"One step closer to your death." she muttered under her breath, it was more like singing in a whisper, "One step closer, no regret." Because of the effort that it would take and the idea that Selena was watching her every step made everything a lot more difficult and the fact that she had no idea where the other version of herself was. Everyone had betrayed her and it was time to do something about it. "I will find you, don't be scared." She hummed further to the song she made herself to get rid of all the annoyed feelings of being stuck. How hard she tried and how much she planned, it wouldn't work without the victim and especially not with her stupid weak body. She coughed a little, as if it reacted to her thinking about it, "My sister dear, you won't be spared." She stopped humming as she looked up at the sky, maybe she should leave as well but she had no idea what to do. She wasn't looking forward to interact with Selena and the damn Rune Knights. But she would keep up the pretendence that she was glad that her family was interested in her again.

"One step closer to your death." she muttered under her breath, it was more like singing in a whisper, "One step closer, no regret." Because of the effort that it would take and the idea that Selena was watching her every step made everything a lot more difficult and the fact that she had no idea where the other version of herself was.

"My sister dear, you won't be spared."
How intriguing, that someone would be singing a song about the death of a sibling, it was enough to stop Odin in his tracks, and make him observe the woman: with her luscious orange hair and otherwise calm and innocent face. Whether this song was simply one she knew well and enjoyed singing, or whether there was more to it, Odin couldn't yet know, but he was interested in finding out, as he approached the girl, adopting a strange fusion of his two personalities: the friendliness of Lucifer the bar owner, while keeping the stone face of Odin the dark mage.
"My dear, I couldn't help but hear the end of your song. Might you, by any chance, be able to repeat the words to me, so that I may yet understand the verse?"
Thu Oct 12, 2017 4:04 pm
She eyed him, not entirely sure what to say, she could obviously repeat, she would do that in a few seconds but she first had to see the consequences at that. Oh well, Selena would protect her right if something would go wrong. Maybe, for the first time, she could finally tell her feelings, maybe the fact that Selena had found her and wanted to change her and protect her and bla...bla..bla was a good thing for a plan that the girl wanted, she wanted to see opportunities without playing the good cards all the time, it was time to play her cards. If she finally would be able to get her hands on all of them,
"Of course. It's a short one. It goes like this." she said and she coughed a little to make sure her voice was loud enough and steady, after the whispering. "One step closer to your death,
One step closer, no regret.
I will find you, don't be scared.
My sister dear, you won't be spared." There was this tiny smile, a little bit sinister, on her lips, she was very curious to the reaction of this stranger. Which could be described as one of the first times that she was interested in someone's reaction like that.
Thu Oct 12, 2017 4:28 pm
It was then that the olive haired mage noticed the girl's smile: a sinister one that did not belong on the face of a young girl having just given her rendition of a poem. Whatever it was about the poem, there was something else.
"Hmm, an interesting poem certainly. Is it yours or did you read it somewhere?"
Fri Oct 13, 2017 5:00 am
This man asked her where she got the poem from, if she simply remembered it or made it up. She felt a little brave today, "I made it myself. It sounds very eerie I know but as long as it works, don't you think?" she said again with that happy smile towards the stranger. She was a bit scared for the results of this conversation but she was sure it would be fine. She didn't show her fear, if she would be arrested: she was sure Selena would bail her out again. Besides, it were words she didn't kill anyone and there was no proof if she had done. Not that it happened because she had no idea where her angel like victim was.
Fri Oct 13, 2017 5:21 am
"Might you indulge me with two things, my dear. One, your name, as it would be rude of me not to ask. Of course, I am Lucifer Morningstar, a pleasure. Second", Odin's voice dropped in volume as he edged closer to her, so that only she would hear him, a malicious grin forming on his face, "Do you have any sisters?" It mattered little what her answer would be, as Odin had not yet said anything that could be used against him. Rather, he had just asked an, albeit dark, friendly question about the origin of a poem he had heard from a young girl at a lighthouse. He had yet to mention any kind of death or murder, despite it being fully on his mind. Her answer would determine whether she was truly interesting, or just a good poet.
Fri Oct 13, 2017 5:31 am
And this guy apparently seemed to have manners as he asked for her name and before she could give it, he would give his own, Lucifer very, very interesting. It felt as if it was some hint for going into the right direction if Lacie still thought in that way, but she had given up in her supersticious feelings when the Divine dropped her. And the grin was very attractive to this conversation which made her smile wider and her eyes glistering in the hope to get a door in her maze of endless disappointment, "My name is Lacie Eventide and.." she also lowered her voice, "Unfortunately I still have a sister." She felt some sort of adrenaline, combined with excitement and the fear of what might happen. But she kept repeating in her mind that nothing could happen to her, she would probably be dead in weeks if her body kept on fighting like this and else, she would count on Selena. She could probably manipulate her cousin into thinking she wasn't that big of a deal.
Fri Oct 13, 2017 9:26 am
"Must be a real shame, eh? Having a living sister when you'd much prefer her in...some other state. Tell me, how much would you wish to see her in that other state? Depending on your answer, I could make it happen." Despite what he was saying, Odin had returned his voice to its normal volume, mostly because there were now very few people around the lighthouse, having left when the weather had started to get worse.
Fri Oct 13, 2017 10:47 am
She turned to look at Lucifer again when he spoke and smiled a little. It felt for the first time that she met someone that would understand her and she wanted to praise something, forgetting for a second she didn't believe in the Divine anymore. But she had been honest to the right person, perhaps not careful enough but she wondered: did she really think she had anything left to lose? She was combing her hair with her fingers, looking exactly like her doll like looks: innocent. Her mind was not so and when Lucifer said that considering her answer, he could make it happen, she stopped moving and simply stared at him, surprised and yet not afraid, but rather happy with the answer. "I don't think I could express how much I would wish her in that other state as you just said so nicely. I believe that considering my history with my sister, she deserves to be on the other side of this and that I wish for nothing more." There was no better way to describe it, she simply didn't wish for anything else but to be the only Eventide, with this face walking on the Earth. Which was weird for she detested her looks because it was almost indentical to her twin's.
Fri Oct 13, 2017 3:19 pm
"Well now, that is indeed interesting. Assuming you'd be interested in having her dealt with, what would you be willing to give up in return? What are you willing to sacrifice to get what you want? I can, and if you wish it I will, be able to give you what it is that you seek. I need to know if it's worth my time to do so." At this point, the lighthouse was completely, with the appearance of dark clouds above the two, signifying the oncoming arrival of rain. It was true, what the dark mage said. He could easily kill the girl's sister if it was what she wished, but there was no point doing it for nothing. They lived in a material world after all.
"Also, how will I be able to locate and recognise your sister?"
Fri Oct 13, 2017 3:42 pm
If he belonged to a guild, she wanted to know but how would he tell, especially if it was one of the darker ones than simple Phantom Lord, what was the name again.. Lacie couldn't remember but she was sure that Alice as a lieutenant must hate it. She couldn't offer her services, her body was dying as well but maybe that would change once she would be rid of her sister, "Or is it this creepy stuff that I can sell my soul to you?" she said it with a joke but she was rather curious to what it was true, maybe she could do that.. did that work?
With intention she ignored to give him the information he needed, she would say that as soon as the deal was dealt with and if that was she would simply say it. "It is very, very easy to recognize her. She looks exactly like me and she would probably walk around in her beautiful Rune Knight uniform as she is Lieutenant Alice Baskerville." Obviously she doubted this guy knew her or knew her name but it was nice to say that he would probably dislike her from the idea that she was a Rune Knight. Who knew.
Sat Oct 14, 2017 7:27 am
Lieutenant Alice Baskerville, not a name Odin personally knew. And a Rune Knight at that, making this challenge slightly more difficult. Not that he'd refuse it now of course, he welcomed the challenge, and he'd never killed a Rune Knight before, or at least not one of such a high rank. But she was an identical twin, which meant spotting her wouldn't be too difficult, as Odin finally spoke once more, speaking on behalf of Lucifer.
"You can sell me your soul if you'd be willing to die to achieve what you want. The process will not kill you, but it will damn you to a painful afterlife when you pass, and you will belong to me. If you are truly willing to give up your life to end your sister's, we shall begin."
Sat Oct 14, 2017 8:34 am
She sighed a little bit because she wasn't entirely sure what to give, "You have no use for someone that has some inside information from the Rune Knights from time to time do you? So I can keep my soul." She didn't actually know much about magic, the Divine had given her the opportunity to get healing magic but now she had sort of lost that because of her disbelieves in the like of the Illumin, she was afraid that the redemption of her soul would be a lot more fearful and that people could take souls was a bit scary as well. "Not that I want to disappoint you of course." she didn't want to say out loud that if there was nothing else to offer that she would be giving her soul because than you knew you gave everything away at once, "My soul won't be off much use, considering I'm dying already I believe."
Sun Oct 15, 2017 9:00 am
Dying she believed? That could either mean two things. The first was that she felt like she was dying but she had not yet been truly diagnosed, which meant it was probably unlikely that she would indeed die for a while. Or perhaps she was truly dying, but she had just not yet computed what that meant. Either way it made no difference to the olive haired mage, who now knew that he would simply have to use her to her fullest while he still could.
"Superbia"
In an instant, Odin was gone, and Lucifer stood, ready to begin the ritual and gain possession of the girl's soul. What an exciting moment.
"Well then girl. Are you ready to pledge your soul to me, both in this life and the next? If you provide us with information, we will grant you what you seek."
Mon Oct 16, 2017 5:36 am
She took a deep breath, she had just confessed she was dying, such a great idea to say when you were just selling your soul. She heard a word coming from the person next to her and she simply looked up in surprise and turned to look at the young man that ought to have been next to her. Her mouth opened in surprise but not much words formed at first, great not even selling her soul was enough she also needed to profide information.
But damn magic, everything was so different from what she was ever able to get. Besides that, she never got anything considering how the Divine dropped her but fine here she was on the other side of the scale. She took another deep breath: "Sure I'm as ready as I can be." Because she wouldn't get closer to being calm as she was now and it was basically the adrenaline and the idea that she wasn't entirely sure what was going to happen that kept her calm."This is probably going to hurt isn't it?" At least she was glad that she wasn't shaking like a leaf.
Mon Oct 16, 2017 8:49 am
Smiling and cracking his neck, the demon brought the girl round the back of the lighthouse, where he managed to find a particularly sharp rock, perfect for their needs. Burning any water and bacteria off of the rock, Lucifer handed it to Lacie, who he hoped would indeed be prepared for whatever it was that was going to come next. "Cut your hand with this rock and repeat after me." He would wait for her to begin before he continued, "I, state your name, do hereby pledge my soul to Lucifer Morningstar, Demon Prince of Pride, to do with as he sees fit. I do this of my own volition and to see my own ends met out by the devil."
"State what it is you wish for me to do and why, and then don't let go of that feeling."
Mon Oct 16, 2017 9:01 am
She stood up from the bench and followed the other version of Lucifer, she didn't entirely understand what was going on and that was fine for now. She would probably wonder about it later but she didn't mind, Selena and Alice, mostly Alice would be punished for this. She looked at the sharp rock and took it and for the first time, she felt that she might be a bit harsh on Selena for her cousin had showed more compassion than her own twinsister but it was all too late for that now. She took a firm grip on the rock and looked at her left hand as Lucifer instructed her to cut it. For a few seconds she wasn't even sure if she was able to use the power to cut her own skin.
She pushed the little sharp edge of the rock against the skin of her hand palm and pushed a little harder and slowly and a little bit shaking pulled the stone back so it would cut across her palm. While she was doing that, she listened to Lucifer. Right.. demon. What a coincidence, she was literally jumping from one side to the next in a matter of weeks, "I, Lacie Eventide, do hereby pledge my soul to Lucifer Morningstar, Demon Prince of Pride, to do with as he sees fit. I do this of my own volition and to see my own ends met out by the devil." but that wasn't everything and she had to state her wish and hold on to that feeling. Well that wasn't so difficult. Even though her hand was stinging, she felt angry. The same sort of anger that she felt for her twinsister the last couple of weeks. "I wish for Lucifer Morningstar to find my twinsister Alice Baskerville and to kill her because life isn't fair." which was exactly the reason it might sound short but believe her feelings and reasons that it was enough. Alice got everything Lacie never got and that would stop, and it would stop very soon, because life wasn't fair.
Mon Oct 16, 2017 9:48 am
"Good, the deed is done and your soul belongs to me. Find out whatever information you can about the Rune Knights, and I will find out all I can about the location of your sister." With all said that needed to be, Lucifer became Odin once again, changing in complete appearance except for his eyes, which always stayed the crimson red colour, and his smile, the malicious smile of someone with power. Walking back around the front of the lighthouse, the dark mage raised the hood on his cloak before walking back into Hargeon, planning on making preparations to leave. As he did this, it started to rain.
-Exit-
Mon Oct 16, 2017 3:03 pm
She turned to look up at the sky, imagined what she had done and a grin spread across her face, she should hurry home before the rain and the storm would come. She was done for now and she would have to do the very best she could to get every little bit of information. She quickly started to run when the first drops fell to get to to her hotel.
Exit.
