Elizabeth peers into her journal, with what could ALMOST be considered a look of concern on her face as she furrowed her brow slightly. Since she lost most of her power she no longer is certain that she can simply one shot sure kill Erebus were he to appear here and this has caused some concern.

"This celebration that I see being prepared for. The one to bring forth one of the many Messiah figures in the darkest of times. It is not in reality a celebration of ennui designed to wake Nyx from her slumber or to feed Erebus? I have noted on my world much of the food of Erebus comes at this time of year and I remember my first guest had to stop the awakening of Nyx now."

She shakes her head slightly, "If that is so there are other ways. Oblivion is not a good choice and while things seem dark feeding the beasts that would destroy the wall and end the pain is a bad solution. While I do not have the proper materials here to give quests to break the tedium here, I perhaps can assist in thinking of other ways to pass the time than oblivion? I have even seen children roped into this, please, perhaps I could..... Find a game?"

[...what?]

[He didn't get half of what she said (well, more than half). Something about what he could only assume were bad things and oblivion, and once again he was left wondering just what the hell happened with the Velvet Room guest before him.]

We're not celebrating oblivion. The opposite, really.

"But I remember the festivals and attention to revive Nyx when my first guest fought. It was at this time of year. Also frequently Erebus gains much of its power now."

That might have just been a coincidence; it's Christmas season right now, so people start getting ready to give gifts to their loved ones.

[He paused a moment, worry flicking over his face.]

Elizabeth, what is Erebus?

"Erebus is one of the titans of myth, a beast that seeks to awaken Nyx and when Nyx awakens all her children will cease to live."

She looks down and shakes her head, "Humanity can trace some of its beginnings to Nyx so were she to come to wake well...."

And... Christmas is supposed to awaken Erebus?

[That... well, that was disturbing. He lost count of how many times his family had celebrated Christmas. But it was because they were happy to be alive...]

[...he was almost certain that she was deliberately being confusing at this point.]

"No, Erebus was originally awakened by the companions of my guests' grief for his passing, and the massive amounts of ennui that exist on the world fed it into a terrible thing. Nyx was the one that awoke shortly after the winter solstice. Did not terrible things happen afterwards? I was too busy trying to find the answer alone at that time I may have missed things."

I… don't know. When did all of this happen?

"I believe the year was 2090? No. 2900? That doesn't sound right either. Time is a concept that I am still working to understand and there was a 2 and a 9 in the year with little else."

[...she must mean 2009; so two years ago?]

...I don't remember anything like that happening.

[Well, there was a big hype about some kind of disease going around... somewhere. He hadn't really paid attention to the news back then as much as he did now.]

"Did the world know of your ordeal? Frequently one of the terms of the games that lead to contracts is that they are not to disturb the plans of the victor. When evolution wins there is no need to cause panic among everyone."

Not... what we did, no. Anyone we tried to tell about it... well, they didn't believe us.

[To put it mildly.]

"So another ordeal may go equally silent, correct?"

True, but that doesn't seem very likely here. The place itself seems to want to let us know when things go wrong.

"But the ordeal at home wasn't here. It was was on the artificial island."

Artificial...

[WAIT A MINUTE.]

You mean Tatsumi Port Island?

"Yes I do."

She nods

[...why is it every place he ends up at had something weird going on?]

...I don't think this world follows the same rules, but I'll keep an eye out... okay?

"Excellent! We shall both keep watch since I do not believe I am strong enough to deal with it on my own should the need arise."
