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 can show you. [Pulls out another card so it can float next to the one he already pulled out a little while ago.]

[greekreaper.livejournal.com]

"O-okay. Sure!"

YAY WE'RE LEARNING SHIT.

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

[First he sets the Compendium into his lap before he sets the cards face up down on the table. He takes a moment to gaze at the cards before whipping his arm out in front of him so the cards flip. He then raises his arms so the cards float into the air so they can brightly glow blue before flashing and then revealing a Persona in front of them. It's an Alp!

Who simply lounges out on the table while twitching her tail and giving the older Thanatos 'come hither' looks.]

[greekreaper.livejournal.com]

"Wow..." We recognize what that is! So, sorry Alp, come hither looks ignored.

"S'pretty cool." Can I have this job instead? Would you like to trade?

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

Thanks. [Smiles. Would you really want to trade away this job from him? It seems to be his only grasp at sanity right now. Also, he would be the worst reaper ever. No one would die.]

[greekreaper.livejournal.com]

"Mmn." He nods and keeps flipping though. Of course, he wouldn't WANT to take this job away. That would be rude.

...Oh look, we've flipped to where "Thanatos" is. Huh.

Be right back, staring.

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

Found 'Thanatos,' already?

[greekreaper.livejournal.com]

It must be fated

He's just...looking at the ablities listed (assuming they ARE listed) and...yep. They're there. All of them.

"Ah. Yeah." This feels weird. Like he's being stalked or something.

It doesn't help that it looks like that form.

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

That Persona can only be used by Orpheus. It's an imprint left from living inside of him for those ten years...

[greekreaper.livejournal.com]

"Ah. I see."

Pffffft-wow.

"...Everything's in here." Does the Collective Unconscious really know him that well?"

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

It sure is. It's just missing a few of my own skills. I got those from being the Nyx Avatar, though, so they're obviously not going to be on an imprint ... [Thanatos taps the Alp which makes it transform into a card. He then takes it and sets it into the Compendium before pulling out another card from the pages. He looks at it curiously for a moment before breaking it like one would with a saltine cracker. It then glows. Ta da! A Thanatos is now over the real Thanatos' head as if this was an everyday occurance.]

[greekreaper.livejournal.com]

WHOA WARN A GUY BEFORE YOU DO THAT.

He kind of starts a little, but he's calming down now that he realizes this Persona isn't going to go on a rampage.

"...Wow."
