"This may be a bit of an odd question, however, I was forced into a horrible dark place and those who were under my care were disposed of.  I know not if I have the courage to face them again but...  Given how time is not a constant I am lost.  How does humanity cope with these things for, I fear being made that way again."

[Action]  1128 Taylor Road and the streets to 1764 Beaver Street

[Elizabeth notices an envelope addressed to her and stuffs it in her purse as she slowly moves through the streets, she will stop outside of 1764 Beaver street and stare at it for a while, before letting out a breath and turning away.]

[Action 2]  Park

[Elizabeth sits by the water, staring at the envelope.  Letting out a small breath she opens it, a single card coming out of it as she stands up staring at it.  The card starting to float just above her hand.]

"....Per....  So...  Na."

[The card is immolated in purple flame as a disembodied voice can be heard booming around.  "I am thou....  Thou art I.  I come from the sea of thy soul.  I am the hound of Ulster,Cú Chulainn!"  A figure that looks like this erupting from her.  http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/3/31815/956953-cuchulainn_large.jpg  (Click on the link, I'm too dumb to figure out the picture tag thismorning) ]

"I see..."

"You probably are like him... And house hundreds... I have made but 9 contracts."

[inababanchou.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't say hundreds, but I have more than nine registered with Margaret.

[ With that, he sits down at the edge of the lake. ]

Personae are very helpful, there's no question. I am very thankful for this power, but even then there some things Personae cannot help me with.

[ He picks up his fishing rod. ]

Have you fished before, Elizabeth?

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

"No. It is an act that I have seen little need for. The fish are content to be in the water, much as I am content to merely watch them. To remove them from that environment would be quite wicked."

[inababanchou.livejournal.com]

Hnnn, I'm a wicked man then, Elizabeth. Avert your eyes; you will be watching me sin.

[ Was that an attempt at a joke? With a Velvet Room attendant? Surely Souji is daft. But he'll try it anyway! ]

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

"No... I am not the one to sin for. Please. Were it my sister I would whole heatedly agree, but... My heart has already been given to another, and my contract is to save him from his fate."

[inababanchou.livejournal.com]

!!

Sorry Elizabeth, I didn't mean it like that. I just meant I was going to fish.

[ Was that what Margaret meant by sinning? He just thought of it as besmirching her Velvet Room duties. ]

"Oh... I see... That is the circle of life, the predator and the prey. I enjoy a meal as much as the next, but, have no real need to eat, so... I would rather the company of the fish."

[inababanchou.livejournal.com]

I do like eating fish, but I'll release them after catching them. I like fishing because it helps my concentration ability and it's relaxing.

... Also there was a guy in Inaba who would trade valuable items to use during battle for fish.

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

"How strange. I would sometimes give items for tasks completed, but never for fish."

[inababanchou.livejournal.com]

Tasks to complete for Minato? Margaret had a list of Personae for me to fuse together with certain skills. It was quite a challenge.

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

"I had those tasks too, but I had him fetch things from his world... Even to take me to see it. As well as to gather things from fallen shadows."

[inababanchou.livejournal.com]

[ He chuckles, speaking quietly, though still loud enough for her to hear. ]

He really is good at everything.

[ He's smiling. Souji is decidedly in a better mood. ]

My classmates would ask for items that I could get from fallen shadows, as strange as that is.

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

"How did they know what a fallen shadow possessed?"

[inababanchou.livejournal.com]

They would ask for items that shadows would coincidentally have. Like gears, or bits of string. Sometimes masks.

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

"How odd. Then again, things are rarely a coincidence."
