They got dumped in Liar Hell and found a warehouse called the "Idol Distribution Center." They're keeping everyone not on a program there in tubes. Says a dude called Shelfstocker's a dang moron who can't keep track of anyone.

I want to go there. I need to figure out how to get back.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

. . . You have someone you need to find, I take it.

[stakesthesame]

... Zrael's my family.

I can't just let some-- stupid demons maybe put 'em in tubes like they're just soda bottles in a Squeezy Mart fridge waitin' to get chugged.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Step one: You have to somehow slip from this dimension into Liar Hell or Vengeance Hell.

Step two: You'd need someone to help get you back. In Liar Hell, our favorite circus host still seems on our side. But the pickings are much slimmer in Vengeance Hell.

There's also the added complication of what happens to a zombified actor when they're forcibly taken from storage. Couldn't tell you the answer to that one.

[stakesthesame]

Sabre said they shoved Cap-- uh, Adora-- into the mail chute, and she ended up with Heart. I don't think anybody can be on this show without having a unit attributed to 'em.

They went through the mail themselves too, and she came in with the fanmail. So... we know that's possible, at least.

Only issue gettin' between Vengeance and Liars is givin' up a name to the train dudes, right? I got plenty of names to give.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Then if you can avoid Vengeance Hell altogether and stay in Liar Hell, that's probably your best bet.

Though technically the idol transfers are supposed to be handled by Bel's group. I don't know what that means if there is a large presence of them in Liar Hell.

[stakesthesame]

... Yeah. Sabre said they got in by saying they were working under that one.

Sorry for the late response

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

If you're serious about this, then you should ask them if they remember any landmarks outside of the building.

There were a lot of idols in Liar Hell. Maybe one of them will recognize the location and you can start piecing together a map. Will cut your mission time drastically if you don't actually have to find the place.

u good!!

[stakesthesame]

The less people I tell the better, though, and it isn't as if I wasn't there too--

[ a pause ]

You encouraging this was not how I expected this to go.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Oh really? And why is that?

[stakesthesame]

Uh, cuz it's a stupid idea and I'm likely to get barbecued again, probably?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I'd rather give you the information you need to minimize barbecuing than you going in blind. Dissuading people rarely works.

But also.

Don't nightmare vision any more fallen angels.

[stakesthesame]

I'm kinda lackin' in avenues of self defense in this place but I'll do my best.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Didn't ZRAEL also get a power upgrade?

[stakesthesame]

Well yeah, but none of it's gonna make him less angry.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Cannot believe he is even suggesting this]

What about Mind Crush?

[stakesthesame]

Operates on stuff like-- intent, or "conviction," whatever that means.

I'd have to know what those feelings are first, y'know? I can try to target something I'm assuming, but if I'm wrong... well.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I suppose "doing his day job" probably doesn't qualify then. Is that a conviction?

[stakesthesame]

Yeah, probs not. And breaking that would probly just make him lazy or somethin'.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Well then the only real advice I can give is stay away from anyplace that directly involves Thia or the war between Heaven and Hell. Since that warehouse only seemed medium guarded.

Idols are in infinite supply.

Angels, however, are not.

[stakesthesame]

[ she's quiet for a long moment before speaking again. ]

If-- I manage to find a way there... I should really try to find leads on Ellie, more than trying to drag people back onto the show. Yeah?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Why can't you do both?

[stakesthesame]

Mostly because I don't think I'll be able to carry everyone back, or that they'll wake up besides.

... I wanna look for them, though.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

So just start with one.

[Pulls out his phone.]

You want to see the pictures Kohime got of the place?

[stakesthesame]

Well, I-- I want to look for Ellie, too...

[ leans over though ]

Yeah, hit me.
