[ There’s a pale face with red eyes, topped with white hair staring blankly down at the tablet. He switches through a few functions, experimenting, then frowns, glancing around. He speaks almost absently. ]

Whatever dipshit thought taking the ‘Underground’ thing literally would be hilarious needs to work on their material.

[Your appearance is enough to sorta catch her attention.]

It's the 'Underworld' not 'Underground'.

[zombiebastard]

[ And who the hell are you supposed to be? Some guarded suspicion here. ]

The difference being?

[Video]

[petrifiedgirl]

[Whatever.]

You can't dig your way out.

[Video]

[zombiebastard]

Can't dig your way out of the Underground either. This cave's security is shit compared to there.

[How about a blonde with brown eyes staring right back?]

I...don't think that will work. Summoning the "boss" takes a lot more than that--or so I hear.

[zombiebastard]

[ A snort. Ugh, why do these people always have to make it difficult ]

So what's the point of kidnapping me if you're gonna go into hiding? Fucking bullshit...

[Video]

[twinspeech]

I didn't kidnap you. You'll have to blame either Hades or Hecate for that one.

[zombiebastard]

Didn't think you did. [ Not gloating and threatening enough ] Never heard of them. They not get the memo about the last guy who tried this?

[bladedstray]

You...

[That's all she has to say to you. She's pretty conflicted about how she should feel about you right now. The past you was kinda a jerk but the recent you.......is nicer.]

What's with everyone showing up all of a sudden...? [Naoto is not liking this at all. It's like The Devil's Sea all over again.]

[zombiebastard]

[ There's a moment of surprise here. Not a face he was expecting to here. Normally when these mob abductions happen it's only him. ]

You.

[ He stops walking for a second and eyes the screen suspiciously. His tone has an edge to it. ]

...What is this?

[bladedstray]

If you're talking about the device, it's called a "tablet". As for this place, it's the Underworld, hell, whatever people are calling it these days.

If you don't mind me asking, what do you know; what do you remember?

[zombiebastard]

[ He gives no fucks about the technology. Kind of wondering why there are so many people he doesn't know connected to it, but that's not what he's most concerned about right now. ]

You were there. [ Saying it like this is something obvious. He narrows his eyes, not sure where this is going ] That woman calling you her clone, then the glorified cops jumping in uninvited.

[bluesteelbitch]

[Well, isn't he interesting looking.]

Unfortunately, the bosses rarely make appearances. Unsurprisingly, neither of them like being called idiots.

[Video]

[zombiebastard]

[ Not as interesting looking as you. Here's an eyebrow quirked way high up ]

Then they can come correct me if it gets their panties in a twist.

[Video]

[bluesteelbitch]

They have better things to do with their time, truth be told.

[Ogling, are we?]

[Video]

[zombiebastard]

Like what?

[ his debilitating fear of anything female makes it not ogling. Just weirded out by the whole blue thing. ]

[video]

[morethanafour]

[Boy, this sounds familiar.]

Unfortunately it's not a facade. The only 'bosses' here are Hades and Hecate - though I haven't seen them myself. From what I hear they're supposedly 'gods'. I can't attest to that myself though.

[video]

[zombiebastard]

I've heard. [ He's about to just leave it at that, but curiosity strikes ] What makes people say so?

[video]

[morethanafour]

I think the most convincing evidence is that everything holds up to investigation. Besides the monsters and the fact that the area really does seem to have all the things the mythical Underworld would have, I guess some people have actually met Hecate and spoken with her.

The power she has...must seem very real.

Honestly, even though I've looked for it I haven't found any reason to believe this isn't the Underworld; but I like to keep an open mind anyway. If I end up having any reason to disbelieve it, I'm definitely going to mention it to everyone here.

[zombiebastard]

What power? [ He says it sort of short and terse, trying to get to the point ] What are they supposed to be capable of?
