[In a sleepy voice:] Ngh… Yasha…?

[Some rustling can be heard]

Where---? Kujaku? Ryuu-chan! Souma! YASHA!

Where is this? This… isn't the Ice Fortress, is it? It doesn't look anything like--- What's that clicking sound? Stop it, whoever's doing it! If you're trying to cast a spell on Ashura or something with it it's not

Oh, WTFever e_ea;;; ♥

Hey, calm down! Death threats aren't gonna get you out of here.

And that's not a spell: the ticking you hear's just the Clock.

Hello

[antiheaven]

Ashura doesn't care! At least you'll know what'll happen if you try to hurt Ashura!

Clock?

Hi hi~

[soulofocean]

Good that you got someone to look after you like that. But I doubt they could do anything against the stuff that goes on at this place, even if they were here.

The whole place's connected to a huge Clock that ticks Underground. You're in the City, like Akiha told you.

[antiheaven]

He could! You'll see!

What city? What's a clock?? Just let Ashura go already!

[soulofocean]

It's just called that! "The City". lame, huh?

And sorry to say but there's no way to get out that we've found. YET. At least not by one's own means.

[antiheaven]

You're trapped here, too? Why? Don't you even know what deities took us here?

[soulofocean]

We all are. Those freaky deities thought it funny to gather people from different worlds and put them here for their own amusement. They show their face from time to time to taunt us, but that's it.

They mostly act through curses.

[antiheaven]

[The "other worlds" remark flies over his head for now]

What deities? How many??

[soulofocean]

They just call themselves THAT. I'm not sure what you mean by "what deities", but they're twisted, evil and infuriating. I got no idea but I'm guessing around seven or six. Does that make a difference?

[antiheaven]

If they're really only that many, why haven't you broken free yet? There're lots of people here!

[soulofocean]

You don't understand. Even GODS are trapped in this place against their will! And those with magic and special abilities have their powers watered down so they can't do much with them.

That's not to say we're not TRYING.

[antiheaven]

What did you do to make them want to kidnap you?

[soulofocean]

Who knows. Maybe they just pick those they think will be the most amusing. What do you think YOU did?

Maybe they target people with special abilities, but everything seems pretty random.

[antiheaven]

Ashura thought it was Taishakuten's men behind it... or the mazoku. You're really sure it's someone else?

[soulofocean]

Taisha--- who?? Uh. No: unless any of those guys are here too I'm pretty sure they got nothing to do with this! It's just the deities' dirty work.

Hey. You should really look into getting a place to stay.

Ashura gets that already! No one's telling Ashura what gods they are.
