sarcasm_andbooks | Mantra One: Kidnapped?

[Action For Housemates: Raven wakes up and discovers she's not in her own room anymore. Jumping up, she tries to calm herself down before...before.....

Her powers.....

Aren't there.....in fact she even looks different. Short black hair, less grey skin. Her chakra's gone as well as her normal clothes. She looks around the room and the slowly makes her way around the house. As she hunts around a table she knocks a phone over. You can hear a dry voice...]

Well either Mad Mod got tired of the British look or this is something new.....

[At that she notices the phone and picks it up.]

Hello? Robin, Beastboy, Starfire, Cyborg?....is anyone there?

[A. There is a girl in a blue jacket, with the hood pulled up, looking around the town. It's quite clear she's new here. She has that, oh dear lord where am I, walk going on. Though her's is more tense, as though she's waiting for something to attack her.

B. In the park. Well a girl is trying to do something? She's chanting and pointing at a park bench...]

Azarath Metrion Zinthos! ....why isn't this working...

[C. The library. Okay, libraries she can deal with....Well she thought she could....Growing more and more frustrated as she flips through yet another romance book.]

Isn't there anything here that isn't a love story?

No. I'm just a bit lost.

Can you tell me where I am by any chance?

You are in a place that calls itself Mayfield... Where it truly exists I can not say, but I suspect that this is a lair where Erebus manifests power.

We're being held captive by the personification of darkness.

[....what.]

That is my suspicion, be it him or his minions... This place is designed to grind the souls of men to paste and turn them to those things that walk the street.

....I see.

[Well this could be bad.]

I'd expect there to be more...darkness in that case.

Really.... I find this bright and cheerful facade to be much much more soul crushing....

The forces of darkness aren't generally known for their subtlety.

Oh you would be surprised. I have seen many dark forces that are quite cunning and subtle. Usually they are the true danger when an overt and obvious one appears.

The ones I know, tend to go for the mass destruction and bleak landscaping look.

My master fought the creeping terror... I have been tasked with subduing Erebus and preventing its meeting with Nyx... Both were subtle when it served their purpose.

I suppose all forces of darkness are different.

Indeed. Were they all the same they would be much easier to keep in check.

That would be nice.

It would make both sides lazy. But... I do not know, balance has always been my concern, not one side dominating the other.

Darkness has a tendency to try and dominate.

Or at least the ones I'm familiar with do.

I've seen the light try to completely try to dominate the shadow as well, usually just before it falls into the shadow as well.

I've yet to see that side. I have more ties with the darkness.

But in between the two I'd say my team faced darkness far more often then light.

Unless you count Dr. Light but he's kinda just pathetic.

My master lived beyond light and darkness but I have really stared into the twilight more than I have the sunrise. Still, the human world is fascinating.

Who is your Master?

Igor... Master of the Velvet room.

The Velvet room?

The place where those who are chosen are have spirits bound to the cards to wear as persona.

Uh-huh....

I don't think we have those in my world.

This is a nexus of many places... There may be things that are strange and different, but, not all of them are here to kill you, I myself just wish to see humanity be free of the curse of Nyx.
