He watches her size up the pastries and eventually bite into one with vague amusement, and decides to follow her example. The burst of buttery sweetness over his tongue is definitely comforting and by the time he's taken a few bites he's actually starting to feel a little better.

Or perhaps it's just that the wasp venom is starting to wear off at last. Who knows?

"Good to meet you, Jezebel," he nods, and even manages a tiny smile. He leans a hip against the shelves, too wired still to actually sit down but starting to relax, just a little. "Don't worry about it. Manners can get a little lost in the heat of things. So where are you from, Jezebel?"

"Hell." She says casually after a second bite, having been through this introduction a good few times already. And people are taking it remarkably well, more so when they find out who her father is. Not a single pitchfork wielding mob around. Though, she does remember Spike's words about being careful not to stir trouble.

"You can imagine it's something of a change for me here." She smiles at Jack.

	Dark eyebrows climb his forehead and he pauses with his pastry halfway to his mouth. "Hell as in literal Hell, all fire and brimstone? Or hell as in My dad's mean and never lets me go out with boys and won't buy me all the cool things I want?" Or something in between, of course. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Both, actually." She quips back, before taking another little bite.

Might as well get into the story, starting off with a roll of her eyes. "My dad's Satan. I grew up in New Hades, Hell my whole life. I was stuck in a tower having to obey his rules or face becoming a thrall. He tried to marry me off twice without me getting even a small say in the matter." Deep sigh, shoulder slumping.

	"...Right. Sounds like a whole lot of fun!" Not. He eats the rest of his pastry and asks, because he always focusses on the insignificant parts, "New Hades? There's an Old Hades too?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I'd... I'd think so." She says, brows briefly creasing in thought. "I haven't really thought about it before." Or questioned it, really. Questioning things her father did usually resulted in a slap across the face. He wasn't a Dad of the Year award winner.

"It's not an awful city, really... I mean it's organized a lot like this place." Irony. "But way less water and a little more run down. The occupants are there against their will working off their Sins... but they're a little more um. Ragged looking, to say the least."

	"The dome reminds you of Hell? Well, that's comforting." And nicely distracting from the noises outside. "Although I guess not that unexpected." He cocks his head, vaguely amused. "Does anyone ever get out of Hell, either? Apart from by being transported here, obviously!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Well..." Her expression is a bit squeezed, because realistically - eternal damnation's a thing. Even if you're supposedly able to pay off your sins and get out of there, her father doesn't necessarily make it an easy or fair task.

"You can be exiled... it's not common, but it happens." When her father's embarrassed, usually. "That's what happened to me and my ex-fiances."

	"Exiled from Hell? That's a new one on me!" He chooses another pastry - now he's started eating he's realising he's famished - and then looks up at her curiously. "Where do they send you that's worse than Hell?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Jezebel laughs lightly, looking behind her before dragging closer a chair from a small table setting. She sits down on it and crosses her legs, tending to her pastry but looking like a school girl ready to divulge a great dose of gossip. "That's just the thing, I was expecting the mortal realm! But I ended up here, but the others didn't..."

"So I guess they caught me in the middle, which isn't really fair - especially if the President, Johnny and his friend aren't here too." Huff.

Rather than joining her by actually sitting down properly, her movement reminds Jack that there's something else he'd normally enjoy with his pastries and he wanders back behind the counter in search of coffee, still munching.

"So, Earth, huh?" he observes wryly, with a good deal of amusement. The different worlds or realms or realities or whatever the people here come from rarely fail to stimulate interesting conversation!

He finds the coffee machine and heads over to it. "To be fair, this place isn't that different from Earth, really, except a lot smaller." And without the option to leave it, though most people don't get that either. He glances outside towards the screeching raptors. "Well, and the raptors. Don't tend to get a lot of those in modern-day Earth. At least - are you modern-day? Do you even have calendars in Hell?"

Jezebel watches him while finishing off her pastry, taking a napkin curiously from a dispenser before wiping at her mouth. He mentions Earth and while he's not incorrect, that is from the realm she would've expected to return to... She bites her lip. "Well, to answer that - I think? I mean, I'm pretty sure it's the same in Hell as it was on Earth."

Past tense. "The Earth got destroyed though. By aliens."

	There's no coffee in the machine. Damn bots seem to be on strike just as much as the AIs. He starts some going and then turns to look at Jezebel because that really wasn't what he was expecting. "Destroyed? What kind of aliens? What happened?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Jezebel's on her feet to go look at the pastries again and to pick out a second one, leaning over the counter before making a face of consideration. They didn't exactly give her the play by play in Hell but it was hard to escape the stories of the President's conquering of the Zin, so. "Well, the Zin invaded Earth and took many important people hostage in a simulation. Then to mess with the President, I think, their leader Zinyak just blew it up."

She shrugs a little. "It caused chaos at Heaven's gates, my father was actually pretty excited about that but..." Oh yes. "The President and his gang took care of it though."

"Wow. All those times we've fought them off in my universe, and in yours it just gets blown up? That's harsh." And disturbing, especially with the Satan being excited about it thing, even if he knows it's definitely not his world - because he was a Time Agent, and he knows how the timeline goes.

"So, the President was the good guy, right? And you were his friend?"

Just trying to get an angle, here, on whether this girl, charming as she is, is likely to be a threat here in the dome.

"Well..." How exactly does one describe the President? "Good guy"? That hardly seems to be the most accurate descriptor of someone who wears the title of 'God Emperor for Life' like a scout badge but more importantly...

"I never really met them, actually." She says, stroking her chin. "I mean, my dad abducted them to be my fiance and to rule Hell because they had such a strong reputation. Who goes from leading the most feared gang in Stilwater to presidency and galactic reign? Someone pretty amazing. But their second in command, Johnny Gat, I met him when he came down to Hell to save his Boss."

"He stuck a gun in my face and acted really rude, but he ended up pulling it off and getting us all out of there. So I guess I owe him." She says, after pulling herself up to sit on the counter and swinging her legs. "My dad tried to get me to marry him too, of course, but again - didn't work out. For good reason!"

He follows all of this and shakes his head, laughing, at the end of it. "Your life sounds almost as eventful as mine, even if you have been stuck in one place for most of it." Well, actually - he's been stuck in Cardiff for most of his, now he comes down to it. "So they were kind of... not the good guys but the less of two evils guys? They helped you out against your father?"

He checks on the coffee and reaches for a couple of mugs. "Coffee?"

"When you're talking about Satan, Lord of the Underworld, anything's the lesser of two evils right?" She quips back with an amused smile, before quickly interjecting in regard to the coffee. "Oh yes, please. I've never had it before."

"I've never met anyone else in my life before coming here." She says, giving a small shrug and a flex of the little wings behind her. "I guess I'm on my own, if Johnny and his Boss got back home alright and I got sucked in here-- it could be worse."
