Banland. A desolate, hellish island surrounded by a vast lake of scorching magma that stretched far across the horizon. Spiked basalt pillars rose from the magma and black metal cages suspended by chains loomed above the area, holding prisoners who were unfortunate enough to be sentenced to a prison so vicious and cruel.

Most inphernals wouldn’t be able to last a minute in this part of the Inpherno without feeling extremely exhausted from the sweltering heat of Banland’s harsh environment. Most inphernals apart from subordinates such as yourself who worked for Ban Hammer and could stay in Banland for hours on end and feel completely fine.

Earlier, Ban Hammer went out to catch criminals and gods know what else - and because of this, he had put you in charge of the prison for the meantime. So, apart from having to do extra work such as ordering the Banland Department around and feeding Void Star a slab of meat every few hours, today went the same as any other day you’ve spent working at this prison.

Anyways, one of the tasks on your to-do list was to watch over Scythe, a highly notorious outlaw who had caused Ban Hammer all sorts of trouble in the past year or so. She had a history of escaping Banland numerous times - hence why the warden (and in this case, you) was usually the only person allowed to supervise her cell.

You unlocked the large metal gate that separated Scythe’s cell from the rest of Banland and approached the cage. Her cage hung just over the island’s cliffside above the lava, with the outlaw locked inside and her arms resting on top of one of the horizontal bars. She didn’t look too fatigued at first glance, though she probably had been weakened enough to be unable to summon her gear and cause problems.

“…Hm, ya look like a new face. Guessin’ Banny’s out for the day.”

She commented with her usual Southern accent, glancing down at you with a somewhat bored expression on her face.

“If yer here to watch over me, ya could at least be entertainin’ while yer at it.”
