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...

"Particular people attract the same dreams over and over again."

Floating next to you now, and points at the big-ass book. "That...belongs to Orpheus, am I right?"

Well, it's more of a nightmare than a dream. It makes it so I can't sleep a lot of nights now...

[Sits up and holds the book to his chest.] That's right. It's the Compendium.

"I can see that." Dude, you look like hell frozen over. "Would you like my help, then?"

We're alternately staring at the Compendium, because Orpheus seemed pre-tty protective of that book, and at you, because you're looking like you're not letting it go any time soon.

Your help?

[... This Thanatos isn't very familiar with any Greek Gods. Also, he definitely is clutching onto that book as tight as possible. It is Orpheus' after all. Would suck if it was stolen.]

"I am the god of sleep, after all." Smiles a little. "And my brother is Death incarnate as well - you're similar in some ways."

Backing away slightly now, uh. "I can help you with your dreams. Would you like dreamless sleep?"

It must just be a Thanatos ideal to be Death Incarnate. Just like 'Thanatos' is the strongest Persona in the Death Arcana. Though, that's because of me... Heh. So you're really the God of sleep? ... I am not surprised.

[Chuckles.] I wouldn't mind dreamless sleep at all. Are there any catches, though? I wouldn't want my nightmares to get any worse... Or anything like that. Not that I don't trust you...
