A new arrival [Completed]

Character(s): Soma, Lucifer, anyone else who cares to jump in.
Content: Soma's arrival through the Niflheim gate, meeting the Original Lord of Darkness, various & nefarious other happenings
Setting: Niflheim gate
Time: Week 2, early morning
Warnings: Potential mild swearing, probably about it.


Soma was awoken, not by his alarm clock, but by the sun falling across his face. Shielding his eyes automatically, he sat up, flinging aside the covers and making to get out of bed.

Only to find he was not -in- his bed. Beneath his hand, he felt wet grass, and there was a very distinct early morning breeze blowing.

Now fully awake (and standing, though he would later have no idea how he'd gotten that way), Soma took stock of his situation. He was, surprisingly, fully clothed (and armed, though he knew for certain that he'd left Laevatain in a case at the foot of his bed).

Before him stood a gate that, in his sleep-fogged vision, was distressingly familiar. "Oh God, not this place again..." he muttered, palming his face. After rubbing the sleep from his eyes, he made note of the decorative nature of the gate (it looked like it was made of ice), and realized that it was -not- the gate to Dracula's castle.

But...

What -was- it?

From what he could see, his first guess was 'city'. There were huge domes surrounding it, whatever it was, and a steady stream of people going in through the gates. Seeing nothing better to do, Soma followed them in...

Lucifer blinked, and then laughed. Hell? The little onmyouji thought this was Hell? Hardly. Though, it could be argued that to be Godless was to be in Hell, but as Lucifer had found out, Hell was far fuller than God's presence than anyone would wish.

"...Hell? Little omnyouji, you're quite mistake. I know Hell quite well, and this is hardly it." Oh, right. Question. He could answer it, if he wanted to. But that seemed far too generous right now, and as amusing as they were he wasn't in the mood to give them more than they had earned. Besides, he had told Soma his name, that should be good enough. The former devil sent his gaze between the onmyouji and Soma.
