[Event Post] - Decision Time

[thefifthmonarch]

::Despite what Shikou thinks, Noriko did not go to sleep. She instead went outside. Wandering. Lost. Sobbing.

Once a boy asked her who her most important person was. She told him it was a pet. A dog she owned. Probably, this seems selfish. Why not a lover or a family member?

Wakahisa Noriko had her reasons for having more value in a household pet then her parents. Or friends. Or even Shikou. Or Adam.

Now she's here, looking over the cliffs of the islands, down to the craggy oceans. It's late. It's dark. The moon is shining brightly.

Bring yourselves to her.::

Start from the very beginning, Noriko-san. I promise I won't tell a single soul.

... I came to this school with four friends. They vanished soon after coming here. Never figured out why they left...

I was enrolled by a boy named Fujiwara Yusuke to help conduct a master plan. With the aid of another boy named Adam Van Der Aart, we tried to stop him... and... alot hurt...

I made a deal with a witch to become normal. I was taken advantage of by a boy named Erland Eusebius who wanted me to change my entire life in such a way that I could never do.

Another boy, named Samasu Shikou, became a monster known as the Obsidian Lord and enrolled me to become a pawn to remake the world, leading me on that he actually liked me as a friend.

And then Adam ruined my dreams.

::Twirls the flute in her hand:: I'm not sure if this thing can even work anymore.

*Slowly lets the information that Noriko told her digest.*

How did this Adam ruin your dreams?

[thefifthmonarch.livejournal.com]

He decapitated my Child.

[tomboyish-star.livejournal.com]

...Wait, what?

[thefifthmonarch.livejournal.com]

He decapitated my Child.

[tomboyish-star.livejournal.com]

...Child?

[thefifthmonarch.livejournal.com]

Yatagarasu, the crow messenger of the gods.

[tomboyish-star.livejournal.com]

But Yatagarasu is either the name of a trap card or the name of a monster in Duel Monsters.

Ah, I won't question it too much. So, let me try to get this straight. Is this Child the extension of your soul?

[thefifthmonarch.livejournal.com]

Different. One legged demon crow.

No. It's a gift from the Obsidian Lord, Samasu Shikou.

This... ::Shows the flute:: is an extension of me. I could make you believe whatever I wanted...

[tomboyish-star.livejournal.com]

I see.

...So, he lied to me about not being the Obsidian Lord.

So, this brainwashes your "victims". *Looks at the flute.*

[thefifthmonarch.livejournal.com]

Of course he did. He lies to everyone now.

No. It just manipulates sound. I don't victimize people. But alter sound enough, people start listening to you.

*Mumbles unkind things about Shikou under her breath.*

I see. So this item is quite powerful.

[thefifthmonarch.livejournal.com]

... Maybe.

[tomboyish-star.livejournal.com]

Do you mind it if I take a look at it? *Holds her hand out.*

[thefifthmonarch.livejournal.com]

I do.

::Makes it evaporate into photons:: You wouldn't be able to hold it.

[tomboyish-star.livejournal.com]

It's unique to you and to you only?

[thefifthmonarch.livejournal.com]

Something like that.

[tomboyish-star.livejournal.com]

I see.

Noriko-san, would you like me to walk you back to the Obelisk Blue dorms?

[thefifthmonarch.livejournal.com]

No. I want to stay here. I need to think some more.

And... I think you're blind.

::Taps her red uniform::

[tomboyish-star.livejournal.com]

Very well.

...So? *Good going, Noriko. You hit either Hoshi's annoyed button or the 'why did I bother?' button.*

[thefifthmonarch.livejournal.com]

I'm not an Obelisk anymore.

[tomboyish-star.livejournal.com]

Aha, I get it. *Her mood lightens.*

[thefifthmonarch.livejournal.com]

Though, are you sure you don't need a prescription?

[tomboyish-star.livejournal.com]

A prescription for what?
