[ he's just kind of standing there, bleeding all over the place again. ]

...Uh, I think I'll take that vial now, if you don't mind.

[ Daigo......

Neither Kiryu nor Bas can really help you with the Telelectroscope in terms of describing what it does. However at least the problem of turning it on seems as simple as a literal switch to be hit. ]

Of course.

[ she's going to give the vial to daigo first.

and then... ]

I am going to try this.

[ hits the switch... ]

[ can daigo get away with drinking half the vial or is it all or nothing? either way he wants to stop bleeding so you know. ]

Hmm. What good did that do, you think?

[ Basilio is just looking over the weird machine and wires, doing a funny pose to squint at it. What if I came over to your house and did this with you... The machines comes to life with a hum, electricity thrumming in the air. Eupha can feel it. Something guides her to perceive with her third eye.

Kiryu looks at the switch being turned on then at Eupha and Daigo who is recovering. It is a consumable item so I guess you will simply have to drink the entire thing. Use your cloth strips to stem your bleeding, all this thing does is recover your actual HP value. So I guess it's like drinking a Red Bull in that sense. What if this was all just Red Bull this entire time? ]

Did the body have anything?

There were some letters... and a key.

[ she shows the key to everyone.

when she looks at this machine with her special eyes, can she see what it's doing? ]

[ daigo consumes whatever 5 hour energy drink this is. his hp is restored so he won't just pass out and die right here on the floor (hopefully).

anyway he's useless this round. ]

Looks to me like the same eagle that's on the city gates.

[ Perhaps this is the item you need! Or at least, this is the item they need. Don't know about you guys, you should probably get out of here instead of staying overlong in this hell. Conveniently Eupha will be able to tap into her mind's eye, her Hacking Eye, and see an onslaught stream of code flowing down the Telelectroscope, which I normally just call the TES because trying to type that every single time gives me an aneurysm. There also seems to be a line of it passing through the floor, guiding her to the strange room to the south in the same space.

Kiryu just stands there occasionally looking at Daigo. He doesn't know how to make small talk. ]

Truly? Then we are one step closer to where we wish to be.

[ a hopeful smile.

and then her gaze wanders, following the codes and lines that only she can see. ]

I wonder where this leads?

[ where what leads. she follows it to the south room and takes a look inside. what do we have here? ]

[ kiryu has a single marble for a brain and daigo just isn't a talkative guy in general, but you know. he hits kiryu with a ??? glance because dude serioisly why are you looking at him.

he's happy to have an excuse to break away and follow eupha instead. ]

Hey, where are you going?

[ The code lines lead her to the strange room, which has some unlit candles, books, and perhaps interestingly, a pre-drawn ritual sigil in the middle of the room, but instead of the sigil of Rher as seen image, it's something considerably more traditional. For a brief moment, Eupha feels like she can see a glowing pink butterfly hovering over it that flutters away the moment they enter. Someone's sweet guiding hand was here...

There is an Otherworldly power that's thick in the air of this room. ]

Is this... a place for a ritual?

[ she'll take a look at the books to see if there are any clues to the room's purpose. ]

Something's going on in here.

[ hm. vibe is weird.

would we recognize this as a pentagram and thus a symbol of evil party overloard satan? ]

Edited 2025-03-20 00:27 (UTC)

[ Eupha can find a book on Satanism I suppose. It tells her the sigil there is called a Pentacle, and defines the difference between a pentagram and a pentacle. The excerpt about this turns into an extremely long dissertation. The person writing this was immensely passionate about this topic. Either way you understand that this sign is definitely linked to Hell. It says that you should draw the sigil on a ritual circle to communicate with that particular deity and its realm, but fortunately for you somebody has already pre-drawn it.

Daigo, if he does intrinsically have knowledge, or uses his cop knowledge as Triceracops, can recognise it as the symbol of evil party overlord Satan. ]

A symbol of Satan... Can we reach his realm using this?

[ does her hackervision tell her anything more? ]

[ Just gives this to you rq while Kelsey is driving home, definitely not in a shoe car.

Eupha's hackervision shows a whooole lot of 6's filling this room, condensing over the ritual circle itself. It definitely does seem like it is a way you can reach Satan's realm for sure! ]

... I shall try hacking.

First... [ she'll take the key and hand it to basilio. ] You should take this. If we are able to reach Hell, then I very much hope that you will reach your destination as well.

[ and then, she will use her keyboard to try to activate this sigil, to try to open a way to the realm it is connected to...

can she do it? ]

Thanks. This thing'll get you up to where you need?

[ Eupha can HACK INTO THE CIRCLE!!! They also could've touched it but this does have a funny energy to it because Basilio is very intently watching her KEYSMASH WITH INTENT. It practically rips apart from the center, showing those familiar cool 80's gridlines again to show a terrible dimension hole. You're looking down at something familiar. It's Wis'adel and Saber! Literally on a shoe-shaped car.

Cool. ]

Sounds like this is it then.
Thanks for your help. Good luck in Hell.

[ You get a sense of camaraderie from your short heist together... perhaps you can even call upon their help (Archetype: Berserker and Essence of the Dragon God in future endeavours. Sorry I'm not linking one for Basilio because YouTube is SO IMMENSELY LAWLESS with Metaphor spoilers, I'm not doing this again. ]

It surely will. Basilio, Kiryu... Thank you for everything.

[ she looks to daigo. ]

Shall we be off?

[ into the dimension hole... to regroup with the... shoe-car?? and then, to hell. ]
