[The NV is propped up on something that gives a sweeping view of rooftops and Serrure in profile. Light fades as night is coming on and he's seated on the edge of a building's roof, feet dangling over. There's no worry in his face, just a pensive expression and he speaks as though to himself, though the words are obviously meant for an audience]How

Most have plans...some are simple; others' span to eclipse the entirety of their existence.

Which one are you? Simple or span to eclipse...yeah, what you said.

More profound than most may fathom.

Mm. Care to elaborate or shall I have to guess?

[flipdatpage]

I am Destiny. The plan I carry lies within my book.

[doeswhathewants]

[Unadulterated holy crap expression]

But that's- wow. Isn't your world going to, you know, miss you there?

[flipdatpage]

[he gets that a lot...]

I shall return there, in time. For now, my place is here.

[doeswhathewants]

[He probably gets this one a lot, too...]

I hope you don't mind my asking, but, what is it you do? I mean, as a person. Entity. Uh...personification?

[flipdatpage]

[Not as much as Loki may think. Most are too upset with him to get that far.]

[Destiny does not correct him. All three are technically true.]

I read. Everything that was, is, and shall be resides within my book. The story must continue. The pages must turn.

[doeswhathewants]

[Serrure hoped none of them were insulting. Because really, he's not quite sure what Destiny is. Though he is rather sure this Destiny isn't of his world.]

Now that sounds interesting. Though.. do you get to do anything story worthy?

[flipdatpage]

I...have indeed been included in its narrative from time to time. The instances are notably rare, but just as vital as any of the Endless' paths.

[it was a change of pace to be asked about himself rather than what was predestined to occur. Destiny has no qualms with imparting knowledge of the past. History was the basis of any story.]

[doeswhathewants]

[He'd rather not know what was predestined to occur. But the concept of a personification of ... well, a concept... now that was interesting.]

An Endless. Is that what you are? Hm. Fitting classification, I think.

So what did you do that was included in the narrative?

[flipdatpage]

There was an old necropolis. Its name long forgotten in the twisting sands. The people of that necropolis had no love for their duty. They treated the dead as mere bodies and disregarded the rituals. One day we Endless approached them. They denied us our request and I rose my had and spoke: This is not a true Necropolis. Your charter is revoked. This is no longer a city. It is over. It is ended.

A great wind swept over the city and the earth swallowed up the stone and the rivers dried, revealing bones. The necropolis crumbled to dry sand. It was no more.

[for a moment, the screen goes dark as Destiny flips the page and smooths it down.]

Another time the Grey Women came to me, to the land of no beginnings. We spoke and I returned to my abode. I would hold a gathering of my brothers and sisters. It was the catalyst to a chain of events that, once set in motion, would end unfavorably.

[doeswhathewants]

Whoa, you wiped out an entire uh- I'm not sure what a necropolis is, so I'm just going to say city- an entire city of people just by, by saying you revoked a charter?

How did someone as powerful as you get stuck here?
