[ The feed is set on video, and you all have one very unimpressed Dean to deal with. ]

Right, okay. Let me just throw this out there right away; am I dead? 'Cause really, that wasn't the deal. [ It came due too early if that really is the case. ] And not to be nit-picky, but boy, this wasn't what I was expecting. [ Where's the hellfire and

Black-eyed sons of... what?

[ Wow, okay. Definitely another thing he wasn't expecting. He figured demons didn't need to possess humans in Hell, but look at that. ]

Bitches. Now, sugar, you gonna talk or are we gonna do this the hard way?

[ Her brow furrows even more. ]

What does that mean? Bitches? [ She's not entirely sure she wants to move on from that just yet - he doesn't seem like he's from the Midlands, but you never know - but she shakes her head slightly. ] I'm fairly new here myself so I can't promise to answer all of your questions, but I'll do my best.

First, you're alive. Here. I can't say whether you are or not back home, however.

[saltsandburns]

[ What. ]

What're you, like the slow demon that got left behind? [ How can she not know? And the rest she just said? Yeah, none of that really makes sense. ] Why would you answer my questions? What happened to all the threats from before? Or is this some kinda damn trick, 'cause I'm tellin' you, it won't work. [ That probably makes even less sense to her...

He does feel pretty alive though, and...as far as he can remember, he didn't die back home. But what else can this place be, right? ]

video; helps to finish your tags there, jenny. 8|

[maythespirits]

Demon? What are you-- [ Aaaaaaaaaaaaand we're back to seriously confused. ] I'm not sure who you think I am but I have never seen you before in my life. And I would never threaten an innocent person.

video; lmao oh bb 8)

[saltsandburns]

[ He can already feel the headache coming. Like seriously, what the hell? ] Never thought you guys would resort to this kinda reserve psychology crap. [ Aaand he runs a hand over his face in frustration. ] So if this isn't...you know, where I am then? C'mon, gimme your best shot and we'll see how it goes. [ Demons always lie, but he might as well play along. ]

video; this is why we have the edit button.

[maythespirits]

[ She's getting a headache, too, but it's from all these words he keeps using that she doesn't know the meaning of. ] You're in a city called Anatole. I would send you the guide I was given, but I haven't quite figured out how to work this-- [ she taps the Forge ] --thing. I should warn you that the mist outside is dangerous, so if you're near it, you may want to find shelter.

video; mmmmhmmm such a glorious button indeed~

[saltsandburns]

Ana-what? [ It is a little weird that they even have these...things to begin with, but he's not gonna question that, not when there are so many other things to poke at.

He glances to the side, though there doesn't seem to be any mist around. ] That right? For all I know the mist is my ticket outta here and you're just sayin' otherwise 'cause you like me and wanna keep me 'round. [ See? Logic. Logic that comes with a smirk. ]

video; it isss~

[maythespirits]

Anatole.

[ She frowns at that. ] It is dangerous and I would advise staying away from it. [ She hasn't experienced it yet, but the people who have told her the same thing either believed it so strongly that she wasn't getting a right reading off them or they were telling her the truth. Either way, it's best to err on the side of caution in a city - or a world - you know nothing about. ] And believe me; if I knew of a way to send you home, I would do it in a heartbeat. Unfortunately I, and the other people here, have yet to figure it out.

[saltsandburns]

Whatever.

[ So...he might be warming up to the idea that this really isn't Hell. Sure, doesn't look like it for one, and if it was, she'd probably wanna throw him into this mist crap if it's as bad as she says. ]

You're kiddin'. C'mon, what is with you, of course there's a way out -- same way we got here, right?

video;

[maythespirits]

[ She shakes her head. ] From what I've been told, there's no way out. Not until the Door decides to send us home.

[saltsandburns]

The Door? [ A slight pause. ] Wait, lem'me guess. Like a portal of some kind, I bet -- just to make this all sound even more like some B-rated horror flick.

video;

[maythespirits]

I have absolutely no idea what a B-rated... flick is, but I suppose that's what you could call it. As far as I know, no one in the city knows how it works.

[saltsandburns]

[ Ugh. Awesome. ]

Okay, so no one knows shit, but has anyone actually tried to do anything about bein' stuck here? 'Cause it's starting to sound like you people've just rolled over.

video;

[maythespirits]

I would imagine someone has, but I have only been here a few days. I have yet to speak to everyone.

[saltsandburns]

Oh, right. The fresh meat excuse. [ He falls quiet for a bit. ]

...So, if you're not a demon, what exactly are you -- or who? Let's go with that.
