very clean demons.

two young men are in an orange room, arguing. well, the room isn't so much orange, as it is tan and lit with an orange-ish light coming from somewhere. there are paintings of hell and demons on the walls, in black and red, mostly.

"we'll go this way," the taller one insists. as they start running down the hallway (same tan, with orange light), a demon that looks like a minotaur with red lightning in his veins climbs out of the picture and starts chasing them. the taller young man runs ahead and ducks into a room with stadium seating. the light here is clearer, less orange. he runs up the seats, skipping the steps in the middle. he has decided to run to the top and then jump down sideways, breaking the window in the wall so they can get out. clear blue sky is visible throught he glass. as he turns around to explain this to the younger one, he sees him run by in the hallway, chased by the demon. "oh no, you idiot, you've joined a guild," he mutters to himself and begins jumping back down the steps.

what they are running through is a complex run by the queen of hell. if you go there, or are taken there, and you believe the lies, you join a guild and certain spells are put on you which make you susceptible to the demons' senses.

so, the two young men are running down the hallway, pursued by the demon. they run out a door and skid over a blue-lit gravel-covered parking lot. there is a car wash on the other side. "in there!" the tall young man yells as he points to the car wash. from many other directions, other people come running out; they all also have realized their mistake in joining guilds and want to escape.

the crowd of people run into the car wash. the demons chase them in. as people dodge the brushes and flaps, they see at the end are huge garage doors, closed. they know if they try to run through them, the spells will kill them or hurt them a lot, or paralyze them. the un-ensorcelled young man spots an emergency door, of normal size. he opens it. klaxons go off, red lights flash. a security alert has been awakened.

the queen of hell strides across the blue gravel, shooting lightning bolts from her hands as other jump from the sky and crackle around her. she screams and threatens. two hellhounds are by her side. they bear down on the crowd of humans seemingly trapped in the car wash.

"through here!" the young man yells, and the whole crowd of people are shoved through the small escape door, and tumble out into the night on a normal, human, mortal parking lot, lit by nothing more sinister than ordinary floodlamps. they all pile into a kia (literally, those are small cars), and drive off.
