♎ 01 || Video.

[wasinnocent]

[A woman comes on the screen, she's wearing some kind of weird glowing suit, and sitting on top of a roof. She looks oddly relaxed considering the fact that she only got here about an hour ago.]

This place looks like a blast from the past, literally. Complete with a mythical ferryman of the dead, impressive attention to detail. [She tilts her

[He's totally pimping the wino beard, Charis. Well, as much as Cole pimps anything, anyway.]

...Charis. Hey. [Weird. Pris says she's been here alone (that is to say without any of the other Wildcats) and then suddenly there's two more of us in two days.] This place is for real. It's the Underworld.

[wasinnocent]

[Blink. Blink. Then a look of semi-disgust.]

You know, I think I changed my mind, maybe I prefer you in the mask.

[video]

[griftering]

[...ouch.]

It's great to see you too, Charis. How's things?

[video]

[wasinnocent]

[Head tilt.]

Great, aside from the skeleton that dropped me off in a replica of ancient Greece. Oh, and the fact that a guy with a wino beard keeps calling me by my actual name.

[As soon as the screen flicks on it shows Zevran, an eyebrow raised as he looks over the glowing suit. That is certainly... different.]

You have found yourself in the Underworld, my friend. Where we live through various tortures, both physical and mental, all for the benefit of some gods.

Hm. Now that I think about it, it is much like life, yes?

video;

[wasinnocent]

Actually, yeah, sounds like just another day in my life. Minus the gods part, for the most part.

[suaveleather]

[He shrugs.]

They only appear from time to time to bother us. Mostly things happen at random in this place.

[Another look at the suit.]

At least they bring the most beautiful women here. May I ask your name, my new friend?

[wasinnocent]

[She notices the interest in the suit.] Something you find interesting?

[A beat.] Charis. Or Nemesis, depending on who you are.

[tobestronger]

[That suit is weird. Oh, wait. she asked questions.]

Uh, this is the Underworld, just like in Greek mythology. Hecate brought us here to help her distract Hades from destroying all of existence. [Oh, right.] I'm Akihiko Sanada.

Video;

[wasinnocent]

Hecate...have you actually met her? Seen her? Anything like that?

Video;

[tobestronger]

Yeah, a couple of times.

Video;

[wasinnocent]

Huh. There aren't sword wielding female warriors here with serious sticks up their asses, are there?

[Video]

[turnedroman]

When is - a little fuzzy. Where, who and what are, in order, the actual Greek Underworld, the gods Hecate and Hades depending on whether or not you're alive, and a deity-level chess game.

[Video]

[wasinnocent]

[She might usually comment on everything, but her focus falls to Hecate's name.] Did you just say Hecate?

[Video]

[turnedroman]

I did, yeah. Why, are you familiar? [He - actually asks that like a serious question.]

[Video]

[wasinnocent]

Not personally, but you could say she's important to people I know.

[playsforkeeps]

[Hecate sure knows how to pick 'em, and Remy's not complaining.]

You get de story yet, mon chere?

Video;

[wasinnocent]

Some. I wouldn't pass on another person's explanation.

Video;

[playsforkeeps]

Maybe we get mo' familiar first, nes pas? De name is Gambit. What's yo's?

Video;

[wasinnocent]

Charis.
