Holy High - IC - Open

[Charlia]

Then the frantic movements stopped, and became more purposeful.

Specifically, she lifted one hand and touched her other arm, and then dug her nails into her flesh, leaving bleeding scratches down her arm.

"We're in my favorite place. I stay here and I watch the sun come out from behind the earth. No matter what time of day or night where I was, there's always a place where you can see this."

"It's beautiful." The sun began to come out from behind the world. "Like you."

"Thank you. I'm glad you like it."

Inari changed into a glowing angelic mimic of Mason and tapped her forehead, reaching into her mind. "What's going on?"

Stay out of this.

Another scratch, this time across her face, barely missing her right eye.

Another scratch, this time across her face, barely missing her right eye.

"Whats happening?" She started to cry.

[Charlia]

"Whats happening?" She started to cry.

Oh, shut up.

This isn't any of your business.

[Syrixces]

Inari changed into a glowing angelic mimic of Mason and tapped her forehead, reaching into her mind. "What's going on?"

Stay out of this.

Another scratch, this time across her face, barely missing her right eye.

A Raven flutters in the window, transforming into Thanatos.

"Stay out of this, Mason. "

"I said I would end this. And I will. "

Thanatos raised his arms, and clapped them together, summoning his brother.

With a flash of light, there stood Hypnos, god of sleep.

Thanatos pointed at the girl, and Hypnos nodded. He slowly drifted over her, before slipping inside her dream.

Hypnos - Temp NPC

He was inside her mind.

Hello?

[Syrixces]

He glows, as light surrounds them, and they disappear.

They pop back into existence, surrounded by blackness.

"Welcome. Welcome to my home. "

Suddenly, the black emptiness of space explodes, into thousands of colors, as quasars and nebulas are born and die, all around them.

"We're not that different. If you think about it, we're really just products of each other. The light and the darkness."

Nyx watched everything that was going on around her in awe. She smiled, then, the blasts of light growing darker shades of color to compliment the lighter ones. "It's...beautiful, really. More beautiful than anything." She said, taking it in. He was truly right; only the two of them together could create beauty like this. She was the dark canvas while he provided the beautiful art that occured alongside and around the darkness. Her night wouldn't occur without all the stars and the moon, and his day wouldn't occur without her evening shadows or atmosphere.

Hyperion turned to her, smiling. "Now do you understand?"

[Skyline United]

"Whats happening?" She started to cry.

Oh, shut up.

This isn't any of your business.

An oval of fire would slowly form in the center of the room and Mason would step through.
"What is it Inari....Oh my god!" He runs over and holds her down. "Charlotte, I know what's happening. I'm here for you. Fight it, just as I did for you. Fight it for Thanatos!"

[Charlia]

Stay out of this.

"I said I would end this. And I will. "

Thanatos raised his arms, and clapped them together, summoning his brother.

With a flash of light, there stood Hypnos, god of sleep.

Thanatos pointed at the girl, and Hypnos nodded. He slowly drifted over her, before slipping inside her dream.

Hypnos - Temp NPC

He was inside her mind.

Hello?

How many times need I say it?

Stay out of this.

Another, deeper gash, straight across her throat, causing her to choke for a brief moment.

Another, deeper gash, straight across her throat, causing her to choke for a brief moment.

Thanatos grimaces, and pushes Mason aside.

He raises his arms, and his skin sheds away, revealing hard gauntlets of bone, around grey, taunt skin.

From his wrists come chains of bone, unwinding at an astounding pace, wrapping around the girl ,restraining her.

Mason turned back to Thanatos, "There is no possible way for you to understand. I know what's going on and how to stop it." He smiled, "Think of life and you will find the answer."

My brother, Hypnos is inside of her mind right now. He will stop whatever shade of sleep is causing this. It is his domain, afterall. I am just here to stop her from harming herself.

[Charlia]

Stay out of this.

Another, deeper gash, straight across her throat, causing her to choke for a brief moment.

I am Hypnos. I am sleep. Please return this girl to her peaceful state.

Why should I?

I own her.

She struggled at first, but then went still.

"Your pathetic, it has nothing to do with sleep." Tears ran down his face and he screamed, "THINK OF LIFE AND YOU WILL FIND THE ANSWER!"

Thanatos rippled, and transformed, entering his true, Reaper form. (LOOK AT OOC FOR NEW REAPER FORM)

I CANNOT THINK OF LIFE!!! I AM DEATH!!! I KNOW NOTHING OF LIFE!!!

[Syrixces]

I am Hypnos. I am sleep. Please return this girl to her peaceful state.

Hypnos chuckled.

Because I, own you, shadow of slumber. Release the girl, or I will never grace her with sleep again. And you will be truly powerless.

He sighed, "Where there is life there is death, and where there is death there is life." He walked forward and grabbed death's hand, he held it up his face. "You've never tried to think of life."

[Castle Crashers]

Her night wouldn't occur without all the stars and the moon, and his day wouldn't occur without her evening shadows or atmosphere.

Hyperion turned to her, smiling. "Now do you understand?"

Nyx smiled genuinely, tears lining her red eyes as she turned to look at him. "I knew...I always knew...but I never truly understood it. I didn't want to believe that I couldn't be here without you. This," She gestured to the beauty around them. "Wouldn't exist without both of us. And I know I said I would kill you, and that I could, but I...I can't. I wouldn't. I just...never wanted to admit that I needed you. That I still need you. Because what we have...is beautiful. Something more beautiful than anything man-made. Truly...nothing is like what we create together, even if I don't admit it. My night is no more beautiful than your day, and neither is prettier than the space we create. Only together can we truly make something like this, and I finally understand that. I understand that because of you."

[Charlia]

Why should I?

I own her.

She struggled at first, but then went still.

Hypnos chuckled.

Because I, own you, shadow of slumber. Release the girl, or I will never grace her with sleep again. And you will be truly powerless.

She gives me my power. I don't need her to sleep.

Besides. If you take her sleep, she will slowly deteriorate... as those who need sleep are wont to do without it.

And as she weakens, I will grow stronger.

[Cruxa]

"It's beautiful." The sun began to come out from behind the world. "Like you."

"Thank you. I'm glad you like it."

"Can I try something?"

oh boy
here goes nothing
i sympathize for satan
that's something I never thought I'd say XD

[Charlia]

"Thank you. I'm glad you like it."

She looked quizzically at him.

"All right."

[Syrixces]

Hypnos chuckled.

Because I, own you, shadow of slumber. Release the girl, or I will never grace her with sleep again. And you will be truly powerless.

She gives me my power. I don't need her to sleep.

Besides. If you take her sleep, she will slowly deteriorate... as those who need sleep are wont to do without it.

And as she weakens, I will grow stronger.

Wrong Again, Shade. I will simply make so she never has to sleep. Show yourself, shade. Or I will illuminate you myself.

Thanatos rippled, and transformed, entering his true, Reaper form. (LOOK AT OOC FOR NEW REAPER FORM)

[i]I CANNOT THINK OF LIFE!!! I AM DEATH!!! I KNOW NOTHING OF LIFE!!!

He sighed, "Where there is life there is death, and where there is death there is life." He walked forward and grabbed deaths hand, he held it up his face. "You've never tried to think of life."

[/i]

A whisper of purple energy streams off Thanatos, smacking Mason aside.

DO NOT TOUCH ME!!!

[Skyline United]

He sighed, "Where there is life there is death, and where there is death there is life." He walked forward and grabbed deaths hand, he held it up his face. "You've never tried to think of life."

A whisper of purple energy streams off Thanatos, smacking Mason aside.

DO NOT TOUCH ME!!!

Mason stood up, his eyes blood red, and all veins across his body were black.
He laughed, "What are you so afraid of?"

[Charlia]

A little girl stepped out of the shadows, a younger Charlotte.

"She still gives me my power. There is nothing you can do to stop the cycle of madness."
