First Temptation ♆ Not in Kansas anymore [accidentally dictated/action]

[putuporshutup]

[Meg suddenly feels a jolt and finds herself spiraling through a vortex that seems impossibly large, yet claustrophobic at the same time. It is pitch black, cold, and dry. Thin, odorless air whips past her in all directions at varying breakneck speeds. She imagines that if she could lose consciousness, she would certainly be knocked out by now, but instead she just tenses, waiting. After what could very well have been seconds or years, she feels another jolt and the void is replaced instaneously with a softly lit, lavishly decorated ballroom - the cool parquet floor of which she is now face down on. She rolls her eyes and pushes herself up.]

Nice, Crowley. What in the actual fuck is this supposed to be? Miss Scarlet in the ballroom with the candlestick? Come on, you can do better than- what?!

[Meg sniffs and wrinkles her nose. No sulfur?]

This... this isn't hell. [Her voice drops to a low whisper and her eyes widen as she runs her hand along the wall.] This isn't even earth. [She chuckles to herself] And there's no damn way I'm in heaven.

[Meg cautiously approaches an open door and hears voices from down the hall. Curiosity gets the best of her and she calls out.]

Hello?

You know Crowley? [he shouldn't be surprised. A demon that old is bound to meet lots of people]

[Meg whirls around and panic crosses her face. It can't be.]

You do?

[waterproofed]

Sure. I've known him for a while.

The King of Hell? Don't tell me that smarmy dick is here, too. Wherever here is. What is this place anyway? It's not part of any dimension I know of, so what gives?

The king of... um, what? Isn't the king of hell like... Hades?

[Danny had been walking back to his room after a long afternoon spent at the pool. He raises an eyebrow.]

Hello yourself?

Hey there, Casper.

[He stops and throws his hands up.]

What, do I have it written on my face or something! What is with this place! I know you weren't around when I went crazy and announced it to the entire castle!

Re: [Action]

[putuporshutup]

Relax, let's just say I have a special skill set. Demon kind of trumps ghost. [she winks]

[bro_codebreaker]

No damn way, huh? ... Bet I can fix that for you.

[putuporshutup]

Oh yeah?

[bro_codebreaker]

Yeah. It just so happens that, as a long time Paradisa veteran, I know the shortcut to heaven from here.

[putuporshutup]

[Meg raises an eyebrow. This guy.] Shortcut to heaven, huh? And what would that be?

[onlyanapple]

No, it was Professor Plum with the revolver in the library.

When people start blaming me for things, I like to have at least earned it beforehand. Who are you?

[putuporshutup]

Huh? [Meg blinks, confused, before realization dawns on her.] Ahhh, you must be this other Crowley I keep hearing about. My apologies... I'm a bit frosty with someone else by that name. I'm Meg.

[onlyanapple]

[It takes him a moment to connect all the dots. The other Crowley. Hell...and then her name]

Bloody hell, Meg! Your voice has changed, you get a new body since you were here last? What happened to the blonde one?

[He has a bad feeling he won't like the answer, but he'll ask regardless]

[putuporshutup]

Oh that old meatsuit? Some mean boys threw her out a seventh story window then had the brilliant idea to send me back home, so I'm guessing she didn't make it. Grabbed this one out of L.A. a few years back. It's usually a lot less bruised and bloody, but you'll have to forgive me, I came straight from being tortured for the past year.

Anyway, have we met? I feel like you're someone I would remember.

[For a second, Spike actually thought one of Crowley's buddies from hell got here. It's a good thing he listened first, that may have been awkward.]

You crossed those out pretty fast.

Re: dictated;

[putuporshutup]

It's a gift.

[gottaknockhard]

Have you decided what it is yet?

Re: dictated;

[putuporshutup]

What what is?

[kungfuwitch]

Well you're right on all counts. That's more than a lot of people get on their first day.

Re: dictated

[putuporshutup]

Well, it'd be a tad embarrassing for a demon not to have her planes of existence straight. It's not purgatory either, but that hole in the wall is hardly worth mentioning. I'm Meg, by the way.

[kungfuwitch]

[A demon? Well that's certainly going to make things more interesting. She did mention Crowley, though... Good or bad this was going to be interesting]

Phoebe Halliwell, it's nice to meet you. You're a demon, huh? You might not want to go around broadcasting that fact until you get your feet under you here. People are pretty open minded but I'm sure there are at least a few people who aren't that open minded.

[putuporshutup]

[Meg raised an eyebrow. Being that she had already met another demon and a half-ghost, she hadn't really considered the need to fly under the radar here, but that seemed like sound advice.]

Likewise. You're probably right. I haven't had to keep that on the DL for a while, guess I'm out of practice. How long have you been here, Phoebe?
