Dante's Labyrinth

In a television studio near Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, The Morning show Good Morning Pittsburgh is just coming back from commercial.

“And in 5 4 3 2 1 cue KC”. The camera then focuses on former Miss Pennsylvania winner KC Daniels.

” And we are back for our final segment. Our tech expert Hannah Dixon will interview Creator and CEO of Hell Spawn games Lucifer Devlin. But before we do that lets go to meteorologist Sonni Deigh for today's weather forecast, Sonni.”

” Thank you KC” smiles Sonni. The young and curvaceous blond starts her weather forecast.

“For today’s weather it is going to be partly cloudy with some sunshine high in the 90s. Tomorrow will be similar to today but more clouds then sun with a few thunderstorms later in the afternoon. Have a Sonni Day! Back to you KC.” The camera then heads back to KC Daniels.

“Thank you very much Sonni. And now for the final segment, our tech segment with Hannah Dixon, Hannah” the next person on camera Hannah Dixon. She is your typical girl next door and every geek's fantasy. A beautiful woman who loves video games.

” Thank you, KC., Today I am here with the Creator and CEO of Hell spawn games Lucifer Devlin. Mr. Devlin, my first question for you what is this new game that you have coming out? And second when will it be released?” Seated next to the lovely Hannah is a dark-haired man with very dark eyes. He is wearing a three-piece suit all black with a crimson tie and the same color handkerchief in his pocket. Hannah and KC have both joked before the interview that he reminded them of actor Tom Ellis from the show Lucifer.

” First off Hannah I would love to thank you and your television station for having me here today. I’ve been an admirer of you and KC for a long time” With this comment KC, off camera, and Hannah both blush.

” The game that I have created is called Dante’s Labyrinth. It is based on the different circles of hell.” A flushed Hannah is back on camera.

“Labyrinths I thought hell was based on like Dante’s Inferno, with gates?”

“Well originally it was supposed to be, but we have decided to take it a step further. In our version of Hell, we decided to go to 9 different labyrinth levels. Each level is created differently. For example in the first level which I will show you here in a little bit. It is set in a jungle setting”. Hannah, watching intently, asks her next question:

“How many different levels? Did you say 9? Also, what is the game play like? Can you be different characters are you your own character?” With this Lucifer started to laugh.

” Well Hannah you are your own character. The objective of the game is to navigate through the 9 levels of Hell to become the King or Queen of Hell itself. There’s even one level well I can’t give you a lot of information on that one but let us just say you will have a Devil of a good time.” This news was exciting Hannah. She really loves these types of games especially ones where she gets to role play.

“Did you bring an example of the game because I haven’t seen any screenshots or anything else yet?”

“Actually, Hannah I did.” With that he pulls out of his briefcase a different looking controller. He then plugs it into the video console by a tv near where they are sitting. The screen comes alive. Just as he mentioned before, a jungle setting is shown. Hannah notices that the character on screen even looks a lot like him. “So, you start off in the first level. Which as I said is a jungle level. The goal then is to make your way through all the different minions of Hell until you get to the end of the stage at the end of the labyrinth. It is here that you must decide. You can either stay in this labyrinth and become the Queen or King of this one or go on to see what comes next. Again, if you beat all nine you will become the King or Queen of Hell.” Hannah dreamily looks towards him.

At the same time off screen, KC is staring at Hannah. KC, who is bi-sexual, has always had a crush on Hannah. Hannah however has always been the innocent girl next door and a virgin. KC knew she dated here and there but also knew that Hannah was straight. Hannah continues the interview.

“What about when the game releases? Will there be any special editions? What about DLC’s?”

“Well Hannah as a matter of fact we do. We will have a special edition version of the game. With this you will get your own controller. Just like the one I used today. We also have 666 special edition pendants.” With that he pulls out a pentagram necklace. “These only go to a few select people. It is my hope that everybody goes and gets the game right away and has a great time playing it. The game is to be released next month on June the 6. It will be released worldwide. The United States being the first group to get it. The other countries will get it on June 7. The fun part about this game is that it can be played repeatedly. It has a revolutionary AI system. That means the gameplay for each individual will be a different experience.”

“Well thank you for your time Mr. Devlin” “

Please call me Lucifer.”

Hannah stammers “OK Lucifer I will. Thank you for joining us today. The game is Dante’s Labyrinth. It will be released on June 6th. Back to you KC.” The camera pans back to KC. She is sitting in the chair. She just watched her friend give the interview a lifetime. Lucifer Devlin is very reclusive at giving interviews. KC can also fill herself getting a little wet down below after fantasizing about Hannah.

“Thank you everybody, that is all for Good Morning Pittsburgh. We hope you all have a great day and we will see you on Monday.” Off camera it is shouted

“and we are out.” Still sitting on the couch is Hannah and Mr. Devlin. KC walks over and joins them.

“Well thank you Mr. Devlin again for coming out and letting us interview you.” Hannah gushes.

“It was my pleasure Hannah. As I said I have been an admirer of you and KC for some time.”

“It’s funny that the game releases on 6/6.”

“And why is that?” Mr. Devlin said. Hannah blushes again

“It’s because it is KC and my birthdays on June 6”

“Actually, I know that” he laughs. He reaches into his briefcase and pulls out two bags one is bigger than the other. He then hands the bigger bag to Hannah and then the smaller bag to KC. Hannah excitedly goes to open her bag. “Please hold on one second” Mr. Devlin says” this is an early birthday present for you both I hope you enjoy it. Hannah please go ahead and open yours and KC if you can wait till I tell you”. KC nods in agreement. Hannah opens her gift. First, she sees a copy of the game Dante's Labyrinth. She is so excited she cannot wait to play this game! The next thing she pulls out is the special edition controller. “This controller will really enhance the way you play the game,'' Lucifer said. “It will change everything you and any other gamer has ever witnessed in a video game.” Finally he tells Hannah and KC at the same time to pull out the final item. It is the special edition pentagram necklace. “These are for both of you. I hope you enjoy playing the game. When you get to a certain point in the game you will need to put on the necklace. It will really enhance the gameplay for both of you. Now KC was a little embarrassed. “

Mr. Devlin” She says Lucifer interrupts

“Please call me Lucifer.”

” I am sorry Lucifer. I don’t play video games.”

“I think you might want to play this one. I understand you and Hannah are rather good friends. It might bring you guys a little closer together. Plus, it is a fun friend experience. I hope you enjoy it”. With that Lucifer Devlin gets up from his chair. He gives Hannah and KC a kiss on their cheeks. When he does their eyes change to white and they freeze up. He then smiles, turns, and heads out to exit the studio. The girls then snap out of it. Their eye color is back to normal.

“Hannah do you really think that this game would be that much fun or that I might even enjoy it? “KC said

“Absolutely as a matter of fact I’ve got no plans tonight. How about you?”

I’ve got nothing going on tonight” KC replied.

“Then tell you what. Why don’t I get a sandwich ring and a cheese platter. You come over close to 7:00. Then we can play the game.”

“That sounds like a wonderful idea. I’ll bring a bottle of wine” KC added. Even though she knew that Hannah was not a big drinker, she could get her to at least have a glass of wine. Then the two friends went home to prepare for later.
