Fifth Star of Fate ☯

I received a request from Caroline today. It seems she wants to know about people who have special eyes or sight, but...

[There's a pause before she begins again, her voice carefully diplomatic.]

I understand that talking about these kinds of abilities might be difficult, so if people would rather contact me anonymously or discuss it privately, I don't mind. [Especially when her own power is what it is...]

I just have a few questions, so it shouldn't take very long. Thank you in advanced.

[And with a small bow, she'll end her message there.]

[Action]

[And for those who aren't in the habit of using the network or otherwise thought they would escape Aoi... People who have eyepatches or otherwise unusual looking eyes may find themselves approached by her.]

Um... Excuse me, but do you think I could speak with you for a moment?

Desco pouts. POUTS.

"Desco will show them all! When she's all grown up, she'll be a wanton temptress and she won't even give them the time of day! Then they'll regret not encouraging her!"

[eyewillprotect]

You're... certain that you want to become a... er, temptress?

[tyrantball]

There's a slight pause as Desco thinks about that.

"...Desco isn't sure if she really does want to or if it's just spite."

Very earnest.

"But spite is a perfectly valid reason!"

[eyewillprotect]

But isn't a lifestyle built on spite sad...?

[tyrantball]

"Really?"

[eyewillprotect]

It's so... negative. Shouldn't you try doing something for your own happiness?

[tyrantball]

Desco tilts her head to one side.

"But Desco is always happy! Except for when she is angry. Every day, she lives her life in the way she was made for! What could be better than to know the purpose of your own existence?"

What, indeed?

[eyewillprotect]

You don't think it is better to find one for yourself?

[tyrantball]

Desco makes a 'bleah' face, sticking out her tongue and scrunching up her nose.

"Desco has a little sister that thought like that. If finding your own purpose means being anything like that stupid Electra-complex hussy, Desco will pass."

[eyewillprotect]

You don't have to find the same purpose as her. By finding your own purpose, you'll just be finding a way of life that makes you happy for your own sake.

[tyrantball]

"But...Desco is happy to live for the sake of Big Sis. There isn't anyone Desco loves more than her!"

[eyewillprotect]

...You're that opposed to finding your own fate?

[tyrantball]

There's a slight pause.

"After that stupid bitch Des-X 'found her fate' and killed Desco, Desco was thrown in prison, and she would have spent the rest of her life in there if it weren't for Big Sis. So Desco knows that her fate is to be with Big Sis!"

[eyewillprotect]

[Her brow furrows here, confused.]

She killed you, but you were thrown into prison?

[tyrantball]

"Right! Desco was thrown into Hades' special high-security ward, the Forbidden Cell! She was so loaded down with seals she couldn't even move! And they even put three ranks of guards on her!"

[eyewillprotect]

[But that doesn't answer the most important question...]

You were brought back to life again?

[tyrantball]

Nod nod.

"Yes! Demon hospitals are much more competent than human ones!"

[eyewillprotect]

...

Is... everyone brought back then?

[tyrantball]

"All you need is enough hell!"

...huh?

[eyewillprotect]

[Huh indeed.]

I don't understand. Enough hell...?

[tyrantball]

"Everyone knows hell makes the Netherworld go round!"

Slight pause.

"It's money. Cash. Lucre."

She says this in the tone of someone explaining something that should be obvious.

[eyewillprotect]

So... someone paid for you to be brought back just so that they could lock you up?

[tyrantball]

"No, they just locked Desco up."

There is some sort of fundamental miscommunication going on here.

[eyewillprotect]

But... you said you were killed?

[tyrantball]

Nod nod.

"Well, Hades is the afterlife, you know!"
