((ooc: Liz is suffering from Minato never existing so she may be a bit odd))

Action 1 - Park

[Elizabeth was in the park, petting a cat, looking less amused by the world and more irritated by it as she talked to it]

So here we are in a fake world filled with fakes. Fitting since mine was destroyed, did you know that? The one I was tasked to aid in its protection lost because not a single one of these humans had the courage to sign a simple contract. [She offers it a bit of fish and sighs] I suppose I should be happy that my brother's world found someone, but he was chosen to deal with those things, and ultimately that led to my sister being able to help but to sit at the sidelines and watch. It almost makes one wish to see these things lost to some monster that would devour them. Not like the Joker curse, that was apparently something in all of them but something to just destroy them, since that was all they apparently dreamed of.

Action 2 - The streets

[Its cold out and Elizabeth seems to be collecting wood for a fire when a drone man comes out of its stupor for a second and goes on about something dronish. A little girl appears next to Liz and giggles in a sinister way before uttering "Sir... Will you die for me?" as the drone just drops dead and Liz continues on her business, stopping only to put on the hat the drone was wearing.]

Its not even the right color....

[She peers at him for a moment]

Yes? Oh. One of the town fakes. It was a devoured soul anyways, which... Is probably more than I can see from yours... Whoever you are trying to mimic.

doudemoe: (son i am disappoint)
From: [personal profile] doudemoe
[...Well, of course she would see him as a fake. But he's more alarmed by her murder spree, not to mention she seems to have forgotten him. (The "real" him anyway). For the first time, he raises his voice at her.]

Liz. Don't do this.

[Or well, tries. :|a]

From: [identity profile] elevatoravatar.livejournal.com
Do what? I am trapped here, I can not even wait for another Earth that may have a contract to help. No my brother and sister had those honors. I merely sit and log things for the master. It is better for shells to be devoured than to end up as beacons for the shadows.

doudemoe: (It was *that* big?)
From: [personal profile] doudemoe
[...It couldn't be.]

Death wasn't...stopped?

[His voice sounded very small now. Even if it wasn't shot from caroling so much, it would be now regardless.]

Date: 2011-12-22 06:19 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] elevatoravatar.livejournal.com
No one even took the contract, Nyx was awakened, and devoured all. It was as if humanity collectively rolled over in defeat.

Date: 2011-12-22 07:11 pm (UTC)
doudemoe: (are you out there?)
From: [personal profile] doudemoe
[...Give him a moment to process that.

So them being "erased" wasn't a lie after all. He had disappeared, and because of that Aigis was forced to fight Death. And failed. And the whole world followed suit.

But, he's here now. What did that make him?]

From: [identity profile] elevatoravatar.livejournal.com
...Was there something you needed of me, or did you simply wish me to call little Alice to end it all for you?

doudemoe: (How do I juggle this harem)
From: [personal profile] doudemoe
[Who is he?

1. I'm a fake.
2. I'm real.
>3. It doesn't matter.

Right. What he is was never his concern. The main thing now is to convince Liz to stop this.]


No need.

I see, well, despite the fact you seem as an impostor at least you do not simply yearn for oblivion.

[She shrugs]

doudemoe: (cannot express this feeling)
From: [personal profile] doudemoe
No. And I don't wish it upon the world either.

[Firm stance. His Evoker is back on him.]

It is a shame that no one on my world felt that way strong enough to do something about it.

No, there isn't. All of humanity died. Nyx came and before I was brought here... I was tasked with feeding the cats.

Perhaps if you wish to converse you should get something for your throat.

Not everyone here is fake. I know for a fact that we are real.

[Bazett looks even more awkward than usual dressed in her drone husband's suit, which is a little too big for her. Plus, she had pulled two consecutive all-nighters between being droned and then piecing together her notes.]

It is just the town playing games with us again.

From: [identity profile] elevatoravatar.livejournal.com
[Elizabeth peers at her, its not a mean spirited look, or even a dark one]

Are you a human?

Date: 2011-12-22 05:51 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] answerer-sword.livejournal.com
Right now, yes.

[Just her disheveled, half-insane look is enough to set her apart from the drones.]

Are you?

Date: 2011-12-22 05:52 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] elevatoravatar.livejournal.com
No. I was created to help them overcome a darkness that would destroy their world, yet none stepped up and that world was snuffed out anyways. Perhaps all humans are now fakes in my eyes. A mockery of what could have been were one with the appropriate courage available.

Date: 2011-12-22 06:01 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] answerer-sword.livejournal.com
Oh.

[She is not sure what she can say in response to that. How did you try to comfort someone who had lost their entire world?]

Perhaps...there was a purpose to the destruction of your world? My superior always said that whatever happens in life, whether for good or bad, always has a purpose, even though sometimes the purpose is unknown to anyone but God. And at other times, it is not for us to judge whether some event is good or bad because what seems good can actually turn out to be bad, and what seems bad can actually turn out to be good...

[For some reason, she thinks that her words will probably not be of any help.]

Date: 2011-12-22 06:03 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] elevatoravatar.livejournal.com
Humanity simply chose that it wished to self destruct. I know that my master had an open contract for one to stand up and stop this, and I know that none did. While other realities had contractors to stand up and do so, mine did not. To exist as an attendant to one who has not the courage to life.... Humanity as a whole has little designation other than fakes.

Date: 2011-12-22 06:11 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] answerer-sword.livejournal.com
Perhaps you just offered the contract to the wrong person.

[Not everyone is up to the physical and mental strain of saving the world.]

Date: 2011-12-22 06:12 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] elevatoravatar.livejournal.com
No. The contract was an open pact, open for any to make. None did.

Date: 2011-12-22 06:18 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] answerer-sword.livejournal.com
Did you actively offer it to anyone or were they expected to become aware of it by themselves?

Date: 2011-12-22 06:20 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] elevatoravatar.livejournal.com
I was the attendant. The master said dreams were sent to all who had a spirit that could, yet none answered. None wished to be held accountable for their own actions.

Date: 2011-12-22 06:49 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] answerer-sword.livejournal.com
I see...

[The fact that a world has been lost through inaction is tragic. It is more tragic when her words hit so close to home. Because of Bazett's own inaction in her dreams, she had almost lost her allies. It is only slightly less painful to know that she had only lost her memories.]

There was a time before now when I would have told you that you are wrong. I would have told you that I, at least, would have fought.

[But she had not. When she had been offered the choice, she chosen the coward's route and allowed the girl named "Rin Tohsaka," who she can no longer consciously remember, choose to bear the burden. She had chosen to let that girl, as well as others, be forgotten by the town and then receive nothing but spite as a reward for their sacrifices.]

Now I know better. Perhaps, it is as you say--the people who are actuall "real" are gone, at least in our memories, and it is us "fakes" who remain.

From: [identity profile] elevatoravatar.livejournal.com
I know not what this town does, or why it breeds those who's souls scream out fraud or genuine. I ceased to care about such trivial things long ago. Perhaps some great source of oblivion will be awakened to devour this place as well, it is not as if its so called defenders care, and I can see for certain that the inmates would in many cases welcome that.

Date: 2011-12-22 07:30 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] answerer-sword.livejournal.com
You are wrong about that. We crave escape, not oblivion. You might not care, but I am certain most of us still do.

...Even if we are just what you would call "fakes."

Date: 2011-12-22 10:30 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] elevatoravatar.livejournal.com
But what beyond escape? Some destiny to hide from, or just some routine to become lodged in for eternity?

Date: 2011-12-22 10:33 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] answerer-sword.livejournal.com
...I suppose for me, it would be a routine.

[What did she have waiting for her back at home beyond missions?]

But we would never be able to confront our destiny or break out of the routines if everything was to be destroyed.

[There is a certain degree of bitterness in her reply]

Yes... There is that.

Date: 2011-12-23 02:29 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] answerer-sword.livejournal.com
I might not be the one to change our destiny. I know that I was too cowardly when offered that choice. But I also know that there are people in this town who were willing to take it. It's just that we have forgotten them. I will get my memories of them back and figure out how to undo this. And then you can talk to them about your problems.

[She shrugs a bit]

This place is a realm of dark things that feed off of dark feelings. Its tortures are just long enough to gain sustenance and keep us prisoners off guard I believe.

Date: 2011-12-23 08:15 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] answerer-sword.livejournal.com
Then isn't it more important to not feed it? If we can continue to hope, then this town will not win.

[Though she does not know if her current feelings can be called hope, or if they are simple stubborness.]

Date: 2011-12-23 08:20 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] elevatoravatar.livejournal.com
Hope is a human trait, something that I have never seen. So I will just feed the cats I think. That and send the broken souls back to see if they can be restored.

Date: 2011-12-23 08:25 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] answerer-sword.livejournal.com
I suppose that cannot be helped. I will see you again some other time, I guess.

[She starts walking off, feeling oddly uneasy.]

Date: 2011-12-23 08:49 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] elevatoravatar.livejournal.com
[She nods and goes back to feeding the cat]

[ Shana just stares Liz down, and she asks her. ]

What are you doing to the drones?

Date: 2011-12-23 07:42 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] elevatoravatar.livejournal.com
Separating the fake souls so that any traces that may remain can return to where they belong.

Date: 2011-12-24 05:48 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] flameyedhunter.livejournal.com
Mou! Some of those drones were our friends!

Date: 2011-12-24 11:27 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] elevatoravatar.livejournal.com
And their souls have departed, leaving nothing but a walking shell.

Date: 2011-12-26 02:39 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] flameyedhunter.livejournal.com
That still doesn't make destroying them right.

Date: 2011-12-26 02:51 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] elevatoravatar.livejournal.com
I do not know, it seems more pleasant than existing in a half reality, soul trapped yet forced to experience the tedium of someone else's dark dream.
