We both are lacking in that regard. I'd say let's tango, but I don't really dance at all.

Level 6 - The City of Dis
You approach Satan's wretched city where you behold a wide plain surrounded by iron walls. Before you are fields full of distress and torment terrible. Burning tombs are littered about the landscape. Inside these flaming sepulchers suffer the heretics, failing to believe in God and the afterlife, who make themselves audible by doleful sighs. You will join the wicked that lie here, and will be offered no respite. The three infernal Furies stained with blood, with limbs of women and hair of serpents, dwell in this circle of Hell.




Looks like I am going to have lots of company!

well i believe that since only heaven is perfect, hell must have a flaw, a weakness. so escape is possible. so even if we end up in hell we can get out, it may take an epic trek. but i wil gather all of you up and we shall escape. maybe i can't get us into heaven, but we will end up somewhere... maybe the plains of ra?

i am in a good mood tonight, so maybe rather than skulking out i will gather you and we shall fight our way out. a grand and glorious battle. with my bastard sword i will lead the way. led zeppelin playing in the background.

sometimes i think i should have been a viking.

But of course - you climb down the hair on Lucifer's back and come out of a volcano on the opposite side of the world. ;)

Second Level of Hell
________________________________________
You have come to a place mute of all light, where the wind bellows as the sea does in a tempest. This is the realm where the lustful spend eternity. Here, sinners are blown around endlessly by the unforgiving winds of unquenchable desire as punishment for their transgressions. The infernal hurricane that never rests hurtles the spirits onward in its rapine, whirling them round, and smiting, it molests them. You have betrayed reason at the behest of your appetite for pleasure, and so here you are doomed to remain. Cleopatra and Helen of Troy are two that share in your fate.
you're more advanced than a cockroach,
have you ever tried explaining yourself
to one of them?
~ alan bates, the mothman prophecies



i've had this with actors before, on the set,
where they get upset about the [size of my]
trailer, and i'm always like...take my trailer,
cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.
~ george clooney, inside the actor's studio



a straight edge for legends at
the fold - searching for our
lost cities of gold. burnt tar,
gravel pits. sixteen gears switch.

Umm...guys....I don't like this test.

Ninth Level of Hell - Cocytus

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is the deepest level of hell, where the fallen angel Satan himself resides. His wings flap eternally, producing chilling cold winds that freeze the thick ice found in Cocytus. The three faces of Satan, black, red, and yellow, can be seen with mouths gushing bloody foam and eyes forever weeping, as they chew on the three traitors, Judas, Brutus, and Cassius. This place is furthest removed from the source of all light and warmth. Sinners here are frozen deep in the ice, faces out, eyes and mouths frozen shut. Traitors against God, country, family, and benefactors lament their sins in this frigid pit of despair.

Well, if Satan ever retires/repents, you're in excellent position for advancement.

Is getting to spend eternity chewing on the backsides of Brutus and Cassius really an improvement?

I think I actually belong in the mouth that Judas is in, but the questions for the exam weren't properly administered in order to determine this.

Satan can't even keep track of all he done wrong.

MOREOVER, there's a specific line of the inferno which says something about how, IIRC, the sinners in hell can't climb out of hell because the horror of their location is such that they can never reach heaven for they cannot repent without a desire to escape the hell they are already in.

I decided, at some point, that it might be worth creating a society for those who believe they are doomed to spend an eternity in hell and try and keep others from finding out about it so they can get to heaven.

Recently, I broke the rules of that society, and I don't know how one can repent for that except to go back to following the rules.

Heretics, the lot of you. Looks like I'm all alone on the Seventh Level. :?

I tried it again, with what expect were different answers in places, but still wound up in Dis.
