Niiv looked around curiously. He had no idea why he was suddenly in the Spirit Realm, along with all the all sentient beings who had been stricken with damnation. He had had a plan that involved control of hell, but with all of it's convicts gone it had lost all apeal to him. And what of his master plan? He had had the most brilliant plan and now there was no way he would be able to-
...Wait a minute, Niiv thought.
He then began to laugh hysterically. Oh, this would be brilliant!
The convicts of Hell doomed to spend eternity digging up nothing, now standing around actually doing nothing, would see a green, white, and black being fly into the center of the attention.
"Prisoners of Hell!" Niiv shouted with triumph. "Know this! I am you're savior! How long have you dug those rancid holes in the horrid realm of the Abyss?! How many years, no, how many CENTURIES have you been kept as far away from the freedom you once held dear?! And finally, how much do you
crave it?"
All eyes were on Niiv, and all mouths were silent.
"Well, crave it no longer!"
Niiv then did something many would believe was physically, magically, and spiritually impossible. However, these circumstances were ones that most people would have thought impossible. The convicts sentenced to an eternity of torment in Hell had been taken from Hell. As a result, all ties to it were severely strained. Niiv was also a being who had practiced magic for many centuries longer than many being who had studied for many centuries. And what were his greatest accomplishments?
Illusion and exportation.
Niiv had mastered the art of sensory deception, and the art of moving items across vast amounts of reality without them needing to physically move at all. His move, of coarse, was something along the lines of the latter of those two skills.
He opened thirty-two gateways to the world of the living.
It would appear as if reality were smoldering and being burned by acid. It smoked as holes burned from nothing, opening portals to various parts of the universe.
"I bet you all would like to revisit the world you once lived in, yes? I bet there are things you never crossed off your bucket list, people you never got revenge on, or things you've never been able to do in years that you miss. Well, my lovely convicts of Hell, here's your chance, Simply step through these, and you will be back; able to do whatever you want and reek as much havoc as you desire! Just promise me one thing: make it fun."
The image of Niiv winked. Niiv was a master of deception, but for once he was telling the absolute truth. As the first trillions upon trillions of damned spirits passed through, the ties they had to Hell, already stretched to their maximum potential would snap, and the damned would be free to roam the universe once more.
OOC: I believe we possibly now have a really awesome, widescale Event. Who said we ever needed staff to make one for us?

Just a thought.
(Also, I hope that didn't sound like a smack in the face to staff. I've actually been planning this for quite a while as just one of Niiv's
little pranks. If that's all it ends up being I'm content.)
