Powers Quest (Original/The Gamer) [Sort-of Hiatus]

[X] Opera? Sing. Sing to the conquering sky. It's saved you from pretty much every other dangerous situation you've encountered. You hardly doubt today will be different.

:p

Good to see this again, It's been a while.

.1.44.
So about 10 for getting up, and 7 for perving at the sky like some sicko. You freaks.
As to this mini-arc (although you guys will probably somehow push it to an epic quest), it may seem weird or hard, but remember: you are a wannabe villain in a Silver Age-style world, with a fairly decent understanding of how your messed-up comics-based world works. Abuse it.( Or give up and burn a Token, whatever.)

.1.44.

Testing your limbs carefully, you push yourself upright, making sure to Observe what little you can see. 'Demonic Sky' is an interesting descriptor of, well, the sky. 'Demonic Desert' is an even less informative name for the slightly-reddish sandscape surrounding you, dunes visible even into the far distance.

From the 'demonic' in both titles, you suspect you may have ended up in what appears to be somewhere heavily resembling Hell.

Damn. Isn't this 'flung into a hell dimension' crap only meant to happen to heroes? This is ridiculous! And highly inconvenient! You glare at the sand for a few moments (Observe helpfully points it out as 'demonic sand', great, thanks for that), and consider the circumstances.

1) Your supposed ally seems to have done something very un-ally-like and has, by accident or design, thrown you into some kind of other dimension. Which is, apparently, demonic in many ways. And sandy.

2) A quick check of your phone finds no signal - not a surprise - and that it's apparently twenty minutes later than your meeting with her, so you probably weren't unconscious for too long.

3) You have sand everywhere. Ugh.

4) On the bright side, you also don't need to eat or sleep. So there's that.

... Now what the hell (excuse the pun) are you meant to do to get home, so you can punch that witch-doctor in the damn face?

[X] Curl up and cry.
-[X] While singing sad songs.
--[X] Eventually create a song so sad that this strange reality will simply eject you back into you're one to escape the sadness.
---[X] If this fails, explore.
 
[X] Stay there - you can figure this out...
-[X] Look around to see if anything came with you. Or if you can find evidence of anything landing here before.
--[X] While singing sad songs.

If nothing else we might gain a search skill or an investigation skill. That might be useful.
Edit: added singing, cause why not.

We have an inventory right? It's been awhile.
 
[X] Pick a direction.
-[X] Down, you don't need to breath (probably) and you don't want to encounter any demons walking around so just start digging.

Lets take this (vaguely) serious guys, based off of the AN this is gonna be a difficult arc. Lets activate our genre savyness and power up our song banks. And if all else fails, head west.

Everything is in that direction, always.
All shall be well and all shall be well and all manner of thing shall be well. All shall be well and all shall be well and all manner of thing shall be well. ALL SHALL BE WELL AND ALL SHALL BE WELL AND ALL MANNER OF THING SHALL BE WELL SHALL BE WELL. ALL SHALL BE WELL. ALL SHALL BE WELL. SHALL BE WELL. SHALL BE WELL. SHALL BE WELL. SHALL BE WELL. NOT POSTPONED. NOT IN THE END. NOT FOR LONG.

----[X] Sing the different variants of the Doctor Who theme, trying to get your voice to recreate the sounds of different instruments.

Do you guys think we should put on the evil looking armor? Maybe the demons will think we're one of them if we do.
have we ever trained in combat? I think we might want to now that we are in a hell
Unfortunately, no. I don't think we even have a weapon.
