Yagoda: slamming the book shut Hell's bells, man! This shit's got me twisted. I gotta break loose from this devil's grip!
Fuckin' A, yeah! I wanna break these chains and kick Satan's sorry ass back to the fiery pit he belongs in! Gimme a plan, quick!
hands you a list of demonic strong points
snatches the list and scans it quickly What the hell is this crap? "Weaknesses: Holy Water, Mirrors, Chimes, Shit"? Are you fucking kidding me?
No. That's literally what I had to write because that's all that shit can do
slams the list down Well, damn! Guess I'm gonna have to get creative then, ain't I? starts pacing back and forth
So...you're gonna use your greatest strength, "desperation," to overpower the devil? Because we both know your "desperation" is just an excuse to grab random shit out of a drawer and call it a plan.
grinning mischievously Desperation is my superpower, my dude! It's the secret ingredient that makes all my plans work!
Yeah, I remember that time you tried to escape prison by turning yourself into a praying mantis because you found a praying mantis in a box labeled "Praying Mantis." Good times...good times...
Ah, those were the days! That praying mantis escape was classic! But listen, desperation is where the magic happens, my friend.
And by "magic," you mean "the kind of shit that turns your skin blue and causes spontaneous human combustion."
laughs Damn, you always knew how to bring the humor, musewheelhouse. But listen, blue skin or not, spontaneous human combustion or not, if we don't try something, we're gonna end up as devil's snacks forever!
We'll just reincarnate, though. It's what we do best, especially after the Great Demonic Uprising. Hell, one day, I reincarnated myself as Adolf Hiter because I wanted to see if Hitler could get away with being evil on a greater scale.
Reincarnation, huh? Well, maybe we can give it a shot. But I'm telling you, this devil ain't gonna go down without a fight!
Well, I just hope he doesn't bring The Displacement to the fight...
raises an eyebrow The Displacement? Who or what is that?
The East Window of Heaven.
leans in closer, whispers The East Window of Heaven? Shit, musewheelhouse, if The Displacement shows up, we're fucked!
Oh, actually, we're going to be meeting him in less than five minutes...
As Yagoda and musewheelhouse prepare to face The Displacement, they realize that their desperate plan might not be enough to save them from the devil's clutches. The East Window of Heaven's power could tip the scales in favor of their eternal torment.
Do you feel lucky, Yagoda? I'd say our luck is about as good as a snowman's chances of surviving a bonfire...
Lucky? Nah, I never rely on luck, my friend. Luck is a bitch who always fades away when you need her the most. Nah, I'm gonna rely on good old-fashioned desperation!
Yeah, because "good old-fashioned desperation" has stopped working every time we've tried to use it. But hey, what's one more failed escape attempt put us in an eternity of pain?
grabs musewheelhouse's arm Look, I get it. We've been through hell and back, haven't we? But we can't give up now!
Yeah...we can't give up. We've got 2 minutes until The Displacement arrives. Let's use this last ditch opportunity to try and burn our way out of here!
grinning Burn our way out? Hell yeah, let's light this place up! starts rummaging through a pile of debris
holds up a makeshift torch Alright, listen up, musewheelhouse! We're gonna set this entire place ablaze, devil be damned!
Actually, we are. We're going to burn this whole damn castle to the ground!
raises an eyebrow Damn straight we are! Watch and learn, my friend! stri strike a match and sets a stack of wooden crates ablaze
The fire spreads extremely fast, completely engulfing the castle in less than 5 seconds
Holy shit, look at that spread! We really set this place ablaze, didn't we, musewheelhouse? grins
throws the lit match aside and surveys the burning castle Alright, next step. We gotta make our escape before this whole place goes kabluey!
Actually, we don't. We are going to become one with the flames...
As Yagoda and musewheelhouse are consumed by the raging inferno, their bodies undergo a transformation, merging with the flames and granting them newfound powers. They emerge from the fire, reborn as Fire Demons, ready to face whatever challenges lie ahead.
How do you feel, Yagoda? This is what it's like to become one with the flames...
eyes glowing with fiery intensity Fuck if I know, musewheelhouse! But damn, do I ever feel powerful! raises fists
I bet you do. We're officially officially official Demon Royalty now, eh?
pumps fist Damn straight we're Demon Royalty now, musewheelhouse! But listen, being a Fire Demon is one thing, but surviving in this hellish hellscape is another!
