Where the Wicked go after Death

Purple leans against a wall, inside the back-room of the Caritas. For the last hour or so, she has watched Winston (War) tend carefully to the ailing Lorne. Many of her siblings were around the bar, as one of Lorne's requests was for them to get acquainted with the business (so they could run it once he was gone from this world.).

It was almost too much to bear at times, to watch Lorne get sicker and sicker... and feel so helpless to help him. There were so many times when she was so close to tears... sick to her stomach with the thought of losing him.

Winston came to sit beside her. He smiled softly, looking at his younger sister. "Where is your boyfriend today?"

"You need to speak to him?"

"Yes. I do."

Purple pulled out her PINpoint, sending Niverian a message, asking him to come to the Caritas as soon as he was available.

"We're not finished yet, then," Cipher Nine answers immediately. "There mustn't be any doubt about who is truly responsible for all of this."

"Perhaps while you investigate... things should appear as they went the way that is planned. Lindsay stays where he is... Persephone is banished." Hades spoke cautiously.

"I don't mind the Fourth Circle... pushing bags of coins beats getting shot." Lindsay noted.

Persephone hugged herself. Hating the thought of being banished.

Cipher Nine frowns, tilting his head to one side. "Make them think they won in order to flush them out," he muses. He looks up at Persephone, grimaces a little, and adds, "I'll get to the bottom of this as quickly as possible."

Persephone frowns, not meeting his eyes. She knows that he doesn't like her... and doesn't believe him. Demeter takes a moment to take her daughter's hand... "It is spring... and you have your six months with me. I am sure that you will be able to return to the Underworld when winter comes."

He may not like her, but that doesn't mean he'll let her take the fall for something she didn't do. Despite her assertions to the contrary earlier, he isn't petty. "Six months. Understood," he says quietly.

Just like he won't change her mind about her -- Persephone is not about to change her mind about him.

It seems that the decision has been made, and Lindsay disappears back to his new post. And Demeter and Persephone leave to return to the Earth above.

"Anything else Guardian?" Hades knows that Niverian is anxious to make his leave. And that a new investigation is not going to start right away.

"No, my Lord," Niverian replies. "We should probably be on our way back home now."

"We appreciate your investigation... this would have come to complications if you had not discovered it." Hades said, before dismissing them. Winston arrives, to provide them with a ride from the Underworld.

And soon they are back in the real world, back at Lorne's bar.

Niverian gives Hades another bow of his head just before they leave. Once they're back at Caritas, he lets out a long breath and leans back against the nearest wall, closing his eyes and taking a moment to collect his thoughts. This has certainly been a trying experience, and a moment to catch his breath will do him some good.

Purple leaves him alone, allowing him to collect his thoughts without disturbing him. She will give a brief run-down to Winston, since he had brought them to the Underworld in the first place.

He takes several minutes alone before going to find Ana, coming up behind her and getting an arm around her waist, resting his chin on the top of her head. Solitude isn't always the best balm for him; these days, he takes more solace in being with Ana than in anything else. (Except perhaps building things.)

((I think that is a good place to end, with them in each others arms))

((Excellent place to end! :P For their next scene, I could definitely use some fluff with these too >.> Any thoughts?))

((not really. hard to plot fluff threads))

((Yeah, by their nature, they're not really plot-heavy, other than allowing for the growth of their relationship. I dunno, I kinda want to do something involving their future kids, but I also have this picture in my head of them having a date in for once, maybe of having Niv make dinner for her or something. Could still keep it on the topic of the future kids by having them discuss it in hypothetical terms only, along with the idea of getting married or something. >.>))

((quite honestly... Ana is not ready to hypothetically discuss children; as it would just upset her, since she believes she can't have children. If you wanted something FutureVerse related, we could do that.))

((Fair enough. There's a lot of ground we could cover as far as future verse stuff goes, though, and I'm not entirely sure how to set most of it up. >.> And most of all, I want to do something romantic. So we could still do the date, just not have them discuss hypotheticals.))

((that sounds perfect))

((Awesome :) Ael also mentioned wanting to do some future-verse stuff, so maybe the three of us could figure something out for that together.))

((it would be great to do a FutureVerse scene with just the kids))

((Yeah, it would. Maybe do that in addition to the date. >.> Netaurest doesn't have a journal of his own yet, though... Were you thinking of something from when they're still kids, or something from after they've left the nest?))

((I have journals for the three Kentlings I portray. And a younger/older version of Dru. So I could easily host.

Whatever works best for you and Ael))

((Cool. We're leaning towards having the boys still be kids. Six years old for Neriath, four for Netaurest?

Also, date thread is up.))

((sounds good to me))
