You lot didn't have to come for me. I don't understand why any of you did. ~~To all of those who have suffered because of it, I truly am sorry.~~

Hell was brought to our doorstep. I think it's about time we showed Hell some of the Stations hospitality. So who's up for a bit of a barney? Door closes soon. If you think you've got what it takes, might as well let off some steam. Let me know if you're interested. I can provide magical protections for those who might need them.

[Private to Loki]

How much would you like to topple the Kings of Hell? I make sure you get their crowns, you do something for me. It's that simple.

She was the daughter of a bloke me and my mates knew, back in Newcastle. We didn't know what was happening to her until it was too late. We found her Dad and some of his mates dead. Astra, afraid of what her Dad would keep doing to her, manifested a demon into being. Me, thinking I was being clever, thought summoning a bigger Demon to deal with it would help. Only I didn't get the Demon's true name right. That Demon was Nergal. Once he was done destroying Astra's Demon, he took Astra to Hell with him as payment. Tore her apart right in front of us... It's not something I will ever forget, and I will never forgive myself. I have a chance to save at least one version of Astra in this multi-verse and I'm taking that chance, no matter the cost.

	That poor girl. Tell me how I can help. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I had planned on taking Bryn with me to find a kill Nergal. That would free Astra's soul. You an help me free the children's souls here on the station. Loki sent me some of their soul coins. There's a lot of them here and I will need help freeing them. Are you in? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes. How do I free them? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I can help guide you through the ritual. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	John/Gen blacktwin 2020-03-23 04:50 am UTC (link)
	I would like that. Please if you go, promise to be safe. Don't do something stupid. I care about you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	John/Gen worksbestalone_ 2020-03-23 05:17 pm UTC (link)
	I care about you as well... I've spent all this time trying to protect you from my world. Everyone who becomes a part of my life ends up regretting that they came to know me at all. If they were lucky enough to stay living that is. Or unlucky enough, depends on how you look at it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I understand that you want to rectify a mistake but this world is not always a part of you anymore. Once the portal is gone, it's gone as well. Everyone is the same afterwards, the only thing that makes a difference will be your decisions. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	John/Gen worksbestalone_ 2020-03-23 10:50 pm UTC (link)
	No but I have a chance to do something good with my rotten life. And I'm going to take it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	John/Gen blacktwin 2020-03-23 10:56 pm UTC (link)
	I'm not talking about now. I'm talking about after. I understand what you are doing now but after the portal closes, you need to stop thinking like you are back in your world. Then you will only endanger people because of the decisions you make and not because of the connections you have. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Zee said something like that. Maybe you're both right... Look, I care about you Gen. A lot. More than I wanted to admit. I thought if I left it at that, I could keep you safe. I never understood how you could remain so positive. Maybe now I'm starting to get it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	John/Gen blacktwin 2020-03-25 12:23 pm UTC (link)
	You can delete that 'maybe'. I'm glad you can see more of it now. I think we can all have a good life here but you have to allow yourself to have it. So do I. We are still in danger. We will always be in danger. But without the good moments life is worth nothing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	John/Gen worksbestalone_ 2020-03-25 07:10 pm UTC (link)
	Once all of this is over, can we talk? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	John/Gen blacktwin 2020-03-26 01:02 am UTC (link)
	Yes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	John/Gen worksbestalone_ 2020-03-26 03:41 am UTC (link)
	All right then, luv. Until then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	John/Gen blacktwin 2020-03-28 12:11 pm UTC (link)
	I think you wanted to teach me how to release the souls. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	John/Gen worksbestalone_ 2020-03-28 10:30 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, of course. But let's save the more personal stuff until after all that. (Reply to this) (Parent)
