Or debunk them. [It slips out as more of a bitter mumble.] We have no real reason to believe that we've been provided with anything true about the terrain. There's no reason not to lie to us about how helpless our situation is.

[stormbreaking]

What, do you think there are other settlements out there?

[He gives a curious look.]

More demons beyond the cult?

[hypoxic]

I think that it would be silly for there not to be more. What kind of underworld only has a few dozen demons in it? My guess is that we're being imprisoned within a prison. Or shielded from something worse.

[stormbreaking]

It would not be surprising. It seems Lucifer thinks himself as much a prisoner as we are.

[He lets out a breath.]

I wonder what could be worse...

[hypoxic]

He's not punishing us through his own volition. When we find a way out, he's coming with us. [ that isn't a question he's considered. There's a goodness in Lucifer, despite every reason to ignore it. ]

You have quite a bit of confidence in that... [Thor wishes he could believe.]

[hypoxic]

[As much as he argues otherwise, his worldview is primarily composed of belief in one system or another.]

The evidence is all lining up to support it. The idea that he himself is our willing jailer seems like a misdirection.

[stormbreaking]

Perhaps... though I wonder what he truly wants out of this.

Do you think he would be happy merely leaving with us?
