[they are no longer roomies so unfortunately that's not an option but if kuranosuke looks up, he can probably like. see chandra chilling high up on a ledge or something WHEREVER THEY ARE IN THE VOID...........]

[ontrend]

[whoa, he's sure pretty high up there......]

Yo, Chandra! How's the weather up there?

[astika]

[looks down]

Better than being stuck down there with all of you.

[ontrend]

Wooooowww. Telling it like it is, as usual!

[he seems amused, though.]

It's good to see some things never change.

[astika]

[he shrugs, from way up here.]

Did you think anything would?

[ontrend]

Well... you never know! Being in hell is, like, an experience. There could've been plenty of stuff going on for you guys that I didn't know about.

[astika]

Not really. Well, a human like you might've taken issue with all the violence and killing over on this side, but it was arguably more "normal" than the weekly farce for the pseudo-living.

[ontrend]

...so you guys didn't have trials, then? Lucky.

[astika]

Nope.

Though with your arrival to this side, it seems they're implementing more penalties. Still more tolerable than the pointless song and dance of the trials, at least.

[ontrend]

...I wonder if this is what the, like, regular hell experience is supposed to be then... since we were only being held separately from the rest of hell temporarily, right?

[astika]

Well, Lavi did still get jailed for killing some demons, so it's not as if wanton murder was approved before this either. But yes, this is the "real" Hell—the previous dimension everyone was in before was just the introductory grounds, so to speak.

[ontrend]

Was it like that for everyone? Like... the others who are in hell that we weren't with before?

[astika]

If you're talking about the handful of denizens who're a bit nosier about us than the others, they're just that—other residents of Hell from back whenever they died who didn't receive the chance to revive, from what I gather.

[ontrend]

Huh... I wonder if they had a "waiting period" like we did too. Guess I'll have to ask 'em.

[astika]

Maybe, maybe not. They've tried out different systems over the years, apparently.

[ontrend]

...I guess it makes sense that hell would change just like anywhere else...

[astika]

Honestly, the systems in this version of Hell are so human-like that it's ridiculous.

[ontrend]

What other systems have they tried?

[astika]

I don't know the specifics.

But it says much of what you need to know about how things are run here that Satan says he applied for the job with a resume.

[ontrend]

...what the hell? That's weird. That's really weird!

[astika]

[tiredly,]

I know.

[ontrend]

And you've had to live with this knowledge for weeks...

[astika]

Well, yes. In general, Satan has been... underwhelming.

[ontrend]

That doesn't sound like the word you want to use to describe him.

[astika]

He seems kind of pathetic, frankly.
