[IC] Lords of the Underworld

"I'll try, but being open is not a strong suit." Luther said, relieved that she didn't know everything. He looked over the equipment, taking a count of them in his head. "Alright, where do you want me to start?"

[KatherinWinter]

Along the outside. Probably best to start with the front. Katherin told him. She was relieved that he was willing to try. It was a strange situation for all of them. They would have to try to be patient with each other.

[sheeplon]

Luther nodded, taking some equipment and a camera, absently looking over the latter. There was enough things he had to carry that he would probably only be doing one camera at a time, but that was fine. It's not like he had anything better to do.He started walking towards the main entrance, "...You know, I never believed there was really a demon in me until my boyfriend broke up with me because of nightmares. Really, I'm just starting to accept it. Should we send someone to get more cameras?"

[SniperWolfv]

Dante grabbed some of the camera equipment And brought them to Luther. "I don't really know much about this stuff but I can take it to where you need it." He said carrying a huge load of wires and a few cameras.

[sheeplon]

"Thanks man." Luther was a bit surprised to see Dante helping him, but accepted it. He gestured at a few places for Dante to put the cameras. "We're going to need a room to hook all of these up to eventually." He finished setting up one of the cameras, the wires resting on the floor going to nowhere. "That can be taken care of later, though." He added, talking to himself more than anything.

Sven walked in with a worried face, he seemed pale and sweaty with his teeth shattering. Walking in on the others he nodded as he looked around.

[SniperWolfv]

I'll be right back." Dante said. He ran to his room and grabbed his gloves that he retrieved from his house. He walked over to Sven and gave him the gloves. "Here these should be good for you. I use to have a bike but some guy hit when it was parked so no more bike." Dante told Sven. The gloves were slightly thin black leather gloves. "You don't look to good dude. Are you okay?" he asked curiously.

[manapool1]

Sven nodded as he managed to put on the gloves without touching dante's hands. He managed a smiled from his face before sitting down

[KatherinWinter]

Katherin wandered around her castle. She was still trying to learn her way around. She needed to think of away to get the small group of them to be closer. They were going to be depending on each other alot in the years to come.

[SniperWolfv]

Dante looked at Sven as if he knew he was lying but figured if he didn't need help now then he should return to helping Luther. He laid the wiring and cameras around the castle for Luther to hook up. as he was travelling around the house he found he could still feel Delilah's demon pulling on him. He couldn't tell if it was an echo from before or if he just couldn't stop thinking about that moment knowing the only think stopping him from kissing her was the pain. He walked over to Luther. "Hey, Um I am going to lay down. My head is a little foggy right now." Dante said walking to ward the great hall. He felt strange and he needed to just rest. "You feel that Dante? that is the price of resisting a demon. you are going to throw up now" Pain said then laughed. Dante busted in his room and hung his head out the window and threw up. He felt dizzy and light headed. He walked over to his bed and collapsed. He fell asleep on his bed dizzy and still hearing the echo of Promiscuity.

[sheeplon]

Luther, having just finished setting up one of the cameras, barely took the time to look at Dante while going to another camera. "Alright, thanks." It was nice that he wouldn't have to constantly make trips for the equipment.

[manapool1]

Sven stood up and looked over luther. "need help" the boy said meekly. withdraw was something that he knew would fade but it felt like a nightmare just to deal with at the moment. He didn't want to burden the others with his issues so he wouldn't tell them.

Delilah crept out of her room with a pillow, the pillowcase was full of odd items. She wasn't sure of what she planned to do, but with her messed up head, it could be anything. She made her way up stairs, through corridors and hallways. Soon she ended up in an old room, possibly a lounge. It was far away from the others, and so she liked it more. She emptied out her pillowcase and laid her pillow on the floor, lazily resting her head on it.

"Life....sucks." She muttered, looking through her pile of junk and searching for her phone. What she didn't expect, was a talk with Promiscuity. Her head became foggy, a single voice clouding out her surroundings, Deiliah felt blinded. Life does not suck, it's beautiful. My work sometimes creates life, when lovers find their way, whether it be accide- "Please shut up, I've already had the talk." Delilah whispered, covering her ears as though that would stop the voice in her head from speaking up. It hurt her, for reasons she could jot explain. She wondered if Dante had been right, she wondered if her demon was controlling her. No, Delilah thought, she was being controlled by her demon, and she did nothing about it. Because you don't want to, admit it, you have always wanted this. "La la la, I can't hear you." Delilah struggled to disagree, fought hard to shut her demon up. But, she couldn't, memories flashed before her eyes; some of them reminded her of lustful thoughts and others just showed her people. Why? She didn't know. They were family members, friends, people she had only peeked at on the street, Dante? Even Luther seemed to show himself.

See them? They are all easy victims, you can have them. All of them. Listen to me, Delilah, listen and learn It was now clear, that Delilah could hear the intoxicating sweetness of Promiscuity's voice, sweet...but harmful. She knew the Demon's purpose, and she could have hit her head on the ground, it was so clear and obvious. It would hurt her, if she wasn't careful, and if she did not listen, it would control her more than she could handle. She would be nothing, barely more than a shell of what she was now. "I-I'll listen, but not now, not with my friends. Just please...be quiet." That was all she wanted, really. She wanted the demon to shut up, and be happy, satisfied for once. I will be quiet, for now, and I will let you rest. Once you are done, go and be social. I'd like to see you have more interaction...so I can pick our victim. With those few words, Promiscuity was gone, Delilah was left in a clearer daze, and she started to rest, because why not? What else could she do? Approach the others? No, that was for a later time, for now she could only listen.

Dante found himself in his head again. It was dark and silent. He brought himself to his feet. "Hello!" he called.
" Hello Dante welcome back." Pain said, the voice echoing in the darkness.
"Why am i here again?" Dante said looking around. The demon laughed.
" This is where you will come when your body needs to recover. Whether it be from a bad sickness or a injury. Your mind will come here while I make repairs to our body." the demon responded.
"I wouldn't want to end your joy ride." Dante responded sarcastically.
"Oh Dante how I love your sense of humor. That is why I picked you." The demon said laughing.
"I am so glad I provide you with entertainment." Dante said sitting down on the cold dark floor.
"You did a number on yourself resisting that girl. You should have just gave her what she wanted. It would have been a lot easier then twisting our insides. Me and Promiscuity go way back. She is a fun one." Pain said chuckling.
"Sorry I am more of a romancer." Dante responded disgusted by the demon.
"Who said it was only physical. Demons can break bonds if we want to. We make those rules for you to follow and we have our own. Me and promiscuity destroyed many lands together. Troy was a fun one." Pain responded.
"You are telling me you are responsible for the fall of Troy? Not the Greek gods?" Dante asked curiously.
" Ah sparked you interest huh?" The demon laughed. "Well yes. Promiscuity loved weak men like Paris and I hated the Greeks. Worshiping the weather and luck. Do you think there would be gods for that crap?
"I guess not." Dante responded.
"Anyway so we combined out powers. I possessed Achilles the great warrior. You know he never even knew I was there inflicting pain on his enemies so he could slay them." The demon laughed. " Promiscuity had made Paris infatuated with the beautiful Helen we organized everything. Then while the city was in ashes we made love over the falling city. The sounds of screaming fed our love. Then we became damned to humans and fell apart.[/]" The demon went silent.
Dante actually felt bad for the demon, but then realized they destroyed a entire city for nothing. "I would feel bad for you if you weren't evil." Dante said with a smirk. The demon laughed.
"[i]Times up." As the demon finished talking Dante snapped awake. He found himself starving. He needed to eat so he headed for the kitchen and prepared a meal for everyone. He made pancakes, waffles, french toast, bacon, eggs, scrambled and sunny side up, biscuits, gravy, cinnamon buns, fruit salad, and fresh squeezed orange juice. He called for everyone to come to the dinning room after setting the table with the food and silver wear.

Luther had shocked himself on a cord, and balled his hand in a fist while muttering expletives under his breath. He looked at Sven, and shook his head. "...Kid, you know you look terrible. Now I ain't pressing you for details but if you need to go lay down then go." He sighed, looking over his work. "But, if you don't, then you can take the ends of the cords of the installed cameras and bring them to the storage room." Having been near completion of a masters degree in virology, Luther held a certain interest in Sven. He wanted to see the disease's effects on people, and learn more about it, and maybe one day when they were feeling better he would ask about it.
He barely heard Dante call, and turned his focus back to him. "Also, can you tell Dante I'll be there soon?"

[KatherinWinter]

Katherin was walking the grounds thinking about her new companions when Secrets popped into her head causing her to pause in the middle of the hall. So many secrets. The demon purred. Thank you forgiving bring new people here. I was beginning to grow tired of the secrets we already hold. With the new people and demons, I have a banquet that will last me weeks if not months.
I didn't bring them here to keep you happy. Katherin argued. I brought them her because I have more information on what is happening to them. And so that we can protect each other.
I know. the demon purred. But your reasons don't matter. Only my happiness. The happier I am...
The longer I stay sane, I know. Go away and enjoy your secrets.
Katherin leaned warily against the wall. Secrets' visits always left her drained.

"it's nothing really, just a bit winded ya know, be gone in a week" the boy said grabbing the cables and nodding at the request for dante. The boy was having a hard time with his vision blurring every now and then, disease was making it harder to work with. That was something he hated about his demon, though he hated about everything about the thing, but it's ability to make his symptoms worse than they already are was draining at times. If he had fed the thing it probably wouldn't be so burdensome but risking the spread of anything wasn't worth it to him. He would rather let it fester in his mind and pound the migraines into his head then make it happy after what he had seen it do to others. Walking to dante's room the boy managed to keep his composure. "hey luther'll be over in a minute right" the boy said before stumbling out into the open. He let out a sigh as he walked down the corridors. "if only I actually knew were the storage room was" the boy said putting a hand over his face.

[sheeplon]

Luther eventually finished the camera he was working on. He walked inside, and while heading towards the kitchen, saw Sven wandering around and nowhere near the supply room. Well, that would explain why he didn't come out. It was hard to tell, but he seemed a bit amused as he approached Sven, "If you didn't know where the room was, ask."

[SniperWolfv]

Dante waited for the others to come. He wondered what was taking them so long. He walked to the great hall and called again. "Hey everyone food is ready in the Dinning room."
