He rose an eyebrow at that, "What, you didn't hear his boss announcing he was sending Andras here to be judged by us? He was plenty loud enough for me to hear from here in the backlines. Either way, I also vote for execution. Balie, if you would."

He didn't need to ask twice, soon enough lightning was being flung into the fray. He was pleased to note Balie was pacing herself in case heals were needed.

Lost in the sea and towards a new port

I tried to follow after the others with the sleeper on my back. Pyro jack was casting agis down on other demons that even approached looking at me the wrong way, and then... Some person, shoved right into me. I lost the sleeper in the mess and was pulled towards the Chatwal Hotel... I was able to and barely I might add break away from the hoard humans and demons trying to force they're way in to the front doors and make it another building next to it. My plan and regarding how stupid it was might get me killed via fire, was simple. Grab fire extinguisher, have pyrojack keep casting agi at a wall until it either melts and explodes in ward, use extinguisher to put out initial flames and then use canister as makeshift weapon... That kinda worked, the wall detonated inward after a couple blasts and there was a fire spreading... I just realized what I did... Nihilo is gonna laugh his ass off when he finds this out. Anyway, there was a suit in the small office that had blasted my way into. They must have just been reloading their sidearm, a glock.... at least its full sized, when I set off Pyrojack. I could others looking in behind me as I checked the hall. Guns and fanatics and oh yes bdsm angels... lovely.

Some people from outside must have heard the commotion because they were there, pushing past me in a mad panic, and all I could hear was chaos erupt in the lobby.

"Listen to me... As your servant, I'll tell you this. Get as high as possible, cause do you think they're going to take this lying down?"

I nodded in understanding before racing out of the doorway and towards the stair well. I felt pain explode in my right leg as entered in. I was... below my right knee, blood was steadily pouring from a brand new bullet wound...

"Fuck me, this better be worth it." I hissed while readying the pilfered pistol and beginning my ascent.

Taranis Eite looked at Will, before giving him a brief but fleeting smile, "I suppose I did miss hearing that, though I don't seem to be the only one." He briefly looked at James Evans, "It seems despite your worries about me attacting that demon, all I did was attack it when it was coming to us. I suppose I should be glad for that. " He turned back towards Andras, "...If he manages to survive everything we have thrown at him so far, unlikely I believe, but I could very well be wrong. I do not know much about his capabilities, other than that he is apparently a demon of note..." He paused, "I wonder..." he looked down at his phone.

All while ordering Fate to keep throwing [HAMA] every few seconds, "...is the Demon Summoner Program capable of giving information on demons." Taranis Eite thought about it, he may not have played many games, but even he knew the basics of them, and what was held inside of his hands. Well, he could see that it was a tool meant to summon demons, how or why he did not know, unaware of many things, that others apparently did know. He looked DSP over, looking over the available functions, hopefully, ones which could help now, and maybe see if there were any locked functions. @Atma Warrior

Access Denied
=====================

Unfortunate for Kiara as she sees this. She sighs, apparently those insane cultists were right. She pulls up the map again on her phone, she had snapped a picture of it back at the square. Perhaps she could see about sneaking off somewhere more accepting.

The Paramount was the closest, so it'd probably be flooded by now. Instead, Kiara would head to the second closest, in the hopes that it wouldn't be so clogged.
One address stands out, One Astor Plaza. It is a similar distance away as the paramount building and is chaos aligned. The dot seems dimmer, indicating less of a presence there.

Extra notes: Well I guess were doing this now.

"well Uh, Morea, you think could-" "Already on it." She said as she let lose Zan at Andras, although worried, the birdman should be able to fall under a barrage of attacks, like so...I hope.

The barrage of elemental spells absolutely decimate the demon Andras. The initial bolts of lightning cuases various muscle spasms within Andras that ruin his sense of equilibrium in his limbs. The blasts of Zan carve gouges into the demon's gouge and he drops to his knees. The blast of Hama finishes and his remains disappear into light. Though the crowds don't seem to notice it as much as you do. The time is ticking, you must reach the safe havens and soon.

Taranis paused, "...From what very limited experience I have seen anyway, so how do you want to do this? I know myself well enough, that I can't lead." He was riding Fate, his summoned unicorn, having put away his phone and the Demon Summoner App into his pockets, ready and willing to listen now.

He nodded, "Alright, you take the front. Between the bulk of your mount and the horn you should be able to carve open a path for the rest of us. All the other humans plus Morea, centre of the formation. We want as much distance between us and hostile demons, and Morea is the only one here with a group heal so we want to keep her safe. Harla and succubus, to either side of the centre, blast anyone trying to flank us and use that flight to reposition as needed. Balie, bring up the rear, make sure nobody tries to jump us from behind."

This would've been easier if they hadn't lost Atma. He could only hope the walking firebomb made it through.

"Well, it seems that there is a fair bit of confusion down on the ground, uh?"

Loki's voice held a shimmer of laugh, as he brought me farther up

"It seems so, my Master. But it is a good distraction, isn't it?"

The barrage of elemental spells absolutely decimate the demon Andras. The initial bolts of lightning cuases various muscle spasms within Andras that ruin his sense of equilibrium in his limbs.

I noticed how the Andras demons got reduced into light after a series of attacks, removing another problem from the situation entirely.

"Well, then. Let's land on the top? So that we can see the end of the world from a vantage point."

Loki's laugh was loud enough to reach the streets.

I stayed in the group, Harla staying close to me make any hostiles that got too close fall asleep for the last time. "How close is the place Nihilo?!" I yelled.

Harla scowled as she looked around. "Do we have any idea where the Pyrojack and his summoner went?"

She smiled, it'd be enough. "Come Asmodeus, let us see just how much better these 'Ring of Gaea' really rare." She instructed, drawing a silent nod from the contracted demon.

The two would set out towards the plaza then. Hopefully it wasn't too crowded even with the lesser presence.

As you make your way into the entrance of the paramount, you feel multiple hands pulling you further into the building. Odds are that reagrdless of the chaos outside, the people trying to force themselves in seeing a lone child, would have acted on those ingrained social instincts. You see the front lobgby and multiple persons fleeing into various rooms, elevators and stairwells. You are safe from the coming hell... and you still have your phone on you.

@Nihilo @ForgottonFuture @Hikari @MedievalParadox
You arrive shortly thereafter with your demons in tow. Unlike before, your group can see several persons wearing Ring of Gaea clad garb milling about, some are smiling, others wrathful and a myriad of different emotions that may not want to ask about. Despite appearances and whether or not you choose to interact with the worshipers of chaos, You and your party are safe.

@Yuki no Yue
From the roof of the paramount building, you can see the chaos bellow in the city. Some may call it hell, but it is merely a prelude, nothing more. Loki motions for you to enter the roof top access door. You do so. From this point on, should you remain in the building, you will be safe.

@Dragonjackel
There is consideribly less people at the Astor Building than the Paramount and as a result, you can get in with greater degree of ease than the rest. This may or may not have been helped by Asmodeus's presence, deterring would be harassers from anything more than a halfhearted cry of concern. You are safe from the Conception.

@kinigget
From your approach, you can see signs of heavy fighting evident in the Chatwal Hotel lobby. Bodies of civilians, Messians, and demons are everywhere and significant blood trails can be seen in the stairwell entrances and elevator hall. You also notice a series of glowing patterns flicker on every surface. With each flicker, the patterns seem to fade. Something tells you that it would be best to reach a higher floor.

Getting inside, I'm less than happy with people pulling me inside, but oh well. Job's done either way.

Stretching out my limbs, I'm quite satisfied with how today has been. Sure, I'm not home, but no way of getting back either way so enjoying what I can is all I can do. Taking out my phone, I go and turn on the app and...why does it have a pixel image of Andras with Xs over his eyes? Ah, seems like it has a new message for me...


Burroughs Demons Summoning App; An Application for protection against demons with demons...

Your Demon has recently perished. Please reselect the options to summon a new Demon to replace the recently deceased.


...? What does it mean by that? Does it...no, couldn't be. Andras is strong, he couldn't be dead like those people on the streets, right?

Probably just a glitch with the app due to being so far from each other, but a welcome one since it lets me summon another murder friend! Going through the options, I eventually get to the part where I would summon a new Demon...before I realize that I'm still in the hall. Peeking into the various rooms to see if anybody's inside, I take refuge in an empty one before going through with the summoning.

And low and behold, the new friend arrives and...he looks much more human than Andras did. The strange man takes a bow before going on with, "It appears that I've been summoned. Quite peculiar, most would sacrifice thousands of lives in an attempt, but to think one would be capable of doing so without a drop of blood. While I do feel myself weakened due to such a faulty system, I find it funny that one would match myself so well as to be capable of such, now then-"

It's only at that point that the floating guy looked at me and he...looks somewhat stunned. He turns around before he mutters to himself about something. "Hmm, well that's odd, but I suppose this child seeks entertainment as much as me perhaps and that would be why I was summoned...No, it can't be just that, if it were so easy to align with mere goals, I would've been summoned many times over...Ah, perhaps..."

He then turns back to me. "Well then, child, my name is Mephisto. Now then, shall we go forth and attain an entertaining future for us both?" He then lands on the ground, not floating before holding a hand out to me with a grin on his face.

...Mephisto talks funny, but...that...that offer sounds great. Mephisto smiles as I take his hand and I say, "We shall."

Kiara sighed in relief, sitting down in a chair in one of the building's lobbies, Asmodeus standing above her like a watchful gargoyle. He was intimidating but with everything else happening Kiara was growing used to him surprisingly quick. She was just relieved that they'd gotten to shelter from whatever calamity was looming over them.

These Ring folks certainly were more inviting than the alternative, she supposed. Either way, now that she was safe, the foremost concern was to do her job. She'd look for whoever was in charge here, and offer her services. She was a therapist after all, and she doubted any of the civilians here weren't traumatized or shocked or troubled in one way or another in a situation like this.

He paused, "...And if you do not give us all that you know, this time, I will force it out of you...this seems to be as safe as we can get right now."

He shrugged easily, seemingly unconcerned with the threat in front of him, "Well, we got nothing to do but wait, so I might as well. You'll want to get comfortable for this one, it is a long one." He gave a moment to let everyone do as they chose with that, "First, we've been whisked away either into an entirely different dimension or forward in the timeline of our own. Given that several secret organisations are around and I know of games they were depicted in back in our would which were pointedly not suppressed, I'm confident it is the former. So that cousin of yours is safe a dimension away. Second, the one who played travel agent was in all likelihood Lucifer, going by the voice, we'll know for sure when we inevitably meet him after the Conception happens. That brings me to the third point, here in this multiverse, worlds have a limited shelf life, after a certain time they run out of juice and reset, turning most living beings within them into puddles of what could be described as raw emotions and last thoughts mixed with magic. After that, demons and other beings start coming out of the cracks, ex nihilo, from the space between worlds or from other worlds, I know at least some come from the second one but I'm unsure to which degree the other two apply. From that point what happens is that this fake moon appears in the sky. Survivors then go on to find a Reason, a core principle out of which to have the world's next iteration grow from, then they go about gathering an army of demons, collect as much of that raw emotion and magic liquid so they can summon what's called a Demonic Sponsor to give their Reason legitimacy, then finally fight it out with their fellow Reason-holders for the right of making the world anew. However's there's a third option. If all Reason holders were to be defeated and someone of sufficient will and power were to step up into the moon, which too must be defeated as a show of worthiness either way, then the world can be restored to how it was, everyone back to life and the world's energy stores topped off to ensure it'll last for a long, long, loooong time. I believe that's about it, do tell if there's anything else you want answered. As I said, we got nothing to do but talk for a while."

"In that case, we summon some more demons, persuade some others into our corner, then carve out a piece of land for our own. Secure supplies, fortify, the works. Then we'll be ready to deal with the shitshow that's the free for all between Reason holders, which we must make sure none win if we want for the world to be restored as it was."
I nod, something in the air making me feel a bit more safe here. Probably the fact this place should be safe from the conception. "Yep. If a Reason sponsered by the giant golden asshole or any of his avatars show up, they die. Hard. A world without free-will is horrible no matter if free will's death is from law or chaos."

Harla hummed. "Mistress, I suggest once we find a more private area, that our group should get to know each other, summoners should know of their demons, and vice versa."

I yawn. "Seems reasonable to me."

Taranis Eite blinked, and after hearing that massive informational dump could only say one thing..."So all I have to fix everything that is happening is to get a reason, and recreate the world into the state it was in before any of this happened, including any of us being sent five years into the future." He paused, "...I that all you are saying?" he 'deactivated' both his and the unicorn known as Fate combat stances, "...Well then, let's get this rolling." He looked at the cultists near, "I will be talking with those men and women now, I thank you for the information...and I still don't know your name."

"To recreate the world as it was, you don't need a reason. Although I suppose you could technically use that purpose as one." He shrugged, "Anyhow, name's Will. Yours? Sorry if you already introduced yourself, but things got rather hectic and I'm shit at recalling names."

Running!
still the best day ever!

As I follow the group into a building, I take the time to observe how my new best friend is dealing with all the people and things now trying to kill us. She's definitely putting those claws to use, but every so often she just...smiles at someone and they start fighting the rest of the crowd. "So you have, what? some kind of evil love beam?" I ask. The succubus simply smiles knowingly and doesn't reply. "Fine" I grumble "be that way why don't you. I don't suppose you can tell me anything useful?" "it's called Marin Karin" I double take a bit and stare at my smugly grinning demon "she speaks! What wonders have transpired here today! Ugh, let's just keep going. Should have known anything I summoned would be a brat." The succubus just keeps smiling as she floats.


From your approach, you can see signs of heavy fighting evident in the Chatwal Hotel lobby. Bodies of civilians, Messians, and demons are everywhere and significant blood trails can be seen in the stairwell entrances and elevator hall. You also notice a series of glowing patterns flicker on every surface. With each flicker, the patterns seem to fade. Something tells you that it would be best to reach a higher floor.

"seems our group wasn't the only one with this idea. Hey, Succubus, you know anything about the weird flickery shit?" The demon in question simply shrugs. "ah well, I don't like it, so we're moving up" And with that I start heading up the stairs.
 
Conception Has Come


There's a shift in air. It's almost inperceptable but... Suddenly there's a deafening crack of thunder and you all get the feeling that something horrible has happened.

@ForgottonFuture @Nihilo @Noob5674 @Hikari @MedievalParadox @Yuki no Yue
You all see a bright flash of light from the entrance of the lobby. Several Gaeans begin to back away, out of the corner of your eyes. More thunder followed by black lighting and the light consumes your vision.

@Dragonjackel
As the light overtakes the lobby you can just make several persons getting closer to you before the light blinds you.

@kinigget
As you open a door to a hallway, you see what can only be described as an absolute mess. Bodies of human and demons lay, there are some survivors amongst them and a Pyrojack looks at you with a warning look. As you close the door, the glyphs raise again and hold but do not flicker. A terrible light shines through the windows and you know no more.

@Nihilo @Hikari
The light recedes are you find yourselves in a dimly lit dinning room. Ornate would be an understatement as even in the low light its objectively beautiful. On the table there's an offering bowl with two circular objects inside. Suddenly a fireplace alits and you all can see twelve candelabras atop it. A woman's voice call out to you.

"Please sit, my master has been waiting for you."

@ForgottonFuture @kinigget @Yuki no Yue @Noob5674 @Dragonjackel
The light recedes to reveal a dark antechamber with multiple chambers hiding in the gloom. A man stands there peacefully and addresses you all.

"Welcome to the Cathedral of Shadows. It seems that fate has decreed your paths to be joined with demons... please step into the chambers at your leisure... you may not leave here otherwise."

His gaze lingers for a moment on one of you before staring off into ghe distance.

@MedievalParadox
The light recedes to a reveal a serene beach. You look around and see a man in a wheel chair staring at the waves cresting the shore. He addresses you.

"You've had a long road and even longer one still. Would you like to talk about it?"

<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>

*Ring, Ring*

I feel rain dance across me as I open my eyes. The hotel hall was gone, the bodies, Pyrojack, and just... a rain soaked battlefield. Something told me to flee before something happened, but battlefield, I recognized it. One step forward and I saw it, an egg shaped object and then... light shone forth...

I.....
