<div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><strong>The Black Box</strong></span></div><hr/><br/><div class="floatleft">(https://i.imgur.com/JCoNFHJ.jpg)</div><strong>NAME:</strong>Lily Jimenez<br/><strong>DAY:</strong>December 4th, 2020, 11:15 PM<br/><strong>LOCATION:</strong>SOPHE Headquarters, IT Office<br/><strong>TAGGING:</strong>Kyless, Open<br/><strong>EXTRA:</strong><br/><strong>WEARING:</strong>Her usual hoodie and jeans<br/><hr/><br/>"Well, Demon," Lily started to explain, seeing as if this strange comrade in arms could refer to her by species, there was no reason she shouldn't respond in kind, "I am inside because very important people decided they liked me better inside than outside. This way I can make things more miserable for people they don't like rather than them." Lily paused and revised. "Or at least make people other than them slightly more miserable than I make them. Potato Potahto. Something tells me that your story isn't all that different." Except of course, Lily was just some hacker with a chip on her shoulder. She could only guess as to what powers this strange demon who appeared out of nowhere might have.<br/><br/>But the questioning came back to Lily's powers, such as they were. "this is more like my magic wand. It's how I make things happen." Annie was much more than that though - she was Lily's one constant friend in her new, strange, and often frightening world. "And she can certainly tell us where to go." Out was up - of course, which meant a stairwell. But which stairwell wasn't going to be swarming with too many people with too many guns, that was the question worth asking. "I suppose we can go up the back here," she judged as she checked through the blueprints. It might work. Or it might get them both shot. Only one way to find out. Another couple of clicks and the lights in the hallway were out too. "This way to - outside I guess."<br/><br/>The stairwell was small, and relatively tight. If someone did come, they were royally screwed, although there might be some debate as to whether the Royally Screwed Party would be Human, Demon, and Co. or rather who they might find themselves up against. "So what<em>is</em>your story Demon? How come they got you shut here inside and how come you're so gung ho to get out? Not that the outside doesn't have it's charms and all."
