Kenren nodded, looking around the room again at the assembled captives. He could see Hakkai off with a couple of girls and Goku over with someone else. At least they were safe during the day. "Yeah. A prison's never been my favourite place to spend time." At least he didn't have broken bones this time. Yet.
He sat back in his chair shrugging lightly. He had no qualms about telling a kid what went on in this place. They needed to know and they'd either handle it or they'd stay in their rooms. "Monsters. Giant rotting cats and rats. Giant spiders and scorpions. And that's just the tip of the iceberg." Reluctantly, he pointed to his eye, the one dyed blood red. "Every couple of nights, they take some people and 'experiment' on them. Happened to me a couple of nights back. And they can brainwash people, make 'em work for this place for a night."
The question about powers was far less crazy sounding in this place than Dairine would have expected. The god smiled reassuringly at her though. He knew powers were sometimes looked down on or feared in humans, so it shouldn't be too surprising. "Where I come from, youkai and humans live in the same world, and youkai can use plenty of magic. I'm a dab hand with a kekkai myself. And one of my best friends, that kid over there," he gestured across the room to where Goku was sitting, "was born from the concentrated spirit of the earth in a mountain. And on a more specific level for here? There's some people making weapons through something called 'alchemy' and I'm fairly sure there's plenty of others using magic."
