*while pyro is busy with ash*in, i look across the landscape, hearing the cries of damned souls. i turn to pyro*

"i remember him now. he accompanied me during the battle that destroyed my home. i havent seen him then until now"

*i make incoherent sounds similar to sobs*

"pardon me, i still havent managed to get past that. hearing the screams in here... it reminds me of the screams i heard while my men were slaughtered"

if you are interested, theres a wiki on forum fight. its heavily outdated though, except for a few articles
They see me rollin', they better run...

Oh, no, whoever Ash is here for is in the cell opposite Natasha's.

She's just there because it was the only place I could introduce her that wouldn't end up with me either wrecking Ash's entire narrative, or sparking a everyone-against-Natasha battle royale that, while entertaining, probably wouldn't be quite what everyone else is after at the moment.

She and the rest of the fighters--barring your character, that is--have a slight amount of history, you see.

Last time they met, there was bit of banter, a shenanigan or two, and about fifteen counts of attempted murder... you know, the usual.

(I'm not even confident she's actually going to be released when Ash*in and co reach the prison - which is the rest of why she's actually there. I want to see what people are going to choose)

---

It's really rather boring being a prisoner, you've discovered. If you were capable of empathy--or sympathy, for that matter--you might wonder if this was how some of those you captured for your master are feeling right now. Somehow, you doubt it. They're probably too busy screaming to be bored.

You'd try and talk to whoever's in the cell opposite to yours, but it's no fun being a sadist when you only have your words - Harbinger might be able to flay a man alive--figuratively and literally--with a few, carefully-chosen sentences, but you much prefer using your sword. You never make threats you can't back up, and, right now, being chained to this post has put a slight hamper on your ability to eviscerate somebody in front of their entire family.

Maybe somebody else would be disturbed by the casualness with which you consider the sort of acts that got you locked up in here in the first place, but quite frankly, you'd be more worried if you weren't. It's proof that your mind is still your own, and, really, that's one of the few things you care about these days.

And so, you hang there in silence, waiting for something interesting to happen.

Me: Hmm... Indeed however I do know this person is very much alive.

*I pick up someone attempting to pickpocket me by the neck. Not crushing his neck enough to choke him however still enough so he can feel some pain.*

Me: Although it may seem unlikely he's there... maybe even impossible. However...

*I then throw the thief quite some distance away. I then stretch my hand out to him and he stops in mid air.*

Me: The impossible does...

*I then flick my wrist and he goes flying into a nearby cliff.*

Me: Have it's way of happening.

*I look in the direction I threw the thief and I sense the prisoner I'm looking for. But I also sense something else. This something or someone feels familiar although haven't sensed them in a long time.*

Me: Could it be? Hmmm... I guess I shall have to investigate further.

*I look towards Very Mad Guy and Pyro.*

Me: Care to help me find this person? The statement below is false.
The statement above is true.

A crash resounds in the paradoxical hallway that meanders through the void beneath Hades. The unbounded blackness laps at the weightless door sealing the ShadowForger’s cell, heralding the subsequent ripples that spread from the feet of a visitor.

“Son of an Oceani! If I find that you drank any of that, you’ll find out that there are some things one should fear more than Death himself.” A husky feminine voice grumbles, stepping clear of the prison block’s door before it slams shut.

"Damn. I feel *****- and not in a fun way."

Footsteps and ripples cascade through the runoff of a world conceived in fire and shattered rest before at last reaching the entrance to Natasha Dæmondöttr’s ‘apartments’.

“Ooh. Kinky.” The voice continues, pausing as if expecting some sort of response. The lack of one seems to irritate the silhouetted figure further.

“You could at least say *Thank you Aylss for coming to visit me and relinquishing your favorite flask.’ Is that too much to ask? After all the trouble I go to in order to come down here you could at least show a little appreciation.” The she-elf mutters, waving her hand over the lock on the door before shoving it open.

Faltering light outlines the familiar form of Aylss Galadhir standing in the doorway.

“And you did*’t even leave a note.” The lavender haired technomancer whispers, sliding down into a sitting position, her skin tight accelerator suit’s mesh surface scraping against the none-too-smooth wall beside the door.

Aylss's hand reaches toward her waist, exploring empty space before dropping limply to her lap, fingers twitching slightly as her conscious mind remembers what she relinquished.

It takes Aylss another moment to come up with a different kinesthetic diversion: pulling A long knife from its sheath and setting to work on the edges with a sharpening tool.

“Got anything to say for yourself, child of shade?"

You laugh, low and husky; she glares at you, like a child embarrassed by their father, but that only makes you laugh all the harder. You can't help yourself - of all the people in this Creation, how could you have forgotten her ?

"Hey, roomie." Amusement flows through your voice like honey. "Fancy seeing you here."

"I could say the same to you," she shoots back, running the edges of a mono-molecular sander over the tapered point of her knife. "Look at you. The great Shadowforger, Scourge of the Seven Systems and puppy-kicker extraordinaire... tied to a pole. Did you take up shibari when I wasn't looking? Because, hey, if that's what you're into, you didn't need to look so far afield."

"You know me," you say, not quite laughing but somewhere near it, "always living life on the edge."

"I'll show you an edge if you keep being lippy," she says, pointing her newly-sharpened knife between your eyes. "It's bad enough that I don't have any alcohol; I'm far too sober to deal with you right now as well as the rest of this universe."

"Buckle up, cream puff." The haughtiness in your voice is at odds with your relative helplessness. Not that this surprises you - or your companion, for that matter. It would take a lot more than just imprisonment to bleed the arrogance from your veins. "Can't you just make more?"

"Well of course I can." She looks at you like you're an idiot - in other words, there's no change in her default expression. "But it's not the same. That was pomegranate wine - the very best Hades has! My synthesiser can't copy it properly."

"So you're telling me you have faulty equipment?"

"...shut up, Nat-Nat."

The conversation dies away after that, and the two of you sit in silence.

Well, she sits, at any rate.

You're a bit more of a hanging girl right now.

Ok time for me to write from the prisoner's perspective. All in the lead up to his rescue.

----------------------------------

While sitting in the dark I hear a voice coming from the other side of the hall way. I sneak over to my cell door. I position myself behind the hinges of the door so if someone barges into my cell at least I'd have the element of surprise. Ideally though I'd prefer not to have to fight considering the only weapons I have are the very chains that bind me to this cell.

I listen to a conversation between two ladies plotting an escape. No matter how quite they think they may be when your used to silence you notice when something is going on. Listening in I discover the visitor is a drunk named Aylss.

The prisoner seems to be named Natasha. However Aylss revealed a detail which interests me and potentially many others. She referred to Natasha as "the shadowforger". A name I've got on my list and boy does she have quite the price on her head. That being said Aylss would also give me quite the pay day if I could capture her.

As tempting as it maybe to get them to bust me out and double cross them latter it would most likely end with them attempting to kill me. Although I do have a habit of cheating death. It is how I got here after all. Still Natasha must have done something big to get the treatment she's getting. At least I am free to move through my cell. I guess I shall wait till someone eventually requires my services and busts me out.

(And there we have it my first post in a different style. Hope you've all enjoyed it. :P ) The statement below is false.
The statement above is true.

I was very confused by this sentence for quite a while, until I realised that you meant the prisoner was plotting his escape while listening to the conversation (as opposed to the conversation being about plotting an escape, which wouldn't have made any sense since it wasn't).

Still here, still reading. Still waiting? Who knows.

*The Pata*** 3 Gig*ntus theme plays quietly in the background*

(who knew, the forums still block some stuff for no reason. I'm sure you can fill in the gaps)

Pyro crosses his arm and puts a hand to his jaw in a thinking position. He thinks out loud.

I'd prefer staying on track and heading back to Infernus...

He glaces at his partner.
He's going with him, too... and I still need his assistance though...


Suddenly a muck of lava drips down by Pyro's side. Instead of the bulky titanic look, it shapes to a 6'foot humanoid. Instead of a club the usuals carry, it wields an obsidian staff and has what appears to be a beard completely made out of fire. It wisps in the air and hangs low. Pyro notices the titan. His own titan kneels to the figure.

Elder Aridius... eavesdropping on conversations again, are we?

Fires shoot out from Aridius' neck.
Yes, well, I couldn't help but over hear your situation. Don't you have another 200 years before the next renewal? Sure they will be dead by then, but at least help them in their lifetime. They most likely don't know their way around here either. I've also known you since the 10th renewal and I know you yourself don't fully understand the terrain. I owe you from the last favor you did for me, so why don't I guide you and your acquaintances?


Pyro glares at him in protest, thinks about it, then sighs. He wavers his hand as if to say 'fine'.

Aridius nods in gratitude walks to the edge of the island and stabs the floor with his staff. A rumble sounds and a huge fountain of lava shoots out from the river below. It solidifies in mid-air near the edge; spiral obsidian steps attach to the edge leading down. He waves his hand in a 'shall we?' motion.

Pyro picks his scythe out of the ground and shoulders it.

Showoff...
