The Fool surrounded by 9 swords

[elevatoravatar]

[Elizabeth went by the Bank to greet Minato, but saw the drone, lacking his things and stopped, heading home.]

[Phone]

For those who knew him, Minato Arisato has returned to his fate, to keep Erebus and Nyx from meeting.

[Action] Park

[If you're at the part around dusk, you'll notice a complete lack of drones, and an somewhat off feeling. If you can sense magic, psychic things, the force, what have you, then you'll notice a choking darkness, part killing intent, part despair, part anger, all bad news. As you walk in there may be drones that are laying there, simply as if they died and further in, under a tree is Elizabeth, staring at the rising moon. The feeling of darkness seems centered around her.]

[His demonic senses may have been stripped from him, but he can STILL feel it. At least a bit. And it's not hard to imagine something like Elizabeth would be radiating it right now. Lucifer has no idea why he's bothered to seek Nyarlathotep's kin out, aside from the fact that she's the one remaining person who has any connection to the universes he is from left in Mayfield.

He looks over at her, quiet for a moment, before speaking.]

It was inevitable that he should go to the fate he had chosen.

You knew this would be the case, did you not?

[elevatoravatar]

Indeed, for the destruction of Erebus is my task. I however did not with to deal with Erebus' own kin mocking me.

[firstofthefallen]

None of Erebus' kin reside here, nor can they mock you here.

[He's relatively sure of that, at least. Certainly if something as strong as Erebus or Nyx or one of those who held relation with them had arrived in town he would have found out.]

[elevatoravatar]

This place is a breeding ground for that beast's food. Simply take a look at some of those here.

[firstofthefallen]

Is this meant to be a valid point?

Anywhere would be a breeding ground for what Erebus seeks as nourishment. Nor is he the only creature that feeds from it. There will always be the lesser, just as there will always be the greater that will balance it out and crush the lesser underfoot.

There will always be beings such as Minato who have the power to stop beings such as Erebus and Nyx. Who should be lesser, but can bring the greater to heel.

The moon waxes this evening, it would appear. [ The huge marine rumbles at Elizabeth. ]

Someone is missing. And I think it is affecting you as poorly as it has affected me, if not far more so.

[elevatoravatar]

To be lost awash in the waters of fate....

There's no way of knowing... What direction we are going... There's no knowing where we're rowing, or what direction the river's flowing... Is it raining, is it snowing... Is a hurricane a blowing?

[captainofthe10th]

I can't say. I can only counsel you to endure, and fight on. I know what it is like to lose you companions, those you care for. It has happened to me, both home and here, of late.

There is only vengeance on those who have done this to us, and justice for those that remain.

Allow them to focus and forge you into a weapon.

[elevatoravatar]

I sit surrounded by oblivion, some silent hunger gnaws at me, but it will not state what it is. While I do seek clarity, I know that this day was to come. Still.... To stare into infinity alone.

[gandere]

You're l-lying! That idiot couldn't have left!

[elevatoravatar]

I do not lie. Things that are always among him were gone. I can identify one lost to this place.

[gandere]

So what is it you're saying? That even though he's droned, he will not return?

[ Rin knows. She's seen the difference between the people who leave for good and those that are only gone for a day or two. If what this woman says is true, that Minato's belongings have disappeared, then it means he's gone from this place. Permanently a resident of Mayfield.

Just like she told him would happen.

It angers her really. There are very few she trusts and to lose another one before she can fill the other holes in her heart leaves her vulnerable. More so than she's willing to admit. It's easier to let anger take over instead of logic. ]

You have to be lying. That idiot will be back in a day or two. Then I'll enjoy rubbing it in your face.

[elevatoravatar]

If that is the case, I will enjoy having my face rubbed in it, but... I fear that is not how it will be. He has been sent to the wall and I am trapped here unable to free him.

Phone

[answerer_sword]

Arisato...has been droned?

[She wonders if this is a joke, but the tone seems too serious.]

What did he do?

[elevatoravatar]

He was no longer destined to be here and had to face his universal need.

[answerer_sword]

How do you know if this is a permanent droning and not just a temporary one?

[elevatoravatar]

Things that are his. Things this place returns are missing. That is usually the sign of one leaving.

[crazyclownwoman]

[Plops down next to you.]

Hey, I brought you some cookies.

[elevatoravatar]

[She looks over at Harley and tilts her head]

That was very kind of you. I wonder if that is what the hunger is for.

[crazyclownwoman]

Maybe, but even if it isn't. Cookies are always good for when you're sad.

[Passes her over some.]

[elevatoravatar]

[She takes a cookie and nods]

Thank you. I just must come to terms with his being gone and my purpose with him.

[party_hard]

[Hey, there's a sad person over there! Pinkie cares not about the feelings of darkness and whatnot, but THIS PERSON IS SAD.

IT CANNOT STAND.

And so a crazed pink pony leaps out of nowhere and lands right next to Elizabeth. Pinkie is on a mission. A mission for smiles.]

HI, THERE!

[elevatoravatar]

[Elizabeth peers from the moon to the Pony]

.....So the moon does bring madness.

[party_hard]

[Pinkie looks up at the moon a little confused. What are you talking about, silly sad person?]

You look really sad sitting there all alone like that! My name's Pinkie Pie! What's yours?

[elevatoravatar]

....I am Elizabeth. Sadness... Is that what this feeling is? It is not rage, for I know that well, as well as joy. You must be from the same dream Rarity is.
