"Thank Lucifer," he said with a sigh. "I technically don't need to sleep… but I need to sleep."
Sliding into the roleplay forums
"I've got a pullout bed in the living room, there's a guest at the end of the hallway, and if anyone wants it they can take my room and I'll crash in the truck. Just leave Michael alone, his door is the one with the massive MCR poster on it."

"I'm all right with the living room. Hopefully Asura and I won't bother you much longer. We have other stuff to take care of eventually, although that'll involve finding a way to jump between dimensions again."
"Well good luck with that. The last portal in and out of here is more or less on lockdown via a pissed off giant lion similar to Asura, just a whole lot scarier."
"What's he so upset about?"

"How the hell is there a lion demon scarier than me? I'm like the size of a skyscraper in my true form."
"Everything. And he's been hunting me down for centuries. His privileged ass is sitting right in the middle of the only way in and out of here right now, and I don't know if I have any favors I can call in to get him to move."
"And he's not a demon, he's a guardian. Mean suckers that rival the gods. Samandriel just so happens to be the current most powerful one second to that idiot Balthazar that bailed on our dimension."
Mike sighed. "Well, I hesitate to say it since I suspect it won't work, but maybe if I visit him by myself and ask him nicely, he'll let us through without asking who my traveling companions are."
Pluto laughed. "Oh my gods, you think you can just waltz up to a dimensional gate and ask a pissed off lava guardian who's been hunting my ass for the past 200 or so years to move his melted rear out of the gate? Ha!"
"He ain't hunting mine. You know, I'm not some hunk from the backwoods. I run a business, and believe me, I'm used to negotiating with crabby all-powerful beings. If it's our only shot, I'm willing to try."

"Can you hop to parallel universes here, or are those blocked off?"
"Parallels usually work, but a good portion of them are blocked. Samandriel is trying to cut off all access in and out of this universe in order to get to me and Balthazar. My plan has been to find Balthazar first and then kick him out of here, but I haven't done a very good job of tracking down what appears to be a giant mutant whale."

"Don't look for a giant mutant whale, look for something that gives off… the vibe of a mutant whale. Because I'm willing to bet that he's in human form right now."
"Really?" she said sarcastically. "Because my damn roommate is a freakin' guardian in disguise."
"Maybe we should help you find this Balthazar guy," Mike said. "Speed things up a little."
"Listen, It's been 150 or so years since I started looking for him, so what makes you think we're gonna suddenly be able to find him in the short time frame we have before Samandriel comes after us. He's probably freaking out about you two popping up here as we speak."
"All the more reason to get a move on. Three heads are better than one, and if we split up we'll cover more ground. Plus, if Asura's so sure that Balthazar's in human form, maybe he can find out more that'll help us track him down. If that's really the best way to get out of here."

"Well he's going to show up eventually. It could be now, it could be 300 years from now, I don't know."
"Yeah, only problem is until I eat a soul I've got soul vision and I'm pretty sure someone with all black and gold eyes who seems to be crying ink is going to get a good reaction in public."
"Well then. First order of business is to get home and get everyone the kind of food they need. I'm serious about you taking one of Earth's demons, we don't want 'em. After that, we can worry about other stuff, hey?"
"Okay. Y'know what, let's just get who needs food their food, we'll all sleep, and then we can find a way to BS our way past Samandriel so I can eat someone before something bad happens."

Asura visibly shuddered at the thought of Pluto eating a demon soul.
"That's the ticket," Mike said, unperturbed. "And Asura has to figure out what to do with his daughter. She probably doesn't want to stay in that staff for very long."
Pluto's mouth watered at the mention of Zoe. "I can eat her!" she said a little too excitedly
"Uh, no, not what I meant."

"Don't you fucking dare," he snapped, fire flaring up around him.
"But I'm hungryyy," she whined, trying to wipe more of the starry substance coming from her eyes away

Asura clenched his fists, trying to keep himself calm. "That's not funny, Pluto," he said, not looking at her.
"I know it's not, I'm currently starving in a way I don't think I've starved before and this gods-forsaken goop won't stop pouring out of my eyes!" She gave up on trying to wipe the liquid away, resolving to just let it slowly stream down her face
