LIAR HELL OR BUST

[iamverybadass]

Who: More Idols
Where: Liar Hell
When: Tuesday Morning

[ What's everyone up to this morning? Still stuck in Hell? Busy doing crimes? Maybe, like some people, you hopped on a train from Vengeance Hell to get over here! Hope you didn't have to give up anything too precious for that.

In any case, however you've ended up here there's still plenty to do. Shopping, restaurants, movie theaters, maybe you can even find a tour bus to make the rounds of some of the other shows being filmed here! ]

No, I've already told you everything I learned.

—Although, you will need to know who to speak with first when you cross over. Primrose is in charge of the rooftop thing, but Amaranth is also trying to organize people. She may be worth speaking with as well.

[rollplayinghouse]

[a slight wince]

...Alright. I'm not on great terms with either of them at the moment, but I also don't think either of them would let that get in the way of working together on something important. And maybe it's actually better if they don't trust me too much... then they'll question and verify things.

[iamverybadass]

If they have any sense at all, they'll get over it while we're stuck here. I believe Amaranth will be reasonable about it.

[rollplayinghouse]

Yeah, I don't think she'd be irrational.

[iamverybadass]

I'm less familiar with Primrose, but Silver trusts her... I think between the three of you, you'll be able to work it out.

[rollplayinghouse]

I was actually... pretty close with Primrose for a long time, we just had a couple of arguments, and we haven't talked much lately. I'm sure it will be fine when it comes to this.

[iamverybadass]

It will be. This is too important.

[rollplayinghouse]

Yeah.

So... I'll finish up gathering what I can over here, and then head over later today or tomorrow, probably.

...I should probably try not to go alone, if you find anyone else interested. A was saying people are suffering mental effects... like going into a fugue state and being brought out of it by interacting with people.

[iamverybadass]

—What? He didn't mention that to me! Is it happening to everyone, or just a few people?

[rollplayinghouse]

He said it happened to him on the bus, and also to L, apparently. I don't know if it's been happening since.

[iamverybadass]

Ugh... I'll talk to B about it then. He should know something.

[rollplayinghouse]

...B's trying not to stress too much, I think. Which is good for him.

[iamverybadass]

[ ...sighs and rubs at the bridge of his nose ]

He does deserve it. ...I'll talk to A later then.

[rollplayinghouse]

Mm. I'll let you know if I learn anything else about it... in the meantime, maybe be a little careful.

[iamverybadass]

Trust me, I have no interest in being brainwashed or wiped or—whatever other bizarre effect they have waiting in the wings.

[rollplayinghouse]

...To me, that one seems most like... an effect of Hell itself. Losing yourself, becoming like the Damned.

But you should be worried about brainwashing too. It sounds demons here can have the power to make people believe things are true.

[iamverybadass]

They can literally cause things to happen with curses too. Aries lost his tongue that way once.

[rollplayinghouse]

Great.

[sighs]

...At least all our abilities still work here too. With backup, we're not completely outmatched.

[iamverybadass]

As long as it's only one or two that we're dealing with. More would be a challenge for most of us.

[rollplayinghouse]

Yeah. And obviously the bosses are still too much.

[iamverybadass]

Clearly. It's going to take a lot of patience and effort before we have a chance of dealing with either of them.

[rollplayinghouse]

And preparation.

...One thing Exael did tell me was that Asshole's territory would probably collapse without him there. He's really powerful, and doesn't have enough other supporters, or something like that.

Which seems bad if anyone we care about is there at the time.

[iamverybadass]

...What about all the other people there? All of the Damned? Even if there aren't any idols...that's bad for anyone.

[rollplayinghouse]

...Are you planning on saving every single soul in Hell?

[iamverybadass]

...The people in Vengeance don't care about our show. They don't keep it running. Some of them are no different than us—trying to escape the roles that The Liar's entertainment and domain force them into.

They don't deserve to die just because they have a monstrous ruler.
