[WELP, it's Good Friday. According to the calendar this place runs by, anyway. Hellboy isn't sure how much he can trust that, since he's still not completely convinced this isn't some mass hallucinatory possession type of thing, but, what can you do

KATE IS STILL AFK so you get the other lady

Hopefully there are no rabid bunnies involved.

The kids here sure are tough little guys.

[hellshaped]

They'd have to be. Magic prisons are no picnic.

I hate dealing with magic sometimes. If only Zatanna was here...

[hellshaped]

I sort of do this for a living, so I'm used to it.

Who's Zatanna?

[advocacies]

Are you in the cape business, too?

[ a snort. ]

She's a magician back home -- anything that deals with magic we can call on her to help. She fixes it in two seconds.

[hellshaped]

Like a superhero? Not exactly. [Though a lot of people seem to think he is, so ... maybe it's just not a thing on his own version of Earth? WHO KNOWS.] I was a paranormal investigator for a long time.

She sounds like she'd be pretty handy to have here.

[advocacies]

Ah, well, close enough? Though... you said "was". Not anymore?

[ nodding, even if he can't see it. ]

We've probably got some powerful magicians in the house. I wonder if they've noticed anything about the castle so far.

[hellshaped]

I quit a couple years ago. Some issues with the management. [Putting it mildly ...]

It'd probably be an interesting thing to ask them about, though my experience with magic types has been that they rarely give a straight answer anyway.
