[ Desmond has been on the run. Ever since the Abstergo agents found him and Clay in the small bar in the Business District. He told Clay how to get inside the Vila Auditore through the back way. Then, he ran. It feels like it's been years since he ran for so long and so far. Using the skills he has learned from his ancestors: Altaïr and Ezio. Dodging, weaving, blending in. Hell, he even ditched his normal clothes and dressed up like he was someone else new. He has kept his phone off, too paranoid that Abstergo could find a way to track the calls and find him. He's wondering how the hell Abstergo showed up without any of them knowing, but, maybe they were always in Mandalus and they just never realized it.
The phone turns on as he pulls it out of his pocket. Desmond didn't intend for it to, but, sometimes these things have a mind of their own. He sets it down on the post of the dock he's on. He's made his way into Old Town without being found so far. And he's determined to keep the Templars away from the Villa. ]
They just keep coming... God, how many of them are there?
'I told you, Desmond. These guys are everywhere. They're in everything.'
[ Desmond freezes and turns around, eyes wide. The voice of the woman can be heard, but she can't be seen. ]
No. It can't be. How are you even--
'Desmond. Your ancestor is here and you're wondering how I can be here? You know that these people here don't care about the order that events are supposed to happen.'
But, I ... Juno made me, but I--
[ The woman steps into the screen and smiles at Desmond. There's a large blood stain on her side, barely visible around her jacket. She reaches up, wrapping her arms around him. ]
'It's alright. I understand. Sometimes we have to do things we don't want to do. I'm sorry.'
What? What do you have to be sorry about, Lu--[ he stops midway through her name and stares down at her. Lucy steps away, the throwing knife from Altaïr sticking out from Desmond's side. The same spot that her blood stain is for her. A moment passes and Lucy then pushes Desmond off the dock, into the water.
And then the feed ends. ]
(( ooc: replies will be coming from Desmond, just several hours delayed. ))
