*Cypress brandishes a mean pair of chopsticks and begins demolishing a large bowl of pho (A vietnamese beef, rice noodle, onion, and beansprout soup cooked in an unknown broth, rather healthy if you got a cold!) with lovely spring rolls smothered in fish sauce as a side dish with delectable shrimp skewers and chicken fried rice galore.*
"My... this is wonderful! last time I had food this good I was alive!"
*Everyone in earshot stares at Cypress."
*smiles and shrugs.* "What? do I have some something on me?"
Pirtu: "You're dead?"
*Suprised and amused.* "Uhuh, or at least I used to be... *eats mouth full of rice* remember that "Zayne" demon that made Ashton go apeshit? *they nod*, he had possesed my body a long time ago and was banished to hell when Ash there killed of my corperal form."
Bryan: "So you where dead like me? did you go to hell when you died?"
*Sympathetic* "No Bryan, I used to be a soldier in an army of the old world, I was on my death bed from a mortal wound when "Zayne" got to me, like a virus my body was to weak for it to fight him off so he took over my body and began a reign of chaos after wards."
Bryan: "So what happened to your soul?"
Cypress: "I was to stubborn to let go of my body without a fight, my spirit was traped in the demon's soul and only could be freed when someone killed the flesh of my body completely... hell would of been better than to see what he did with my body. Zayne still had all his powers when he took me and used them against my country, I was an international necrotic madman... Heh."
Foddercat: "What's so funny... *Chomp* Schypress?"
Cypress: "While he shared my body and my fighting skills, he shared his magic craft with me and the previous knowledge of all his hosts, still, how can you use them if you are imprisoned?"
Foddercat: "Ah, good point... hey miss, can I have some of that Cecilia?"
"Sure, just keep yer mitts to yourself thank you."
*Coughs, spreads hands on lap and smile mischievously.*
Foddercat: "Would never dream of such a thing! the fact you could think of such a thing hurts me greatly."
"Wunerful, here's yer drink."
*Cypress beams at the amusing spectacle.* "Anyway, I finised up going to paradis but time flows differently, one day in the arena is a year in heaven, it gets boring fast so heaven sent me where I would be happy, the arena!"
Bryan: "You, an angel?"
Cypress: "Dunno, I just came back the way I was before I died only with my renewed war gear that I gave to Ashton at first, when it was destroyed it's shards where absorbed by Ashton, but it's spectral energy came to me, that is how I got it back."
Pirtu: "And the magic?"
Cypress: "Zayne, we shared knowledge and skills when we where one... only I never forget them."
Pirtu: "Nice." *Returns to eating.*
*Alex smacks Cypress in the back of the head with a cerving platter.*
Alex: "So that is the story of Cy, *Cypress cringes.* nice story but dont expect me to play waitress for you."
*Rubbing back of head.* "Pain is usualy an idicative to life... no Alex, you can take it easy for now, just relax and grab some food of the table for yourself."
Alex: "What about the other girls?"
Cypress: "I'll cook something for them later myself."
Alex: "Sounds good, but as for me..."
*Alex darts between fighters and chair and place a good feed of food for herself. giggling rather fiendishly as she runs of in the distance."
Cypress: "*Sigh*, she will give me a cuncussion before the night is through... anyway, that is how I got here, how did you guys end up in this Valhalla wannabe?"

"OK, that was a nice story Foddercat. I'll go next. Actualy I'm just a mare human being. Nothing fancy. Though to some, like B-15 I'm also known as the Creator. I crate worlds with my imagination. When I got here to the Arena to have some fun, I got some powers. The portals for example. Then there is my present form, that I have much to thank Ash."
Ashton: "Already figured out what that stuff was?"
"Yeah, I think it woke up my worst nightmare/dream (I have some difficulties in saying wich one this is.) Basicly it gave me the same power than one of my creations, Victor. The black stuff isn't actualy what you would call intelligent, but it has some sort of mind. It also created these wings. It is able to absorb a little bits of non-kinetic energy, and it absorbs almost every bit of heat and light. You can't imagine how cold it is in here."
*B-15 is eating his heart out. The meat seams to vanish fastly, but the vegetables seam to stick around.*
B-15: "Gumf, gurf nuf urufu nuf"
"Biff, please. Don't speak your mouth full. OK, I guess I could tell more about you. B-15 here comes from the New Pangaia. The world has a long history but breafly it goes like this:
There was a time when there was a wold peace. To celbrate this, they pulled all continents together. Then they figured out gybernetic and genetic improving and genetic creation of living beings, like B-15. The people called the Purists didn't like this and started a the War that goed on for 200 years. B-15 is a veteran of this war, like almost all the other dragonmen."
B-15: "NUFUSH guuh."
"Didn't I tell you to swallow first? And let me finish too, won't you? Anyways, the war ended suddenly, when the continent was split in half for some unknown reason. The peace was soon acheaved and the society reformed."
Cypress: "So B-15 is an human creation. What about his language?"
"Oh, that's just that they forgot how to speak Englis during the War. It is now known for them as the Ancien Language. They actualy speak code now.
OK, my story is getting a bit long so I'm stop when it's still possible. Who's next?"

Fergus takes a break from his lasagneto quip his history (quid, Hehehe, funny word)
Fergus: "I was, well, um...a physics student. Yeah, I know, quit staring. Anyway, I was doing some research on the fabric of space-time itself. It's well known that large ammounts of matter or energy can bend space, but what I was trying to do was bend space to a point where it becomes infinitely curved, and forms a singularity. If you can attach another singularity to this first one, you can create an unstable wormhole that allows someone to pass directly between two vastly seperate locations in space-time."
Cypress: "A portal?"
Fergus: "Um, yeah. It was kind of embarrasing discovering places where this had been done for aeons by magic. I was never any good at magic, aside from the ability to summon fish. But I digress. Anyway, this staff here contains my portaling equipment, and over the years I've added various blades, a small sheild generator, mirrors, fuzzy dice, and so on. It's a modular thing, although 'fungal' might be a better description of its Foddercat: "Right now, it just looks 'charred.'"
Fergus: "Eh, sorry about that. What's a little disembowlment between freinds? Anyway, traversing the multiverse turned out to be cooler than my day job, so I changed job description, and eventually stumbled accross this place. Good company, good fun, good food, and great chicks. Ow. Sorry"

*Ashton finishes eating his third trout and drinks his red wine. Rina refills him his glass and sits on his lap and snuggles to Ashton. Ashton takes a sip of wine and begins telling his story.*
"Well, looks like I'm next in line for storytelling. Ok... where should I start..."
*Ashton takes a sip of wine again and continues.*
"You've already heard some parts from my life including my real name in the Arena earlier, but I like storytelling, so don't stop me, please."
*everyfur nods.*
"I've already mentioned my real name, so I'll skip it now. As you can see, I'm a grey wolf with white cheeks and darkgrey neck. All my life I was a coward, everyfur picked on me, nobody respected me. I was sinking in deep depressions every day and every night. Then, one night it all changed. The day I've turned 18, I was really tired and when I fell asleep, I dreamed. I was in a black room, laughter could be heard from every corner. Then suddenly, the laughter stopped and I saw a green figure that spoke to me. 'Do what I tell you and you will get what you want most. Respect' It said."
*Ashton takes another sip of his wine.*
"I agreed. The figure told me then that he is the Demon of Anger and that he wants to help me. That night I payed a visit to three of my most hated friends. They're still alive, but...*
*Ashton stares at his wine like he was searching for something hidden in the red liquid. finally, Ash continues.*
"One of them will never walk again, second one is blind and third can move only his left paw. However, they are too afraid of me, nofur turned me in. When I came back home, I agreed that the Demon will join me in my mind and will be with me forever. Absorbing the Demon has changed my appearance a bit. My hair turned blue as well as fur on my forearms. Tip of my tail was also blue and some weird blue ornament appeared on my back. When I awoke in the morning, my parents gave me my birthday present. You see, my family was rich and they hated me because I was a coward all my life. I've never bothered to tell them I've changed. They bought me a small apartment far enough from them and gave me enough money so that I'll never return. That was ok with me. I hated them. I've changed my name to Michael Ezaiany and I started to wear different clothes. Long black coat, black pants, yellow t-shirt, black boots with yellow forepart. The Demon has changed some part in me. I was kind and nice to furs who were kind to me, but when I encountered somefur who deserved beating or even death, I've beated or killed him/her."
*Ashton drinks his wine and waits for Rina to refill his glass. he takes another sip and continues.*
"Then, there was another disadvantage. Every month, the Demon took control over my body, forced me to call myself Zayne and made me kill completely innocent furs. Then, I came to Arena (with a nickname Ashton Webster) where I got rid of the Demon. My appearance has changed again. Only my hair remained blue an my eyes never turned red again. For the mental changes... I'm not a coward now, I'll beat the Hell out of anyfur who deserves it. The Demon can't control me anymore, so I'll never kill an innocent fur again. And that's the whole story."
*Ashton takes a sip of his wine.*

Brian jumps in to the banquet happily, his eyes shifty and paranoid at first, but gradually calming down. Finally he relaxes completely and eats.
Foddercat: "So, Brian, how did you wind up down here?"
Brian: :: Brian looks a little bitter. :: "I killed a whole bunch of people. I don't really like to talk about it."
Foddercat: "Traditional damned soul, claimed for Wrath, sent to fight forever and die forever?"
Brian: :: Nods, darkly. :: "Yeah. I'll show them, though... Eventually, I'll get out of this place. Show them what revenge means. What justice means."
Foddercat: (Aside to Cypress) "Psycho..."
Brian: :: Eats some more. He seems happy enough. ::

Lisening to Ashton made Garo really think, he knew it was his turn know to tell his story.
There was a long silence before Garoshy broke it.
"I was allso a coward when I was yong. But one day I couldn't stop myself. And my second personality came forth. At first I hated him, and he hated me, but as time went we realized we need each other. He would made me brave and I was the one to do the talking.
It took us many years to come to this agreement , but the damage had been allready done..
I can't remeber what I did to those I hated, but I'm sure I was horrible.."
,
Garo was silent for many long seconds before I broke the silence. Only know he talked as he had never spoken about what he had done.
"Well as you all have problay noticed, I'm a cross breathe between a lynx and a fox.. and the lynx side of me is the one most visible.."
"And you may call me Garo if you whant to" he said whit a smile and ended his story..

*Cypress looksa at Brian mid chew and desides to probe a little bit about his death.*
"So Brian, you saw a "Wrathful spirit?"
*Brian nods.*
"He didnt happen to be a claoked figure with green features was he?"
*Brian's eyes light up.* "Did you meet him too?"
"Uhuh, when Ash killed me, both me and the Demon where taken to judgement, I went through the right door and he went through the left, he probly landed himself in Hell, but I gather he got away. By the way Brian, how DID you get out of Hell anyway?"

Cypress, according to Trixi & Tet arc, left door leads to Heaven. And that demon that possesed you wasn't the Demon of Anger, because when I killed you, I had the Demon in me.

*sandworm spits Ashton out. Cypress uses his magic to clean the room and Ashton. Ashton summons the thorny vines again to bind Geardog to a chair.*
"Geardog, what the fuck happened? This is a feast, not a slaghterhouse, so behave yourself! I'm gonna release you now and you'll be good, ok?"
*Ashton makes the vines disappear.*
"Now, sit here and tell us your story. And no more fighting on Cypress banquet!"
*Rina refills Ashton's glass with wine and sits on his lap again.*

I've changed my nick to 'Michael Ezaiany'
Foddercat: *crestfallen* "There's sand on my shrimp..."
Cypress: "Just dish up some more."
Foddercat: "Nah."
Everyone stares, aghast, as Foddercat continues eating anyway, sand and all.
Foddercat: "Mmmmm... gritty."
Garoshy: "Yuck."
Pirtu: "Um... Ew."
Biff: "Munch munch."
Ashton: "You know. I could've made the sand vanish."
Foddercat: "That's okay. I needed more minerals in my diet anyway."
Cypress: "Anyhow, moving right along..."

Yeah, but it doesnt matter much though, consider the door as one of thoses metal detectors, if you have "evil" emotional baggage you cant go through to heaven. However, if like Tet you are an O.K guy, you go through to heaven anyway.
What I'm saying is, it does not matter which door you go through, either one can bring you to heaven or hell. (That's my story anyway.
)
Ahem, on with the show...
"Rina, why are you sitting on Ashton's lap, shouldnt you be guarding the main entrance?"
*Ashton winks and smiles to Cypress.* "Why, no worries Cypress, I got another fella to replace her so she could spend some time with me!"
*Cypress scowls.* "That's nice but, I was paying her to guard the entrance, when their day is done they can phase back where they come from with their weekly pay."
"Oh... no worries! I'll pay for her hours myself." *He smiles at her."
"Fine, but that new guard you summoned, he is on YOUR payroll!"
"..."
*One of the girls come by with drinks.*
"Want anything else to drink sir?"
"Yeah, water will be fine."
*Gets water.*
"Thank you."
*Cypress looks at the funny cat thief and wonders about Foddercat's world.*
"Hey Foddercat, this portaling on "Rifting" of yours, does it also transforms people to their true form?"
Note: Brian, if you still want to tell me how you got out of hell I'd be very curious as to how you pulled it off.

Strangely, Brian... smiles. It's not an evil smile, or a cruel smile, or a vindictive smile, but a wistful smile of pure happiness. He looks up nostalgically.
"Well, now... That's a long story. Very long, actually... Kind of hard to tell all at once. Lemme give you the nickel summary."
"When I died, I was given to Drip, the Sin of lust. That was bad, and if you ask for details I'll choke you to death with your intestines. Eventually, though, he tired of me, and tossed me out in to the wilds of Hell to suffer the agonies that is could come up with." He narrows his eyes. "Bastard tied cans to my tail... Made me look like a fool again." He seems to calm again. "Anyway... I met this guy out there. I thought he was crazy, but he tried to convince me that I could be something more, that I wasn't a worthless monster, that I could be better. A lot of talk about justice, and how I was punishing myself more than I deserved. At first... At first, I hated myself so much I didn't think I deserved justice. But he got around to me eventually. I started thinking I could leave the past behind, start to heal, start to be better. But Hell doesn't like it when it's inmates start thinking highminded, and when he got a whole army of people rallied under him it just got worse. We were going to kill the Sins, take away their tyranny, but it didn't work out... At the gates of Necropolis half of our army was killed by three angels, and when we went inside, all but a few dozen were killed by one of the Sin of Greed's traps. The guy - His name was Adam - Tried to kill Greed in his sleep, but wound up killing everyone BUT Greed. He fought his way through Envy and Lust before he dragged himself back. We were starving to death by then. We had found a place to hide and we were waiting for him to come back, and we were about to kill him. And you know what he did?" He shakes his head, still a bit weirded out by the memory. "He killed himself so we could eat his body. He didn't even know that you came back afhell and he STILL gave himself to us in the biggest way he could. So, we did the only thing we could do - We ate him, went apeshit, and charged right in to Vincenti's palace and stabbed him in the face. Every last one of us died - But it was worth it! The most fun I had had in centuries!" He grins. "We never did find Adam again, don't know where he is. Probably still preaching justice and light. I don't know how he wound up in hell, he's a great, great guy. Anyway, I woke up in one of Vincenti's jails, and he threw me in here so he could forget about me for a few dozen years. I was the guy who stabbed him in the face, by the way." He looks smug.
Cypress looks suspicious. "And in that case, you shot at us... why?"
Brian looks offended and a bit miffed. "They'd been hitting me with pointy sticks for the last six weeks! Anyone's going to be bitchy after that. You're lucky they broke my arm or my aim would have been much better."
"Well, now... That's a long story. Very long, actually... Kind of hard to tell all at once. Lemme give you the nickel summary."
"When I died, I was given to Drip, the Sin of lust. That was bad, and if you ask for details I'll choke you to death with your intestines. Eventually, though, he tired of me, and tossed me out in to the wilds of Hell to suffer the agonies that is could come up with." He narrows his eyes. "Bastard tied cans to my tail... Made me look like a fool again." He seems to calm again. "Anyway... I met this guy out there. I thought he was crazy, but he tried to convince me that I could be something more, that I wasn't a worthless monster, that I could be better. A lot of talk about justice, and how I was punishing myself more than I deserved. At first... At first, I hated myself so much I didn't think I deserved justice. But he got around to me eventually. I started thinking I could leave the past behind, start to heal, start to be better. But Hell doesn't like it when it's inmates start thinking highminded, and when he got a whole army of people rallied under him it just got worse. We were going to kill the Sins, take away their tyranny, but it didn't work out... At the gates of Necropolis half of our army was killed by three angels, and when we went inside, all but a few dozen were killed by one of the Sin of Greed's traps. The guy - His name was Adam - Tried to kill Greed in his sleep, but wound up killing everyone BUT Greed. He fought his way through Envy and Lust before he dragged himself back. We were starving to death by then. We had found a place to hide and we were waiting for him to come back, and we were about to kill him. And you know what he did?" He shakes his head, still a bit weirded out by the memory. "He killed himself so we could eat his body.

Cypress: "Just curious as to what would happen if a "dead" person like me or Brian would go through. Would we revert to out Hell/Heaven form? When one dies and comes back amongst the living, we are different then how we where before we died."

*Ashton listens to Brian's story, not paying much attention to Rina's kisses. when Brian ends his tale, Ashton says:*
"Wow, man. Weird things happen in Hell. I gotta visit that place sometime, because y'know, I'm still alive. I've never been to Heaven nor Hell. I wonder..."
Rina:"Ash?"
"Yeah."
Rina:"Shut up..."
*looooooooooooooooooooooooooooong kiss*

As soon as Brian hears Ashton talking about how "interesting" Hell sounds, Brian starts laughing, coughing his food up on to his plate and slumping to the floor, laughing over and over and over, struggling to breathe, and finally breaking in to a slow gasping recovery. He looks up at Webster as soon as he finishes his kiss.
"Ashton, you poor, crazy bastard... Never go to Hell. You can never leave. It follows you. It stays in you forever, eating at you like acid, trying to pull you back in. There's no escape from it. It's madness and pain and despair and hate and misery all at once, all the time, with no way out and no way to get used to it."
He looks away, turning back to his food, glowing at Ashton. "Don't go to Hell."
