[68] A Mother's Whisper

[jiyuna_togabito]

[voice post:]

[Hear the sound of labored breathing as he tried to focus on the task at hand, which was to contact someone for business. He roared in rage and frustration at first, knowing well that it was a curse, only for it to cease a second later. The sound of his breath seeming like it was going further away from the cellphone, a soft mumble was the last thing that was heard before the feed shut off with the flip of his phone.]

It can't be...

-------------------------------------

[Open AP:]
[Have the drenched sinner staring off into the distance on the beach. How he found himself here from the underground, you ask? Of course, by following the sweet voice that made several attempts at bringing him to eternal rest, giving him a minor injury in the process, which he doesn't seem to be bothered by. No. Following the voice was all that mattered at the moment.

She was here and calling for help. It sounded louder today than any other day. Asking to be destroyed.

A stream of blood dripping from his arm, staining the sands below, he walked closer to the body of water, awestruck by the situation as if she had come for him. He could take care of things now. Pandemonium, his motherland, was sleeping within the waters. Or so he believed, walking into the water.]

[ooc: Cursed for Mother's call! Open to all and he'll answer his phone to briefly talk to anyone except he'll be drawn back into following the voice again. Feel free to see him on the beach or stop him from going in. If no one does, going to assume that he was able to fight the temptation by waking up from half drowning or something. o/]

Wha-

[private voice];

[der-freischuetz.livejournal.com]

Aion...?

[private voice];

[jiyuna_togabito]

[He came out of his trance when he heard his phone and opened it to listen. The sinner cleared his throat as he tried to gather his thoughts.]

Ah, Lieutenant. Good timing. Just the person I wish to speak with.

[private voice];

[der-freischuetz.livejournal.com]

Is that so?

[private voice];

[jiyuna_togabito]

[He gave a soft snicker, more to play off how ok he is though...]

Yeah. Precisely to ask you about a certain experiment you spoke of a couple of weeks back.

[ooc: Just wanted to let you know, I'm heading out so will tag when I get back! Much love, bb~<3]

[private voice];

[der-freischuetz.livejournal.com]

[Would have been more convincing, if it hadn't been such a strange post, Aion.]

...You're distracting from something, aren't you.


[ooc; All okay! My finals are eating me anyway until Wednesday, sadly.]

[private voice];

[jiyuna_togabito]

Heh, is that... what you think? [His voice slightly wavers.] More accurately, it's a voice that's distracting.

[ooc: Awww ic ic =; ;= Good luck tho! Hang in there~<3]

[private voice];

[der-freischuetz.livejournal.com]

A voice, I understand. You'd be better off not listening to it.


[ooc: Thank you! <3]

[private voice 1/2];

[jiyuna_togabito]

So it would seem. Though...

[private voice 2/2];

[jiyuna_togabito]

Either way, back to business. The Millennium experiment done during the summer of 1979. You spoke of it being the means to attain your goal. I'm curious.

Ah, no- the summer of 1979 has no meaning, it was just what I last remembered. I seem to have lost about good twenty years of my memory that day.

I thought that perhaps something the Doctor did, a new experiment I was not aware of, was the reason I had found myself in the City. Not that particular.

[private voice];

[der-freischuetz.livejournal.com]

...you are sure the voice is not affecting you?

[private voice 1/2];

[jiyuna_togabito]

The Doctor?

[private voice 2/2];

[jiyuna_togabito]

I may simply see where it leads to.

[private voice]; 1/2

[der-freischuetz.livejournal.com]

Yes, the Doctor. Millennium's genius scientist, responsible for-- for everything. For us.

[private voice];

[der-freischuetz.livejournal.com]

Don't! Didn't I say so? Do not listen to it, it's one of the City's tricks!

[private voice 1/2];

[jiyuna_togabito]

Though I take it he's not in the City. And are those experiments you spoke of worth investing time in being here?

[private voice 2/2];

[jiyuna_togabito]

[He laughs.] It's all right. I haven't fully lost myself.

[private voice]; 1/2

[der-freischuetz.livejournal.com]

...I suppose not. Of course, if we had an army of artificial vampires, we might be able to overthrow the deities with ease, yes? We could even recreate Millennium's Letztes Bataillon! But without the Doctor-

[private voice];

[der-freischuetz.livejournal.com]

That is good to hear, but following it is still not advisable, no.

[private voice 1/2];

[jiyuna_togabito]

'Artificial' vampires. Interesting. I was under the impression that the method behind it would be similar to drinking or injection of one's blood, specifically of your kind. Though all right. I suppose we will need more assistance if we were to explore that further. I'll see what I can do.

[private voice 2/2];

[jiyuna_togabito]

I'll keep that in mind.

[Worried about his transmission and the nature of the curse, Lilith went to find Aion. She had no mother or father, so the curse couldn't affect her. Immediately, she headed underground knowing Aion frequented that place when he wasn't home and asked about him in the bars she knew could find him. Gathering clues and piecing them, she searched for his trail, hoping to catch a glimpse of his silver hair in the shadows.]

Aion! Aion, where are you?

[jiyuna_togabito]

[He hears his phone ring again and the voice he heard from the receiving end, makes him stop his footing as the sound of the water is heard muffled in the back.]

Lilith. [He sounded almost relieved to say her name before he uses his stern voice again.] At the beach. What is it?

[holymadonna.livejournal.com]

Stay away from the water, Aion. I want you to listen to my voice, I implore you to not let that other voice deceive you.

[The ocean, Lilith turns around and rushes outside the underground, always kept in touch through the communicator. Once outside, she spreads her wings, just two of them, and flies as fast as she can to seek for him. To stop him before is too late.]

[jiyuna_togabito]

[Her words began to sink in as he stood still for a while as the waves hit his legs.]

Deceive. [He lightly laughed.] She's not saying anything new. It's just as I remember. It's her.

[holymadonna.livejournal.com]

Aion!

[Lilith's cry came from the sky as she dived down to land in order to block his path.]

She's not real.

[jiyuna_togabito]

[He averted his eyes to see Lilith above and followed her down as she landed in front of him. He flipped his phone closed as he solemnly stared at her. He knew well it was a curse. Though his lack of progress and ego was speaking otherwise. He wanted to believe she was there and the voice he was hearing was making it difficult not to. To finish it. To release her.

He slowly allowed the curse to take over as he fell into a trance and softly demanded.]

Move.

[holymadonna.livejournal.com]

No.

[She answered firmly but not unkindly.]

Let's go home.

[jiyuna_togabito]

[He angrily gritted his teeth as he now seethed at her.]

Didn't you hear me? I said move, Lil- [The name struck him again. Aion clenched his eyes shut as he held his head and grunted, fighting the urge to move forward. She was right. He was hesitating when there really was no need to. Pathetic]

[holymadonna.livejournal.com]

Listen to my voice. That woman isn't real. Nobody is here except you and me.

[Lilith continued without losing her calm or moving an inch from there as the waves of the sea crashed against the back of her legs.]

[jiyuna_togabito]

[His lips curled, followed by a small maniacal laughter though his eyes spoke differently-- a hint of sorrow seen in them as he stared beyond where she was standing. He closed his eyes and turned around as he lowered one of his hands and the other brushed through his bangs, covering part of his face. Something was wrong with him. Enough of this. Aion softly murmured.] All right.

[His voice raised higher.] All right. You win, Lilith. [He slyly looked over his shoulder, hiding his weak smile.]

Let's go home.

[holymadonna.livejournal.com]

[With her other hand, she slowly reaches to stroke his cheek. He looks... sad.]

No, Aion. We win. If you had taken a further step, I would have followed you to the bottom of the ocean.

[jiyuna_togabito]

[He turned towards her as she reached for him. His brows slightly arching to the warm touch before it settled back to fit his solemn stare.]

......

[He forced a chuckle as he cupped the hand over his cheek.]

You're truly an odd one. One of a kind.

[holymadonna.livejournal.com]

[Lilith simply smiled and offered her arm to him.]

Let's go home now.

[jiyuna_togabito]

[He slipped his arm through and linked them while placing the hand into his coat pocket. A genuine smile on his face.]

Yeah.

[holymadonna.livejournal.com]

[She observed him, relieved that he wasn't injured.]

[jiyuna_togabito]

[The injury to his hand cleared at this point, even the voice that haunted him had diminished now as his mind was clouded with the mysteries of this woman. It was strange, but welcoming nonetheless. Familiar. That's right. It was very familiar.]
