Who: Intensity and whoever
Where: Around the hotel
When: Day 146 afternoon/evening

[One nerdlord is out and about the hotel and surrounding area, lugging around a metal briefcase as he is on the lookout for various people he needs to catch up with.

If you do manage to catch him while he is in transit, it is very obvious that he is missing his robot arm, has bandages covering one eye, and doesn't seem to be in too big of a hurry to deal with either right now.

He also seems grumpy, but hey - what else is new?

'Sup, Imeeji. How is your Day 146 going? Hopefully better than his.]

... Need help with that, chief?

[honestly, he's nosy enough to ask outright.

and he doesn't recall seeing him around]

Chief...

[Blinks]

Friend of Cardigan's?

No.

Too new for friends. Just know I haven't seen you around.

[and he climbed every balcony]

Intensity of Future is Now.

I'd offer to shake your hand, but I only have one to spare at the moment.

[And it's currently holding a metal briefcase]

Yeah, I figured. Both on the team and the, you know, handshake.

Jay.

Bad End.

You just get back?

Got back this morning. The red eye.

Missed my flight.

I didn't realize there were folks that didn't get on the train with the rest of us.

Tell me... was the extra time worth it?

Mileage may vary.

...

Did they really dump you off here just now? What amazing timing.

[he sees that swerve.]

Yeah, everyone got to see my cute pajamas.

Really set the tone for me.

You get the run-down then?

Or do I need to give you a few pointers?

Depends on the pointers you're gonna give.

Is it gonna be the "managing your expectations in hell" type of deal?

Oh no.

More like Hell mechanics.

[Swings the briefcase lightly in the direction of the elevator]

Shall we?

Sure.

I've got time.

[time to get into an elevator with a one armed man carrying a briefcase!]

[Surely this is safe.

Hitting Bad End's floor with the back of his hand and up they go]

Someone you want to see there?

[he wasn't sure what he expected, but. can't hurt to check.]

This is part of the mechanics talk.

If you don't want your dorm, we can go to mine.

I don't care which we go to.

Your team might not be that happy to see me again. Depends on who's there.

Oh? And why would that be?

I climbed the balconies yesterday.

It's that now a punishable offense. I thought my unit would be delighted by something like that.

[why are teams so weird.]

It probably depends on who's there.

[hey it's his tetanus central living quarters. nice.]

I sincerely doubt that.

[Listen, FiN is just like this.

And Intensity takes a seat on one of the awful cinderblock seats as if he owns the place. Also without asking. What a good guest he is]

So.

How much do you know about the production?

Honestly, not much. I'm in the fact finding stage of my journey here.

Sorry, my "idol life" or whatever the hell it is.

This production is being recorded in Hell. Specifically it's a contest between two princes - the Prince of Vengeance and the Prince of the Lies. The latter roleplays Heaven to give it that whole angels and demons dynamic.

There are multiple ways off the show - some unpleasant. You can graduate and become a demon of Vengeance, being granted a wish. Or you can take "Heaven's blessing" and return to your home. Even if you're dead there. Other methods include fading into an unrecognizable gray presence with no identity - the Damned. Or by being transferred to another show.

So it's generally in your best interest to do your best song and dance so the last two options don't happen to you.

Transferred to another show means... what, exactly?
