[Crackplot] Horror growing in the back room

[big_bad_melkor]

From the dark confines of the vortex of nothingness where his consciousness lurks, Morgoth has been observing. Waiting. Counting

[Iphigenia-Morgoth]

[ohmaiden]

Iphigenia's not sleeping well tonight for some reason. She keeps thinking of home, and of course, thinking of home means thinking of her death.

She tosses and turns in her bed, and finally gives up, sitting up and looking out the window. The wind blows and ruffles the curtains, and she shivers a little, partly from the chill, partly from fear.

She's a perfect target.

ooc: so yes, Iphi's thinking about her death, so Morgoth can certainly exploit her trauma. >.>

A voice insinuates itself in her head, in a sinister singsong.

Daddy's girl
Little Doe
Soon to go
Soon... soon....

She starts. "What--?" Thinking it was her half-asleep mind playing tricks on her, she lies back down and closes her eyes.

The only daughter of the House of Mycenae... so precious... your blood so young. The gods call, sweet daughter.

It would be one thing if someone else, someone concrete were saying this--she could run, tell them to stop.

But this sounds like it's coming from within her.

"Nonononono--stop----please!" she begs, holding her ears. "Stop!"

The murmur sounds calm, reasonable, as if talking to a child throwing a tantrum. It is profoundly dispassionate.

Destiny cannot be stopped, little girl. Even unpure and soiled as you are, I will take this offering.

Re: [Iphigenia-Morgoth]

[ohmaiden]

"--No!" she says again, starting to shake a little. "You can't--stop--I'm safe here--!"

Re: [Iphigenia-Morgoth]

[big_bad_melkor]

Noone is safe from me unless I will it.

The tone is quite calmly final.

Re: [Iphigenia-Morgoth]

[ohmaiden]

"No--get out--!" She's certainly shaking now, almost crying.

Re: [Iphigenia-Morgoth]

[big_bad_melkor]

Oh, he's going to have those tears.

Resisting will only make this harder, sweet Iphigenia.

Re: [Iphigenia-Morgoth]

[ohmaiden]

"--What do you want from me?" She is indeed crying now, desperate.

Re: [Iphigenia-Morgoth]

[big_bad_melkor]

The answer comes calmly, in calculated words. Your blood.

Re: [Iphigenia-Morgoth]

[ohmaiden]

"--No--but why?" she asks, almost begging.

Re: [Iphigenia-Morgoth]

[big_bad_melkor]

Because I want it.

It's very much like a child reasoning, minus the cute voice.

Re: [Iphigenia-Morgoth]

[ohmaiden]

"--This isn't right--" she protests, shaking a little.

Re: [Iphigenia-Morgoth]

[big_bad_melkor]

It is just as it should be.

Around Iphigenia, in the dream, blood starts seeping through.
