It's an ordinary day for Mastema and Zelenin, it seems. A stroll side by side through the Mall (and we do mean stroll, Mastema is on the ground to better keep Zelenin's pace), maybe some small talk

"....oh my God."

Zelenin stares out at the bloodsoaked beginnings of a forest. Whatever happened here...she doesn't want to know. She looks around briefly, before pulling her scarf off her neck and tying it between the doorknobs, an effort to keep it from disappearing on her.

She runs back to the church and collects her Demonica, as well as the AK-47 that she somehow purchased when she was driven insane by Loki's meddling. She returns, Sarasvati in her party as always. But she won't force Throne out into the rain that he detests. Instead, she has brought out Haoma and Pallas Athena to accompany her.

Athena gazes out across the land before cautiously stepping through. "...this is not a battlefield. It is slaughter. ...We should progress quickly. Stay on your guard."

Zelenin nods, following her more battle hardened companion through the door.

There may be a feeling of...something, a shock of some kind, shooting up her leg as Zelenin sets foot outside. It's not an attack, it's more like...a reaction. Nothing more happens, though.

There is sound coming from further ahead. Music, and voices, animated.

Zelenin gasps at the sensation, looking around to see if there's a demon anywhere. But there's nothing

It's exactly what it sounds like, a party of some kind. A group of Demonica-clad humans are off to one side, talking and laughing. The rest are varying demons.

...they seem to be clustered around two men, for the most part, the smaller demons clamoring to see and talk to them.

If not for the grisly scenery, it would seem like a very normal community. In fact, there are houses, clay and mud brick to be exact, not too far away. One of these is much larger than the others, and stands at the end.
