DAY

Day


The sensation is like being dragged through a cloud. A heavy, roiling nimbus which pervades your eyes, your ears, your skin, and what feels like your very soul. Or what's left of it.

Your eyes squeeze shut and when they open....well you know this place already, there was much ado about lampposts in this square not too long ago. But what you haven't known in how many weeks is the sun hanging high overhead, not stuck in a perpetual state of Twilight but properly shining in the sky.

The sun feels good and you feel more whole than you have in a while. Those are all inexplicably good things, and they should be celebrated. But the mark on your body, faded but still visible warns of something still more to come. And for those who have been missing a part of themselves for longer than that..it's just a whisper of a feeling, but it is very much real.

Welcome to Krakow, for real this time. For however long it lasts, at least.

[After seeing Iago's information there:]

Ah. That explains why Rembrandt laughed when I called the Lady a demon.
tokihanate: (o rly now)

You called her a demon? [ Guess who's also laughing. ]

At that point we already knew that she jumps from body to body, I was trying to probe for more information about the nature of that power by jumpstarting the conversation with a bit of humor. But he stubbornly refused to give any information away.
tokihanate: (how stupid are you)

[personal profile] tokihanate 2020-02-12 10:49 pm (UTC)(link)
That remmywemmy's way too loyal to such a tool of a person. I don't suppose they could get her to evil monologue that she's fulfilled and got everything she wanted so he'd eat her stupid soul already.

If we knew the details of her deal with Rembrandt, then that might not be a bad idea. If he is a demon, then surely he's in it for some kind of contract, right? For...souls, or something?

[That's how things go with demons right???]
tokihanate: (go on then)

[personal profile] tokihanate 2020-02-12 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, for her soul specifically. A Faustian contract. You sell your soul to the devil in trade for his services.

Personally, I don't believe in such nonsense, but here we are in a world with its own set of rules, so there's not much choice.

[Suddenly he looks very Concerned.]

Those 'Faustian contracts'. They have to state that it's a contract, right?
tokihanate: (huh)

[personal profile] tokihanate 2020-02-12 11:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm? I don't know. The passage I read in those demon books wasn't that specific. A lot of was speculation of course, about different types of demons too. But if she summoned him, a contract's probably going to be involved sooner than later.

[personal profile] notbymyside 2020-02-12 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
...probably, yes.

[He's going to try not to worry about his other worry too much. Even if Rembrandt called it a 'last request' when they discussed it.]

So tricking her into saying the contract is fulfilled and letting Rembrandt handle the rest is a possibility. But would that strand them in the Night?
tokihanate: (what's your name again)

[personal profile] tokihanate 2020-02-12 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm~ It'd depends on how we got here in the first place I suppose. If it's also remmywemmy's doing then.... well. I guess we'll have to find another way.

[ He hmms because the Goddess had teleported him into another dimension to save him... if he could get his powers back, maybe... But he wasn't Aoi. And he didn't have his powers. ]
