Mission 1: Arrival (Video)

*There's a pair of icy blue eyes on the screen, with a subtle warmth behind them that's at odds with the cold color. They belong to a young but scruffy looking face topped by white hair and bearing an expression somewhere between irritated and unimpressed. From the background, he still seems to be outside.*

Okay, first off, I've got a couple of questions, so why don't we humor the new guy for a while. Let's start off with the big stuff: where can a guy get a slice of pizza, a decent sundae and some booze around here? I just spent all day running around and it feels like I could eat a Gigapede if that wasn't the most disgusting idea I've ever heard.

Which actually brings me to the second question. I spent all day running around without food and was perfectly fine until I came here, aside from some serious cravings for cheese and tomato sauce. You see, I ain't exactly what you would call entirely normal, that's why I'm so good at what I do. So who's shit idea was it to bring me here, ask me to save the world and then add on 'by the way, you can't use any of the awesome and badass powers that usually help you get the job done'?

Actually, you know what, make that three questions. On the topic of saving the world, who's ass to I have to kick this time? Interdimensional gates don't normally screw with themselves when they're supposed to be closed, so I'm pretty sure someone's gotta be on a power trip. Though points for scale. Don't think I've ever heard of someone involving more than just the human world and the demon world in their evil schemes. ...Then again, until now, I didn't know there was anything other than the human world and the demon world. Guess they're right, you do learn something new every day.

I'll feel like I'll have to scrub my ears daily.

[hellspawnedhero]

*Sigh.*

Don't normally bother watching my mouth around teenagers, but I guess you're still pretty innocent.

[heartdive]

Not that innocent.

[hellspawnedhero]

Kid, if you can't handle language like that, you're pretty darn innocent.

[heartdive]

I can't help it that no one where I come from talks like that.

I had to.

[hellspawnedhero]

You live in Disney World or something? Unless you spend all your time in a church, I've never heard of a place where nobody swore at all.

fff

[heartdive]

Destiny Islands... But I went to a place called Disney Castle once.

B)

[hellspawnedhero]

*Blink.*

Well whaddya know. Meet Mulan there, kid?

*Yeah, he's thinking it was a theme park or something...*

[heartdive]

I did meet a Mulan, but not at the castle. She was in a place called the Land of Dragons.

[hellspawnedhero]

...You're serious, ain't ya?

[heartdive]

Uh... You weren't?

[hellspawnedhero]

I was figuring you were talking about some kinda theme park or somethin'.

[heartdive]

Not a lot of theme parks, the places I go to.

[hellspawnedhero]

And here I thought I'd seen just about everything...

[heartdive]

Dunno why you're surprised. I said I go to other worlds all the time.

[hellspawnedhero]

Doesn't mean I expect to hear that you met someone right out of a movie.

[heartdive]

Movie?

[hellspawnedhero]

Yeah. I'm gonna take a wild guess and say Disney's not an animation company here you're from, huh?

[heartdive]

Can't say it is, no.

[hellspawnedhero]

Remind me to go lookin' for movies later.

[heartdive]

You wanna watch one that badly?

[hellspawnedhero]

It'd be nice, plus, you're missing out.

*Mulan might be up there on his list of favorite animated movies.*

[heartdive]

You can't really miss something like that, Dante. My life is kinda like a movie anyway.

[hellspawnedhero]

So's mine. Still, it's fun to sit back and enjoy a good show.

[heartdive]

If you have the time, maybe.
