[resonantblue]

What were you looking for?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Technology to hop dimensions.

[resonantblue]

For what reason?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I have reason to believe that this area co-exists on top of Pythia's realm.

[resonantblue]

Who is... Pythia?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Prince of Lies. Exael's boss. "Heaven" in the heaven and hell scenario.

[resonantblue]

I may need to review the notes you provided me... this scheme is grand.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

As Shine has let me know, the door to my lab is always open provided you have the right tools at your disposal.

[resonantblue]

Silence possesses the powers to do so, if that is what you meant. Respecting your space was always important to me, too.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

If it's arming yourself with knowledge, I don't give a shit if my space is respected.

Just don't touch any of my in-progress inventions.

[resonantblue]

[nts ask him about the inventions. later.]

Back on track. What makes you sure of your theory about Pythia's realm and this one?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

When I first met Exael, she sent me a map. I took the subway - before the subway was even running. And when I emerged from underground, I was in Tokyo Delphi. Delphi is Pythias realm.

[He opens his phone and shows Silence the attachment and it is indeed a map from the hospital to the nearest subway station.

He'll also show Silence the following photos]

[resonantblue]

[taking it all in, looking over the map and studying the photos. she's quiet for a moment.]

And you no longer have the means of traveling there, so you want to hop dimensions...? I am distracted. This place is not what I expected.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

No. We entered Delphi through her power and at her behest.

Since then, she has removed a meeting with her from the point shop.

. . .

What were you expecting? It's not so different from here.

[resonantblue]

Exael once had the opportunity available in the point shop—? I thought these producers were like untouchable gods who put us through "games" and looked down at us from a great distance. They are something else.

Hmph.

What Silence expected is not as important as that.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Exael is not a producer - she is a host. We didn't get to meet with Asmodeus or Pythia until much later and then never at our request.

[resonantblue]

[this face]

Silence will get back to you on this when she's studied your notes closely. This entire set up is so confusing that she did not notice a difference between roles...

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

The entire set-up is a mess. That's why I asked Exael for an org chart. ... Which she refused by the way.

Let me break it down for you simply. The Princes of Hell are the producers - full demons. You can find references to them in most demonology books.

They each have their own staff and employ hosts that run the games. Lackeys, at worst. Minions with their own agendas at best. Those are the ones you see at the games.

[resonantblue]

I am reassured... in a way.

That explains why the ones responsible for the games have so much presence--because they are useless in the scheme of it all.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

It is a hierarchy of power. Just like anything else.

Which is also why the hosts are limited in their usefulness.

[resonantblue]

[hmm, idly taps her chin]

Has anyone tried attacking one of the hosts?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Yes. Said person managed to run before he got his ass kicked.

They've all been given the powers of their relative factions.

[resonantblue]

So it is impossible to cause them harm or abduct them. Noted.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Not impossible. Nothing is impossible.

It just has to be well thought out.

[resonantblue]

...note retracted.

Abducting one would be a worthwhile endeavor...
