(I'm here for this! 😁)
Diana watched the show intently, eager to know more about the mysterious performer. -
(Sorry for my late response. Service where I am isn't good)
As Asmodai walked to the front of the stage, the woman from before materialized behind him. "As time grew on, after we had married...I truly realized who was the pawn." As he spoke, bruises started to blossom along the woman's arm and face. Asmodai seemed to flinch for a moment, before returning to his theatrical persona. "She was the pawn, and I was there to try to be her knight in shining armor." He walked beside the apparition of the woman, and touched the side of her face. All of the bruises disappeared from her face, and she smiled again.
"Night after night, we would come up with plans. Most had failed, and resulted in harsh beatings for both of us. But, one night we thought we did it." The scene of a room materialized behind Asmodai. It was made of stone, but you could tell it belonged to someone of high power. There were peasants clothes on the bed, and Asmodai snapped his fingers and the outfits were on him, and the woman in no time. "We thought we could dress as commoners and flee the castle." A shadowy version of Asmodai ran down the hall, carrying her in tow. But as soon as they caught a glimpse of freedom...the guards and the king made themselves known and blocked the path. "That night, I fought for her tooth and nail, but we both ended being dragged back to the castle. On stage the guards can be seen dragging two figures across the floor, small bloodstains trailing behind them.
"Then, fate changed." Asmodai cackled as his eyes turned into a fiery red. "I was summoned to the castle, by the king." A tattered version of Asmodai kneeled down in the throne-room. The king approached him, and motioned two guards to stand by Asmodai's sides and hold his arms.
The audience could see flashes of Asmodai getting stabbed, then resurrected by the king. They could see a contract behind thrown into flames. Asmodai was sure this was going to leave them confused. But there always had to be another show, at another time. Before he left the audience though, he grinned, and waved one hand in the air. This caused any debris that was on the ground to disappear. "Come see me at my next show! I'll see you there!" His eyes flashed red behind his mask, as the curtains fell to leave the audience with a sense of awe.
Asmodai was more concerned about the fortune he was reading tonight though. He walked back to the room he had specifically rented out for this purpose and sat down in a chair, closest to the wall. Now, all he had to do was wait.
(Sorry about the crappy finalè. GTQ deleted six whole paragraphs, so I will let you know his full backstory later in the RP. :3) -
(No problems, I'm just excited to see where this is going!)
Diana had long since stopped trying to figure out how the effects were managed. She left the subject with a simple explanation of projections, and turned to her friends.
"That was awesome!" Tiffany said as they joined the crowd filing out of the room. "Totally worth the favors I owe. I just wish we could've seen the ending." Naya nodded.
"That was like movie! I'm so looking for his social media." She pulled out her phone and began typing while Tiffany looked out into the crowd.
"Ugh, we're never going to get out of here, are we?" Diana saw her opportunity to slip away without seeming suspicious.
"I've gotta pee. I'll be in the bathroom line in you need me." She said, dashing off towards a door labeled Backstage. Employees and Performers only.
Once backstage, she was surprised to only see a few employees. With the scale of the show, she'd assumed there'd at least be twenty or so people, but she only passed by a couple as she wondered where the Masked Devil could be. She considered asking someone, but she didn't want to bother anyone considering she was technically trespassing.
Something caught her attention. An inconspicuous black door hidden between boxes of equipment. The door was slightly ajar, and she couldn't help but feel as if she was meant to enter. Gathering her courage, she pushed open the door.
"Hello?" -

Asmodai sat in his chair, and listened as Diana stepped into the room and said, "Hello." He leaned forward so his face could be seen as he lit a candle, and placed it in the center of the table. "Come in." he chuckled slightly. "Don't be shy." He leaned firward amd looked at her, the energy around her seemed to vibrate, and then still. Interesting, very interesting. But why now? So many thoughts rushed through his mind. He took a deep breath and motioned to the chair across from him.
"You can sit down. I promise I don't bite." His voice was tense, but it was definitely different than his voice on stage. Asmodai looked at his watch, and gritted his teeth together. Time was running short, so he had to hurry; but first he had to make the girl trust him. He pulled a deck of black cards out of his breast pocket, and placed them on the table. "Shuffle the deck. Ask it a question, then hand the deck to me." He gave her what seemed like a genuine smile, and pushed the deck toward her. "Whatever card I pull, will show your future." He leaned back and watched as she shuffled the cards. -
