First Summons [Video | Text | Action for New Bark Town]

[shallbeavenged]

[The first thing that was wrong was that she woke up in a strange place. And trying to teleport away did nothing. Which was probably why she was shuffled out of the door with a backpack by the strange women who kept calling herself mom. It didn't take Ai long to realize that something was very wrong.]

[So, locating a tree she climbed up and started to investigate her bag. After a while finding the Pokegear and poking around at the maps for a bit. Well wherever she was, it wasn't Japan, or her world of twilight. And unless the Lord of Hell had decided to redecorate, this wasn't Hell. So she was trapped somewhere else then. ...alive for some reason and without any of her powers.]

[Video]

[An accidental one as she's just poking around on the device. So have a small girl with black hair and red eyes in a tree, looking around and very confused. Before noticing that it seems to be recording and quickly trying to turn it off. It may take her a few moments but she eventually gets it.]

[Text]

[Well she's managed to figure out that yes you can talk to people on this thing. So...texting is better]

Where am I? And how do I get home?

I have duties to attend to. I am not allowed to miss them.

[Action: New Bark Town]

[You can find Ai slowly getting out of a tree. Looking warily about as if she expects to be attacked at any moment. Hey, with her luck you never know]

There always has to be a price. When they die, their soul shall also belong to Hell.

[used_realtears]

Do people really hate other people that much? I mean, there can't be that many people who want to do that, right?

[So much shock and horror]

[shallbeavenged]

Many.

I have been doing this for over four hundred years.

[used_realtears]

So you're not really a little girl? [His expression is mixed horror and sorrow now.]

[shallbeavenged]

[Her face is just emotionless.]

No. Not anymore.

[used_realtears]

[Not anymore...? That's even worse. He's close to crying now.]

H-h-how did you get that kind of job?

[shallbeavenged]

[Traumatizing people, it's almost like home.]

The Lord of Hell picks you.

[used_realtears]

[Mmm delicious trauma.]

You can't just say no? Even if you're a little kid?

[shallbeavenged]

No.

[A bit of a lie, you can say no, but in her case that would have sent not only her to Hell but her parents souls as well. There is always a price.]

[used_realtears]

[...]

That must be so terrible for you...

[shallbeavenged]

[Deadpan look.]

What I think doesn't matter.

[used_realtears]

Of course it does! Why wouldn't it matter?

[shallbeavenged]

Because it won't change anything.

[used_realtears]

How do you know that? There could be a way out!

[shallbeavenged]

[There's a pause and you see a slight emotion on her face, annoyance. But it's gone just as quickly as it appeared]

Because there isn't one.

I know that.

[used_realtears]

No...there's always a way! There has to be! [He seems to be more convincing himself than her now...]

[Gentlemen, I give you a demonstration of what happens when a light-hearted, optimistic series clashes with a dark, heavy one.]

[shallbeavenged]

You speak of things you do not understand.

Not all stories have happy endings. And everything, has a price.

[used_realtears]

B-b-but your story hasn't ended yet! You're still alive! So your story isn't over!

[shallbeavenged]

I died years ago.

[used_realtears]

[Another pause]

Even if that's true, you're alive here! Aren't you?

[shallbeavenged]

Yes, I am here.

[used_realtears]

S-s-so you have a second chance here, right?

[shallbeavenged]

To do what?

[used_realtears]

To...to live! To have a good life like you should have!

[shallbeavenged]

[Looks at him blankly]

I have nothing to live for. Everyone is dead. And my assistants aren't here.
