is this what we deserve, can we break free
Who: Everyone
What: The Darkness has taken the Denizens of Light. How will they retaliate, having reached their destination?
Where: Alexandria
When: Sunday, June 12
Koios stood silently looking out of the window of Jagannatha's former quarters. He watched as their enemies rose from the Darkness that had pulled them in, stealing them away from their safe havens and bringing them here, where perhaps all of their worst fears would come true.
Alexandria's sky had turned black. The only things illuminating the false world anymore were a scant few lamps and candles... and the Hearts of the Allies of Light themselves. One had appeared with a fortress of Light, destroying many of the homes around them as Darkness threw her out of its arms. He watched, morbidly fascinated, as one by one, they rose into their cage.
Chernabog glowered down at them from above. He was a fine choice for the role of sentinel, boasting nearly as much power as the First Darkness himself. Koios, as well as the Heartless and Nobodies swarming about below, were nothing short of a safety measure - not that Jagannatha found it particularly necessary. In truth, it was more of a courtesy for the Nobody, a chance to properly boast to the losers, should he wish to take it. But for now, he remained where he was, observing the scene unfold impassively.
If Koios knew anything about the Key Bearers and Refugees, they wouldn't give up simply because they'd been trapped here, in Darkness, with no way discernible way out. No. That would only empower them. But the question remained: what would be their next step?
In any case, he thought, it would definitely prove to be a good show.
OOC: If you were not on the list of exceptions, you are now in Alexandria. Anyone who has any way of sensing the Hearts of others will know that any people native to this world have no Hearts, just as the world itself is lacking one. And yet, not a one of them is a Nobody.
All methods of transportation will fail.

"Mostly. I think. Just...surprised. Too much tea with Darkness-infested plushies, you know."
Sure, like that would make sense to him. So she was out of her prison now, but-
"The others are gone, aren't they? Have you- have you heard from them?" Jalen was okay, she knew he was. Her warrior tuna. He was probably kicking Darkness ass from here to Kingdom Hearts, right now. Song, though, and everyone else...

He started digging around in his bag of holding. Mostly to keep from thinking too hard about the situation. He found the Wayfinder Aria had given him but, quickly shoved it back inside.
It turned out that he didn't have the orb. He considered a moment before speaking again.
"I don't know what to do," he muttered. "I was searching out Jagannatha but, what will happen to Eli if she takes control again?" He felt bad about considering leaving the child with her earlier just because he didn't know how to care for him.
But, he couldn't take care of Eli and go after the one who sent everyone to that prison of a world.

"She loves him. I don't know how that's possible considering what she is, and she hasn't actually told me so, but...call it mother's intuition."
She glanced up at Seph and smiled faintly. "You should help the others if you can."
no subject
"I believe you are right. Darkness does not make one incapable of love." He has experience with this. "Leaving him in her care may not be good for him in the long run but, he will be fine for a while."
The situation really sucked. He couldn't really trust her and he certainly couldn't kill her.
"I think I'll see if there is anything edible left in the kitchen before I go." He didn't ask if she wanted go with him but, he waited a moment to see if she would.

"There's some coconut-covered chocolate fish in the drawer where we keep the measuring cups, if you want 'em. I'm not hungry."
What she really wanted to do was change out of this silly dress, put Eli down for his nap, and cuddle up with him, but she was almost afraid to sleep. What if this was the last time Awiergan let her out? What if she wasn't strong enough to fight her, despite what Jalen had said? She ran a finger down Eli's cheek, the faint smile from before still in place. He looked so much like his father it was almost scary.
"Besides, Ladybug's asleep now, I don't want to disturb him by getting up. We'll be okay here for a while."
no subject
He started to walk from the room.
"I will be in the kitchen if you need me and I'll check on you before I leave." That mostly involved just checking to see if she was still there and herself. He didn't expect her to have too long but, there was a chance she could manage to remain in control if she tried.
no subject
Do you really want to sit here and be babysat? Oh, sure, he'll be leaving soon, but don't we have better things to do?
Amy shook her head, focusing on Eli. Ignore the bitch, ignore her...why the hell couldn't Awiergan like jeans? Probably wore dresses just to spite her.
Yes, that's exactly it, dearest. Can we leave now, before he decides he'd be better served tying you to something and putting Eli in the safe room?
He wouldn't do that. He's my friend.
Amy winced as Awiergan laughed, sharp-edged and bitter. Your friend? How often do you hang out with him? Play any games with him lately? Let him babysit your precious son? Friend indeed. When he comes back in here, he'll have made up his mind about you. He'll take Eli. Wouldn't Jalen want him to if he had the chance?
Bullshit. If Seph was going to take Eli from her, he would have done it already. He had other things to do, and couldn't drag a toddler along with him. She doubted he'd leave him alone in a locked room somewhere with her incapacitated while he went off to help the others.
Frankly, I don't trust him. You're right, you know. I do love Eli, and I want him safe. If you love him, you'd do the right thing and not take a chance. You'd leave.
Awiergan sounded perfectly serious, not taunting at all. She sounded as if she was trying to help. Amy sighed and rubbed her forehead with her free hand. She was beginning to get a headache.
"Go away." She muttered. "You're a liar and a pain in my ass and-"
There was a second of blankness, then she found herself standing, cradling Eli to her chest. There was a portal in front of her, so close she could reach out and touch it.
For Eli. Only we can protect him.
No longer arguing, and without even stopping to think about it, Amy stepped through. The portal closed seconds later, leaving silence in it's wake.

"I'll help Jalen find you when he's freed from that place," he muttered to no one.
