Characters: Izanami and Adachi
Setting: Floor Twenty
Format: I'll match, Steve
Summary: Some time after this thread, Izanami and Adachi have a little... Chat...
Warnings: Izanami being creepy towards Adachi. Adachi being himself.

[Izanami rarely actually goes looking for people in the Tower. But today, she is. And today, she'll find him. Because when she wants to find someone, she will stop at nothing. Which is why she's so pleased when she finds him. She's not entirely sure why he's on an empty floor, but he's here and that's what matters. For all she knows, he's using the staircases to go up or down. Either way, she'll approach him--in the form of the goddess, this time.]

Adachi-san. I've been looking for you.

[Ice cold. And at her words, he freezes.]

Is that all I'm supposed to be? Just some stupid puppet of yours?

[That's why she gave him that power to begin with, wasn't it? He was nothing more than a pawn in her game, same as Narukami and Namatame. Losing said game was his fate. His destiny.

No.

Adachi bares his teeth as Magatsu-Izanagi slowly pulses through the back of his mind.

Screw destiny. He's dealt with enough shit in his life without having to take any of this. He forces the word out of him:]

Bullshit.

[thousandcurses]

Hardly a puppet. You're more like a representative. I merely awakened your power. Everything you did was of your own will.

[It's amusing, seeing him fight back. Because he doesn't stand a chance--not against the one who gave him the power in the first place, not against a death goddess.

She can feel that pulse this close, faint as it is to her. And she almost wants to dare him to call forth that which she awakened in him.]

However, Yomi is my realm, and all that die belong there--and thus to me. You're a dead man walking, are you not?
