[Phone - Shortly after Grady's call]

Well, that was an amusing call.  "Stop the other residents and I'll grant you power and a way home"?

[A laugh]

What a line of crap!  I'd suggest all you idiots out there who think that this is your ticket home, stop and check your brains.  There's no fucking way they'll actual let you home after you stop everyone

"So have you led people on the same dance of deception, or merely been forced to waltz to its tune? It is curious to see how the human world works."

[elevatoravatar]

"I was... But in a twist of fate... So was he... Before it happened. It is... Irritating, seeing someone before you become... As you were."

[thunderousnei]

That I can imagine to be true... But perhaps this is something which needed to occur... Or it's just this place being it's usual self.

[elevatoravatar]

"I watch him, and will do what I can to keep this place from doing too much to break his spirit, for it is a spirit that will keep death at bay."

[thunderousnei]

If he's got that kind of spirit, he'll be fine, even with this place. That kind of guy won't stay down.

[elevatoravatar]

"I know so little of humanity. I hope that you are correct."

[thunderousnei]

I've lived with them for over a hundred years. I'm at least a decent judge.

However, you said he forfeited his own life to seal this "Nyx", right? Why did he forfeit his life? Fame? Friends?

[elevatoravatar]

"Sometimes the good of the many outweighs the good of the one. Nyx's herald agreed to seal Nyx away from what was trying to awaken her, if he would be kept company. That contract formed a great wall."

[thunderousnei]

Mm... He knew the consequence and accepted it so others wouldn't die then? If that's the case, no matter how hard he's hit, he'll find a way back up.

[elevatoravatar]

"That is.... Why I left the room.... To try and free him. It was odd. An odd feeling in my chest that I do not believe I was crafted to have."

[thunderousnei]

A sort of pain, and feeling that you wanted him back, by chance?

[elevatoravatar]

"With a twinge of purpose in felling the beast Erebus before humanity fells itself. A task that I know is impossible yet...."

[thunderousnei]

Why is it impossible?

[elevatoravatar]

"Erebus will be reborn as long as a single human wishes for his or her own oblivion."

[thunderousnei]

Then they'll just have to keep fighting.

[elevatoravatar]

"And.... I will wait. Though, perhaps, the end should come before it begins. Death is but a fleeting thing here, correct?"
