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...

Nightmares? If this Ryoji was like the others... That may not be a good thing. "About what, if you don't mind me asking?"

[Thanatos knew there were a lot of Minatos at the Velvet Mall, so could this one know about Nyx? Well, might as well ask.] Well ... What do you know about Nyx?

[sees-minato.livejournal.com]

Oh, Nyx... "Giant Shadow with wings that you turn into, really hard to defeat, can only be stopped by me. which will effectively killing me. Will come to try and bring the end of the world after we defeat the twelve Shadows that appear on the fool moon. Am I correct?"

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you're correct. [A sigh as he holds the Compendium to his chest.] It's been two years since that transformation and I still have nightmares about becoming the Nyx Avatar. It wasn't a gentle process, let me tell you...

[sees-minato.livejournal.com]

"... I'm... Somewhat familiar with that... Another Ryoji... Turned into Nyx while he was here."

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

[Looks up at that.] Another Ryoji became the Nyx Avatar while here, at the Velvet Mall? Wow... That's tough.

FFFFFFFF Wrong icon, sorry! D:

He can only nod. "Yeah... Igor was able to stop him though. If I remember right he... Separated Ryoji from Nyx... At the cost of his memories. Eventually, he went back to being Nyx though."

It's all right!

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

At the cost of his memories...? Still, he couldn't escape his fate. That's the same with me, I suppose. No matter who I become, I'll always be what I was born as. The Harbinger of Nyx.

He looks at Ryoji for a bit, sighing. "... That's not all there is to you though. Even if you go back to being the Harbinger of Nyx... It won't erase who you were as Ryoji. Right?"

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

[A slight smile.] That's right. I can become the Nyx Avatar, but Nyx can't become who I am.
