Who: Absinthe + people he's invited, or +1s, to the heaven-opening party
Where: Hospital lobby
When: TBD for the day but an evening of some sort (THIS MAY GO ON LONG SO I'LL INSERT THIS INTO TIMELINE WHEN APPROPRIATE)

[ AT SOME POINT everyone who's been invited to the shady heaven-opening ritual will be getting a text; this includes but is not limited to Aradia, Doodle, Requiem, Maneater, Maki, Intensity (and his plus one), Eichi, and if someone's been invited or snuck along. Absinthe isn't picky!! ]

Absinthe: I have a time and a place ✝️
Absinthe: This evening, at the lobby of the hospital.
Absinthe: You needn't bring anything in particular
Absinthe: I hope to see you all there 😊

[Oh is this the rest of the BARiTONES party]

Are you coming along for the ride?

[Chooses to answer that question with another question.]

This is the plan you were talking around? Relying on a shady deal with a demon guy that someone else was the one to cut?

No, this one's all his. It's just my duty as a good information broker to be informed about everyone else's efforts.

Noble of you, Mr. Broker.

Don't forget to use the buddy system –– wouldn't wanna get left behind, right?

[Not that she's concerned about anyone here or anything!]

[Of course not.

Points at Eichi]

That your buddy?

I think Absinthe's got him.

Does that make you buddy-less?

[Laughs lightly.]

Mmhmm. It'll be crushingly lonely, but I'll survive somehow.

[Laughs lightly in return before digging into his own coat and offering a thin potion vial which is full of some strange liquid (one dose). The color identifies it by something made by an AlcheME!]

Then might I offer you a plan B?

[Well she's not gonna say no to free stuff, so she takes it.]

What's this?

Something that will help you get out of trouble. Out of sight, out of mind.

[AKA invisibility potion]

Come on, I'd never get in trouble. That's just not me!

Two questions, though: how long's it last and please tell me it affects your clothing, too.

[Pocketing the potion though.]

A couple hours at most. And yes. Otherwise it wouldn't be worth anything.

Good. Last question.

How do you get to "Hell"? There's gotta be something better than cliff-diving.

[Points to his giant robot dragon.

It's absolutely like cliff diving]

[.......ok]

Mind if I hitch a ride?

As long as you keep to your current level of sass, sure. You'll fit right in.

Glad you don't feel threatened by a clearly superior performance~

Of course. I'll be the brains and you can be the witty sidekick.

[Gestures to Talon]

Be sure to be nice to our guide.

[Stares at Talon. And has no idea who he is.]

You wish.

Are we even going in the same direction once we're down there. . .?

We're going after something very specific. You're free to wander at your own peril if you like.

But there's no way to get back up to Heaven once you've fallen into Hell. So I'd advise using the buddy system so none of us get left behind.

. . .

Ugh. Even though you'll probably be really insufferable if I say this, but you've got a point.

But I wanna follow up on what we talked about the other day.

[About Adora.]

Of course. Which is why I'm not objecting to you coming along. If this goes well, we'll secure our path to where we need to go.

I think we'll be lucky if we even pin down a direction to start in, but it's better than nothing.

[Taking out a piece of paper and writing something on it]

You really need to learn to read better, Red String.
