Frank Castle

The old man looked over to Orbeck. He hadn't ever spoken to the strangely clad man, and had pretty much filed him away as one of the people that verbally dog-piled Ellie after she shot at Time Baby. "The plan isn't to force his hand. It's to let him know we're looking for him, so that he'll find us. Again, make it seem like his idea." He nodded slightly in Blitzo's direction. "He doesn't matter. He's dead because he had it coming, and we didn't need him. Just a corpse now." As Moxxie and Millie rushed out, Frank's head turned to follow them. "They are the important ones. From what I've gathered about the target, he's powerful Maybe too powerful for us to fight. So we need to convince him to help us somehow. Can't do that if we don't know where he is."

With that, Frank set out. He stopped briefly when faced with Kendall, but didn't let any surprise show on his face if there was any to be had. Enjoying the show. Noted. Anything that took genuine enjoyment from a killing like that could be trouble. Whatever this creature was, it needed to be watched closely. Wordlessly, he stepped past it and listened to Ellie as she spoke. She was more present, but she still definitely wasn't all the way there just yet. The girl was saying the words - that he deserved to die, that that was necessary - but she certainly didn't sound convinced of them. Frank didn't immediately respond as he walked on. A simple "Yes, he did," probably wouldn't really help at all. Arguing for why he did would just deepen the confusion. It also just wasn't something Frank cared to do often anyways. To him, it seemed obvious why the demon deserved to die.

The walk through the lobby was quiet. It seemed their security was genuinely that oblivious, or really just didn't care. The girl behind the counter did nothing to stop them, staring at her phone in enthralled silence. Frank paused at exit, his hand visibly hovering near the holster at his waist. The hesitation wasn't whether to kill her, it was whether not to. She was a demon, but there was no footage of her in the advertisement. Given her behavior here, she may have had no part in the killings at all, preferring to laze about while the others did the work. It was a stretch, but it cast enough doubt on her guilt that Frank didn't just shoot her then and there. It took him a second to tear his eyes away, but he walked out into the street. Finally, he answered Ellie. "You didn't kill him. I did." He didn't elaborate, but the implication was there. It's not on you. It's on me, and I couldn't care less about it. No way to know how that would go over. Maybe it would be reassuring, maybe it would be frightening, or maybe it would make absolutely no difference. It was about all Frank had to offer on the topic, regardless.

Meanwhile, the ghost was confronting Ellie about it, for some reason, despite her not ultimately being able to kill the demon. "I'm the one that shot him. If you've got a problem, take it up with me, kid. Stop with the lectures. She's in shock," Frank said, his scowl setting on Lillith. "As long as people like that are in the way, I'm not slowing anything down. Get used to it." Or stop me, if you can, The old man thought, but didn't say. He had already had far more leeway here than most groups gave him, even Ross's Thunderbolts. Not a huge surprise, Jason didn't seem all that far off from him, but also it just seemed that most of the people here were willing to take it. Not all, but most. Mimaki had certainly stopped him from killing Kratos, and Lazarus had tried using reason. He was certainly wondering when the leash would tighten, if ever.

As he spoke to the pair, Frank began scanning their surroundings to find out where to go next. The only truly notable location in the area was a casino. It more or less fit the bill for what he had in mind. At least, as before, it would have been a good place to start if they were hunting a mob boss. Walking on, he stepped into the building. The standard barrage of senses washed over him. The music, the gaudy furniture and carpet, the smell of alcohol, the sound of people laughing and cursing as chips moved around the table. This really felt like he was back home, minus the fact that virtually none of the patrons appeared to be human, save their companions that were already present. The old man didn't immediately engage, stepping over to the welcome desk to wait and see if anyone would approach while he assessed the room. After a few seconds, he waved down a member of the staff. "Looking for someone. Name Alastor mean anything to you? Might know him as the Radio Demon. When's the last time you saw him here, if ever?" Obviously, from the way the I.M.P. behaved, they would know who he was talking about. It was more about drawing out a reaction than gathering information.

Gretar​

Gretar didn’t hear the commotion going on behind him as he opened the door, he found a strange sight here with the individuals inside, but what he didn’t expect.... or well, haven’t thought of considering he was on a sight seeing tour, was Ruby.... the little sister of Yang, who sped over to their sister and hugged them. The sight made Gretar’s outside poster falter, as the memories began to form within his mind, old and new, of both tragedy and comedy..... he, couldn’t think of one singular memory.

The waves of his consciousness kept pouring memories into his head..... remembering the hardships his friends gone through when out on the field fighting for not only victory.... but their lives as well.... and the bond he has created with them, even having a blood-brother once.... until.... he arrived. But as quickly as those thoughts arrived, he quickly snapped out of it, not wanting to bring back memories about him, as Gretar looked at the people that was just staring at the scene, and told them “Uh..... don’t mind what’s going on over there.... a reunion is going on and... it’s best not to bother them right now. Also, sorry if we are bothering you guys with something important here, my friends and I have some questions to ask about here....” as he waited, took a deep breath he didn’t know he needed, and breathed out, trying to make sure he controlled himself and doesn’t break down into a crumbling wreck from his past memories.

Tardif the Bounty Hunter:

HP: 52/52
Stress: 0/100​

After saying what I needed to say, the plant lady went ahead and began ringing the door bell for the hotel, before someone opened the door, along with more figures arriving here, and is that Angel Dust here....? I thought to myself, watching him bring some more strange looking people as well, probably the rest of their group. But as soon as the door opened, a younger black haired person within came running out and hugged the yellow haired person who came much more recently.... and just like that, a reunion between different people I was just seeing for the first time has started..... and I watched, whatever thoughts were going on inside my head were stopped as I saw the reunion, reminding me that, even as fearless, emotionless, or powerful we may be, we must remember that we are still human.... our capacity to feel emotions both being a blessing, and a curse..... that moments like this should forever be cherished, especially since the younger one may have been dead much longer than the others.

It reminded me, of the friends I managed to make back at the Estate.... but as much as I would like to remember, I have seen many people sent with me on missions die left to right, and I began feeling a sense of sadness.... but not wanting to stress my mind... I began speaking about different topics, especially who is the leader of the group, as I said out loud, trying my best to not interrupt the reunion going on near me “Sorry for..... speaking during this moment, but where is the leader of your group.... since I am planning on joining you on your quest to claim the greatest bounty in the multiverse.... known as ‘Ganon’ ..... and I will try my best to aid your group in your quest.... after all, I not only have to claim his bounty.... but protect the innocents that are in danger in the multiverse.....” as I looked around at the group that has formed around me( wanting to help them.

“If there is an impromptu leader, it would be Jason Todd - you will know him immediately. He’s the guys with the guns and red helmet, bat symbol on his chest.” Supergirl said, looking at Yang and Ruby. Remembering Yang’s glare some time ago after fighting the Shareholders.

Divider Set #02 by NorasFed, edited by me​

Sage had let out a conflicted 'ehhh' and looked away when Leo had said that the casino was as good as any location, clearly disagreeing with the statement. Sure, he didn't go as far as to say exactly why, but the distaste was there for everyone to see. Of course, a casino was fine, if you liked endlessly losing money to a bunch of rigged games, that is. Still, this was Hell, so as most as he'd like to find a genuine normal nice place, it would be the same as searching for a needle inside a haystack... or however that expression went. Practically impossible.

But, between the bar and the casino, this did seem like the lesser of the evils.

At least the last member he had picked was incredibly cheerful and heartwarming! Really, it was hard not to have a smile in his face whenever Yoshi spoke! What a pure, innocent Soul... He was like a little child. Ohhhh, maybe he was a baby Dragon??

" 'Yoshisaurus'? ", the pyromancer had parroted in confusion, scratching at this cheek with awkwardness, "Well, I uhhh... I really don't know what that means? Or what a dinosaur even is, buuuut I guess I wasn't all wrong sooo, n-nice?", there was a rather long and uncomfortable pause, "Ooookay... Nice to meet you, Yoshi, I'm Sage! Aaand that's it, because if I start rambling we're gonna waste way too much time.", he had laughed to himself softly, totally not a lie though! He could reeeally ramble.

It seemed that despite all of that talk of duos or trios, all of the remaining people were headed for the casino anyways. Not really a problem in the young man's mind, just something to take note of. He had watched as Fuma closed all the passages into the other locations and left only the one to their destination open. For a moment, he had just been taken by the swirling Magical vortex, almost as if in a trance as he admired it in awe. Teleportation was achievable with Arrays, though the idea was to destroy and re-build an object, --which was a bit of a scary prospect with people--, but straight connecting locations like this? Like, like making a door that linked two different points in a space? Even if it wasn't a completely new concept to absorb, seeing it be done live had been an experience!

He had gestured for Leo to go through the portal before him, but then almost missed his cue to do the same while distracted with the gateway itself. Oops, that had been a close one! And here they were! The casino... The group had arrived just in time to hear the end of a conversation with what looked like a big round ghost? --ghost and not projection this time, right? Like Lilith?-- A round ghost and some other members of their party. Sage was pleasantly surprised to see Killua in-between them, given that he still wanted to chat with the kid about what had happened during Globnar. The other two were Akari and the white-haired lady that he had rescued earlier, the one that spoke a bit funny. An overall nice group to run into and not one that he thought matched the location, to be honest.

"Heeey~ Small place, isn't it?", the Descendant had stepped towards the trio with a wave, it certainly helped that they were all people that he already kind of knew, "And I've had recent-ish interactions with all of you too, what a coincidence!", he let out cheerfully, though maybe he should have thought better before saying that line, oh well, "By the way, is it pronounced AKAri, or AkaRI?", both pronunciations were open and about what one would expect of an Oriental person, just with different stresses on the syllables, "I've been wondering that for a while but never remembered to ask.", then he had glanced at Jett, "Oh, uhhh, I don't think I have your name yet? S-sorry I can't really remember them unless they're said straight to my face...", the young man had explained with a nervous chuckle, "Mine is Sage, if you also di- Oh wait, that was in the quip already, wasn't it? Duh, how could I forget this quick!"

It seemed like one of the ghosts, probably the casino manager, was granting them passage inside the building. Well, on the condition that they all worked in there, apparently. It was a guaranteed way to explore the place, he guessed, buuuut, did they really need money for anything?? Normally the pyromancer would answer with food, and yet since they were allegedly dead but not really, perhaps food wouldn't be a need anymore...?

"Ohhhhh, what's it that we have to do?! Is it something with delivery?? I always make this joke but maaan, I would love to stretch my wings a bit actually!", he seemed, strangely excited about this, was it just the prospect of trying something new?, "Oh! And I hope we don't need a license to work or something of the sort because I wouldn't have one... I've never worked before to be honest, unless you count voluntary temple chores as work.", he kept rambling on even as the group was led inside, "...I mean, it's technically also my home... So, I don't really think that counts. But hey! I'm good organizing stuff and like cleaning, and some small appliance repairs and such! Those people reeeally don't like throwing things out if they're still fixable..."

Sage didn't even seem to notice Frank's group joining right after them, just caught up with being a chatter-box for the moment.

With Wario out of the way, (possibly for now) Sora and Rex find more civilians to talk to. On their way, they run into, Yang, Weiss, and a few others looking for Ruby.


“Sure, but. You think Ruby may be down here? She’s a nice girl, don’t you think she may be somewhere..” Rex makes a pointing up gesture. “That’s not as bad as this?” He finishes that sentence pointing down where they are. The boys also see this bizarre hairy looking thing with eight legs, kinda akin to a spider, asking who they were.

“Uh. We’re trying to find who runs hell itself, or at least this city.” Sora answers the kinky looking creature. Sooner or later, they actually manage to find Ruby, themselves leaving Sora and Rex baffled, but decide to roll with it and let their friends be at peace for a moment.

  condition: Normal.​
  
  

  The old man looked over to Orbeck. He hadn't ever spoken to the strangely clad man, and had pretty much filed him away as one of the people that verbally dog-piled Ellie after she shot at Time Baby. "The plan isn't to force his hand.

From what I've gathered about the target, he's powerful Maybe too powerful for us to fight. So we need to convince him to help us somehow. Can't do that if we don't know where he is."

  "So make him think he has us in his grasp then." At least he knows that just fighting him off is not going to do them any favors. He has the sort of competence that should have been expected in a mission like this. And convincing him...It might actually work if all he was after was some sort of entrainment. entrainment over their struggles that is. That bridge will be crossed when we get there. And he intended on doing it, willing to kill those undeserving without content. No point in saying his views on killing when he spewed them out to Ellie.
  
  

  "I'm the one that shot him. If you've got a problem, take it up with me, kid. Stop with the lectures. She's in shock," Frank said, his scowl setting on Lillith. "As long as people like that are in the way, I'm not slowing anything down. Get used to it." Or stop me, if you can,

  And it seems as if he is preparing for the potential for resistance from the rest of the group, not heading over Lillith's lectures. It will certainly come at some point...if not here, then somewhere at least. Hard to say if Frank considers him just some formally clad man with unrealistic expectations, or if he knows what he meant by his words.
  
  None the less, it looks as if they were preparing to head to the casino. The message that he was typing up was about done as well. He would eventually send it to everyone who has a device on them. The message reads as follows.
  
  Given the large number of newcomers that had come forward as of late, a few things must be said.
  firstly, It is made clear that hell in it of it/;s self is ruled over to some degree by Alastor. To those who have been with us briefly, we had an encounter with the figure himself, a demon with an ever-present grin and whose attire is as red as hell itself. Be aware that he also has ties with a so-called third influence known as the shareholders, an organization with only the vice of greed and finances on their minds. Frank has suggested that we try and convince Alaster to release us from this place, but that will depend on the circumstances we find him in. Make use of this as you will, and tell it to those who have only just arived. I'll be looking through the bar for anything of note if you need me.
  
  With that done, Orbeck would vacate the group, casting hidden body on himself as a simple precautionary measure. He was only intending to check up on frank's group. Once he is done with the bar, he'll make his way to the casino. But for now he makes his way to the bar. It takes a bit longer, more so with the spell in question making in nearly impossible for most people to see him. He can easily end up bumping into someone if he is not careful. It still should provide some means to evade any demons with truly malicious intent.
  
  One trip later and he would arrive at the bar...and as expected, it was absolutely discussing. All the sort of overbearing inascorse and stains from the potential hundreds of fights that broke outin this establishment. All That he could find at this point so far where two White-haired witchers sitting by as a barmaid looks on flustered. Most likely from Geralt, for Ciriis not that kind of person.
  
  "So it looks as if you two stayed behind." Orbeck said as he approaches the two "Anything of note so far?"

POST

As Lazarus was trying to keep Ellie from shooting the demons in front of them, Frank attempted to convince the two demonic minions to put down their weapons and forsake their employer. It was a bit of a gamble, but it seemed as if the work environment was as bad as it seemed at first glance. Moxxie didn’t seem to have many reservations against leaving as he surrendered his handguns. Millie followed in suit, despite their boss’s pleas. The man...demon was literally on his knees at the verge of crying about this… This company sounded like an absolute mess in every regard, and Lazarus was starting to pity them.

In the meanwhile, Ellie had pulled her gun out of his grip, walked up to the boss, and pressed her weapon against his head, ready to kill him execution-style. Even if he was a murderer in Hell, justice had granted through due process. A fair trial was required so that the punishment met the crime. This time, Lazarus didn’t grab the gun as he approached the girl, knowing that with the slip of a finger, the gun would go off and kill the demon. Thankfully, the archer boy seemed to make Ellie have second thoughts.

Lazarus thought that that would be the end of this encounter, but Frank had other ideas. The Punisher walked up to the demon and executed him with the utmost of casualness. It was fluid and practiced, just like the execution of Jared. The blood splashed against the Marine’s helmet, smearing black polymers with a crimson stain. Lazarus had hoped that the Punisher could keep his violence in check for noncombatants at the very least, but that was wishful thinking with a vigilante that thought that brutal vengeance was an acceptable path. The Marine tightly clutched his hand into a fist as he restrained his anger at this perversion of justice.

While Frank sent the two surviving demons off to spread the news that the MPF was looking for the Radio Demon and made plans to find Alastor, Lazarus sent the dead demon off with as much respect as could be managed. He dug into his rucksack and pulled out a roll of plastic wrap, using the sheets as a makeshift body bag while using the demon’s own jacket to cover the wound on his head. The following card was attached to the corpse, as per procedure:

Spoiler: Card

Along his travels, Lazarus had come to the grim realization that there would be abundant corpses to be taken care of. The bags he had the foresight to pack were used up quickly, so he had to resort to a Dollar Store alternative. When the corpse was packaged, Laz offered up a prayer for his sake, even though he was a demon… as well as a prayer for Frank’s sake.

When the deed was done, the focus had shifted from the plan moving forward to figuring out where the archer boy went. Frank was looking out the window when he mentioned that the boy was with the kitsune. Lazarus took a peak out of the building just in time to see the white haired kitsune turn into a massive nine-tailed fox. It was quite the scene, mesmerizing even to a man who was what amounted to be a superhero.

Seeing that the others were leaving, Lazarus followed suit, following the two silently as they descended the building. It did not help the mood to see Kendall just standing there with an uncanny smile; this badger had all the makings of a psycho.

The heavy conversation between Ellie, Frank, and a ghost girl had all the wrong sentiments. The execution was justice? The demon had it coming? Maybe there was some truth to the statements themselves, but the tones, emotions and people behind them were twisted. Lazarus couldn’t blame them though; Frank and Ellie clearly had been through a lot and suffered more than any person should, so he withheld his thoughts.

From the I.M.P Headquarters, the next location of interest was the casino, and sure enough, it was a casino. Flashy slot machines, green felt-covered card tables, abundant alcohol: the works. As Frank took the lead in trying to interrogate the staff for information, Lazarus slung his rifle’s strap across his shoulder and let it hang against his chest. There wasn’t any good reason to seeming more hostile than he was as he kept an eye out for any outstanding suspicious characters in the den of gamblers.

Agent 3

There was only a large thud sound as a great, white-haired fox the size of a car landed right next to Agent 3, just before she reached the Hotel and 'won' the race! The ground shook a little bit from the impact, as the fox seemingly jumped out of the many buildings that made up the city of hell where they came from. Its size was great, and the fangs in its mouth could rip someone to shreds. The tails that moved about behind it were familiar, however, but they definitely seemed heavy despite the rest of the body seeming fluffy. Like they could do some serious blunt damage against someone if the fox wanted to. Everyone else, including the residents of the hotel, could see this extremely bizarre, and maybe attention raising arrival of the fox, too.

"Looks like I won." The fox said, offering a grin to Agent 3 that showed an almost humane expression despite its size and being. But the voice was familiar despite it being rough and bestial- it belonged to Mimaki, the Kitsune that appeared on the Axiom!

"I guess you did." The Inkling comically responded - though the landing of this someone had quite startled her. People landing nearby her is nothing new, that's fine - but... What the heck is this guy, apart from alien to her? She opted not to draw attention to it, but none the less, it would sink in when the giant ball of fluff would unveil its true self. "...Yeah, you totally did. I was only really saying it for a joke, but I guess this is fine, too." She laughed it off and coupled it with a shrug of 'I guess' at the thought alone. "Was... alright while it lasted, eh?"

Given the large number of newcomers that had come forward as of late, a few things must be said.
firstly, It is made clear that hell in it of it's self is ruled over to some degree by Alastor. To those who have been with us briefly, we had an encounter with the figure himself, a demon with an ever-present grin and whose attire is as red as hell itself. Be aware that he also has ties with a so-called third influence known as the shareholders, an organisation with only the vice of greed and finances on their minds. Frank has suggested that we try and convince Alaster to release us from this place, but that will depend on the circumstances we find him in. Make use of this as you will, and tell it to those who have only just arrived. I'll be looking through the bar for anything of note if you need me.

Now, she looks to her communication device and noticed a message from Orbeck - managing a smile on her face as she would read over it. Is she glad that everyone knows what's going on? Of course she is - the quicker the word spreads, the better the group can work on this!

I mean..." Leo said as he looked at the others, shrugging. "The casino's as good as a place as any." He said. Jason and Bobby nodded in the affirmative.

At the casino itself, the Boo nodded in response to Akari. "We're actually in need of a table waiter right now, actually!" He said, before turning around and leading the small group in question into the building. "If you three follow me, then I'll set you up with your outfits and the proper employee training."

Akari "Paladin" Kishiri


Akari grinned when the Boo mentioned the job opening. "See that? That'll be how we earn some money. Not to mention, we can probably take a peek at the interior of the casino while we follow the Manager to... wherever it is we're going to be trained." Akari said to his companions before briefly turning his head towards Killua. "You can look for any games you might want to play, Killua..." Facing forward again, Akari pumped his fist. "...and I can look to see if there's a burger place inside!" Akari, however, was quick to assume a pondering pose. "Although... given the setting, their food may be a little bit... spicy... but, no matter! I will accept that challenge!" Having said his piece, Akari followed the Boo into the casino.

Sage had let out a conflicted 'ehhh' and looked away when Leo had said that the casino was as good as any location, clearly disagreeing with the statement. Sure, he didn't go as far as to say exactly why, but the distaste was there for everyone to see. Of course, a casino was fine, if you liked endlessly losing money to a bunch of rigged games, that is. Still, this was Hell, so as most as he'd like to find a genuine normal nice place, it would be the same as searching for a needle inside a haystack... or however that expression went. Practically impossible.

But, between the bar and the casino, this did seem like the lesser of the evils.

At least the last member he had picked was incredibly cheerful and heartwarming! Really, it was hard not to have a smile in his face whenever Yoshi spoke! What a pure, innocent Soul... He was like a little child. Ohhhh, maybe he was a baby Dragon??

" 'Yoshisaurus'? ", the pyromancer had parroted in confusion, scratching at this cheek with awkwardness, "Well, I uhhh... I really don't know what that means? Or what a dinosaur even is, buuuut I guess I wasn't all wrong sooo, n-nice?", there was a rather long and uncomfortable pause, "Ooookay... Nice to meet you, Yoshi, I'm Sage! Aaand that's it, because if I start rambling we're gonna waste way too much time.", he had laughed to himself softly, totally not a lie though! He could reeeally ramble.

It seemed that despite all of that talk of duos or trios, all of the remaining people were headed for the casino anyways. Not really a problem in the young man's mind, just something to take note of. He had watched as Fuma closed all the passages into the other locations and left only the one to their destination open. For a moment, he had just been taken by the swirling Magical vortex, almost as if in a trance as he admired it in awe. Teleportation was achievable with Arrays, though the idea was to destroy and re-build an object, --which was a bit of a scary prospect with people--, but straight connecting locations like this? Like, like making a door that linked two different points in a space? Even if it wasn't a completely new concept to absorb, seeing it be done live had been an experience!

He had gestured for Leo go through the portal before him, but then almost missed his cue to do the same while distracted with the gateway itself. Oops, that had been a close one! And here they were! The casino... The group had arrived just in time to hear the end of a conversation with what looked like a big round ghost? --ghost and not projection this time, right? Like Lilith?-- A round ghost and some other members of their party. Sage was pleasantly surprised to see Killua in-between them, given that he still wanted to chat with the kid about what had happened during Globnar. The other two were Akari and the white-haired lady that he had rescued earlier, the one that spoke a bit funny. An overall nice group to run into and not one that he thought matched the location, to be honest.

"Heeey~ Small place, isn't it?", the Descendant had stepped towards the trio with a wave, it certainly helped that they were all people that he already kind of knew, "And I've had recent-ish interactions with all of you too, what a coincidence!", he let out cheerfully, though maybe he should have thought better before saying that line, oh well, "By the way, is it pronounced AKAri, or AkaRI?", both pronunciations were open and about what one would expect of an Oriental person, just with different stresses on the syllables, "I've been wondering that for a while but never remembered to ask.", then he had glanced at Jett, "Oh, uhhh, I don't think I have your name yet? S-sorry I can't really remember them unless they're said straight to my face...", the young man had explained with a nervous chuckle, "Mine is Sage, if you also di- Oh wait, that was in the quip already, wasn't it? Duh, how could I forget this quick!"

It seemed like one of the ghosts, probably the casino manager, was granting them passage inside the building. Well, on the condition that they all worked in there, apparently. It was a guaranteed way to explore the place, he guessed, buuuut, did they really need money for anything?? Normally the pyromancer would answer with food, and yet since they were allegedly dead but not really, perhaps food wouldn't be a need anymore...?

"Ohhhhh, what's it that we have to do?! Is it something with delivery?? I always make this joke but maaan, I would love to stretch my wings a bit actually!", he seemed, strangely excited about this, was it just the prospect of trying something new?, "Oh! And I hope we don't need a license to work or something of the sort because I wouldn't have one... I've never worked before to be honest, unless you count voluntary temple chores as work.", he kept rambling on even as the group was led inside, "...I mean, it's technically also my home... So, I don't really think that counts. But hey! I'm good organizing stuff and like cleaning, and some small appliance repairs and such! Those people reeeally don't like throwing things out if they're still fixable..."

Sage didn't even seem to notice Frank's group joining right after them, just caught up with being a chatter-box for the moment.

As when Akari said to the manager that there is jobs, there is actually job openings and have Jett the perfect timing to get in the casino saying to herself while following the manager 'Well, that is now Phase 2. Now, we're now in Phase 3....'

She looked at the manager with a very professional yet disguising manner towards him saying to the manager "Yeah, I hope our paying will be great if the three of us are doing the job very well here in this place..."

She then looked at Killua with a heist like manner inside of her very excited mind whispering to him "Is this Phase 3 of the heist, Killua??? We don't have the three of us got caught or something early on, let's just act out our job."

Jett is looking at the slot machines that are using by the customers that either to be new or old in Boo-Cino while having to continue to follow the manager but she doesn't wanted to knock the manager out cold since he is a real ghost and was having some patience inside of her saying on herself again 'Now, where are we actually gonna have Phase 4 in this plan, I hope we could talk our plans in a basement if they have one and it is for employees only not the customers which it'll be a relief if they have one here.... now where do we have out escape plan by now??? I couldn't just run away while having our jobs, we are going to be busted after this by now..'

She waits for the Boo-Cino manager to respond her question about what will happen if they could handle their jobs very well and have the best payments or something as a reward.

"Hmmm... alright, then," Angel Dust replied with a grin as he turned back around and walked towards Weiss. "Let's just say you owe me a favor, then." He said, patting her shoulder with his top left hand, before walking right past her. "Come on. Your pal's this way." He replied as he began to lead them in the opposite direction from where he'd been walking.

Wario merely watched Rex and Sora walked away with a shrug. "Okay. See ya." The fat man said flatly. During Sora and Rex's quest to find more leads, they would have no doubt found Angel Dust leading the small group that had gathered with him.... well, somewhere. Maybe this was a sufficient lead?

"Y-yeah..." The tall boss said with a gulp and a nod, pointing at Lazarus with a shaky finger. "I-I'd suggest listening to him!" He said nervously. Frank's words made his nervousness stockpile by tenfold, especially when he mentioned the "kids die for free" part of their little jingle. Before he could even try to come up with a retort to that, though, the old man was already speaking again. "H-hey!" The boss shouted angrily when Frank began to try and turn his subordinates against him. He looked down at the two and let out a whine, holding up his arms. "Come oooon! You two know I'm a great boss, r-right??" He asked. Moxxie stared up at him for a long moment, pursing his lips and furrowing his brows as he did so. And then, after a long moment, he closed his eyes and exhaled deeply, before turning back to face Frank and the others. And then, without another word, he dropped his two handguns on the ground and kicked them over to Frank. The sight made the boss let out a sheepish, high-pitched, "EEP!", which was followed by a gasp. "I-I can't believe this, Moxxie!" The boss said, tearing up a bit. "A-after all the times that I've given you employee of the month..." His words hung there for a moment as he reached behind him and into his back pocket, before producing a framed, golden plaque of sorts.

"This is how you repay me?"

Moxxie merely sighed in response and shook his head. "No offense, Sir... but you're the worst employer I've ever had." He then turned to Millie and looked at her for a long moment, before tilting his head towards Frank and the others. For Millie, however, the decision was not so easy. She was very clearly conflicted, with her face full of worry and small whimpers leaving her mouth as she looked between the Moxxie, her boss, and the group.

"Millie... come on!" Her boss pleaded, before literally falling to his knees and clasping his hands together. "I-I'm on my knees here, Millie! Don't do this!" She said, which caused Millie's look of confusion to deepen. She only looked up at Moxxie, who was staring at her with a far more serious expression. He only gave her a single, knowing nod, and that was it. And then, with a quiet sigh, Millie lowered her head and closed her eyes.

"I'm sorry, Sir..." She muttered quietly, before weakly dropping both of her SMGs onto the ground and nudging them over to Frank and the others with the tip of her foot, which just barely caused them to slide across the floor. The boss was just sitting there on his knees in shock, his lower lip quivering at the betrayal he'd just witnessed.

"She's been stayin' at the same hotel I've been crashin' at downtown," Angel Dust explained to Kagutsuchi as they continued to walk down the sidewalk. After enough walking had transpired, they had eventually reached the aforementioned hotel. The porn-star's eyes widened slightly when he noticed the small group that had formed just outside of the hotel's doors. "Who the fuck are these clowns?" He asked aloud as he began to step forward, ahead of the group he'd been leading. "Hey! HEY!" He shouted at Lealan specifically. Before much else could be said, though, Gretar had opened the door, and all of the commotion had been enough to attract the occupants of the building.

There was a blonde woman in a dressed up uniform, another blonde in less nice clothes and who appeared to have a messed up eye, and a demon... rat... thing at the bar, dressed in a top hat. They all stared at the group, as well as one more guest, one who was perhaps easier to recognize.

"Y-Yang...?"


In a flurry of rose petals, Ruby was off in a flash. The first thing she did was embrace her older sister, burying her face into her shoulder while quiet sniffles and sobs could be heard. And she held onto her.

And she didn't let go.

Meanwhile, Thorne was not trying to not have enough about Eliie and her anger towards her and decided to walk away from the commotion going on with I.M.P and Frank before she could look at someone talking to Yang and Weiss trying to lead the two to somewhere so she decide to follow the three to a hotel called the 'Happy Hotel' while holding back her tears about something that is referring to Ellie.

As when she entered the hotel, the female would look at someone that has short hair that is calling Yang thinking that she knows her too well before hugging the blonde and smiled in a emotional way since she thinks about it as a apology to Ellie or having to risk about her entire body and soul just to be in the place where she can finally sit in paradise saying on her mind '..... I am so happy of the two of them reunited, but I don't know that red haired person but she can see her as well...' She then looked around the hotel with a very kind manner saying to herself in a mumbling yet exciting voice "Wow, this hotel here in Hell is so good here....." Thorne tries to not look at the group in the hotel in order to not get caught during the middle of the emotional reunion between the two, she will try to either walk out of the hotel or approach the group before she approached the group saying "Well, congrats on finding her.... and enjoy the emotional reunion."​

Geralt of Rivia

Behind him, Geralt heard Ciri standing nearby. She either followed along to take him up on that drink, make sure he didn't get into too much trouble, or both. Needless to say, her presence was hardly unwelcome. The room was full of unfriendly eyes and monsters. Even the woman behind the bar, as much as she currently held his attention, couldn't really be trusted. After all, appearances can be deceiving. Should something unforeseen occur, and the room came to blows, she would have his back at a moment's notice. As for what to do with what they had, Geralt doubled down on his current plan. It didn't seem like she was really picking up what he was putting down, though.

A pity drink certainly hadn't been his intention, but the Witcher certainly didn't turn it away. "HUD. Okay, I guess I know what I'll be looking for now." In one smooth motion, he knocked back the glass of the unfamiliar alcohol. It certainly wasn't the vodka he was used to. It had distinctly more flavor, and not entirely an unpleasant one at that. Certainly seemed about as strong. Standard glass of liquor like that would barely reach his system at all, even with how fast he drank it. Maybe five minutes until he felt that slight, warm tingling in his hands, maybe twenty until it was out of his system entirely. At the very least, it would take the edge off. "Much appreciated. You've done me one favor already. Do me another and tell me your name?"

Blake stared at Angel Dust, seeing him roll his eyes. “We’re making sure in case you bring us to someone else named Ruby.” Hearing Kagutsuchi say that he was telling the truth, she was more or less inclined to believe him and before she could tell Angel Dust that she’d accept his offer, he began to walk away. It was then that Weiss told him that they’d repay him after he brought them to Ruby, which considering his profession… yeah, it wasn’t the best idea. Angel Dust then turned around with a very worrying smirk, accepting Weiss’ offer and started to lead them to Ruby.

As she followed Angel Dust, she looked at Weiss. “Are you sure this was the best idea considering what he does for a… unliving?” Blake then looked at Kagutsuchi who asked the movie star how he knew Ruby and really, he had a point. Ruby would never get mixed up with this kind of work, alive or dead, so how did the two know each other? He gave them the reason, saying that the two of them were staying at the same hotel which did sound like a coincidence but in this situation, she was glad that the two just so happened to be staying at the same hotel. Eventually, they reached the hotel where they saw Lealan and Gretar there at the front as well as Sora and Rex who had just found them.

The doors opened, revealing four people or at least three people and some sort of demon rat creature. Her eyes however fell on the one with the silver eyes, her own eyes widening. She was here, but… but she didn’t belong here, Ruby should be in the multiverse heaven, not here. The young Huntress hugged Yang, crying which was met with Yang and Weiss hugging her. Blake joined the hug last, already starting to cry as more began to enter the hotel.

They were together again… yeah, they were all dead, but they were together again.

Going over to the bar, she heard Geralt and sighed. It may have been an innocent question, but knowing him, it’ll turn into flirting eventually if it hasn’t already. Sitting down next to Geralt, she looked at him before looking at the woman behind the bar, sighing. “I apologize in case he’s started flirting with you, he does this with every woman he meets. I'd get a drink, but I don't have whatever currency they take down here if gold isn't accepted."

She then looked to see Orbeck approaching them and in response, she shook her head no. “Apart from Geralt flirting with the local women, not really.”

The quiet sobs from Ruby continued as she hugged onto her sister tightly, trembling hands wrapping around her clothes. Some of Ruby's tears had fallen onto the ground, getting onto Angel Dust's shoes in the process. The pornstar in question had scoffed at the sight, and he was about to open his mouth, but then Ruby spoke first. "Y-your arm's missing..." She said through a few sniffles as she curled her lips upwards into a small smile. She'd hugged Weiss as well as Blake when they joined in. Her tears had probably stained Yang's clothes a bunch - but Ruby didn't care. She was just happy to be with her team again.

The moment was eventually interrupted by the well-dressed blonde demon stepping forward with an awkward wave and an equally awkward smile. "Hiii...." She said with as she then proceeded to clasp her hands together sightly.

"I'm Charlie..." The girl said in a nice, calm tone. She clearly wasn't really comfortable with interrupting such a sweet moment. The "new in hell" comment from the former Kyou was enough for her to gather who these people were. "Ruby's told me all about you guys. Um..." She peered off to the side for a moment, before taking a step back and holding open the door. "Feel free to come in!" She would shake her head at Gretar's words and say, "No, no! You're not bothering us at all! You can feel free to ask us any questions that you have!"

"Of course! Right this way, new employee!" The Boo-nager exclaimed in response to Akari as he led him and the others into the front of the casino. As he led the small group in question into the back, he was asked a few questions. "I need two waiters and one janitor. I don't care who does what." He said as he pulled out a key from... somewhere, and unlocked a wooden door. After pulling it open, the trio was led into a small, dusty office. It didn't appear to be the manager's office or anything. He floated over to a nearby wardrobe and opened it up, producing a two tuxedos and one dark blue pair of overalls. It was then that another group had joined them, which made the Boo immediately regret leaving the door open. With a sigh, he pulled out another pair of overalls and handed it to Sage. "We need someone to wash dishes. No prior experience needed." At Jett's question, the Boo merely stated, "You'll be paid based on your performance."

All the while, Leo stood in the back silently. It seemed like manual labor wasn't really his thing.

Inside the casino itself, Frank had managed to chase down one of the waitresses, who was a more feminine looking ghost than the others.

She took on the classic "Playboy Bunny" appearance, with a pair of bunny ears and a matching pink bow-tie. She was holding up a silver platter with what looked like fancy wine glasses that had (presumably) wine in them. At Frank's question the female Boo merely replied, "You'll have to take that up with King Boo, sugah. He's the one with all the connections." And with that, she merrily floated away.

Jason had since broken off from the other group and approached Frank as the female Boo-nny floated away. He held up the communicator and showed it to Frank, displaying Orbeck's message that he'd sent out to the group. "Tell me what you've got so far." He said after Frank had gotten enough time to read over the message in question.

As when Jett entered a small, dusty office and she looked at the two tuxedos being the waiters and a dark blue pair of overalls which are the janitors before deciding to go with the waiteress job since she is know about being a waitress "I'll go with the waiter job then, sir! I like the tuxedos also, it is very neat yet plain for a waiter or waitress outfit."

She smiled before hearing the manager stated that they'll be paid based on their performances in the casino saying on her mind about the paying due to the performances of the workers idea from the manager of the Boo-Cino 'Okay, now I need to act like a proper waitress now because I need to get some impressive performances..''

Jett then tried to grab the tuxedo with care before checking if there is some holes or any messy stuff in the tuxedo while looking at Killua at Akari saying "I guess Killua will have the janitor job then so me and Akari are the waiters, alright?"​

The Boo shrugged. "I don't care who does what." He handed Jett one of the tuxedos. "There's a fitting room in the back. Be out in five."

Agent 3

The quiet sobs from Ruby continued as she hugged onto her sister tightly, trembling hands wrapping around her clothes. Some of Ruby's tears had fallen onto the ground, getting onto Angel Dust's shoes in the process. The pornstar in question had scoffed at the sight, and he was about to open his mouth, but then Ruby spoke first. "Y-your arm's missing..." She said through a few sniffles as she curled her lips upwards into a small smile. She'd hugged Weiss as well as Blake when they joined in. Her tears had probably stained Yang's clothes a bunch - but Ruby didn't care. She was just happy to be with her team again.

The Inkling fell silent one more time as the scene unfolded before her eyes. A reunion between a full quartet - the four of them back together. Death may have split them apart, but never really cut them up forever. Sighing and managing a smile through this, Agent 3 watched in assurance, just glad to see that this scene was even able to happen. Eventually, though, the scene would be interrupted - though not forcefully, awkwardly instead.

The moment was eventually interrupted by the well-dressed blonde demon stepping forward with an awkward wave and an equally awkward smile. "Hiii...." She said with as she then proceeded to clasp her hands together sightly.

"I'm Charlie..." The girl said in a nice, calm tone. She clearly wasn't really comfortable with interrupting such a sweet moment.

"She did, did she?" Agent 3 joked a little before shrugging - and then hearing the response about the questions. No less, in case people hadn't entered, it seems the door was open (of which, if she hadn't yet for some reason, she'd head on in). "Well, to be quite honest, there's probably plenty of those I 'want' to ask, but... I can't find them right now, most of the words are lost on me..." The Inkling laughed it off some more and shrugged it off in kind like it was truly nothing. She briefly paused and thought about it. "Well, let's start simple... What's up with this place?" She asked, referring to the hotel itself.

"O-oh...?" Charlie would ask in response to Agent 3's question. "Well... this is a hotel..." Charlie began as she rose up her arms and gestured to the room around her. "For rehabilitating wayward sinners. Because, like... ya know, hotels are for people passing through... so it's like they're temporarily staying in Hell... and going to Heaven..." Charlie blushed and brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, chuckling a bit. "It's a silly idea, I know... I actually prepared a whole song for it--"

"I... don't think that now's the time for the song, Hun,"

The other blonde in the more casual clothes spoke up as she gave the group more wary looks than Charlie had been offering. "I'm Vaggie, by the way." She said to all of you as she lifted a hand in a small wave towards, before retracting it into the folded position beneath her chest. Charlie nodded quicklu in response, giving Vaggie a thumbs up.

"Right..." She said to the other demon, before slowly turning her head to face all of you. "So... how did you all die?" She asked curiously.

There was just one appropriate response to this situation and it was...

"Yes, Sir! I'll be on it right away, Sir!"

With his eyes bright and a two-fingered salute, Sage had very gladly taken the overalls and stared at it for a moment in amazement since it was definitely not a piece of clothing that he had in his repertoire. Or wore, like ever. Still, he was brimming with anticipation. Not at the dishes really, just at being helpful in general. Maybe he was just weird like that, but he liked helping for just, helping! It would make someone else happy, or at least make things neatly and made him feel useful. Honestly, the young man didn't even need the money that came from it. All he needed was the satisfaction of a job well done, the correction of the energies in a room, --added to the respect for all of the objects and such--, and the nice warm feeling of helping somebody. All of which were completely free!

Either way! After having looked at the garment for a while, the pyromancer had decided that he should probably take his jacket off for this. As such, he had done so, zipped it back closed and nicely folded it, then making his way towards Leo with a cheer in his step. It was almost like someone about to go somewhere they really liked, instead of, you know... Washing dishes, in a casino... in Hell.

"Is it okay if I leave this with you?", he had asked, offering the other his jacket, which he held out slow and careful, it was more than obvious how much he cherished the item, "Okay, so it's probably fine to stay there, but if anything happens just shout for me and I'll come running, okay? This shouldn't take tooooo long~", and there was it again, the same three-word phrase, peeking in his mind... He had shaken it away, soon stepping out with a wave, avoiding it from tempting him again, "They're letting me in the kitchen!!", the young man had laughed cheerfully as if it was a rare occasion. Wait, what? So this meant that he couldn't before???

Unfortunately, with Sage's jacket, and by consequence all of his possessions, now presumably with Leo, Orbeck's message hadn't been seen at all. This was the second time that this happened, wasn't it? Eh, hopefully it wouldn't become a pattern... As the Descendant had let the idea of being in the kitchen sink in, however, his excitement seemed to die out a bit. He had stopped rather suddenly in the middle of the room, in silence, before backtracking and returning to the other teen, clearly concerned with something.

"...I should take this with me.", as he had pulled the armlet out from one of the jacket's pockets with a little defeated sigh.

And then he had stepped out again, hesitantly sliding the relic onto his arm as he walked, letting the Runes do their job. It was back to feeling that mild disconcerting feeling of something just being wrong that came with forced restraint. But again, better safe than sorry... It would just be for a couple minutes, he could live with it for a couple minutes. When the pyromancer had come back to the big round ghost manager, his eyes were a soft cappuccino shade instead of the initial fiery orange and he seemed, a bit more skittish. Not all the anticipation and willingness had disappeared but, the change was quite noticeable.

"Aaalright, cool. Uhhh... Please, point me to the bathroom so I can change? And then to the kitchen so I can do get this done."

 

[thatguyinthestore]

The Boo had watched Sage with a deadpan expression, only cocking a brow in response. Why was this boy so eager about washing dishes? Leo watched with a similar, albeit more confused, expression, as Sage handed him his jacket. A simple, "Uhhh...." Was all he could get out as the jacket was handed off to him, and Sage was off. When Sage hopped back and took his armlet, Leo lifted a finger and said, "Sage, I don't think--" But then he was cut off by the pyromancer hopping off yet again. He merely dropped his arm back down to his side and slumped over with a sigh upon witnessing the site, before looking around for somewhere to hang the coat.

"The bathroom's on the other end of the casino," The Boo-nager explained. "The kitchen's the big, open room right next to it. You can't miss it."

"I... don't think it's a silly idea, no. Besides, if you're here to begin with, I've heard Hell is for the 'bad' people... Right? It's not terribly far-fetched." She quipped honestly, though in agreement with Charlie as someone else, Vaggie, stopped the implied song before it even started. "Oh, death? Well, how's a laser to the face sound? The bulk of us got caught in the way of one while all crowded in one place." Agent 3 said bleakly and simply, sighing as she repeated it and reminded herself - no less the others with her - of how they got here. "...And now here we are, I guess."

Charlie's expression seemed to brighten a bit with Agent 3's words. "Really?" Charlie asked as a genuine smile spread across her face, rather than a nervous one. She would then chuckle a bit and gesture to herself when the inkling pointed out that Charlie was indeed, in Hell. "Well, I'm the Princess of Hell," She explained. "Sooo... I don't really count."

Charlie would then nod and listen while the squid girl explained how they'd all ended up there. "Ohh.... well, that's... unpleasant." She said, before raising her head a bit and observing the gander group for a moment. As she got a good look at everything that was going on, a brow was raised. "You all don't..." Her words hung there for a moment before lowering her head once more to look down at Agent 3. "Seem like bad people..."

Gretar​

Gretar nodded at the words of the now named Charlie, as he entered the hotel, but he stayed near the entrance in order to continue the conversation, which is around the part where she said that group was not bothering them at all. Gretar waited a bit to enter the conversation, learning much needed information for someone down here in hell, which is the fact that this hotel is meant to rehabilitate demons so that they have a chance of getting into heaven, which Charlie almost sang out a song about it, but another person by the name of Vaggie stopped her before she can start. And a couple more questions later about their death and learning that Charlie is the princess of hell.... they stopped at the part where she spoke about the group being had people, which is where Gretar finally joined in the conversation.

“That’s because we aren’t bad people.... well, some of us may have done some sins in the past, more or less.... considering our background, but our goals are united here, for we are trying to save the multiverse from a evil warmonger named Ganon... and while that goal may not excuse us from our sins.... I’m pretty sure our entire group would not all be in one location, hell, especially the person you were talking to a bit earlier, Ruby I recalled. It’s weird, but there must be something happening here that caused us to all be here...... not sure what it is, but something might be taking place here in hell, where it is, I don’t know. But it’s our job to fix whatever is going on here as the MPF.”

As the hardened and old veteran finally took a deep breath in, finishing what needed to be said, before saying a few more sentences “So.... one question from me now. Have you guys seen anything ‘weird’ or ‘unnatural’ happening around here in hell..... because every piece of information might be useful in aiding us with what problems lie here....” as he awaited a response.... thinking of multiple scenarios in his head.... but not really sure what is going on here.

Charlie nodded slowly while she listened to Gretar's explanation of... well everything, really. "I... see..." She said as her gaze moved downwards a bit, clearly trying to process the information in her head. She turned around and looked at the other blonde, taking her hand into her's. "Vaggie... can I... um... see you over there for a second?" She asked as she gestured to the nearby hallway with a subtle head tilt. Vaggie nodded in response, which prompted Charlie to turn to the group in turn. "Just give us ooooonnnnnnneee second, please!" She said, before quickly pulling Vaggie away and into the nearby hallway. The two could be seen whispering, presumably about you all, while shooting occasional glances in the group's general direction. This went on for a fair amount of time, until the duo nodded at each other and walked back into the room.

"Okay..." Charlie said, closing her eyes and exhaling. "We'll help you guys, assuming you're telling the truth." She said, before hearing out Gretar's question. "Well... define 'weird'," Charlie said, putting the word "weird" in air quotes. "Because... there's lots of weird things that happen here every day. Which kiiiinda makes it hard to tell which is normal, Hell weird, and what's weird... voodoo... weird."
