The Tower crossing a Reversed Queen of Swords

[elevatoravatar]

[Action 1] On random streets

[Elizabeth has just found Minato's body, she's moving kind of erratically, her face is pale (ok, its always pale) but her eyes are no longer dancing.  If you speak magic, she's saying a doozy in Lost Carcosan, if you don't speak magic those words would unnerve just about anyone.  Odds are she's not paying attention to

[It's completely by accident that Maya comes across Elizabeth sitting on her doorstep; nearly tripping over her on her way outside. She frowns to herself as she catches the bit about calling herself. That's never good news, in her experience.]

Are you okay?

[elevatoravatar]

[She peers up at Maya with those creepy gold eyes]

"I need a cellular phone... To invoke something to deal with the loss of persona... Do you have one?"

[itswhoopasstime]

[Maya shakes her head.]

Not since coming to Mayfield, anyway. Did you say "persona?"

[Huh. That strikes a chord, somehow. And what's with this woman's eyes?]

[elevatoravatar]

"Yes... The master said never to invoke it but... Given how Erebus has taken over, the Joker curse couldn't be any worse..."

I don't think that will be necessary, Elizabeth. What happened?

[He crosses to her without fear in his craggy visage.]

[elevatoravatar]

[As long as he keeps 15 or so feet away he won't have a knife pulled on him]

"The seal is dead.... Must find a cellular phone..."

[lunawolves10th]

A cellular phone? The phrase is unfamiliar. I.... think you should get somewhere safe. Will you come with me?

[elevatoravatar]

"There is no point. The seal is dead. Humanity is doomed all for someone's inability to tell the town's lies."

Action 1

[inababanchou]

[ Is that... Elizabeth? ]

[ Souji sees the Velvet Room attendant. He fails to recognize her in her even gloomier state. He also doesn't realize she's staggering and she's also muttering dark, ominous words. With no reservation he runs to her.

Unfortunately Souji does not know that Minato died. Also unfortunately he does not know that Elizabeth will lash out at anyone who approaches her so closely, much like he is. ]

Elizabeth.

[elevatoravatar]

[Her eyes unfocused, there is a knife in her hand before Souji gets within 10 feet]

"...The seal is dead. Humanity is dead."

[inababanchou]

[ Souji freezes in his tracks. THe visual cue of Elizabeth holding her knife set forth a series of motions all working faster than the man could cognitively process it. In a matter of mere tenths of a second Souji shifted all of his weight to the balls of his feet, his hand was drawing his sword while the other took up a defensive block position as he lowered his body. ]

!?

E-Elizabeth! What are you saying?

[elevatoravatar]

"Dead... Minato... The seal... 5 billion condemned to Nyx's embrace. Because they fell for this town's ruse."

"You will bring me a cellular phone."

[Hand now behind his back, holding his own knife.]

Careful with that.

[elevatoravatar]

"The streets are covered in blood and I need reach my goal. Let me pass and there is no need to worry."

[forgottenshiki]

[Steps aside, still cautiously watching.] Go ahead, I have no reason to stop you.

The one you're after, did they kill someone?

[elevatoravatar]

"No they did not, nor will they be killed by my hands, or any other hands if I have my say. They know things, things I need to know."
