Luxuria Intro Log

PROCEEDING...

With the real super power of teamwork, the Executors have successfully managed to make their way through the Gula Underside and defeat the previous Authority there. With Gerda now freed from her past regrets and given the power of an Executor, Gula and its inhabitants seem to be in safe hands... for now at least. More interesting – or concerning, perhaps – is the tentative ally you've gained in the form of Birdie, the mysterious girl who attacked some of your number in the Superbia Underside. While she seemed to be nothing but an enemy back then, a surprising connection has been formed with who you now understand to be the Authority of Purgatory itself. While she doesn't necessarily believe the Executors will be able to repair Purgatory, she is at least willing to admit that she shares their goals of wanting to see Purgatory restored... either to its former state, or to something new. But what does that mean for the Executors? And what does that mean for Rei supposedly born from the Authority's discarded heart? There are still many questions the Executors need to answer and as a blast of dry, hot air blows up from the next layer, you can only hope that Luxuria holds the key to at least some of them...

LUXURIA

♪♫ Wet & Dry – Sakuzyo After the humidity and noise of the Gula Underside, passing down to the Lust Layer of Purgatory initially seems like a relief. The air here is dry and sharp and though you hear noise drifting up to meet you and see a whole rainbow of lights clustered together in the dark, it doesn't seem as though it'll be quite as overwhelming as some of the bustling Layers you've had the pleasure of exploring before. But as you set foot down into Luxuria and feel the heat of the ground under your feet, you begin to wonder if you might just have hopped out of the frying pan and into the fire...

Not any import, no.

[emberserker]

Of course. At least this is an improvement over the last hellhole we were in. Have you played any of these?

[crypddyd]

I have not. May I try?

[emberserker]

Very well.

[She steps to the side and indicates the balls and the lane.]

I don't suppose you've heard of bowling? It's set up with the same principle, only you roll the ball to launch it into the holes. The higher numbers score more points.

[crypddyd]

[He has in fact not heard of bowling. But her explanation tells him enough to get the idea. He takes the ball and-

-rolls is so softly that it barely makes it into the biggest lowest point bottom ring]

[emberserker]

...I see, with your strength, you would have to compensate rather than go all out. Is that something you always have to think of?

[crypddyd]

It is- I can not turn it off or on, it is always fully on force. So... well, I find it safer to go too far one way than the other.

[He is blushing in embarrassment]

[emberserker]

[She folds her arms and shakes her head.] I'm beginning to see why everyone finds their abilities such a pain.

[crypddyd]

It was like that when I was- when that man - was alive as well. So I am used to it.

[emberserker]

You still don't like your old life, do you?

[Wolfsbane takes a ball and rolls it too high, enough that it would've come flying up if they hadn't installed nets over the goals.]
