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...

[FREEDOM. Stands up and retrieves book before anything else. Then offers a hand to help you up. :|b Priorities.]

[Takes Orpheus' hand and stands up. Then he dusts at his suit and fixes his scarf a bit.] All right.

[You're good? Okay, you're good. Grabs by the waist and picks him up with the ease of one carrying a suitcase. Leaving time is now. Or something. I'm chaining you to the bed when we get back, you know.]

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

Ah - [Ffffff - Grabs Orpheus around the waist and holds on tight.]

[clockstopped]

[What the hell are you doing let go I need that spine for things.] ... Sir?

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

D... Don't drop me, Orpheus! [Clutching onto spine for dear life. HEY, USUALLY I'M THE ONE GANKING YOU. WHAT IS THIS.]

[clockstopped]

I'll drop you if you don't let go. [You'd better let go. Already contemplating dropping you on principle.]

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

[Let's go! Then just hangs there in Orpheus' arm like a limp cat.]

[clockstopped]

[Thank you. :| Back to walking then.]

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

[Watches the floor go by as Orpheus walks. ... Starts falling back asleep as well.]

[clockstopped]

[Go ahead and fall asleep. He's nice enough not to ram you into any doors at least.]

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

[He starts to fall asleep - Except right in that realm where consciousness becomes unconsciousness, he feels what seems to be feathers beginning to poke out of his body just like how his Nyx Avatar nightmare always start. Cue his body jerking back awake.]

[clockstopped]

[Sorry bro, the sudden seizure spasm thing makes us drop you. And quickly turns around to stare at you like it's your fault. You know, because it is.]

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

[THUNK. Oh thanks, Orpheus.] Ngh...

[clockstopped]

[Walking back over and crouching down to be right near your head. Stare.] All right?

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

I've been better ... [Rolls so he's on his back.]

[clockstopped]

[Yeah and now that you're on your back you can tell he's RIGHT IN YOUR FACE. Just you're looking at him upside-down. Enjoy blue hair in your face.] Again?

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

[Reaches up to play with the blue hair in his face. So soft...] It happens every time I go to sleep now...

[clockstopped]

Is it because she's here?

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

It's because Erebus is here with her! ... What if they really ...?

[clockstopped]

I won't let that happen.

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

You know you can't become the Seal for a second time! I'd lose you for sure!

[clockstopped]

But... Nn. [If it comes to that, you know I'd do it irregardless. I'm sorry. D: But hey, now he's standing back up and out of your personal space.]

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

[Wordlessly lifts his arms out towards Orpheus.]

[clockstopped]

[Adjusts hold on his Compendium to grab his arm with his free hand. And forcibly yank him back upright. Then back to silent as ever.]
