Characters:
Dante Solomon, Avaritia
Location:
Purgatorio
Solomon stood upon a large stage before a parade ground, the docks leading straight into the area. A massive stone entryway stood behind him, the words 'Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate' engraved above his head. The cliffs formed a natural wall about the area, the only way out was back to the sea.
Solomon paced the stage, watching as the ship drew up to the docks and began to anchor. Keeping stride with him was a woman wearing square glasses and a neatly pressed trenchcoat. Black hair was bunched in a bun behind her head and her face was set in a neutral expression. Her eyes were coloured gold and were trained on a notebook in her hands while she scribbled notes curtly.
"Where are the others. The new stock will be disembarking soon." Solomon grumbled.
Avaritia adjusted her glasses pointedly, heels clicking as she walked slightly behind her superior. "They should be arriving shortly Head Warden, I have sent Mammon to fetch Acedia and the others are merely slow. I have the prisoner manifest though and potential circles for the convicts if you wish."
"And no doubt picked the best for labouring in your quarries already." Solomon growled, but took the proferred papers all the same. It would hardly do for him to greet the new residents of his prison with only one of the Under Wardens he thought irritably.

Name:
Mechis Wrenchwelder
Location:
The Charon
The guards walked the convicts single file off the ship. As Mechis walked behind Ardor'Gelu,his brain started formulating several plans to escape this place that would surely be the death of him.
First, Ardor'Gelu would be his muscle and human shield.
Second, he'd need a caster, preferably one with a talent for fire spells.
Third, he'd need a map to work out where the hell he was.
And finally, he'd need a way off this island. The boat they came in on would be ideal, if he could take control of it.
Oh, and he'd need explosions.
Lots of explosions.

Cyrus stood near the Charon's board, looking into the murky waters and licking his eyebrows absent-mindedly.

Dante Solomon
Location:
Purgatorio
Dante watched as the Under Wardens finally arrived on the stage. Luxria, whip coiled by her side flounced over to stand near the edge of the stage, pouting at having been called back up instead of actually visited by Solomon again.
Next came Gula, appearing half starved as always with his baggy wardens coat flapping in the wind, sunken eyes scanning the area. Solomon rolled his eyes when he noted the massive plate of food on a felhound behind the wasted man. At the moment Gula held a massive haunch of beef on the end of a trident, occasionally ripping great gobbets of the meat off with sharp teeth and chewing hungrily.
Solomon sighed in exasperation when Acedia arrived, dragged by Avaritia's massive dire wolf Mammon, who was garbed in golden armour which flashed in the dim light that managed to sneak past the cloudy sky. Acedia himself was actually asleep, snoring blissfully while a pair of massive broken chains with links the size of a mans arms dragged from his shackled wrists, his coat haphazardly fitted and dirty from his trip up along with his messy brown hair.
Then came Ira. The Under Warden stomped up the steps to the podium, surprisingly small arms considering their load within his trenchcoat hefting a two handed sword as tall as he was, covered in rusted blood and the edge sharpened into dozens of pointed metal protrusions. Ira was grinning in anticipation of the new batch of prisoners and his red hair shot out of his scalp in large sharp looking bunches.
Then came Invidia. Green eyes were half lidded in boredom within the eyeholes of his metal mask as he ascended the steps, metal gauntlets on his hands tapping a nameless tune against his leg hidden by his coat, making a slight pinging sound as he did so. Any guard he looked to averted their eyes downward quickly and submissively lest Invidia think they thought themselves better than he.
Solomon massaged his brow to relieve the urge to punch someone as Superbia arrived, trumpets blaring over the loudspeakers while the Under Warden threw his arms out grandly, a cocky grin on his face while he slowly ascended the steps to the podium amidst a storm of rose petals falling from the sky. "Thank you, thank you. I know, I am that amazing." He greeted the guards who nervously applauded his arrival. Superbia took up position next to Invidia, who glared at the other Under Warden hatefully, and pulled out a mirror, fixing his flowing black hair casually.
I am the leader amongst idiots.
Solomon thought foully as Avaritia fussed about the group of Under Wardens, badgering them into proper positions and forcing Acedia upright (though he merely blinked sleepily for a moment before he leaned against Ira and fell asleep again).
"Have the prisoners disembark and gather in the parade ground at once." Solomon ordered a nearby guard who hastened to relay the order to the rest of the guards.

Cyrus marched from the Charon to the parade grounds, throwing kisses at every staff member he saw.
"Yeth, yeth, I am here, rejoithe! We will have oh tho much fun together!" he ranted out loud, looking intently for a sadistic female torturer.
"Altho, for the record, '
Abandon all hope, ye who enter here
' ith old and tathtelethth and not hip at all!" Cyrus yelled, after noticing the giant letters.

"Can't we just get this over with?" grumbled Lakelly. "Or do they just want to prolong our torture, call us names, and whip us?"

Luxuria bit her index finger when she spotted the trick a strange looking blood elf had performed with his tongue. She could find a far better use of the muscle...
"Look at them, think they're all so much better than me." Invidia hissed seethingly, the sound ringing hollowly through the barred gap in the mask where its mouth would be.
Avaritia scanned the group, instantly assessing their worth to the last copper their tattered clothes were worth with her golden eyes and jotting down some final notes. Seems she had a few who actually had potential this time...
Ira shoved Acidia off of him with a growl, ignoring the way the other warden flopped to the floor of the podium, still snoring blissfully. He sneered disdainfully at the ramshackle group of newcomers. He'd be lucky for one of them to last a minute with him.
Superbia did not even notice the group, too enraptured with his reflection in the mirror.
Solomon ignored the antics of his underlings and waited until all of the prisoners were assembled on the parade ground. At that point he turned from his followers and strode to a large podium on the stage. Tapping the microphone to ensure it was operational he glared at the men and women before him and gripped to edges of the podium.
"Attention convicts. I am Head Warden Solomon. For all intent and purpose your fates are now in my hands. Many of you are no doubt wondering why you are here. Perhaps you think yourselves innocent of the crimes you have committed, justified even in the actions taken.
You are wrong!" The Head Warden thundered over the loudspeakers, slamming his fist onto the podium with a crack of wood.

Character:
Dante Solomon
Location:
Purgatorio
"The idea of innocence is a cruel joke played upon the world, a term used to satisfy the ideals of societies at large. The moment you are born you are a criminal.
A babe but seconds born is guilty of causing their mother suffering and pain! A mother is guilty of bringing a new life to live in a state of suffering! A man who gives to a charity is guilty of not giving to another which deserves it even more! A man who does not give to a charity is guilty of hoarding his wealth! A vagrant is guilty of not proving useful to society! A man who compiles a book out of curiosity is guilty of providing the tool for another to cause destruction! A smith who forges a blade is guilty of every man, woman and child slain by that weapon! A soldier who kills a criminal is guilty of robbing a mother of their child, a father of their son!
Lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy, pride. All that exists and will have committed these sins. Regrets are useless, what's done is done. It does not matter if you are here for a crime you committed, one that you did not or if you became trapped on the Charon because you wandered on board. You all deserve to be here merely by your existence, and you will suffer for the sins you have committed with each breath you have taken! There is no leaving here, there is no escape.
Innocence is an illusion. There exists only measures of guilt." Solomon finished darkly, the stone of his purple eye flashing in the light of the fires burning in several braziers scattered about the courtyard.

Lakelly sighed. "That pompous fool of a... do we have to listen to this bigot?" he muttered angrily.
"He may not be the most evil, but he is certainly the worst of the wardens."

"I will serve my life sentence here for my crimes of existence, bearing the burden of punishing those who would sin for all those who cannot. This place is a warehouse for the truly heinous, storing and segregating them from those whose sins pale in comparisons.
Saligia is your home, Saligia is your grave, and the sins we have all committed have become our chains." Solomon informed the prisoners grimly. He cast his glaring eye over the crowd, permitting them a moment to digest the information before taking the next steps to integrate them to his prison.
