[ Hawke has mashed some buttons to get her device to work, and she's standing in the square with her arms crossed over her chest, looking irritated. ]

Alright, I'll bite. Clearly the little magical box is meant for talking to people, so: talk to me.

I should warn you, I really don't like unwelcome surprises. Like, oh, say...being kidnapped. That

Eating souls, huh? Must be one hell of a diet.

[riseto]

I wouldn't recommend it. It can give you indigestion.

[ironmanic]

Well, you're in luck. You just happened to walk into a buffet of fresh souls.

[riseto]

And just in time for dinner, too! I am in luck. So long as I disregard the entire kidnapping bit.

[ironmanic]

Coincidentally, it also happens to be a buffet of fellow kidnappees. Some people tell you to think of it as a vacation- others say it's hell in a handbasket.

[riseto]

The problem is vacations are usually voluntary, but I can't say I find the idea of hell at all appealing.

[ironmanic]

Even a hell full of stunningly attractive people?

[riseto]

Marginally more tolerable, but still hell.

[ironmanic]

I'm sure you'll adjust soon enough. You seem like a reasonable woman.

[riseto]

Making judgments of complete strangers? That's hardly polite.

[ironmanic]

They say to make a good first impression for a reason - it sticks.

[riseto]

I'll have to put that on my recommendations. "Eats souls - reasonably."

[ironmanic]

That's your foot through the door of opportunity into the underworld.

[riseto]

It seems it's my lot in life to be everyone's errand girl.

[ironmanic]

You should take care of that. Doesn't seem like too much fun unless you particularly like picking up the dry cleaning.

[riseto]

If only I ran errands that uneventful.

So besides being in a cleverly-named hell full of attractive people, what else do I need to know?
