The Search for Civ
Lye's Personal Log: 10/1/2024
I've made sure to keep Livic on a short leash, but mostly just to keep myself (and my neighbors) safe. He is a literal devil, afterall.
Livic has informed me that the easiest way to retrieve Civ will not be through typical magic. Teleportation directly to Adastra would be extremely difficult, requiring an amount of magical power equivalent to a Municipal Protection Spell. Since I'm sure that I won't be able to get those kinds of resources, Livic suggested another idea:
To travel through the Hells.
Livic explained that while many planets follow the rules of location and distance, the home plane of Asmodeus is purposely non-conforming to spatial physics. Once can travel across the universe in a fraction the time by finding the right focus points, but its one full of dangers.
While Livic assured me that many of my people's researchers already knew of this, it was generally agreed that any form of Hellish travel was deemed too dangerous. All attempts at Hellish traversal ended in disaster across history.
So, I guess that's the way we're going. Great idea Lye, follow a devil to literal Hell. He insists he can lead us through the Hell Gates, otherwise known as the pathways through Hell to other sections of the universe, but I still don't know how capable he actually is. It's not uncommon for devils to kill each other for power or fun.
I've taken a few days to prepare, but I don't think anything I can do will be enough. I'm taking a charm that would typically teleport one home in an emergency, though I'm unsure if it'll work cross-planar. I also took every ingredient possible and backups to cast Invisibility as much as I can, as I suspect staying unseen will be paramount. Otherwise, I'll just have to hope Livic is a capable travel acquaintance.
As annoying as he is...
Gods, he's worse than Civ sometimes...

Suckable paws ngl bro 😵💫
And...... you've lost 'looking at my paws' privileges.
Is Livic supposed to be portrayed as really hot? Because 😳
Well, yeah, I am. Glad you agree.
I'm pretty hot in a lot of ways: physically, literally, seductively...
Sexually...
Hey, what's up with this? Is that a censor? I was trying to post sexy nudes on the internet!
Lye: NOT ON MY FUCKING WATCH. AND DEFINITELY NOT WITH CIV'S BODY! WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT WEARING SOMETHING?! PUT SOME DAMN CLOTHES ON.
You FAILIURE of a otter, How could you mess up one simple song??? All you had to do was remember! Sure he didnt go through it all with you but you should have asked the AI. It would have helped you. Now that Albino Twink Is 1 step closer to razing your ass!
Uuuuuuhhhhh.........
I'm...not sure what you mean by this. Did you mean a single song from the other anon ask? Like, is there some kind of magic where we have the same favorite song and Lye can...cast something? I'm super confused, nevermind the fact that we don't share musical tastes.
AI? Like, the computers here? Com? I thought it said it clearly 'wasn't' and AI? Besides, what could he have helped me with? Better understanding the local custom? Sending an attack drone on me?
Lastly: albino twink? I was under the impression that twink was a male term, so I'm not sure who you're talking about unless you mean Lye? Razing me? Huh? Is she gonna destroy me? Why?
Anon, I'm super lost.
Hmhmhm! Expanding on anon's post about fav songs......do you have a song in mind for ur ocs that could be like their theme?
I'm not sure. I haven't thought of one as of the moment.
It's an interesting thought tho.
Electric/Synthwave is probably my core music group, especially synthwave that tends to be very emotional. I'd have to boil it down to Help - EP Version by Gallantis, but I could have my mind changed somewhat easily. An alternate could be Time Travel Kool Aid by Half an Orange for the same reasons.
I'm a sucker for 'powerful sounding' music, so Lye is easily Noosphere by Guillaume David (Warhammer 40K Mechanicus). It's got all the necromantic vibes, dark undertones, and unease I'd expect to hear from an overview of her doing some magical stuff (and organ music fits her style too).
Livic is supposed to be this strange perspective on mortal creatures, so for character reasons, I like to think it's Pass the Knife by No/Me. Either that, or some other clearly hellish-sounding music like Metal or something, but I don't typically listen to that outside of Rammstein.

Lye's Personal Log: 10/4/2024
Today is the day we start our trek. I've gotten all my gear together to make this journey and Livic has...done nothing to prepare. He says he'll be fine. I have my doubts.
Livic has tried to tell me multiple times that all will be well. "You've got a devil as a guide", "I know what I'm doing", "I'll protect you". All fall on deaf ears due to my lack of trust.
However, one thing he did give me was a surprising amount of detail about our trek. Our path will be starting at a Hell Gate for our local galactic area, and we'll be traveling to another Hell Gate that's much closer to where Civ is, hellishly speaking.
The good news is that this journey should only be a few days.
The bad news is that we'll be traveling in open hell terrain with little protection for most of that.
God's save me.

Have you played the visual novel "Remember the Flowers"?
I have not yet. It's on my list to read, though I will admit I've had little time to do so recently. I plan to start reading some FVNs, including RTF, as soon as I finish DMing my current Starfinder game.
I've seen a TON of art about it (especially the yellow wolf guy), but I haven't heard anything about what its all about. Does someone wanna give me a spoiler-free taste or would that ruin it?
The Search for Civ
Stepping through the portal, I first felt the familiar vertigo-sensation of teleporting, followed by unexpected blast of hot, dry air.
And wow, I had many theories on what Hell would look like, but it's nothing like seeing the real deal.
"Welcome to the Valley of the Damned," Livic said with a scheming smile, looking like he perfectly fit in with the volcanic-looking background.
"Well," I huffed, "At least it fits the usual description for 'Hell': fire, lava, seering heat, an unkind landscape."
"Yep, home sweet hell," Livic stated, "I prefer to call it the 'Valley of the Damned' however. More poetic, feels more hostile and sad for those souls trapped here."
Looking around, a myriad of unpleasant sights were scattered about. We were currently up on a cliff, standing in some dark-stone brick bridge on precipice overlooking the land below. The rough terrain at the bottom of the cliff seemed hardly traversable, looking like an extreme rock-hopping adventure. A lake of lava stretched out to the horizon, with volcanoes leaking more viscous rock into the terrain. Floating motes of dark red stone dotted the red-haze sky, with a few housing dark-brick structures.
"Well, the 'Valley of the Damned' isn't getting any colder. Show the way, devil-man," I waved him forward.
Livic smiled evilly.
"Of course, this way" he said, beginning to walk further down the dark-brick structure.
<<Last Page - Page 10 - Next Page>>
is livic on any other websites?
perhaps blue and polygonal ones
Hehe, unfortunately, I am not.
Lye has said that I'm 'not allowed' to do that. Apparently Civ has some kind of 'image' he wants to uphold, so until he decides to get over that, you will not be seeing the more interesting shots...yet.
I bet I can convince him. There's nothing wrong with that kind of art, Civ's just a bit too modest to let us have this kind of fun right now. And Lye's been quite the buzzkill, saying that "You have Civ's body, which means it's some kinda consent thing," which I think is stupid.
The Search for Civ
We walked along the brick bridge, passing by cliffs and eventually crossing a lava lake, pillars of black bricks impossibly sticking into the molten surface below.
Eventually, after the lava lake ended and the brick bridge approached another cliff face, I stopped.
"Livic! We've been walking for nearly an hour, and you've said nothing! How do you know where we're going?" I asked with an harsh tone.
"Oh, I thought you'd just fully trust me to take us there. What, think you know the way?" he asked.
"No, but I'd like just a little bit of info on where we're going," I retorted.
"Well, I'm not supposed to show mortals this...but," he started.
A red flash appeared in Livic's hand, before a map rolled out in front of him.
"So, first, we had to cross the Lake of Agony. Luckily, no one lives here. But now, we're entering the Cliffs of Callous Imps. It's infested with these terrible imps that are insane and just attack like animals. Then we'll cross the Chasm of Chaos and hopefully dodge Khorne while we're there. Then it's a hop skip across the Open Wastes and we'll be at the other focal point!"
He continued on, giving details of these locations he brought up in a strangely-familiar fervor. This form of obsession and excitement towards a particular subject reminded me greatly of Civ, so maybe there are some similarities between these two other than physically.
Regardless, the obsessive information actually brought me a bit of piece of mind. Such detail is unlikely to be entirely fake, though I won't be surprised by an embellishment or two.
"Oh, we can totally stop by the Circle Gates! The second level is easily accessible there," Livic said excitedly.
Livic turned with a wicked smile that strangely almost seemed concerning.
"But....you probably won't like it there," he continued.
"Why's that?" I asked, not being well versed in the Hellish circles.
"Well, let's just say they don't like clothes and it'd be very...distracting," he said with an evil grin before turning and continuing down the stone bridge.
"Yeah no..." I responded, assuming, given his proclivities so far that he meant the 'lust' circle, "Let's just make it a straight shot. This isn't a sight-seeing trip."
"Fine."
The map phased out in a flash of red, and on we continued, entering into the mountainous region Livic referred to as 'The Cliffs of Callous Imps'.
<<Last Page - Page 11 - Next Page>>
The Search for Civ
I followed the Civ-like devil into a valley-like area of cliffs, very similar to the red rocks of a city not far from home, but feeling much more hostile. This strange brick bridge went through the crevice of the cliffs, continuing on passed corners in one impossibly long structure.
"So, Cliffs of Callous Imps?" I asked, "I see the cliffs, but how worried should I be about the imps?"
"Oh very," Livic responded, "As far as I've heard, they're pretty dangerous in packs...which they hang out in within these cliffs."
I strengthened my grasp on my staff as we entered the canyon, eyes darting to the surrounding rock face.
"So, any thing we can do to avoid them?" I asked.
A piercing screech rang out, bouncing off the canyon walls.
"Not anymore," Livic said with a grin, "Let's see those magic skills of yours!"
Imps flew out of cracks and hidden caves, as if the cliffs themselves spawned the red winged creatures. Several came up from below, flying nearby or landing on the stone bridge. Evil grins came below glowing eyes, barbed tails whipping in anticipation with grabby, clawed hands. Strange, humanoid screeches sounded out from them.
"Time for some fun!" yelled Livic.
I saw Livic lift into the air and quicky produce a flame from his hand. For a moment, I was confused, having thought most devils are immune or resistant to the fire, but the screeching, blackened imps that resulted from his attack told me otherwise. He quickly followed it up with extended red claws from his hands, engaging in a melee.
Several descended towards me. I whipped my hand in a quick 'Magic Missile' spell, and started firing bolts of necrotic arcane energy at the imps. It didn't seem like much, but each bolt was easily capable of destroying or sending-flying the creatures that approached me.
A few moments later, and with about 20 of the creatures dead with magical wounds or burned skin, the tide suddenly stopped, with the remaining imps quickly retreating to the cliffs again. Not even one had gotten close to me nor Livic, which felt greatly uneasing.
"Is that...is that it?" I asked Livic.
"For now," he said, landing next to me, "Imps are pretty cowardly little guys, and the fact that I showed them who's the bigger devil clearly is enough to send them fleeing with stingers between their legs."
I looked around at the 13 dead to magical bolts and only 7 dead to fire and claws, but decided not to press his ego and let him have it.
"And..." Livic started, "You're magic's pretty good, bet they didn't like that either."
Thanks goodness, it knows even the slightest bit of humility.
"Will more of them come?" I asked.
"Not likely, but we'll probably need to be careful," Livic said, starting to walk away, "There are way worse devils we'll probably run into, so keep those spells handy!"
I stared at one of the bodies of the imps at my feet. It was slowly metling, as if becoming a black ichor and seeping into the stone itself. The strange effect seemed to happen to the other bodies as well.
"Huh, that's a piss-poor way to go," I said, reaching down and pulling out a vial, "I doubt devils have funerals anyways, but..."
I quickly dipped the vile into the metling flesh, and quickly retrieved a sample of the black ichor.
"It'd have to be closed casket."
"Hey Lye! Come on, we got to get through here and cross the Chasm of Chaos before we rest for a while!"
I stowed the black ichor before turning and following Livic, but my eyes never strayed from watching the curious eyes from the cliffs that shined malice at us.

The Search for Civ
Having quickly walked the rest of the way out of the Cliffs of Callous Imps, Livic lead me through a mountain pass where we would begin our trek across the Chasm of Chaos.
Jeez, I swear, if I could get my hands on the devil that liked the alliteration a bit too much, I'd reduce him into a spell component and use it to cast a very mundane spell that does next to nothing.
This Chasm was in fact gigantic. Leaving the tunnel through the small mountain, a strange, long bridge extended forward over a gargantuan chasm in the ground, descending so far that only darkness was visible below.
"So, this is the Chasm?" I asked Livic, swallowing a small lump that had formed in my throat.
"Yep! A 3 mile long bridge over an abyss!" Livic said somehow with glee.
"You said something about a Khorne? Who is that? I don't recognize the name," I asked, tentatively stepping forward as the ground beside the bridge turned away into the darkness.
"Of course you wouldn't know him. He's not one of your demons or devils," Livic explained, "He tends to terrorize a different sector of the universe where he's typically called a Blood God."
"So why doesn't he terrorize here? Here, relatively speaking," I asked.
"Powerful devils and demons kinda have territories in the mortal plane and homes in the Hells. Only Asmodeus is allowed to go where he pleases since he owns the Hells," Livic continued, "If you aren't super powerful, though, you don't really get territory, which means you can kinda go wherever you want so long as you don't piss the ruler off and get killed."
"Hell is a lot more complex than I would've though," I stated, "Do we have to worry about this Khorne then?"
"Probably not. He's probably out doing Blood God stuff," Livic said, "The chasm is just an easy way to where he lives, the Realm of Chaos, so if you're unlucky, he might shake the bridge and drag you down to his realm, where you either fight or die."
Looking down into the darkness, I prayed to the gods I refuted many years ago for safety, though I doubted even they could help me from this Hellish place.

what's ur workout routine
I do a mixture of swimming and weightlifting. I try to do 2 days in a row of weightlifting (leg/ab day and arm/chest day) for 40ish minutes. Then I do swimming days and swim laps for 45 minutes. There's a 4th kind of day called a diving day, where instead of laps I free dive to the bottom of the 11ft pool and grab pool toys with a couple laps thrown in for heart rate increases for about 40 minutes.
During the summer, its a lot more swimming days and fewer weightlifting days just to enjoy the summer sun. Lifting kicks off more in the fall and winter, with swimming days becoming diving days more commonly since there's many lap swimmers but nearly no one uses the deep end of the indoor pool during the winter.
I try to exercise 5 days of the week, with at least 2 being lifting days.
Despite all this, I'm not the strongest nor most athletic guy. I'm a bit on the heavy side (bad diet choices, still working on that), and am in nor way the strongest, but I do have some pretty impressive (at least they are to me) lats and shoulders from swimming and lat pulls, so I got that at least.
The Search for Civ
What a relief it was to finally get across that massive bridge. I couldn't stand the feeling of the giant abyss below starring back at me the entire time.
The bridge led into a mountain tunnel, where after a few minutes traversing the strange brick structure, deposited Livic and I into another, near-same desert of red rock and mountains.
"Congrats!" Livic said with wide arms and winning tone, "Another hurdle passed and your first day in Hell survived!"
I looked to the red sky above. While there wasn't a 'sun' in the normal sense, the sky did seem to be getting darker, like some form of hellish night-time was beginning.
"Come on! There's a spot up here that we can make camp at," Livic said pointing forward.
"Isn't camping out in the open dangerous?" I asked Livic.
"Kinda, but I bet you already have a spell to fix that," he said matter-of-factly.
Damn it. I hate his smuggness sometimes.
"Well, yeah," I responded, pulling out a small glass bead, "I can set something up."
A few minutes and a ritual later, and I raised my hands and staff up, turning the small bead into a large bubble of energy.
"There, only visible to us and provides invisibility to anything inside," I said to Livic, "A very safe place to camp out."
"Well, except to powerful devils who can see through illusion magic, but what're the odds of that?" Livic said smugly, entering into the bubble.
The next half hour was strangely silent except for the noises I made preparing for the night. Small created snacks from spells, a few sleeping bags, and a minor alarm spell for alerting me if anything got too close were my before-bed preparations, but even these didn't particularly make me feel like I would sleep well.
Even though I don't trust Livic still, I did try and offer him some of my provisions. He passed on the food, but he did accept a sleeping bag to lay on. As soon as I handed it to him, he rolled it out, and to my dismay, took off all his clothes in a flash of red devil magic, before laying down on it. For a moment, it was almost cute as he seemed to curl his tail and wings around himself, which I tried to keep in mind instead of his blatant lack of manners.
I laid out on mine and casted a silence spell on myself to let me sleep despite any strange devil noises that would disturb me. The alarm spell would wake me in a bad situation, and I had set an extra security to wake me if Livic stepped within 5ft of me just in case. The alarm spell hadn't failed me before so I took the silence as a comfort to fall alseep, missing my bed at home already.

Now that Lye's asleep, I can go have some fun...
Lye didn't want to go to the Circle Gates, but I'm bored and don't need to sleep. I'm gonna go have me some fun. I haven't had a chance to try out this new body yet so let's change that. Fuck whatever that cat has to say, I'm a devil in my home plane, so she can't tell me what to do.
Now, to see what lovely things I can get up to on the second Circle...

Hehe, there they are: the Circle Gates to the Lust Circle.
Oh what lovely things will i find? Maybe a harem of succubi grovelling for me? Maybe a strongest incubus to worship? Both? I'm defintely ready to wow them with my 'skills' hehe.
They are going to love me. I'm a sexual god, and we'll make sure all the Hells know it. I'm probably gonna have so much fun, I'll have to rush back before Lye wakes up and discovers herself abandoned.
