[ok this is definitely a joke.

Hellboy stares at the bracer on his wrist for awhile. Then there is a longer pause while he waits for the chance to actually answer the question. His reply comes in spurts.]

I don't see any

But that doesn't mean they're not here. I'm used to sigils being visible. Painted

Painted or drawn or something like that. I can't sense these sort of things on my own.

Sorry to disappoint

[grunehexe]

[its not!!!]

I see.

It is alright- I cannot ask the impossible. But if you know of anyone in there with you who is...

[hellshaped]

Not that I know of. I could ask around, but it might take awhile

Surveillance and all that.

[grunehexe]

Of course. Then, only if it does not put you in jeopardy.

[hellshaped]

I'm pretty sure death row is the definition of being in jeopardy, so don't worry about it.

Out of curiosity, who told you to contact me?

[grunehexe]

[good point...]

Kidagakash of Atlantis.

[hellshaped]

[Oh. He's actually a little surprised.]

That's interesting.

[grunehexe]

How so?

[hellshaped]

I don't use magic. [He's actually flattered that Kida thought highly enough of his expertise, but it could be that they're that desperate...]

I know how to combat it.

[grunehexe]

In this sort of situation, that is enough.

[Considering her own situation, she can't judge]

[hellshaped]

Let's hope so.

Somehow I don't think burning sage will be that helpful, but I'll do what I can

[grunehexe]

In this situation finding the seals themselves would be best.

But there is no guarantee they are even within the cell itself, so do not despair. I will search from outside as well.

[hellshaped]

Are you working alone on this?

[grunehexe]

Thankfully no- I have transportation, and I am consulting with mages from other worlds.

Worry not.

[brave front!]

[hellshaped]

[He believes her without question, at least. He doesn't have the energy to be cynical right now, and they need all the hope they can get.]

Just be careful. We're counting on you.

No pressure or anything.

[grunehexe]

I will. - may you be well until you are free.

[hellshaped]

I'll do my best. Thank you. Sincerely.
