Echo's Estate

*Yuuko answers*

Thats classified information. What is your question?

That would do nicely. I would be honored to be given a tour.

2 actually.

May i use the lab?

Second is this:

Ever tried to combine seals/runes with energy weapons power packs?

*The little black demon snickers evilly and the motions for you to follow. You descend down a winding staircase into the earth the walls seemed to be tinted red, whether thats from the torch light or from something far more sinister you can not tell. You pass many other tiny black demons and they all snicker the same way. The area you walk through looks very dirty and impoverished despite the fact that the tiny things clearly live there. After a quite a walk you arrive in front of a building that doesn't look like it belongs in this underground slum. A beautiful, shining and clean structure now stands before you. Your tour guide turns to you and says* You are about to meet the Queen, Are you ready? I hope you remember your manners when speaking to royalty

Hmmm... How impressive for you to think of that kind of experiment. It is one we have been working on for a while it has proven somewhat difficult to get the two energies to cooperate but I have no doubt we shall succeed. Since you obviously aren't a fool we may be willing to let you use the lab. What do you wish to do?

To fix the energy incompatible in the power packs since I have a solution.

I do require some documents of the project if thats possible.

A few questions. Are you the only type of demons who reside in the these "slums?" Secondly, how and why did this come to be?

I doubt you know of anything we aren't trying. If your goal here is to take our research then you had best leave before you get hurt.

You may direct all of your questions to the Queen, thats if she is willing to entertain your questions. Shall we enter?

-_-*

*opens a window and takes his plasma buster*

really?

*shoots 3 medium sized plasma bolts to the sky*

Mine works.

*holsters his plasma buster.

Sure.
*Shotty mutters to himself* I should have known it was that type of "tour." "Please direct all questions until the end of the tour."

*Urd looks up from her prodding and says* Oh ya! We were told about you. You're the guy that acts like he knows everything about everything. Every time there is a seemingly impossible situation you always seem to know the answer to it all. Do you realize how incredibly aggravating to other people that attitude of yours is? I don't think we want some Im better then you know it all in our lab. What do you think Yuuko? *Yuuko nods and the points you to the exit*

Fine.

*phases out of Estate*

*You enter the building and see that it is not only incredibly clean but it is also incredibly fancy. Needlessly ornate decorations are everywhere and there is not a single tiny black demon to be seen. Your guide throws himself on the floor in front of a throne that currently has no one sitting on it. He shouts* Oh great and beautiful queen, this humble servant has brought you a gift. A foolish outsider that has come into your domain seeking knowledge. He is yours to do with what you will.

*There is a pop of air and then now sitting on the throne is Scanty. She says* My my my, I have just gotten everything set up and I already get humans throwing themselves at me. I guess I am just too beautiful. Tell me human, what is it you came in here for?

I came here seeking knowledge of this place. That was goal this entire time but your tour guide *points at the black demon* didn't want to answer any of my questions if I was you I would fire him because not very good at his job and secondly, he shouldn't call the people his guiding foolish I would to give a formal compliant about that as well.

*Just like the little demon did before, Scanty looks at you like you are stupid. After a moment she bursts out in laughter. Her laughs echo through the hall as she tries to get a hold of herself. Eventually calming her laughter she says* That was hilarious, you are quite the comedian. I think I will enjoy your acts for some time. *She looks to the tiny demon its face still on the floor and says* Slave, what would you like in reward for bringing me such an interesting human? *the small creature speaks* If I may have a job among your personal servants that would be all I would ever need. *Scanty smiles and answers* Done, head to the servants area in the back and you will be informed of your new duties.

*Finally looking back at Shotty, Scanty says* So what should I do with you?

If I'm going to be your personal comedian first we gotta talk about bonuses because comedians don't work for free especially ones you just picked up out of nowhere. So we're gonna need some sort of contact or deal to work out.

*Her look of amusement gone Scanty says* That one wasn't funny at all. Are you really a comedian? There is no possible way you can be serious right? Surely even humans aren't that stupid

O-of course not. No human would be that stupid I just wanted to entertain the thought that I may have been one of those humans.

I thought so, You have willing walked into the lair of demons, my lair. To expect fair treatment is a comedy routine all its own. So here is what is going to happen, I have a few other entertainers here you will be placed with them and if you continue to amuse me then you shall stay, if not then I will probably feed you to my dogs. *Two very large very muscled demons with terrifying axes come forth and stand between you and the exit. Scanty says* I trust you understand your situation?
