Velvet Mall // Open

[itsnotaleash]

[Thanatos is currently alone in the Velvet Mall rather late at night. He was tired but lately he could barely sleep at all with the realistic nightmares that occur whenever he had his eyes shut. Anyway, at the moment he is sitting at a table with the Compendium in his arms which he obviously took from Orpheus. He opens the book and leafs through a few of the pages before shutting it with a sigh. How was he supposed to save Orpheus from ceasing to exist when he couldn't even master Persona fusion quite right? He was such a lost cause ... If only he could just switch places with Orpheus. Except Orpheus would never allow that to happen. They both had to exist in the end... If only Thanatos knew how. He just didn't know enough and Orpheus only had a year left before he went back into the Seal.]

Worthless...

[Sighs and sets the Compendium down on the table so he can also set his arms on the book and then smack his head down without too much of a headache. He should really practice Persona fusion more but with Orpheus always suffering because of Nyx, Erebus now faffing about the Mall and his own nightmares of becoming the Nyx Avatar getting even worse, he was just too damn tired to care. What did it matter, anyway? In a year, he'll lose Orpheus and then it won't matter if he could fuse Persona or manipulate reality. He'll always just be Death without his Assistant.]

Can't I just dream of cute girls for once? ... Without having to drown in the hot springs? Ugh...

I really don't. Did that happen? I just met him not to long ago, so...

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that did happen. I'm surprised you don't remember that.

... [ B| Empty memories are empty. ] By the way, I apologize for tackling you. I suppose I lost my patience for a moment. [ A slight bow, then a soft sigh of well, frustration. CAN'T BREAK PROMISES. CAN'T. ]

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

... All right.

[Oh god, please don't hit me. That hole is still there in the linoleum.]

[silentafterglow.livejournal.com]

...

[ Stare. ]

Are... You scared of me?

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

No. That was just an impressive punch ... Look at that hole!

...

I still need to watch over you, when Orpheus returns to be the seal, you know.

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

... I'll have to be on my own.

[silentafterglow.livejournal.com]

I know that but...

[ Nggh. ;; What do you say to counter something like that. ]

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

... I don't know what will happen. If there's a way to save him I would take it for sure. No matter what it does to me. I'm sure you understand that...

[silentafterglow.livejournal.com]

I understand that, but I don't think Orpheus would want you do such a thing. [ Time to lean against the wall, and bang her head against it. ]

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

I know... Except, I just can't let him die.

[silentafterglow.livejournal.com]

... [ Bows her head slightly before letting herself laugh. The bloody hand she used to punch the floor with lifts up to brush her bangs out of the way before speaking. ] I'm not sure if there is a way to save him, but if I find out a way, I'll let you know.

All right...
