☆ World of Illusions
Characters: The Anguished One and open!
Setting: Floor Twelve- the space floor.
Format: Will match you~
Summary: AO hasn't explored the tower very far, and is suddenly regretting doing it alone.
Warnings: A star being very, very horrified and depressed and confused.
Alcor had adjusted to the tower relatively quickly, in truth. He had quickly begun to balance his budding emotions with his own curiosity, so as not to overwhelm himself- a tactic he had only learned through the Shining One's entrance in to his being. He was not perfect, however, and did not completely understand the depths of his own feelings. He had decided to explore the floors of the tower one at a time, and thus far had met little that could sway his feelings to any sort of horrible depths. Until, of course, he hovered in to floor 12. For the smallest moment, he had thought that somehow he was back where he belonged, amongst his fellow stars.
And then that flash of light came, and he watched with mounting horror and fear as life was wiped out.
Alcor hadn't realized he had moved at all until he felt the floor- there was one, after all -under his knees. He'd collapsed completely, it seemed, even if he seemed to realize deep in the back of his head that such was bizarre. That detached part of him was confused by the sudden irritation in his eyes, even if nothing came out. It was like his body was seeking to emulate humanity's behavior when in despair. In a way, that made him feel twice as distressed, and he managed to push himself shakily to standing. But even with his feet on the ground, arms hugging his elbows and knees pressed together...he didn't feel right.
Why was he behaving like this? Was it the influence of those he'd watched so closely...? Had the Shining One affected him so deeply? Or...had this all been within him all along, and he'd only just realized?
It didn't matter. What did was the sickening display taking place all around him, watching as life ended on repeat all across the universe. Yet, he couldn't bring himself to leave, or even move from his spot. He simply remained in the center of the room, quivering like a leaf in the breeze and watching.

Yet he doesn't back down, he just nods, acknowledging he is right.]
no subject
not like that, and demons he could handle. Demi, all be damned, had been something of a myth to the star...but he found himself brightening just from the other's presence.He made to step closer, but his step was unsteady, and he came to a full stop to keep from embarrassing himself by tumbling. He'd done nothing but display weakness since he had been here. He had to have some sort of pride and grace left.]
I am so glad we are meeting. So glad...
[Even still, he did smile.] Your power...with your strength, even this could be restored. Mankind has hope after all.
no subject
That just caused an entire mesh of emotions to blend together and in the end confusion won out.]
...who are you?
no subject
[Surprise! You get the less depressing name!]
I have watched over man for centuries, hoping that they could utilize their willpower to free themselves of the endless ordeals and cycles imparted on them by other beings. You are one such individual who has done this, correct?
no subject
As he continues to speak, his brown frowns slightly. He was right in a certain aspect; Demi had fought against Conception but he hadn't really freed the cycle, had he?...
And yet. It had been the path of Freedom which he had picked. Despite the fact it carried implications and the curse of the path of thorns. If he had to do it again...he would.
Quietly, he nods.]
no subject
Your great will has carried on, Hito-shura. And it shall continue, so long as man has hope in his heart and a drive to overcome his own darkness.
[In that regard, there is nothing to fear.]
no subject
He was thankful for it and breathed out a sigh of relief.]
The Path of Thorns is not an easy one. I'm glad they did too.
[He's not alone. And now it almost feels like he's holding a normal conversation.]
no subject
[A pause, and he realized something, rather quietly.]
...I'm not scared for them. Mankind cannot be extinguished. This place is a pale attempt at humoring the notion, but it stands as a sort of testament to that fact itself.
