Akari "Paladin" Kishiri

"I mean, this is Hell we're talking about. Y'know, 'The Inferno'. A place of great heat... aside from the innermost Circle, like I said. Complete opposite, there." Akari then tapped his head lightly with his pen. "Actually, now that you mention it, I guess it would be weird if they didn't have working freezers for ice-cream and refrigerators for fruits and other perishables, in that case. Though... I suppose Cocytus ice would be a good replacement if either broke down, you might argue."

Akari spotted the $20 HUD bill that Sage had produced, and moved his pen back to the pad. "Oh, good. That should cover the sundae, at least. The fruit platter is more or less meant for a whole group of casino-goers to enjoy at once, and again, it's a kind of breakfast-only thing, not to mention... fresh fruit in Hell, a place meant for suffering, is a luxury. In any case, I'll mark you down for a Boo Sundae to-go. It'll be a bit of a wait." He wrote Sage's order in the pad and brought the paper to the kitchen to be carried out.

While Akari's words made little sense for the pyromancer whose world has no concept of Hell nor Heaven, they did serve to remind him of something he had already forgotten. The environment was supposed to be really hot right now... To Sage, it really didn't feel like it, if anything he had never felt more at home, like an animal that had been raised in captivity finally at their natural habitat. His powers had never been more 'relaxed', not having to fight Weather itself to co-exist.

Was it weird to be so attuned to a location that was supposed to be terrible?
It hadn't been all that bad thus far, and so many places had been notably worse...

If this was supposed to mean something, he obviously wasn't bright enough to get it.

"I... didn't actually know what any of this was until I asked, so half of what you just said is lost on me...", the Descendant had recoiled sightly in a mix of embarrassment and shame, "So, you're saying there's a center that's supposed to be unnaturally frosted? The middle of what, the town we're currently in??", he had inquired with increasing confusion, the idea of ice in the middle of the heat seemed outright unbelievable, "And yeeeeah... I mean, you have casinos and bars, so why wouldn't you have fridges?", because you know, priorities, "Not to mention the whole 'transit in-between worlds' thing. Surely someone, or several of them, must have brought all sort of devices back with them for the sake of comfort at some point, right? Even though that defeats the purpose of punishment..."

It seemed that Leo was definitely getting his ice-cream, though anything else was probably out of budget. When the persona user had said that the sundae was costly, he had really meant it! A purchase like this would have driven the whole Phoenix Clan to think that he was mad, given all of the non-materialism and such. It was a good thing no one had to know, ever.

"Ah, I guess that does make sense.", the young man had agreed with a little nod, "It's fine, I wasn't that hungry anyway.", not exactly a lie if you balance out all of the consumed sugar and the many times he had been knocked out. Everyone else had been spending a lot more energy than he had, "Alright, thank you~! Aaaand I'm not gonna move anywhere so you don't have to worry about that part.", he had finished with a soft laugh, to cheer up the mood a bit, make it more lively.

There was a possibility to have asked Akari to drop the order back in the room with the wardrobe so that he could check on Leo but, as anticipating and concerned as he might be, that seemed very unfair to the temporary waiter. He should make it more convenient for the person who was already working, right? He could move later, Akari though, shouldn't. He was the one with reason to leave, not the other. If Sage were to force his plans into someone else like that... He couldn't even see himself doing such a thing, it was that terrible.

All that was left to do now was wait, and check around for wherever Killua and Yoshi might have gone. Just for ease of mind.

    Aloy
    Status: Alright​
    =====================================================================

    Last Aloy knew, she was standing near the time baby and arrived back in the white prison room when suddenly the group in front of her along with herself were struck with a HUGE green laser, by a man in a mysterious dark suit.

    Suddenly Aloy was on the ground, the ground hard and wet and the place was BURNING. Aloy, never experiencing the afterlife hoped she’d at least get to see all-mother and her real mother in the process, never dreamed she would be stuck in this dreary, desolate fiery prison named Hell..

    The world around her was terrifying but the bomb in front of the group was trying to answer the group's questions.

    Aloy would answer the talking bomb “Yeah...I’m new here..”

    After following the group and going through a door, A dark skeleton named Gregg appeared.

    After a long journey through Hell and more, Aloy blinked as she finally made it to the group in front of the strip club.

    She was cautious, something was giving her a bad feeling.

    She paid attention to what the group said about Alastor and the bad feeling they might run into the Shareholders again.

Hugging Ruby back, they then had to split up. While she’d go with Charlie, the rest of her team went with Vaggie which left her with no choice since she wanted to stay with her team. Following Vaggie, her team, and the others that went with them, she kept an eye out around them being on high alert given where they currently were. Eventually, they reached downtown which looked to be as expected as a downtown area in hell to look like. In response to Vaggie, she nodded and as she went to go look for the strip club, she saw the car next to an abandoned strip club.

Yeah, that wasn’t convenient at all.

Following the others over there, a few of their group got out of the truck and the man pointed his gun at Vaggie. She could understand that, he never met her before after all. Staring at him, she could see there was distrust on his face, he avoided looking at Yang for some odd reason, and the look of seemingly malicious cynicism in his eyes that appeared for a brief second. Why was that? Was it because of Vaggie or because of Ruby? She wasn’t sure, but what she was sure of was that if she or anyone asked, he wouldn’t say a word.

They began to head to the club, being cautious in case this was some sort of ambush. Blake began to follow Yang, going to where she went before she left to go help Lilith. Reaching that area of the building, she began to look for another way in, preferably one leading up while the others dealt with helping Lilith. Her eyes caught sight of some scaffolding and hearing voices from inside of the building and before she could start to climb up there, she heard a bunch of things happening from the front of the club. Peeking out from behind the cover, she saw the radio demon himself facing the rest of the group.

However, something about him seemed familiar and listening to his voice, she felt like she had heard that voice before. Was it back at the voodoo shop before Facilier was dragged away? Maybe, but something about his voice just sounded familiar. But that didn’t matter, what mattered was getting a deal with him. Fighting him wouldn’t be the smartest move, he was their best chance at getting out of here. Stepping out of the hiding spot, she went back to the others to see that Arthur was also there. At least he was fine, which was a good thing.

The woman then finally introduced herself to them as Wiz, which prompted a small friendly smile to appear on her face. “My name is Ciri, the white haired man is Geralt.” Before she could introduce Orbeck, he introduced himself. A familiar voice came from behind her and when she turned, she saw Kassandra before remembering that she had forgotten to check on her right before they left. Mentally, she was facepalming herself for that, but at least she was fine.

Ikaros on the other hand didn’t seem to be okay, in fact he was unconscious.

In response to Kassandra, a small smile appeared on her face. “
No, no you haven’t. Besides, I don't have the currency they use down here on me so I can't have a drink. As for where everyone is, they’re out looking around and gathering information. Geralt’s here to get information and I’m here to make sure he doesn’t get too terribly drunk and sleep with another woman. What happened to Ikaros?

Thankfully Orbeck explained more but she wasn’t concerned with that, she was more concerned about Ikaros’ well being.

Thorne looked at everyone while trying to think about something in particular and says on her mind "I don't know who's there but I hope it'll be something good going on...." She looked at the radio demon a question saying to him, she had some point on things that are going to be big like if there is someone that can either have them out of Hell or it'll be a big battle going on now "Hey, look.. do you know what's going on here in this club?? I hope it felt something suspicious going on here, sir.." She turned around to Ellie saying to herself with a quite interesting expression on her eyes and then turned to Blake saying to her when Thorne saw Arthur "Alright, we've got ourselves our cowboy friend now in Hell.. and what are we gonna do now???? We could just have the rest as well, I think" She sighed in realization that everyone could now either going to regroup to the bar now or have to regroup later on in order to find the rest of the group and looked at Arthur with a almost blank look in her eyes while trying to not pull the trigger on the radio demon or else it will be a big fight now in the club which is caused by herself if she would not pull out her Bulldog rifle and started to shoot on him in a emotional manner after she had her confrontation with Ellie earlier on and waits for Blake to reply her question..

Midna would not awaken.

Sure enough, Lilith was not going to play Midna's game, as evident by her possessing one of the crates and then phasing it through the walls of the truck's trailer. Weiss and Yang would have been content with their course of action, and probably went to grab the crates...

Had Lilith not entered the strip club in the process.

Suddenly, both girls felt a freezing breeze run through their spines.

"Lilith, no," Yang warned, as she and Weiss immediately ditched the truck, heading straight for the window as they primed their weaponry. To make matters worse, Weiss and Yang were able to make out a familiar voice wherever they were, even barely. Something about the voice sounded old-timey, and...

Oh God.

Before they could reach the strip club's window, they heard the Radio Demon speak up again, this time indirectly addressing his visitors.

"Yang, your arm--" Weiss worriedly said, but before she could finish, Lilith came crashing through the wall and onto the semi, sending its trailer's contents flying across the...shabby streets. Gasping, the two stepped back, as they gritted their teeth.

"That's the least of our concerns now," Yang forewarned Weiss, as the two then turned their attention towards the emerging Alastor, who was so happy to see them again, he almost couldn't help but to threaten the whole group with just the smoke surrounding him.

As he did so, Yang found herself inching towards Ruby. No way was she going to let her die. Not on her count.

"Lay a hand on my sister, and I'll gladly return the favor," Yang threatened the Radio Demon, now standing beside her as she extended her remaining hand for Ruby to grab.

"I'M AFRAID NOT! Alastor exclaimed in response to Tardif with a small laugh to himself. He looked upon the entire group with a clear intent behind his static-filled eyes: destruction. His pointy, jagged teeth were dripping with crimson blood. And, judging by the low-quality growl that emits from the microphone he was holding in his right hand, it was clear that this hunger wouldn't be satiated any time soon. Frank's weak words made his eyes widen a bit more in interest, which was followed by the quirk of a single brow. "AN EXCHANGE?" He asked, bringing up his hand to tap his index finger delicately against his chin. The demon's eyes pointed skywards a bit as the hummed off in a bout of thought, saying, "But what could you offer me?"

Despite Kyou's best efforts, his attempts really didn't seem to do anything to the famed Radio Demon. He merely stared up at him with a smile and raised his hand in a small waving motion, not saying anything else. Instead, Alastor continued staring at the group, not even slightly acknowledging the spirit's efforts, as he instead found himself laughing a bit at Ellie's threats. "Well, aren't YOU cute as a button?" He asked, before laughing again and bending down to pinch Ellie's cheek slightly. Just as soon as he'd knelt over, he brought himself back up to stand, now facing Lazarus. "Well, if you truly are prepared to make such a deal with me..." He paused to toss his staff into the air, before catching it in the other hand. Once he'd done so, he slammed the staff onto the ground. And, once he'd done so, the world began to distort around you all. It was as if you were all inside of an old television set, and someone had just changed the channel. One by one, objects turned to pure static and fizzled out of existence around you. This included Alastor, who was now only a pair of eyes and a pointed, toothy grin.

Those of you who weren't with Alastor would have this same effect as well. Whether you were in the bar, the casino, or uptown with Charlie... you all found the world around you turning to pure static.

Mid-Chapter Update
"Take Your Seats"

Despite not falling unconscious during this most recent trip, you all found yourselves dazed. Your head was spinning for a quick moment, but it quickly wore off. Once you all managed to regain your composure, though, you found that two things had happened.

dressing+room.jpg


One, you appeared to have found yourselves inside of a dressing room of sorts. The line of mirrors definitely made it out to be some kind of theater dressing room - for actors and actresses and the like. But, he second discovery was perhaps worse than this... not so bad one.

You were alone.

Not as in, the group as a whole is alone together. No, no. Each and every one of you were alone in your own secluded dressing room.

Privacy is important, after all.

“What the fuck!?”

Was Zwei’s rather robust reaction to the sudden change in scenery. She would check herself in the mirror. Sighing. Then looked around for anything of interest....

————————-

“Just had to be some sort of trickster shit, Nope, just can’t help but fight or send us somewhere. Can’t we just talk?? All this BULLSHIT!”

Supergirl sighs and sits on a chair for a bit, before getting up and attempting to just walk out.

Captain Falcon looks around frantically to see that he's laying on a clean floor surrounded by what appears to be a stall of some kind "My space gods, how long have I've been sulking for? I completely lost track of time!" Falcon stands to his feet and begins to shiver when he realizes he's still without shoes "Ooof! Cold floor!" Falcon looks around himself again "Have I been institutionalized? About time! I need a therapist for free! I got too many unresolved problems I need to talk to someone about! ...Because everyone I could tell are go-o-o-o-one...!" Falcon cries as the few friends he had on his journey were slipping away along with his sanity. "I'm alone, man...And I'm not ready...! ...I'm not ready to be without them..."

Tardif the Bounty Hunter

HP: 52/52
Stress: 0/100

Man seeing this person..... no.... monstrosity... with my own eyes, it was clear that this demon wanted to shed our blood and slay us where we stand, even when he spoken to me.... I can’t help but actually start regretting my life decisions.... I swear, if I manage to survive this shit fest, I might have to consider retiring if this is what gonna happen later on again in my life once more.... but I couldn’t help but feel pity for my allies, who were trying different ways to influence the Radio Demon, like with a deal.... or an intimidation attempt that easily failed. But what caught my attention again, was the Radio demon tossing their staff into the air, before grabbing it and slammed it into the ground, causing world to distort around me, everything disappearing.... turning into pure static.... now, I may be a battle hardened warrior, but not even the Eldritch beasts at home were capable of even doing this, and the face..... it still haunts my mind.... I can’t even find a way to process it, with my brain becoming worse with each passing second:

+8 Stress

Tardif the Bounty Hunter:

HP: 52/52
Stress: 8/100

An unknown amount of time later, I finally woken up from, or seemed to be waking up in a unfamiliar place, but my vision was still spinning around for a bit, not letting me get a good look at the environment around me... but as soon as it arrived, my vision finally cleared up, I appeared to be in some sort of dressing room now.... as a single thought, was going through my head, which I said out loud to myself “It seems that this Radio Demon would want to toy with us a bit, before eventually loosing interest and slaying us down where we stand..... a sick bastard I would have great pleasure in killing... but as of now, I am still at the man’s mercy.... hmph, might as well play along until my allies found the perfect plan.... if they can think of one in time....” as I began to look around the room, taking a look at anything I deemed interesting to my eyes, but for now, I needed to relax a bit, deciding to take a seat in one of the available seats in the room, removing my axe from my back, and taking out a whetstone as well, before I began to sharpen the edges of the steel axe, humming a lullaby to myself in order to calm my nerves.... but as of now, I was alone, and exposed to anything that would be hostile to me..... but it wouldn’t mind to point a few possible situations here, maybe it would be a sick ‘game’ ran by the demon... or an ambush... the possibilities may be limited here, but seems like an endless degree of things to prepare for ‘showtime’

thatguyinthestore thatguyinthestore


Gretar
“Ugghhh..... I swear I didn’t drink anything too strong.... but man, those visions I got were, scary in a way.... makes me fear of the unknown....” as a still recovering Gretar said before slowly getting up from the floor, his vision finally returning back to full strength, as the sight around him made the old man confused. “What the, how the hel did I arrived to this place... did I get kidnapped.... and wait, where are the others!” as Gretar began frantically looking around the room, mostly everywhere within the room, except near the front door, because Gretar was sure it was either locked or being guarded by someone... Still, he began breathing in and out, trying to calm himself down, saying mostly the same sentence a few times to himself “Do not worry... I have fared through worse in the past... from allies betraying me, to being literally stabbed through the chest.... but panicking wouldn’t solve anything....” as Gretar began to regain his composure once more, before the old veteran of war managed to put his emotions at a tolerable level.

But hey, a new situation calls for some new solutions, as he began inspecting the room, mostly for what items or pretty much anything like a hidden camera inside.

Fuma

Much to Fuma's own surprise, among others, things have changed their scenes over to... a dressing room?

"..."

Fuma is alone. She can imagine some living beings in the team were worried of the demoness' circumstances, but in fact... she felt calmer, for odd reasons. Or she's mixed on her feelings. "Well, this is new. Fuma's used to starry rooms and magical circles with a side of isolation, but this is a new way to spend time being alone. Fuma's not sure she could summon demons here, but who knows. Maybe this is something that Fuma has to partake in. I could try another style without Nezu bothering me, ufufu..."

And so, Fuma spent part of her time adapting to the dressing room and checking if there is any makeup... particularly, of greens and black. If she did find makeup, she'll start putting up makeup stuff. She didn't care if this was something theatric. She just didn't want to be mistaken for a gothic demon lolita. She wanted to show the essence of a mature, powerful and tough demoness while showing the gothic style well as she did. She doubted any other demons knew how to do makeup, so that's why she's doing it herself. That way, it takes her mind off of what happened. After finishing the makeup (or if she didn't find any makeup), she will just read her Goetia and dark magics. She'll assume she can return to her allies later on.


Yoshi

Well, he and Killua didn't do much navigating, but he, among others, had the same result- ending up in the dressing rooms... with nobody else but themselves. Boring, but apparently this makes Yoshi curious. "Hmmm, Yoshi end up in these rooms, huh? Does Yoshi have to be handsome? Well... Yoshi's fine as is!" Jeez, he has a lot of confidence. He'll just be sitting on a chair in his dressing room just swinging his legs forward and back. He only has himself pumped for what could happen in the future. Nothing beats sudden change with positivity to overcome it! Yoshi could help his friends once they all are together again, right?

As Weiss and Yang watched on, Alastor did not appear to do anything to the group; instead, he only teased a few of its members, eventually using his staff to manipulate the world around the two girls. Soon enough, everything around them turned to static. Yang grabbed onto Ruby's arm anyway, watching as more of their surroundings were consumed.

"Ruby!" Yang said, "Whatever happens, don't panic!"

With the static taking over, she could barely process the barrage of the small, constantly shifting colors of black-and-white. Heavily breathing, Yang looked left-and-right, but she could barely make out anyone else, aside from Weiss and Ruby. Eventually, she could not take it; she let go of Ruby, shielding her shut eyes, as she collapsed to her knees, the vertigo beginning to take hold.

"I can't--...just..."

— - — - —​

The moment Yang opened her eyes, she found herself facing some chairs at a desk.

And...a mirror?

And a mirror. However, as her memory of the static was still fresh, she was still experiencing a dose of vertigo, however fast it may be fading, as while she was trying to get up, she absentmindedly bumped into the desk, sending her head swinging towards one of the mirrors.

"Wh--"

Only a quick press against the top of the desk stopped her a few inches short of colliding with a mirror. At the very least, she wasn't dealing with TV static any longer.

Eventually, she was able to process what was going on; she was in a dressing room by herself. What happened? Of course she shouldn't be surprised; after all, Alastor held a great amount of power, and was apparently able to mind-control four people at once.

Shaking her head, Yang looked around the room.

— - — - —​

"No," Weiss muttered to herself, "What?"

The ex-heiress stared into the mirror. The moment before, she was with the group, facing against Alastor, who had orchestrated this whole mess.

Now, she was alone. Not even a voice distinct from hers could be heard.

Weiss grabbed her communicator and raised it to her mouth, setting it to send to everyone who had one with them.

"This is Weiss," she began, looking around the room, "Can any of you hear me?"

Frank Castle

The edges of Frank's vision began to fray as pain and blood loss began to erode at his ability to remain standing. Even as he kept his rifle trained on the Radio Demon, he felt his knees start to give out under him again. It wasn't until he went to take a breath and got nothing but blood that he realized how close he was to the end. He was drowning. Drowning from a punctured lung. Going out, in Hell, after being hit by a ghost catapulted like a missile for walking into a building it should have stayed away from. It certainly wasn't the way he had pictured things, though it was about as random and quick. It was harder to imagine coming back from dying after already being dead. If there was any permanence in this damnable place, surely it would be there.

Fuck this. There was nothing he could do. Any second now, he would fade into unconsciousness, then into nothing. Might as well go out with a bang. As he got ready to squeeze the trigger on the snarky demon, a shape interposed itself between the two of them. A familiar, divine form. Slowly, his rifle lowered to the ground, then clattered into the street as he felt himself start to pass out. A darkness enveloped him. What almost looked like an eel surrounded him. He was too weak to reach for his gun. Too weak to fight back. That's about when his ribs popped back into place. A gasp and a snarl of pain escaped him as his wounds stitched themselves together. It was a familiar feeling, from when Kyou saved him from Kratos. His vision momentarily went white from the feeling, but as it came back, he realized he wasn't in the dark at all; the light was a dancing array of oranges and reds. The shape that surrounded him the mist didn't go anywhere. It just shifted, staring at him in the strange light.

Yeah, sometimes having a super freak around was pretty convenient. He'd be sure to thank the half-oni god again later.

Coughing up the blood in his lung, Frank scooped up his rifle and pushed himself to his feet once more. Almost like when they came to Hell, it was like he had just woken up after a good night's rest. He felt fresh. Energized. Angry. Fortunately, Lazarus and Kyou were both barring the way, preventing the old man from lashing out (ineffectually) at Alastor. When the demon reached down and touched Ellie, even for an instant, Frank pulled the girl back and stepped in the way, glowering at the creature. As the conversation went on, his expression darkened, his eyes narrowing into a cynical squint. This was familiar. It reminded him of the way Monokuma talked before a vote, turning alarm bells into alarm hurricane sirens. The creature was about to do something. He doubted there would be a corpse to vote on, but there was going to be something.

The old man considered shouting a warning, or trying to run, but a thread of reason pierced the veil of rage. They needed the Radio Demon. Either what he was about to do would screw them over, and they were all doomed, or it would lead them where they needed to go. So, instead, he just closed his eyes and took a deep breath. A few seconds passed. Static filled his ears. Eventually, it faded. He wasn't dead, and the air around him felt different. Cooler. Less polluted. Opening his eyes, he seemed to be in a dressing room. Probably not an accident; in his experience with creatures like Alastor, they rarely were. Might as well take a look around, see if anything useful is in the room.

Lealan stumbles as the world is filled with static. Where before she was surrounded by friends and allies, now she is alone, in a strange room she cannot recognize. It's rather well kept, mirrors and chairs all over the place. Lealan sighs as she takes in her appearance, the lack of sun and healing damage has not been doing her any favors. "Wow. I really look like crap. Can we get teleported into a sunny field for once, or maybe even somewhere with a fucking Sun Lamp." She runs a hand through her hair, then begins to comb the room, checking for anything of value, or maybe just junk. You never know when Junk can be useful. Maybe even something to help cover her appearance a little, like a mask or some makeup or something. These mirrors imply this room is for something like that, right?

Zwei would find a few things of interest in her room. First of all, there appeared to be a set of flowers addressed to her with her name on them. There was also a small shoebox in the corner of her room. There was also a closet, which only appeared to contain a fancy yellow dress.

Supergirl would have found herself unable to leave the room because her door was locked.

Aloy's focus would detect a small, round object inside one of the nearby drawers.

Interestingly, Tardiff would find what appeared to be a black tuxedo hanging from the nearby wall. There was a gift basket next to it - one which was wrapped in plastic and appeared to be addressed to him! How thoughtful!

Unfortunately for Gretar, he would find no hidden cameras present in his room. He did, however, find what appeared to be some kind of purely brown outfit. It was folded up, so it was impossible to tell what kind of outfit it was. He could tell, however, that it wasn't any piece of conventional clothing.

Fuma was indeed able to find the makeup she was looking for, and was promptly able to put it away not too long after! Once the dastardly shades of green and black were properly disposed of, though, she would find that a letter addressed to her sat in the very cabinet she'd set them in.

Yang's room would be... well, it was definitely spruced up. She appeared to have a box of full of flowers, all of which appeared to be from her apparent adoring fans, seated in the corner of her room on a plastic chair. She also seemed to have a picture hanging up on the mirror. That photo was none other than one of Blake, who seemed to be winking at Yang through the photo and blowing her a kiss. There were traces of a smooch on the photo, with traces of red lipstick left on its corner.

When Weiss tried her communicator, unfortunately, all that resulted was nothing but static.

As Frank looked around the room, he found what appeared to be some kind of... mechanical exoskeleton. Well, more specifically, it was just a skull. However, it appeared to be in a vaguely familiar, bear-like shape. Traces of right and black fur were left off of the mostly broken down animatronic, as well as a shattered red eye. If he were to further inspect the bear skeleton, though, he'd find... well, he'd find what appeared to be some kind of red button right in the center of its hollowed-out head. The button was attached to a small remote of sorts, so all he'd have to do was reach in and pull it out...

Right?

Lealan's looks throughout the room would be found, as not far from where she was sitting, a sun lamp sat on a nearby desk! It was nice and bright, too. Perfect for ironing out all those tiny imperfections!

Almost as soon as Killua and Yoshi began to look for hints, Killua felt a daze and ran unconscious. Next thing he knew, he was all alone in a dressing room lined with mirrors.
"T-the heck?"
He took a look around, only to find it to be just your average dressing room. His sense slowly regained.

Right. He was in hell, dead as a doornail. He was with Sage and Yoshi, but they seemed to have left him. He was last at the casino, looking for some clues. Maybe he accidentally triggered an alarm or some other trap? Who knows. Point being he's stuck in a dressing room with nothing to do. So instead he took a closer look at the room. Maybe there was something hidden?

All that came from her communicator was static.

"Great."

Weiss sighed, lowering her communicator back down onto her belt, then looked around the room, trying to see what was there, be it clothes, writings, etc.

Yang raised an eyebrow towards the flowers and photo. To the credit of whoever set up her room, it was a photo Yang had seen before; taken during their short-lived second year at Beacon, their relationships were really starting to take off around the time, and for the first time, Team RWBY was feeling more like a group of best friends hanging together.

"How did they--" Before Yang could finish asking, she stopped herself in the process. She was not here to fixate on that photo.

So she continued looking through the dressing room, trying to see what else she could find, such as whatever...scandalous clothes were awaiting the brawler.

There wasn't much of note. That is, until his eyes settled on an all-too familiar head. A severed, mechanical bear skull. A malicious grin spread across his face, his eyes twisted in a look of sadism. This creature had once been his tormentor. It had inflicted all sorts of cruelty on people he had grown to care about, only to float forever out of his reach. Even if this probably wasn't the same bear that tortured him, it still brought some satisfaction to see the creature in such disrepair.

Of course he pulled out the remote.

Akari "Paladin" Kishiri

Akari returned to Sage once he delivered the sundae order to the kitchen. "The center of Hell." He elaborated. "Hell has nine 'Circles', as depicted in 'Dante's Inferno'. Each one is meant for a different type of sinner-- lust, gluttony, heresy, fraud, violence, and so on. The ninth, and lowermost Circle, is known as 'Treachery', and the sinners in that Circle are trapped up to their midsections in a bitterly frigid frozen lake, known as 'Cocytus'. This lake is said to remain frozen by howling gales that are generated when Lucifer, the angel said to have betrayed the Christians' God himself, beats his wings." Akari put a finger to his chin. "Come to think of it, the name 'Cocytus' also appears in Greek mythology, as one of the rivers of the Underworld. Interesting, that."

It was then that, all of a sudden, reality around the Persona-user began to distort like reddened static. Akari's expression changed into one of pure annoyance as his eyes half-closed. "Oh, for the love of--"

Clearly, the demon that was on Akari's mind from the onset was intent on screwing with him and, more than likely, everyone else.
The next thing Akari knew, he was in some sort of actor's dressing room, completely alone. "Well... I guess this wouldn't be the first time on this adventure that someone's wanted me for a show. Granted, there are no twins, no sentient pyramids, and whatever that demon guy's got planned may very well not be a magic show involving a crazed psychopathic biker, but I'm sure that it's going to be... something, alright." He said out loud to himself.

/I... do kind of like how he sounds like he's talking through an old transistor radio, actually... that's something you never see anymore. Granted, he's still a charlatan, nothing more, nothing less./ Akari thought.​

Akari decided to look around the room while he contemplated whether or not he should just pull up a chair and wait for something absurd and predictable to happen.

As Killua began to take a look around his own personal room, he would actually find what appeared to be Samurai armor hanging from a mannequin, which was complete with its own sword! The armor had also been perfectly tailored to his size. Now, if only he could perhaps remove it from the mannequin...

As Weiss looked around the room, she would actually find a marvelous ice sculpture of... well, her! It was about half of her height, but due to it sitting on a table in front of her, its eyes and head were perfectly level with her own.

Upon further examination of the room, Yang would unfortunately not find any promiscuous outfits to try on. What she did find, though, was a small box of what looked like sticky notes and letters. All of them had messages written on them, which appeared to be addressed to Yang. Did she dare read any of them?

When Frank stuck his hand inside of the severed mechanical head to reach for the remote, the head would suddenly spring to life with a loud, familiar laugh.



However, mid-way through the laugh, the machine slowly devolved and broke down entirely, slumping over slightly as a result. This (hopefully) left Frank free to grab the remote without much consequence.

In Akari's room, he would find the usual stuff you'd find in a dressing room. However, during his searches for unique items, he found...

A cute 'lil plush cat! And it was staring up at him with big, adorable eyes! Of course, it wasn't real, but it was still a cute plushie nonetheless!

The old man lunged back as the thing came alive, his weapon raised in an instant. He was about a half second from shooting the thing to pieces when it stopped, whirring to a halt like a children's toy with a dying battery. That laugh was yet another reminder of his start into this hellhole, the first in a long line of getting dragged across dimensions to fight other peoples' battles. It made him miss, more than ever, the simplicity of living in safe-houses and hunting criminals. Where before his doubts had been more a question of purpose, this just genuinely made him feel homesick. When it didn't continue to freak out, Frank finally reached up to grab the remote once more. This time, it was a bit more carefully.

Yang let out a sigh of relief. The last thing she needed to see was for Ruby to see her in such a dismal state. That said, she did find some messages that were issued to her. She approached the box and started reading through them.

— - — - —​

The ice sculpture of Weiss was a rather striking one. Not only did it look like a splitting image of the ex-heiress, but smaller details, like areas of her hair and finer details of her outfit, were captured as well.

"Someone must be that dedicated," Weiss said, further inspecting the sculpture. "Even got the tiara..."

Whatever the case, the ice sculpture was not the end of the story. Any way out, or at least something that could help her out, Weiss would appreciate it. So she continued looking around in the dressing room, trying to find something to look through.

 
Fuma

When Fuma finished applying badass demoness makeup palettes and was about to put them away, she noted the existence of a letter. "... Who is this from? Fuma has to read this. Fuma thinks it will be useful." She'll retrieve the letter instead of spending time with the books, open it if it's closed, and read it through all of its contents. It should be useful information...
