OPEN POST: THE ANNIVERSARY

[gentleidealist]

THE ANNIVERSARY

[It's been exactly two years since Mithos took over Paradisa. That's two years of delightful massacres, scaring people into the Dead Zone, and manipulating former friends with the ageless face of a Kharlan hero. Two years of your character struggling to hold onto life as they know it while under the shadow of a fearsome ruler from another world. Two years of scraping to get by, cowering in the Dead Zone, waiting for a chance to go home or a death that Paradisa can't-- won't-- give.

There is nothing planned for today, though there are a few whimsical sort of changes that Mithos called for. The angels are on security detail as usual, policing the grounds; however, Mithos and his closest subordinates may be stepping outside. There is a grand feast set up in the ballroom... but angels don't eat, so it's really just for show. The place has the air of a graveyard party where even the dead decide not to attend.

There is an undercurrent of anxiety tonight, a breath held in anticipation. Something is about to happen, and even the insects are quiet.]

[ooc: HUGE OPEN MINGLING POST for characters who either reside in the castle as angelic little zombies, or people who are returning for whatever reason. Please don't threadjack something without notifying the muns in advance!

You are free to make your own sections if you'd like and I'll add them to this post :)]

[He tries.]

I can't say I approve.

[Fucking angels, man. He doesn't even know how they can celebrate this stuff when half of them don't seem capable of feeling much.]

There's no real need to head there now. I can help you collect supplies first.

[save_the_souls]

Neither can I.

[It's because they are crazy, that's why]

All right...thank you. I still wish to stop by a veterinary clinic - we need some medical supplies for our animals.

[mors]

[Stupid fruitloop angels.]

I thought we raided the veterinary clinic a few months ago? [Part way talking to himself.] Or maybe that was the clinic in the Castle...

[save_the_souls]

We did, but I don't think we got everything there. It's possible something is left.

I just don't want to risk going near the castle today.

[mors]

Then it's worth a look.

[He grins.]

If you have a list of things we need, I could try going to the Castle to get them.

[save_the_souls]

What-

But Ryoji! It's dangerous!

If the angels decide to come after me, they clearly don't know who they're dealing with.

[mors]

You only need to be inside the Castle to request things, do you not? As far as I'm aware, it's never mattered where you do the asking.

I could simply go to the Insolitus and request the items. Even if they notice me, I doubt they have many angels wandering those halls.

[Ryoji you're always so creepy when you say stuff like that stahp it. ]

The castle or the castle grounds, yes.

But only if you're sure, Ryoji...[Since yeah. He's pretty much geared into thinking that its DANGEROUS and he doesn't want to put his friend into DANGER]

[mors]

[But it's his specialty!!]

I wouldn't offer if I wasn't sure.

[He grins, reaching over to place a hand on Allen's shoulder.]

If I get into a poor position, I'll simply leave. There is nothing to worry about.

[save_the_souls]

[He'll offer his old friend a tired smile]

You should know by now I'll worry about you regardless.

But all right.

[mors]

[Ryoji's own smile softens a little, and he pats Allen's shoulder before pulling his hand away.]

I'm aware. It's one of the things I like about you.

And if you continue to worry about me, I'll simply continue to show you there is no need to worry.
