"This may be a bit of an odd question, however, I was forced into a horrible dark place and those who were under my care were disposed of.  I know not if I have the courage to face them again but...  Given how time is not a constant I am lost.  How does humanity cope with these things for, I fear being

[Lancer had either some very good or very bad timing. He was a distance away from Elizabeth and honestly hadn't even noticed her.]

[But he had, in fact, heard his name.]

What-...

[...the hell? She had said an incarnation of him was part of herself or something like that, right? But what the hell was that. It didn't look even remotely like him. It looked like some moron in way too much armor and a cape.]

[More than that, he looked like a girl.]

[So Lancer responded as he only thought was called for:]

IS THAT WHAT PEOPLE THINK I LOOKED LIKE?!

[elevatoravatar]

[Elizabeth pauses for a second, then looks towards Lancer]

"No... That is what the you from my world looks like."

[riastrad_ridire]

You're kidding. In what the hell kind of world did I ever look like that?

[elevatoravatar]

"No... Should I be kidding? I find the cape to be rather majestic. But there are as many worlds as there are dreams, perhaps we are merely others dreams and that defines how we look, perhaps not."

Elizabeth? You sound better. [Even so, her voice is unmistakable.]

The best thing to do right now is swallow your fear and see them again. Our friends give us strength! I'm sure they would love to see you again.

[elevatoravatar]

"I am no longer suffering madness brought on by this town's call for blood, but... I do feel... Wrong still."

"I just do not know if they want to see me, for it seems they were all hunted while I was separated from them."

[itswhoopasstime]

You worry too much! Of course they want to see you. I'm sure they won't hold what happened against you, Elizabeth.

Is that fear what's making you feel 'wrong,' or do you think it's something else?

[elevatoravatar]

"Perhaps... I don't know. I have never failed this way before, though, given the fact my contract is... It has not yet started even though it has. I do not know how to interpret it."

[sturmbahnfurher]

Merely face them. I should see no reason to fear, as death is meaningless here.

All there is is the sour taste of failure at having failed them.

[elevatoravatar]

"Yes, and the bitterness of being told not to seek vengeance. Humanity gives me headaches sometimes."

[sturmbahnfurher]

And hypocritical.

Vengeance is as human a desire as any.

[elevatoravatar]

"Ah, but vengeance is something I was taught. The more noble pursuits I was not, I simply was told to abide by them."

[At this point, Minato was worried sick over Liz. He hadn't heard from her since the event, so he's both surprised and relieved to find her in the neighborhood.]

Elizabeth.

Re: action 1

[elevatoravatar]

"Oh... Um... Minato... Hello."

[She looks down at her feet]

[doudemoe]

Glad to see you're okay.

[elevatoravatar]

"I... Yes."

[She sighs and keeps looking down]

"I am sorry I failed you."

[She bites her bottom lip]

Oh hi! You were the talkin' about the Joker right?

[elevatoravatar]

"Yes... At my darkest I was, for Joker is something that frightens even me."

[crazyclownwoman]

Aw, he isn't that bad. A little scary at times but he's a sweetheart really.

[Oh Harley.]

So how've you been doing now?

[elevatoravatar]

"Perhaps then the joys of love have tempered the deathly edge the Joker wields."

"I am... Confused. I am not in a place that I have been prepared to understand and this place is doing nothing to aide in that."
