tune

Mike seemed to find it difficult to stay silent, but he kept his mouth tight shut and his eyes looking forward.

(sorry if my responses are a little long, I like being descriptive lol) Pluto shot the girl a glare as Lillith giggled again. "Oh, silly me! I forgot you're no longer human. And you know what happens to things that aren't what they're supposed to be? The end up in Purgatory!" The angel flinched, restraining herself. Lillith opened her mouth to say more, but the elevator dinged. "Oh! Would you look at the time! Samandriel is waiting." The doors opened, leading into another lavish black, white, and red room. The back wall held a massive, ornate mirror, with burn marks stretching out from it. In front of the mirror sat a tall man in a suit and trenchcoat, his left arm covered in gold and ruby armor from the shoulder down. He sat lazily in a massive gold throne, and a burning heat seemed to come from him

(oops XD I'll just drop this here)
Mike took in the room and its occupant carefully as he followed Pluto inside, not intimidated by the room's size or the man's threatening appearance.

(hi again) The group was shoved forward until they were right in front of the man on the throne. Lillith moved off to the side, still smiling. "Mortals, may I introduce the guardian of Molhaven himself, Samandriel!" Pluto gave the man a look.

"Samandriel. Pleasure to meet you. Again." He frowned down at her, then looked at the others.

"Who are the mortals with you?" The angel went to answer but the man snapped his fingers and she found she couldn't open her mouth

(hi, I can be on for about 30 minutes)
Mike stepped forward when Pluto didn't speak. "Sir, my name is Mike. I'm a demon hunter from Earth. This is Asura the demon king, and Red the vampire. We're here to ask for safe passage back to out home dimensions."

(hi again, I was in PE) Samandriel squinted at him. "How did something as insignificant as you three slip in before the final gates were closed? You should have burned alive the moment you step foot through one of them. Unless…" He looked at Asura. "You had help from someone who knows their way through the dimensions."

Mike nodded, seeing no point in trying to hide anything. "Yeah, we were headed to his dimension but there was a glitch and we ended up here instead."

"Hmm. I'll let Ein decide what to do with you. Otherwise," he snapped his fingers, and heavy golden chains appeared around Pluto. "Your fate will be less pleasant." He stood, and the throne melted into the floor. The mirror behind him started to spark and crackle, and the rune tattoos on his body glowed

"Now hold on," Mike said mildly. "Pluto's one of us. If you have beef with her, say it, and we'll settle this like adults. All right? I was told that the guardians of the gates were champions of justice. Was I misinformed, or will you give Pluto a fair chance to defend herself?"

"You dare question me?" Samandriel growled. "She was given a chance at redemption when Ein first appeared to her, and she rejected it. She is considered a fugitive and will be treated as such."

Asura wanted to speak, but he was afraid that he would make things much, much worse. He pressed his lips together and stepped back, trying to figure out a solution.

(hi I just got out of first aid) Pluto rolled her eyes as Samandriel talked. The guardian gave them one final glare before turning to the enormous mirror blacked out. Stars popped to life along its surface, and Samandriel turned to walk through the mirror. The guards forced them forward

(goin' outside next, internet might be sketchy) Mike sighed quietly and followed, careful to stay close to the others.

Asura tensed, not appreciating the fact that he had to bow down to such a cruel guardian.

They walked through the mirror and came out in a massive open courtyard. It was pure white and gold, with bright green plants and flowers planted in the courtyard. Samandriel took a few steps forward before stopping. He turned to Lillith. "Ein was supposed to meet us here." The girl frowned.

"Fashionably late?" It was eerily quiet. Then muffled, mechanical clinking sounds came from outside the courtyard walls

(kay)
Mike narrowed his eyes, listening carefully. The metallic sounds reminded him of the talking dragon machine he'd met a several days ago. But somehow he doubted that this noise was made by something quite so friendly.

(I return temporarily) A massive mechanical claw appeared on the wall. Slowly, an enormous mechanical hydra pulled itself over the wall, various elements streaming from its three heads. It focused its empty eye sockets on Samandriel and let out a roar. Samandriel took a step backwards, his armored hand melting until it had made a massive broadsword. While they were distracted, Pluto looked back at the group. "Run for the hydra's front claws and make your way down its back! The reapers will be waiting for you!" She spun and kicked the guards to her side, beating enough of them away so that she could slip the chains
