Oct Event Log - Portal Chaos

[serpentinthegarden]

The glowing portal shuddered before slamming shut behind them. It had seemed like a good idea at the time... go through the portal in order to close it from the other side. And it had worked! The portal was closed, the school was safe but the heroes who had worked together to close the portal were now trapped on the other side.

Through the Portal
( Loki, Crowley, Alec, Beetlejuice, Sho )

Silence fell as soon as the portal closed leaving the small group standing in the middle of a crossroads. The ruined archway that ran along the top of the cliffs hinted that there might once have been more of a civilization in this world but now there were only the two pathways, one that ran down the hill into the face of the brilliant red glow that hinted at a flow of magma beyond and one that curved up a hastily cobbled together set of stairs. Of course they were free to stay right where they were as well, here in this craggy passage with the imps peering down at them from every rock and crevasse.


Rescuers
( Aziraphale, Harry, Lena, Eleven, Mal )

With the battle won most begin to relax. There was the wounded to see to and the damage to the school to repair... but gradually the more tuned in students start to notice the missing. Roll calls that were taken but never completed for some were not around to answer to their names. Then one of the injured students comes to and mentions having seen the missing students disappearing through the imp summoning portal. Clearly they were trapped on the other side and it was up to their fellow students to work out a way to bring them back!

"And have you go and do something stupid again?" Loki snarked. "Better I play escort, as dull as it is necessary." Hell was most definitely not being a good influence on him. It was too hot, and he was annoyed by it all. Loki also hated that he was curious about something.

"So why do you have a death wish? Wouldn't your life as a human be short enough as it is?"

"Why. No, seriously, why doesn't bother you so much? What is going on in that head of yours? And don't give me some flippant or egotistical answer." He wished the man would sod off but he was getting increasingly too tired to argue.

"I'll answer yours if you answer mine. You'll get what you give." If he gave bullshit he would get it in return

Loki chuckled, smiling in amusement. "A fair bargain. I'm curious because usually humans are so eager to cling to their meager lives. You are a paradox in a way. You seem to put no value in your own life, risking it easily, and yet there are easier ways to expire." All very true, and a genuine answer on Loki's part.

"Besides, you're a passable class partner." Alec was entertaining, and was learning. Loki did kind of enjoy working with him in class, even if it was also frustrating sometimes.

He thought about this, grunting as he ascended a particularly rough patch of stair, refusing to stop despite his injuries and the fact that he'd have to pay for them later.

"You've never felt useless? You've never felt like you weren't enough no matter what you did?"
