*clap. clap. clap.* <br> <br> *A voice that would be familiar to anyone around a few weeks back would ring out, distorted though it may be.* <br> <br> &quot;A wonderful display, but nothing more.&quot;

It is merely in our nature. <br> <br> *he looks at the cowering Migrant* <br> <br> You sought the past, did you not? I've been keeping an eye on you. You think that clock may help you to find your past? <br> <br> The Kirijo woman is right, I don't tell lies. So I will leave you with this one truth. All you are doing is running away from the truth. The cold reality that you have no past. Succoth made you, and you are a jailer for this world. If you don't imprison them, they will destroy the Nexus, and leave you alone in the ruins. <br> <br>

*The shadow just grins to himself.* <br> <br> How dare I speak the truth? Well, if you're all so eager to get revenge on me, try to fix the poor girl's spirit. <br> <br> She's the only one who can truly stop me, anyway. <br> <br> We'll see on Monday... who the better other is. <br> <br> *A shroud of shadows appears around the other Migrant, before he sinks away into the ground.*

Is it so bad, though? You are already prisoners, you just don't realize it. If Nyarlathotep does not claim you, then Succoth will. <br> <br> All I'm offering is the chance to live. Slaves to no god, able to see whatever truths you desire. <br> <br> An ideal world. <br> <br> *glares at them all* You really want to fight? Hah! I could take you all myself. But not here. We'll have our fight, on the appointed day, and the appointed time. In heaven.

<span class='video' vid='https://www.youtube.com/embed/TBRBgxXQoRU'>Click to load youtube video</span> <br> <br> You know you can't stop Mammon like you are. Kalib, Joker, Em.... they're all better than you. You don't even have Raffles anymore! <br> <br> But I'll be merciful. I can help you save them, after all. You know that I can. <br> <br> All I need is one last thing... you to bring everyone to me. In my heaven they will never be in danger again. No Succoth, no Nyarlathotep, just peaceful imprisonment.

I am born of the Nexus, I was made by Succoth. That is what it means to me. <br> <br> And yes, I am a symptom of this death. <br> <br> If you truly believe that you can defy the apocalypse itself, then this battle should be no sweat for you. <br> <br> *he snaps as four shadows appear in front of the group. The Four Horsemen; Pale Rider, White Rider, Red Rider, and Black Rider.* <br> <br> Defeat these, and I will allow you to face me. *he says before walking through an open gate, and up a set of stairs... the gate slamming shut in his wake.* <br> <br> ++Battle Start++ <br> ++Player Turn++

*Well this update is easy. Joker downed the Red Rider!* <br> <br> All-Out Attack? <br> Y/N

++Narrative Update System V.IM (999) Loaded++ <br> ++Current Party:++ <br> Migrant <br> Yu <br> Joker <br> Aitome <br> Em <br> Honoka <br> Kalib <br> <br> OOC: By the way with Gamma ducking out that does leave an opening if someone was waiting around. Door was left open just run on in. <br> <br> <br> <br> IC: <br> *The room they enter is brightly lit. With yellow-white brick paths and fountains, while the edges of the path are lined with bushes and pillars covered in vines. The scene may churn at Yu's stomach... it's resemblence to the other Heaven he visited is strong.* <br> <br> So... you all wanted to know why I did this? Why I made Heaven? It's simple, really... <br> <br> The Nexus is dying. Slowly, yes, but ultimately is dying. Even my own existence is a symptom of that death.

OOC: Just a housekeeping note, with Kaib here I'm gonna cap things out for now. It'll reopen if people have to leave. <br> <br> <span class='video' vid='https://www.youtube.com/embed/TBRBgxXQoRU'>Click to load youtube video</span> <br> <br> IC: <br> Ah, you weren't there the other day, were you? I know all about you, Truthseeker. I heard from my Other Half, and from Nyarlathotep. <br> <br> *He grins* <br> <br> Now, you all want to 'kick my ass' probably? Make me go back to poor little Princess there? Well, if you want to, then come into Heaven. <br> <br> *he turns on a heel and walks into a room at the back...*

*Applause rings out sarcastically through the waiting room...* <br> <br> A puppet that had officially outlived her usefulness... <br> <br> I must admit, I didn't think so many of you would be stupid enough to come.
