[34] When the clock strikes midnight [Closed backdated log]

[jiyuna_togabito]

[It wasn't easy getting around in Azumaria's body but Aion somehow managed all right through out the day. It was a good thing he left the Opera House before the others noticed their swap. It would have caused more hassle although he was guaranteed to be safe. He was in the apostle's body after all. They would never manage to hurt her though he knew they wouldn't hesitate to keep him restrained. Restrict, lock up...

The clock nearing midnight quicker than expected, the sinner quickly slipped into the Cathedral through the back in case Lilith was home. This place always had a clock tower he never bothered to check. He quickly climbed the long stair case till he made it to the top. He stared at the lock with a key placed in it and deeply thought. It was risky but it was worth taking a shot. He needed her. Sie opened the door and locked it first before stepping inside and slamming it shut. Sie double checked the door knob and deviously grinned to see that it had worked. Aion then slid the palm pilot and the key under the door and simply took a seat on the ground, patiently waiting until the time came.]

[[ooc: This takes place right before midnight on Sunday during the body swap. He locked himself up so that he'd possibly have himself a cute apostle~ >DDDDD Feel free to notice she's missing but please don't find her yet cuz he'z got planz~ Thanks!]]

[Azmaria had been up the entire night searching for her body. Panic was nearing its climax but she tried to remain calm. What would Aion do? It wasn't like she had her powers anymore, he was sure to realize that soon enough.

Finally she stopped before a park bench. It was already nearing midnight and a strange feeling of hopelessness came over her. She looked up at the tall clock tower in the distance and watched as the hands ticked down to the final seconds before midnight. She closed her eyes as it struck twelve.

...When she reopened them a moment later she stood in a bell tower, thankfully back in her own body. Still surprised she looked around and realized slowly, as she twisted the handle of the only exit, that she was trapped.]

[Bingo. Aion slowly opened his eyes as a wide grin painted his face. He looked up at the clock tower and softly mumbled to himself as he stood up.]

Successfully in the cage, I presume. Just as planned.

[He stood up and adjusted his glasses, making sure all of his belongings were still there before heading towards the Cathedral. Avoiding the main entrance, he went straight for the backdoor and towards the tower where he had left himself previously. The sinner picked up the palm pilot off the floor along with the keys and opened the door. An eerie glare coming off his glasses, he entered the dark room as he greeted. Only the moonlight through the small window helped lighten the area.]

Aa, Las Vegas Songstress, Azmaria Hendric. An honor to finally meet you.

[She spun around quickly, eyes wide. Her mouth opened slightly as if she were to say something, but obviously she couldn't. She pressed herself against the opposing wall, farthest away from Aion.]

[He approached closer as he slightly closed the door behind him. He playfully spoke with a shrug.] Though to think I wouldn't be able to hear your beautiful voice on our first encounter.

[Aion towered over her as he stared down with grave eyes.]
You gave it to those damn deities in trade for Joshua's life, didn't you?

[She stared back up at him, trying her best not to tremble in his presence. She had faced him once before and they had won, but back then she wasn't alone.

Azmaria bit her lip and made not a move, giving no indication of an answer.]

[His eyes tensed as she refused to give him any answer. He gently took her cheeks in his hands as he tried to calmly speak.]

Refusing to answer. I see, you've grown stronger since the incident on the train. Not that it matters since I've already been informed of the truth. [He slowly caressed her cheeks.] Don't be concerned, by no means am I condemning you for your action. More so I appreciate it. I need him alive as well as you to accomplish what needs to be done. Though you've created another problem for me by giving up your voice, Apostle of Benevolence.

[She tightened her lips at him, continuing on with her bravery facade. Although she was intimidated by this man-- demon, she knew that he could be defeated and that lessened the fear she once had for him.

Swallowing, she looked away as he caressed her cheek. She had nothing to say to him.]

[He continued to stare as he thought of all the options available to him. It aggravated him that every option he thought of wasn't possible without the help from them- the deities. They were the ones who took it away. He knew they would be the only ones to give it back. Sliding his hands off her face, he adjusted his glasses as he spoke of the conditions.]

I suppose we'll have to simply retrieve it somehow. As much as you seem to deny it, you wish that as well, don't you? To be able to converse with the others and sing once again. [Grins.] Regretting it as you ask yourself, why have I done such a thing for someone who's lost himself. Poor Azumaria Hendric.

[At this she shook her head vehemently, shooting him a determined look. She had yet to regret her decision.]
