This isn't my fault

[nightgoddess]

[Nyx hmphs softly, looking around with a somewhat strained look on her normally expressionless face. she's not exactly certain of where her not-quite-so-dear mun is, but just to be certain she'll glare at just about everything (or everyone) around her before she flatly adds:]

I refuse. It is utterly beneath my dignity... both your ideas are. Do not allow yourself to be talked into foolishness. Must I remind you of what I am?

Comments

[thefoolsmessiah]

As much as I enjoy you being removed from your dignity, I would sooner not have to look on your hideous bitchy face.

[Oh yeah. She hates you. More than anything else and she hates a great many things.]

[nightgoddess]

Excuse me? That's not a very lady-like way to speak, child.

[Nyx arches her eyebrow, though her voice is back to sounding impassive. she's not used to hearing such vehemence from girls with that face, but she'll betray no further surprise]

[thefoolsmessiah]

I gave up on being ladylike a long time ago.

[Oh boy you have really no idea the kind of vitriol you're going to get from this one. I wonder, can you sense just how badly this one wishes for death? That's probably unexpected to you too, huh?]

[nightgoddess]

A shame. Manners and charisma are one of the best avenues of power open to what they call the 'fairer' gender.

[it's a little unexpected, yes. most humans... most living things, rather, do strive to survive. but with apathy syndrome and humanity's attempted summoning of her, Nyx isn't completely unfamiliar with suicidal humans]

[thefoolsmessiah]

I don't care about power.

[That would require caring about herself. Well, just like Nyx was unused to this one's attitude attached to that face, she is probably more used to seeing that face coupled with a love of life and determination to protect life...]

Unless it's power enough to bring my brother back, I don't care.

[deathprismpower]

What you are? Um, are you not human, miss?

[RYOKO NO you were supposed to let the boy you handle this one until you were caught up to canon...]

[nightgoddess]

...

........

[ahem]

I had hoped your mun was joking. And do you not know your own mother's face, Thanatos?

[or is it 'Thanako'? Nyx isn't sure if she wants to think too much about this]

[deathprismpower]

I guess she wasn't joking...

[Blink. Blink blink. She had to admit that the woman did seem oddly familiar, and for a second she almost shakes her head in response to the question, but when she hears that name she stops the movement.]

Oh, I'm sorry! You must have me mistaken for someone else. I'm Ryoko Mochizuki. I'm sorry I'm not your daughter...

[But what kind of girl would have a name like Thanatos?]

But it's a pleasure to meet you!

[nightgoddess]

[Nyx just... shakes her head as well. she supposes she shouldn't be surprised by that response, but the goddess still senses that she's connected to this strange girl. the appearances and names almost completely match. plus she can sense...]

Other than the gender change, that is almost exactly the name my son used when he lived with humans. Mochizuki Ryoji... I assume that seems familiar to you? You share headspace with him, after all. What is his relationship to you?

[deathprismpower]

[Well, there's a bit of a shock. Ryoko can't help but feel a little unsettled by the way this lady is speaking of her counterpart and his past. Still, she tries to remain calm. The woman hasn't actually done anything, after all. It's just a feeling of dread, and it's likely that feeling is unfounded.]

Um, you're talking about the boy me, aren't you? I mean, he's familiar to me, and we've talked a little bit, but I don't know too much. He said he's from sometime in my future, so I'm not supposed to know about certain things. He's nice, though. I kind of think of him like of a brother, I guess!

['Lived with humans', though... what did she mean by that? It almost sounds like she's implying that Ryoji is different from regular humans somehow...]

[burningmydread]

[Have an Appriser!nato. Who...is also not at a canon point where he knows who you are, but he can feel something and he isn't sure how to respond.

Mostly he looks like he needs about a week's worth of sleep and maybe a few roomfuls of food though.]

Muns do that a lot. Not listening to us.

[nightgoddess]

Yes, that's quite true. We are only here for their amusement, I suppose...

[Nyx's voice is soft, almost confused. there's something strange about this boy. she beckons him closer with a pale outstretched hand]

Could you please come nearer, child? You are not like the others who bear your face.

[burningmydread]

That's the view most take.

[It's a complicated story why this one's a strange 'nato. He feels dread pool in his stomach at the request, and his instincts tell him not to, but...he hasn't been able to really trust himself in weeks. So he approaches.

...Awkward silence?]

[nightgoddess]

[she examines him with confused dark eyes. yes, there's most definitely something odd going on here. but what? and why? this place brings in too many that are from worlds so different from her and her son's]

...Tell me about yourself. You feel too similar to my child.

[burningmydread]

[Sadly, he's not from a canon point where he knows what's going on. It's not like there's a Ryoji to explain his past to him.]

There isn't a whole lot to say. I don't have any parents - they died when I was a kid. Explosion, car crash, I was the only survivor. I don't really remember any of that too well, though.

[notsogrimreaper]

[Ugh, not again. He really wishes his mun would stop convincing her friend to bring his mom out.]

I don't think any reminder is really going to work. It's not like you can actually do anything to her.

[nightgoddess]

[you know, Nyx kind of wishes the same :| especially given the situations she keeps finding herself in...]

Well, I could refuse to speak to her again. That would put her in a bind, I believe.

[notsogrimreaper]

Wouldn't that just mean this version of you would no longer exist? I would have thought you'd want to accomplish more before allowing that to happen.

[He's still partially thinking 'good riddance', yeah, but...]

[nightgoddess]

Ah, do you believe we do not exist when we are not being written, Thanatos? Interesting...

[such a thing to think about your own mother :|]

[notsogrimreaper]

Well, not exactly. I just thought... with people that aren't really from a story... I don't know. This whole situation is confusing, so it's best not to think too much about it.

[emperor_with_no_groove]

[He's heard... stories. And considering how many people SEES lost because of all the Shadows? Yeah. Akihiko isn't particularly happy to see Nyx right now.]

...Talked into what?

[nightgoddess]

My mun's friend is trying to talk her into turning me into something called a 'My Little Pony' and to present myself here as an object of ridicule and amusement. While my mun already wishes to use me and my duty in conjunction with the season to make 'Fall' puns. It is... distasteful. All of it. I am a goddess, not a clown.

[that... probably was not what you were expecting, is it?]

[emperor_with_no_groove]

A... pony?

[Nope, completely unexpected. See: icon.

Still, he can't show too much sympathy. Thank goodness his mun isn't into ponies at all.] Tch... They could just be screwing with you.

[nightgoddess]

An American cartoon one.

[oh, but you'd make such a darling my little pony, Akihito! just picture the little boxing glove cutie mark you could... er... sport on your rump!]

No, unfortunately they do seem to be enarmored of the concept. But I won't allow them... and it likely would be hard to find images that would aid in the endeavor.

[emperor_with_no_groove]

[cry Kyt why]

......

[no thank you he likes being human

and get away from his ass, please]

Are you gonna... still have the same powers? Not sure how you'd use 'em like that, but...
