here we have lost something of ours in return. Say we ask you to sweeten the deal as a reward, would you be capable of doing that?"
"Don't ask for a deal sweetener from someone like him."
"Next thing I was gonna ask was what he would give us if we offered to free him, truth be told."
"If you wanted a deal sweetener, you should have asked before. Your loss! =P"
"Unlike you, I don't exactly have much left to lose. But oh well, he's right, if only you had murdered me before this, you freak."
"You're a smart fellow, I am too. We both know this thing is great. Just....lacking a form. This big gal is just a god who never formed correctly. She never was. A beast of terrifying proportions took her life before she was born. Dreadful! =P"
"But oh well!!!! Sometimes people don't get to be born into the life they wanted. Else I'd be sitting with silver spoon in my mouth instead of in a prison! HA! =P"
"Oh, that's why she's a crybaby."
"She reminds me of you, Harold! Ha!"
"She is one hell of a cry baby, but don't worry, once she has a soul she'll forget about what she could have been and focus on what she becomes. =P"
H-mon considers glass mugs harder! Harder! Harder!!!! Glass mugs!!!
"Ha. Ha."
H-mon "laughs" at Sinister's comment, not even bothering to quip back.

Shoving the Tentider a bit forward so she may take it's soul, Sinister glances. "Let's see what we get out of this, then?"
"Any vessel's better than none, realistically. He skimped out on what we'll use, but it should still be something interesting, let us see, shall we?"

The tentider is grabbed, and consumed.

The beast gains shape.

"Maybe it was best to not give a crying creature more eyes, but oh well, it's still good. =P"
"..."
"If I ever get the opportunity, I will get you out."
"Him? Get him? Out? The devil, you mean."
"That's so kind of you. I didn't deserve to be put in here. I'm no harm to anyone. =P"
"But, because they put me here. I suppose I AM a harm to the Notail Union. =P"
"Would give the journalists something to write about, don't you think, Harold?"
For the first while in what seems like ages, H-mon smiles.
"I suppose it isn't the worst idea in the world. Journalists do need some meat to feed on. I'd sooner be talking "rewards" and "guarantees" for such a thing, though."
"He could have been lying between his teeth, but alas. The notail union collapsing or not is not my problem."
"Neither is it mine. What is our problem however, is that we have no guarantee he would not keep us out of the issue."
"Ah. It is more of a odd thought that crossed my head! The chance of me out of all people actually going through it is rare, your imbecile! But if i ever find myself on O-11 house, though..."
"I don't lie! It's not my sort of thing. But I do want to offer you these."
The BLUE DEVIL holds out 3 tickets.
"Ha. Now there's a joke. Make it four and I'll consider it. We aren't about to destroy what is arguably one of the biggest empires in modern times for something that measly. You told us to ask you to sweeten the deal before accepting anything, did you not? I'll be taking your advice to heart."
"It says "TICKET TO BLUE HELL!" Ain't that fancy. Use one of these and you can get here without the ritual. I was going to give them to you to offer to people you believe......might dislike the Notail Union, just a bit. =P"

Sinister takes two, and gives one to H-monster. "They're not worth much to people other than you and me."
"No need to beg for more Harold, like the dog you are! Ha!"
"Oh don't worry, you'll find people in life who hate the Notail Union ever so much. =P"

"Is it so wrong to ask for an even split? I thought it was quite a normal thing to think."
H-mon thinks about normal thoughts to think, concludes that the word "blue" sounds quite scrumptious.
"In fact you might be able to sell a ticket for good money. Think about how much you can get, selling the chance to bring the Union to its knees. =P"
"Considering I'm the only one able to go to Blue Hell currently, that's quite the nice idea..."
"Sell. Ha! Sell! Are you listening to yourself? These are much more valuable than money."
"Alas, we got our fair share of discussion for today and for the foreseeable future. Do you have any question for our host, you filthy worm?"
"Before we go, what are your thoughts on... Ownership, dear Host of Blue. Imprisonment, I would rather say. A bit of a weird question, but I need to make up my mind on something."
"You know, your mind is going to rot soon after you leave. Give it a month or two and you'll regress into an animal like state. I do think how you stole that soul was clever you little monster, but pretending you're a person will make your life feel empty. I can't wait to see you return to frolicking in fields and licking your own fur clean. =P"
"Ha! Here I thought you'd sympathize? You think I care about feeling empty? I've been empty my whole goddamn life! Ha! Oh, good one! Good one! Frolicking in the fields you say! Licking my own fur clean! Ha!"
"I'll have you know, I have never wanted anything more."
He was trying to hold them in, but one slips out, his mind was drowning in Nyas recently, it seemed.
"We're done here. Let's leave, shall we? Nya?"
"Frolicking, huh."

"Or rather, dear Host of Blue, already spoiled the surprise! What's the use for pretenses now!"
H-mon makes Echidna give Sinister Obsessed!
"Huh??? =P"
"What."
"Dear, daft, stupid, hollow, Sinister. You were hired to be a bodyguard were you not? You're kind of fucking horrible at your job, aren't you? If I'm right, Mother got you here. She's the reason you kept pestering him."
"I hope you realize that you could have prevented this."
"That you could have become something other than a scapegoat!"
"Don't you see? If I disappear, here, now, who will they blame?"
"Who will take the heat, dear Sinister? Can you imagine? An entire corporation worth billions after you, after you failed to protect their image figure?"
"Oh, that's scary!"
H-mon slaps the paralyzed Sinister with his tail, right across the face!
"Don't you understand? All he ever wanted was freedom. He didn't want to own a corporation he just wanted to fucking, to fucking sew socks! He was a simpleton! I'm so lucky that our interests coincided!"
"Prison sucks, I agree. =P"
"..."
"I will allow you, to escape, when we're out of the Blue Hell."
"That's the only charity I will give it to you. I don't like you."
"Just being kind this one time, yes, yes..."
