The door opens, and a woman with long dark hair and a short black dress steps in.
Well, really, that's technically only partly true. But it's probably close enough to accurate. Workable, at any rate.
She stops and looks around. This doesn't feel like any bar she's ever been in before, and, darling, she has been in a lot of bars. Desperate people do like to drink, and a week in a bar here or there, that's like picking ripe fruit off low-hanging branches.
Well, well, well. Isn't this . . . interesting?
[OOC: If you're the sort who's good at recognizing demons, feel free. If you're not, though, chances are she's just going to come off as young human woman. Questions, etc., ping elsinorequeen.]

Cerberus cants his heads, listening intently as the foriegn names are pronounced. It is, however a different word that makes his earss prick forward with curiosity.
People keep saying that. Um. What is a hellhound? I've asked Epimetheus but the only thing he said he knew of them was they weren't his doing.

"Demonic dogs of Hell. Or Hades, I suspect, is your term. They're not exactly analogous words, but they'll do."
One thing at a time.
"They guard the gates, and when things need hunting down, they hunt them down."
Like, say, to choose a random example, a person whose ten years are up.

Cerberus has never caught on to the practice of facepalming. Thankfully. The narration suspects he would have a permanent handprint across his visage were it not the case. As it is, The hellhound hunches his shoulders and offers a trio of sheepish doggy grins.
And somehow it all becomes clear. He says in a uncharacteristically dry tone. I am the only one back home. I did not know Hell had any.

And given that he is a cousin, however distant, of certain associates of whom Verity is quite fond, she won't even see this as something that needs to be repaid.
"The simplest things can be the hardest to see."
Most of the time, she's glad of that fact. When it's this is a bad deal for you and not there's a Devil's Trap on the underside of the water tower.
