003- [action] Where devils and demons presence does grace.....

[lonelyremnant]

[Oichi already had a poor grasp on reality. The sudden scenery change unhinges it completely, and she's mentally back in the remains of Azuchi castle. She can smell the blood and the smoke and see the bodies. Actually... it's not all that different. Except for the pile of skulls. Mayfield doesn't have one of those yet. So after wandering around in

Who can say? The battle's not quite over yet.

[Despite the destruction that had taken place and the horrors of the sights around Oichi, a man remains smiling and in good spirits. His hands are in his pockets, a casual gesture implying that he takes comfort in the sights around him. The man, though, doesn't seem dangerous. He isn't carrying any weapons and all the townspeople were stripped of their powers.]

[lonelyremnant]

[Hmm, let's see, good spirits amid a lot of destruction? She looks at him and sees someone else. Someone she's very familiar with. Akechi Mitsuhide.]

You.....

Why have you done this? Do you still wish to see Brother so badly?

[in_laquetti]

This? This wasn't my work.

[The woman didn't seem at all of sound mind. There's no use in keeping up a facade with her.]

I didn't need to do a thing for this all to have happened. That's amusing in its own way, I suppose.

[lonelyremnant]

[Yeah, don't bother. She's totally out of it.]

Yes.....

I suppose this was always our fate. No escaping it. No escape at all....

[rogersthat]

[There's a gentle hand on your shoulder. Hi crazy not!wife.]

Thank god. I thought you got hurt or something. Are you okay? You didn't sustain any injuries did you? [He has no idea that her grip on reality is even farther gone then usual.]

[lonelyremnant]

[She cringes at first, expecting to be struck. When she looks up, she isn't quite recognizing him right away.]

Forgive me.... I couldn't stop him. I am...

too weak....

[rogersthat]

[He holds you close. He needs to protect her from whatever is happening...]

Don't blame yourself. It isn't your fault.

Whatever just happened isn't your fault. It's whoever is in charge of this monstrosity.

[lonelyremnant]

[The tears begin to slow more freely. It's been a long time since anyone told her that something wasn't her fault. It was always her fault.]

My Lord....

[Clinging to him.]

Is everyone.... going to disappear again? Will I be left behind?

[miraculls]

Hey, sister! Glad to see you're okay.

[He blinks and frowns at her tears, putting a hand on her shoulder.] Shit, what are you all be shedding the motherfuckin' saline for? You hurt?

[lonelyremnant]

[She stares at him, and after a moment actually recognizes who she's looking at.]

Little Oni.....

You are alive. I thought that everyone had left me again. Or that Brother had returned and killed everyone.

[She is so relieved.]

I'm so glad....
