The 12th Circle
« on: August 16, 2020, 03:45:36 am »


You feel yourself laying on something cold and rough. As you try to make clear of what is blurred within your sight. You found yourself surrounded by the pitch black void. There is no light source anywhere but the glowing floor that exposed the other people in that place. A skeletal person walked up to them, though it is unclear if he had actually walked to them due to the lack of footstep sound. The skeleton greets them.


"Greetings... Fresh meat... Welcome to the 12th circle, Your first time will cause you such feelings so fret not. My name is Xil, if you wish to know more, i suggest you ask this instance."

Ray's hand instinctively jumps to his smartphone. In addition to protecting him from whatever threats make this college so dangerous, its mundane use as a cellphone means that it can provide a source of illumination in the darkness. Unclear if it needs either function at the moment he simple keeps a hold of his magical device inside his pocket ready for use the instant he needs it.

"Hello...old bones. I'm Ray. Ray Williams. It is a pleasure to meet you. Are you part of the staff here?"

At the sound of speech, Alfa darts behind Ray, the only nearby obstacle likely to hide him, and appears to be striving to keep as much of himself up away from the floorlight as possible. Ironically, once he sees the speaker and fully processes that it's a skeleton, he relaxes slightly, because this kind of mundane weirdness is nothing he wouldn't have expected. Still, he's not about to trust someone he doesn't know just because it's a skeleton. (At some point it will probably occur to him that Ray is also a person, and he'll have to figure out how to hide from him while hiding behind him, too.) He does, though, feel comfortable enough with skeletons to try talking to one.

"Cou - could you say that again? I don't think I c-caught that name. Was it Chill or tw-Twelve?"

Nor wakes up on the stone floor, before listening from there. After the person hides behind Ray, she floats up, light drifting from her wings.

"12th Circle, supposedly a place where one gains much power, if they survive the experience anyway. My name is Nor, and I suppose you are the guide?"

"I'm not one of the staff unfortunately, i'm just here to welcome newcomers so they don't get lost on their first appearance."

"It's X I L, my necromaster named me such. Trying to be in touch with the young ones, so that imbecile named me with obnoxious cryptic latin words... or something similar to that i suppose."

"12th Circle, supposedly a place where one gains much power, if they survive the experience anyway. My name is Nor, and I suppose you are the guide?"




"Indeed i am. I'll guide you to the first classroom and introduce you with other attendants in this area."

As XIL was about to wrap up his introduction another person materialize from the ground and then tossed out from there.A giant lizard and a female djinn.


"Huh.. that's quite odd, it's not usual that portals open up the second time. Ok, who are you new meats?"


"What the.. Get off of me you insolent..."


"Ha WHA!!? THIS PROVES IT. GOD HAS NOT ABANDONED HIS SERVANT FOR I AM STILL PRESENT!!."


".....
This predicament is not something i would bother with... Listen, why don't 3 of you start explaining to those 2 fresh meat what i had just told you.... Then we can get a move on?"

Alfa, after first being surprised to learn that the tiny winged bug covered in plant is a people, has a polite go at attempting to pronounce "Xil", but gets it wrong. "C...can I just call you Chill?"

At the point when the newcomers arrive, though, he diverts all attention from the conversation to wide-eyed staring. He particularly can't decide if he wants to hide from the giant lizard or attempt to befriend it so he can ride it around like a horse. He almost completely ignores the skeleton's last request (no pun intended) in the process, but ultimately does manage to force out, without pauses, "H-hi this is ch-Chill the greeter we're following him now."

Nor huffs, before floating over to the Djinn.

This, as was explained before you got here, is the entrance area for the 12th Circle. For newcomers I guess. If you have questions, you can ask the skeleton over there, Xil. My name is Nor, nice to meet you.

"The other two seem a bit jumpy. Humans." she mutters.

"Lizard, I would suggest getting off them."

“Yeah what uh, that guy said” Ray answers pointing to the man behind him with his free thumb. “That is about it. He honestly could have just told you that in the same effort it would have taken to ask us to do it for him. Oh, and I’m Ray by the way. Pixie calls herself Nor.”

Ray whispers back “Maybe he just doesn’t like the pious lizard? Many religions find undead to be abominations, so I’ve heard. It’s possible he wants to limit the aid offered directly to them for that reason.”

"I think that would qualify him as a 'furry'. Same issue but with more religions."

Nor glaces at the whispering humans. They don't seem to know anything about magic if one of them would call her a pixie. She doesn't scatter dust everywhere after all.

This, as was explained before you got here, is the entrance area for the 12th Circle. For newcomers I guess. If you have questions, you can ask the skeleton over there, Xil. My name is Nor, nice to meet you.

Ray whispers back “Maybe he just doesn’t like the pious lizard? Many religions find undead to be abominations, so I’ve heard. It’s possible he wants to limit the aid offered directly to them for that reason.”


"What!? XIL? HERESY!! THAT'S AN UNDEAD!? BY THE LIGHT OF TUHAN, SHALL HE PURGE YOU FROM THIS REALM." Says the lizard man after raising his pendant of religion artifact towards the boney presence... It's not doing anything. The other person noticed other living breathing life form besides her. She then greet and meet with them.


"Ugh... that idiot can't shut his mouth for a second." She grumbles. "Hello, by the way. The name is prom. nice to meet you too... small creature thing..." The female djinn greets back in confusion trying to figure out what kind of creature the small thing is.



After a while, another person soon to appear as the the sound of footstep grew closer towards the fresh meats. A man shrouded in strange looking tattoo and piercings stare at them extremely menacingly. His pupils inside his eyes start to glow. He muttered.

"A new apprentice has arisen from the world, Curious as they seek. No hope shall befall them. Lest they learn the knowledge they seek without knowing true despair." The man start speaking in a bizarre manner.


"Uh.. Vaco, Why are you here? You're supposed to be teaching at this time?" XIL then asked his presence in confusion.


"The time calls for this soul to witness these new apprentices. A similar fate will befall onto these poor wanderer if their soul is not prepared. To spare such tragedy. This method of test shall prove them of their worth." Answers Vaco.



As Vaco raise his fingers A rune circling around the participants neck appears. It materialize some type of collar contraption, even on the small creature. It's completely tight and seem to not have any type of safety feature that allows the participant to normally detach it from their body. The collar is ticking.


"What the.. WHAT THE HELL IS THIS!?" Prom shocked from what Vaco did to the rest of the party.


"To prevent the sorrow that will befall upon you. This device shall put one at ease in a swift pain. You will not suffer a more horrid torture than this method. You will prove your worth by disarming the bomb inside the collar." Answers Vaco towards Prom.

After realizing that, the purple fellow panics in shock and hurry herself to remove the death ticking device that stuck itself on her neck. She's sweating but to no avail of detaching it. It's likely that any physical attempt at removing such device would result in failure. Even the blue lizard had no success in his attempt. He then continue to dialogue with Vaco.


"... Fool.. You're bluffing!! There's no way for one to materialize such device. Only god have the power to do such. I will not fall into your scheme." Points blue lizard guy at Vaco.

After trying to remove it, Prom felt as if there's a hole similar to that of a keyhole and something written around the collar device. Prom tries to look at it though unfortunately for her she doesn't know any neck bending spell that would allow her to look at the text that is written on the device.



[Current Objective: Disarm the bomb collar]
