elevatoravatar | 0 The Fool

[Waking up in a strange bed at 1128 Taylor Road didn't bother Elizabeth, nor did the frilly nightgown, or the odd man next to her. This was the world outside, though she remembered it being a bit different. It was odd though, she asked to go to the Abyss of Time to find what she was looking for, but the Master worked in odd ways. Heading downstairs she picked up the phone]

[Phone]

"Master... I am outside, the room, but, my compendium. My cards. My clothes. They seem to be missing. Is this a test? To live as those who are ignorant to the spirits and demons that people hide behind every day... Perhaps that is a better way to come to understanding Erebus and why it exists... I will endeavor to do you proud."

[Action 1]

[Elizabeth will be outside her house, wandering up and down the street, still in her nightgown, seeming in awe of just about everything]

[Action 2]

[She's finally dressed in her clothes from here, at least there were dark blue ones, but you can tell not having her hat bothers her, but she's in the library, taking each and every book down, looking at it, then setting it on the floor.]

[Action 3]

[She's in a shop that sells pianos downtown, playing a kind of creepy music that persona users, or anyone who Igor has played host to may be familiar with. She's quite good, just the music is a little creepy.]

A haunting melody that represents the soul of one being. How fitting that it actually can resonate with one's soul if you hear it while being very calm.

"It is that way on purpose... To facilitate the binding of spirits to souls..."

Mm... how often do you play this song?

"Now that I am no longer in the master's domain? Whenever the mood strikes."

'Master's domain'? Are you a servant then?

"I am an attendant. I handle the issues that require dealing with humans..."

That is giving the impression that you are anything but one.

"I am Elizabeth... An Avatar of Power... Well, now I am human, but... I am told that is to be expected here..."

An Avatar of Power? Quite an interesting title to own.

"It is the one given to me. I was birthed from the raw powers of the universe and mind."

[Oh, now he is getting more interested.]

So simply put, you are a living personification of these two aspects brought into a fleshed out existence, correct?

"Simply put... That is as good an explanation as any."

[He nods at this. That's a satisfying answer for now.]

And to be with a man that you call 'master' as well with all of this in mind... he must be an interesting man to meet with one day.

"Only those with contracts, or keys to the velvet room may meet the master. He is quite selective of those whom he grants power."

An enigmatic man only makes my curiosity grow even more. At any case... I have a proposal or a favor to ask of you.

"Alas, my hand is already awaiting another... But... A favor.. I will listen to."

Charming, but I was implying on making an offer when I say that. I have enjoyed you playing the song you were playing moments ago... my pro-- offer is that if I were to purchase a piano of your liking in return to call me by the phone lines, you would play the song whenever your mood strikes.

As for the favor, if you turned down the offer, is that you tell me when you plan to perform again here so that I may be here to listen.

"I have a piano at home.. However... The urge struck me here. I play when I ponder where my persona are... Especially Jack and Alice, and use this to try and call them back."

Persona... you are the second person that has mentioned about this. The art of summoning creatures, correct?

"Not creatures... Persona are gods and heroes... Angels and Devils... A mere creature may aspire to that some day, but... Not normally."

... to summon the gods, heroes, devils and angels... an interesting power but one to be used carefully.

"Indeed. That is why the master controls what persona can and can not be called."

Hm. Perhaps learning this art will give me an advantage over Rouge... but how to learn...

Are you capable of teaching others this ability?

"The art of persona is either granted by Philemon... Or found from facing your inner shadows... I can not grant this power."

And this Philemon being the master that you spoke of I'm assuming. And let's say for conversations sake that one controls the power of shadow so that you can summon your own shadow for your own use... even if I were to somehow be bestowed of this power, would this shadow power conflict with it or aid it?
