Jennifer was confused by Kitty's hesitance to help them, perhaps she didn't understand what they had asked of her; but she had turned an eye on the prinny who was anxiously tapping his peg legs; sending Jennifer into her own worried frenzy.
"Oh, Kitty.."
Her words barely made it out of her mouth when Kitty dashed beneath the bed and seemed to disappear. Standing still for a moment, Jennifer looked questioningly at Brue; finally lowering herself to her knees and peering beneath the edge of the comforter which touched the stone floor. She could only see darkness, but when she reached a hand beneath the bed she could feel the floor give out.
"Oh! There's an exit here! So that's how she was getting in and out.. I wonder where it leads to. Shall we follow her?"
She looked back over her shoulder to the impatient prinny, her eyes full of life and hope as she bowed her head and ducked under the bed; carefully squeezing across the floor and into the pitch blackness of the trap doors pathway.

Brue looked over to the geosymbols that had kept Jennifer inside the room, and he out. "Ah, well, you go." A part of his little prinny face seemed agitated, another worried, another incredibly disappointed. "I can't destroy these symbols or lift them'su."
That had just dawned on him. He wouldn't be able to get into the cell to begin with... unless... No. Better not.
"Listen. You just go and find help, all right? All I care about is getting Lady Frost out of here. If you can find your friends to do that, then I'll be grateful."

Jennifer knew that Brue wouldn't be following by the tone of his voice, though she couldn't quite make out his words. She squinted into the darkness and slowly crawled through the space, following the soft tinkle of the bell that hung around Kittys neck.
"Where are you taking me, Kitty?
It was more a thought than a question, but Jennifer was sure that Kitty would be taking her somewhere where she could get help; hopefully quick. She continued on, keeping her head low as to not bump it; her mouth closed as cobwebs stuck to her hair and cheeks.

The thin tunnel went for several minutes, the cobwebs and dark must not letting up at all. That was, until they hit a larger area. Light flashed before their eyes, and soon adjusted to see a portal. Beside this portal was a very bored looking demon. No one or thing was in the room.
"Ah! Welcome to the -- wait, is that Baal's captive you brought me? Damn, she is cute." The demon let out a low whistle. "Anyhoo, you got the cash, I got the ticket outta here. 30 hel takes ya to the kitchen. 50 to the entrance. Out of Baal's domain is gonna take more'n THAT, lemme tell ya."

Jennifer blinked her eyes as she tried to adjust to the new light that hit her face; her body aching form all of the crawling. She climbed to her feet, looking at her hands and knees which were covered in dust; letting out a low sigh.
"Hel?.. What is.. Hell? Isn't that a place?"
Jennifer looked confused as stared at the demon before her, having missed his comment about her looks and she scratched her head; shrugging her shoulders as she looked to Kitty and back to the demon.

"...... You sure she's bright, hellcat? She don't look so bright in the head, as far as I can tell."
Kitty crawled up Jennifer's legs and latched on to her hip. With one swift swoop, she rummaged around her personal belongings, searching for some sort of money...
"Yeah. Just steal it. That'll work. Listen lady, Hel is what we call coinage in these parts. Now - I can take other random items, if you don't got that. First I guess you need to tell me where the hell you wanna go."

Jennifer blinked at Kitty and then back at the demon; her lips turning into a frown.
"Oh.. Money.. I don't have any on me."
She sighed softly and collapsed to her knees, her blonde hair falling over her face as she knelt in front of the demon; her hopes of getting back to the Earth in shambles. That is, until his next sentence.
"Other.. random items..?"
Her hopes rose again as she lifted a hand to her chest, clasping onto something tightly that rested in the center. It was a gift to her from Gordon, on her first anniversary as a Defender of Earth; some odd years ago. It was precious to her, but she knew that it may be the only way she could escape this place and she lifted it from her neck; holding it out to the demon before her.
"This is all I have, it's made of pure gold.. If you wish to have it; you may. Please send me to Laharl's realm....

The gate keeper's eyes lit up, sparkling just as much as the pendant would on a sunny day. "Sweet mother. That's worth at LEAST 500,000 hel. Lady, I'll take you ANYWHERE for-- I mean, yeah, I guess it'll do." He took it from her and shrugged non-chalantly. "Sucks that it's pretty worthless, but I'm a nice guy."
Kitty stared at him.
"What? Whaddya want, kat?"
More staring. The two stared at each other for minutes. There was something about that helkitty, something odd.. frightening.. Finally, drenched in sweat from the tension, the gate keeper yelped and tossed Jennifer back her necklace. "Fine! FINE! Keep your damn necklace! Just get outta here!" He activated the portal. "HURRY. I'm BUSY."
Very satisfied with his decision, Kitty stepped into the portal.
((Off to a Netherworld thread? Would you like to begin? XD ))
