Okay, I think we've stayed silent enough. What the hell is all this?

Can we capture and breed that beast, or do we have to destroy it?

Not necessarily. I particularly wouldn't take that particular voice as an indication of the state of things. But we WOULD like some sort of answer as to what the hell is going on here. Things are a bit more...confusing than normal.

So let's start with the basics. Who are you, WHAT are you, and why are you chained?

>>777376
You didn't answer the goddamn question.

Dedrin: Oh hello. Been a while hasn't it?

Well, that was such a pleasant conversation. Dickhead.

Okay Dedrin, what do you know about Lazarus? There's some kind of sentient beast trapped somewhere in green chains and it talked to us about failing to change the world. We're not sure if it hacked our conversation or someone else did, but any information you have would be appreciated.

Also, why are you still in bed?

so uhh, is that guy you punched in the neck okay?

Dedrin: The Lazarus? By that you surely mean the Lazarus Pits. Well, very little is known about the Lazarus Pits near the Palace. They are very very dangerous, so why the palace was built near them, nobody is really sure. Supposedly they are a type of liquified magic, a magic so strong they can burn up anything, even the very soul of a creature. A sentient thing? I find that unlikely. As I've said, the Lazarus would surely destroy anything that falls in, I've tested this myself. Also, what hacked up your conversation? You mean you got interrupted? And what do you mean "why am I still in bed." It's been two cycles since we last spoke. I tried contacting you but you wouldn't respond. I'm just about ready to go to sleep after giving up my forty-fifth time contacting you. This is all very confusing.
>>777463
Oh, Hangman! He was okay after I kicked him, well, after I realigned his neck. Immortality can be useful. We managed to smooth things out after I got him moving again, I simply explained that my dugout was a hidden location, and his silhouette didn't match up to the people who knew of its location. He explained that he saw me fly over here, meaning I have to be more careful if I want to keep this place a secret to the rest of Hell.

well, not in the pits, it was bound by green chains, i think someone figure out how to make solid Lazarus and forged chains from it. could be why they built there, they knew if the Lazarus could be harnessed it could make powerful things.

Yeah we sorta hopped into his head. Same with the chained up nameless creature.

Say...

There's an idea...

>>778216
Please do not jump into a lazarus pit.

You already have a severe death wish, do you WANT to be chained up in pure Lazarus and stuffed in a random hole in the ground?

>>778216
what are the sides of the pits that hold the lazarus made of? that apparently isn't melting despite being in direct contact with the stuff.

>>778282
Probably held in place away from the sides with gravity-manipulation. Which would explain the chains - the chains aren't made of Lazarus, the chains are psychic constructs containing Lazarus, possibly as a power source or a last resort when prisoners are released from their chains. All that pure acid, forced and pressurized to the point of solidity, would surely-

... This is a theory, Hangman. Maybe this stuff just sends you to another dimension filled with chains and darkness. Please do not touch death stuff.

Your hand is back. Like, immediately so.

This strikes me as a bad idea, because this implies you regenerate fast enough from this stuff that jumping in there is just going to result in the endless pain of dissolving and reconstituting until your demon buddy gets here to fish you, and by extension us, back out of the big green mistake-were-made wading pool.

>>785368
Did we forget to mention that your buddy Dedrin can hear us too? So if you kill us, then we can't talk to Dedrin anymore. What if he needs our help, but we can't help him anymore because you selfishly killed us with you?

Yeah, pretty much. Now do something about it. Look around, see if you can spot a mental representation of chains. You'll need to bind the beast and begin negotiations.
