[Action 1] On random streets

[Elizabeth has just found Minato's body, she's moving kind of erratically, her face is pale (ok, its always pale) but her eyes are no longer dancing.  If you speak magic, she's saying a doozy in Lost Carcosan, if you don't speak magic those words would unnerve just about anyone.  Odds are she's not paying attention to you, but if you move towards her, she'll fluidly have a knife pulled and glare at you not looking quite right.]

[Action 2] 948 Beulah St!

[Elizabeth has just sat down on the stairs of a random house, she's not really paying attention, the knife is sitting at her side, she's stopped muttering in that horrible language, but she's muttering about a cell phone to call herself with.]

Joker is...

[She trails off as she suddenly recalls a very clear picture of the Joker himself, surrounded by victims who have been lost to their shadow selves. She shakes her head furiously.]

He's not the answer! You can't call him!

[Would he even appear here? She doesn't want to find out. She can't call up another picture like the first one, but the name alone keeps causing knots to form in her stomach.]

"What... Is the solution then? The howling madness speaks many things, but... I do not think the master would approve, but he is not here, or his power would cease this madness."

Even if he's not here, you should act as though he is. Do him proud. Just because he can't see you isn't any reason not to adhere to what he's instructed you to do otherwise.

"But... The contract was to protect the seals at all cost... He would not want me to go against the contract and I was unable to protect them. They wandered while I was unable to follow."

[Maya resisted the urge to sigh. This was going nowhere fast. She didn't much like coming up against problems she couldn't solve; "can't" was sort of a four-letter-word for her.]

It's not your fault that they wandered away from your protection.

"What options remain then? What is it to be without purpose or point? Or to know the end for so many is to come because of despair bred insanity?"

... I don't know. I don't have an answer, but -- I don't think extreme actions are the way to go.
