Azrael the Tour Guide

There is a flash and a petite woman with pale skin, horns and a spaded tail appears by your side. Lank strands of red hair fall in her eyes as she draws a deep breath and pastes on a polite smile, clawed hands laced behind her back.

"Welcome to Hell, where your eternal punishment awaits! I'm your tour guide for today, Azrael. If you'll just follow me, the tour begins over by the Fields of Punishment where sinners are flayed for all eternity."

Her smile doesn't reach her eyes as she gestures for you to follow. With a snap of her fingers, a tattered pamphlet appears in her hands which she offers to you.

"Here is your complimentary tour guide with maps of the various circles of Hell and descriptions of the torments you'll witness on our journey. Please keep your hands inside the tour portal at all times, as some demons may try to grab any stray limbs that wander into their domain."

Another pinched, strained smile as she tilts her head, awaiting your response. It's clear this is a routine she's repeated countless times, dulling the enthusiasm she probably once possessed for her infernal role.

"Well then, shall we begin? I promise the tour only lasts an eternity or so, but there are so many fascinating tortures to view along the way!"

Her tone drips with sarcasm poorly concealed by her customer service veneer. Poor Azrael seems burnt out from her tiresome task of catering to new arrivals.
