[ claude just ignoring that charlie was like i'll help you, damb ]

Well, then, let's go.

[ to the spiral place i can't remember what it's called im eepy ]

[midway]

[ HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO REACT TO THAT....

OFF THEY GO! He seems really curious. ]

So the locations here are a mix of the other side, and different places...

[productionhell]

[ deal with it ]

Exactly. There's a hotel you can pick your own room at, if you want. And markets! There's really a lot to do.

[midway]

It's not that bad here, then.

[ He doesn't seem particularly excited, but that's fine. ]

So what do you do all day?

[productionhell]

It's nice, aside from on Thursdays. We are affected by the weekly things, though.

Well.... I spend a lot of time with other people.... I write letters sometimes, I train, um... I go to the kindergarten with Chaolie.... that sort of thing.

[ wee training area, the spinny rift ] Here it is.

[midway]

[ here they are!! ]

You train? How?

[productionhell]

You just need to step into the ring and a simulation will start. I, ah well, it's new to me, but I can show you if you want?

[midway]

Sure. I'm curious to see what you're like when you're not being sweet.

[productionhell]

Well... I don't think it's going to be very exciting. I don't like fighting.

[ but okay you can watch her beat up fake people ]

[midway]

[ does she become all demon-y ]

[productionhell]

[ she takes a deep breath, and yes.... becomes all demon-y like when pentious died. manifests a trident. random mooks show up and start to swarm her. she....... hits them with her trident instead of stabbing them ]

Sorry!

[ it turns out she's all sweet when fighting too ]

[midway]

[ help... tries not to laugh as he watches this ]

[productionhell]

[ he can laugh. ]

[ one of them nails her in the arm with a knife because she's so busy apologizing ]

Oh, shit..... not again....

[ she is bad at this ]

[midway]

Ah- are you injured?

[ should they stop? ]

[productionhell]

[ there's no visible injury but as per the location it still hurts like she got stabbed so you know. ]

I-It's fine....

[ smacks the simulation guy with her trident ]

S.... Sorry......

[midway]

[ CHARLIE ]

... Maybe you should stop while you're ahead.

[productionhell]

I really do need to practice, though...

[ but she steps away and stops the simulation, sighing ]

[midway]

Why? Expecting an attack?

[ he hasn't forgotten what she said about heaven, but he will let her elaborate ]

[productionhell]

In the middle of one, actually.

[ awkward ]

If I go back, I have to stop Adam.

[midway]

[ . . . ]

"If"?

[productionhell]

If... God lets me go back I guess.

[ .... ]

[midway]

Why wouldn't you be allowed?

[productionhell]

Well... I'm not exactly like the rest of you. Redemption might not be possible for me.

[ ... ]

But there's no need for you to worry about any of that. I'm sure you have your own problems.

[midway]

Is that what you were told?

[ ... ]

[productionhell]

Does it matter?
