Reiss [2]
By: Noakami Date: March 12, 2022, 4:57 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
((OOC)) Martin :: A cold, hard strange presence slides across
Reiss' back, as she slowly slides her eyes open. She felt cold,
drained and quite weak.
You're out.
Reiss has left the RP.
You're in.
Reiss has joined the RP.
Enorxavan has left the RP.
Enorxavan has joined the RP.
Reiss drawing her first conscious breath, she slowly gathered
her bearings, practically leaning forward slowly as she drew up
to her feet. Wincing, at her state, she looked around.
((OOC)) Martin :: ??? :: Oh, awakened, you have. A pity that
you've woken now and not later, but in the end; it will still
happen. Licht Schrondinger.. Schwarz Schrondinger..
Martin has plugged out!
Martin has plugged in!
Reiss shaking her head, she continued to regather her focusand
all, partially ignoring the voice as she rubbed her eyes.
Turning towards the voice, somehow expecting it to be Mary.
Reiss rubbed her chin, as a lightbulb popped above her head,
drawing a finger out, she raised an eyebrow '' Am I dead?''
((OOC)) Martin :: ??? :: This is the River Between. Your soul is
still in flux. You are currently both mentally and spiritually
Schwarz and Licht Schrondinger. Your body having perished
horribly in that fight.
((OOC)) Martin :: ??? :: Fey woman, what do you know about the
passage of death; the art of death?
Len sure, why not
Reiss :: Hm. If thats the case---Hm? Considering your get up, I
thought you'd know more about it than me.
Reiss :: ---Who are you?
((OOC)) Martin :: ??? raises one of their arms and with it their
robes-- as something inside of it ruffled about. Looking at them
closer, Reiss perceived them as a robed individual with long,
stringy arms with barely any skin to them. A cigarette floated
infront of them, being smoked as they spoke.
Reiss :: Huh. You don't look to well.
((OOC)) Martin :: ??? audibly coughs, smoke appearing out their
robes as the thing ruffling inside of it makes its way out.
((OOC)) Martin :: Schrondinger recognized them instantly: it was
one of their acquaintances, Len.
Reiss :: ..I don't suppose you've died too have you?
((OOC)) Martin :: ??? flexs their thin fingers one by one, a
crunching sound with each motion before they turned around.
"This simulacra will explain your journey to you." they stated.
Len was reading the script off of the back of his hand.
Len , script in hand, begins to read off exactly what type of
shit Reiss was in.
Len :: So, let's just say for now that you're up shit creek
without a paddle.
Len :: I, however, do have a paddle. so you have a chance of
waking up as your weird chimera-self.
Len :: Y'see typically, you'd die and enter the sea of souls as
you wait to be judged by Anubian, Bodum, whoever the fuck.
Len :: Scale weighted aginst feathers, he'll force you to go
through some kind of mental trauma to prove youre either pure or
not, the hwole nine yards.
Reiss :: Right, but I'm not entirely dead right?
Len tugs his collar
Len :: Yeah let's go with that.
Len :: Your body's entirely gone, but your osul, magician you
are, is hoolding on for some length of time.
((OOC)) Martin :: ??? snickers in the background, a deep, raspy
laugh.
Len :: Youve got two options essentially. Die for real and get
sent to heaven hell, or where I used to live....or attempt a
prison break.
Len :: For you...I'd honestly recommend the second option.
Len :: Youre..weird.
Len :: Really, rally, weird.
Reiss :: Yeah Im aware.
Len :: Surprised yo uhaven't been erased by hte universe itself
at this point.
Reiss :: Hm.... Okay. So where do I go from shit creek, exactly?
Len :: If Anubian ever gets to judging you,...having two souls
is worse than one.
Reiss :: Piss point?
Len :: More like...nothing point.
Len :: Worst coems to worst, you're deemed an errata and erased.
Reiss :: Is my circumstance, really that abnormal?
Enorxavan has plugged out!
Len :: You and i both know how 'unique' you are, you pride
yourself on it.
Len pondered for a moment. How exactly is an issue like this
solved? Len could think of one solution, but it was dicey.
((OOC)) Martin :: ??? :: The simulacra is thinking of a way to
help you, it seems. But, in order to be fair and fulfill my
duty-- I must warn you of something, wanderer.
((OOC)) Martin :: ??? :: Your souls situation is effecting not
only yourself-- yourself? Yourselves? You. You--
((OOC)) Martin :: ??? :: You. Let's go with that. Anyway, your
existence in this realm is also hindering the passage of two
other souls. I will let you guess who.
Len :: Mora?
Len :: Eh, that's probably not interesting enough.
((OOC)) Martin :: ??? turns towards Schrondinger and waits
Reiss :: My counterparts?
Reiss :: ..Pandora?
Len :: Ya kill anyone recently?
((OOC)) Martin :: ??? :: Ring, ring-- shes correct. Pandora--
and the other one you know.
Reiss :: ..Huh.
Reiss :: ..Mary?
((OOC)) Martin :: ??? :: A double! She's correct again.
Len :: Had a little lamb, little lamb little lamb.
Enorxavan has plugged in!
Reiss :: ...Wait what? What do either have got to do with me
exactly?
Len :: Weren't you in pandora's body or something? That other
lady was mad about you for something regarding hte hex.
Enorxavan has joined the RP.
((OOC)) Martin :: ??? :: Having two or more copies of the exact
same soul is quite a doozy. Even this Simulacra I summoned here
will not survive more then twenty minutes.
((OOC)) Martin :: ??? :: Now imagine if one of those souls is
here in the underworld, and the other is moving about as though
its alive.
((OOC)) Martin :: ??? :: And even worse, two clones of the same
mind and body are also running loose, attached to different
souls. Magicians sure do know how to break the rules, don't
they?
Reiss :: Two or more copies of the exact same soul... I
thought.. well We thought wee were just a vessel---
Reiss :: Who are you?
((OOC)) Martin :: ??? ticks their head up. "We've finally
reached our destination, Reiss Schrondinger. No longer two, but
now one. I can't wait until I get to partake of your new soul in
death."
((OOC)) Martin :: Reiss realizes that she, ??? and Len were now
on the edge of an island.
Len :: Well.
Len :: I'm not exactly sure I can bust you out of jail without
turning you into a zombie or utilizing great magic, but I an fix
the stopgap youve created.
((OOC)) Martin :: ??? :: The simulacra will last a bit longer;
he will guide you to your final choice.
Len takes Reiss' hand still pondering.
Reiss following Len, she skims the Mysterious gal. Could she
recognize her at all?
((OOC)) Martin :: For a second, Reiss could've sworn they
recognized that voice. It was a doting voice of learning for her
at some point.
((OOC)) Martin :: ??? disappears soon after Reiss and Len step
onto the island.
Len :: Well, we're getting close to now or never.
Reiss :: Where's your tour guide telling us to go?
Len :: To Anubian, of course.
Reiss :: Don't... we need to avoid him?
Len :: So, what are you thinking of? From what I can see here
we're probably going to have to get rid of your whole 'two
souls' thing if you want to get out here in one piece.
Len :: Well, 'avoid' would certainly be very, very hard.
Len :: I'd imagine he already has some sense we're here. His
domain and all that.
Reiss :: ..Wouldnt getting rid of my souls.. kill me?
Len :: Well, there are ways we can do this.
Len :: We could try combining you, which would technically not
kill you. Split you apart, one mind and body for each soul,
which woudl also technically not kill you.
Len :: Or go to Anubian, who would probably kill you. He's a
fair guy but there's only so much protocol he can break.
Len :: So, ya ever haer of Theseus' ship?
Reiss :: The paradox? Whats that got to-
Reiss :: Oh.
Len Theoretically, they could createa new existence by merging
both Licht and Schwarz. One that was 'technically' not dead yet
and technically wasn't supposed ot be here, which would give em
two options.
Len One: They've already stepped foot in the land of hte dead so
they've gotta die, or two: reason with the big man at the top of
Styxs keep.
Len :: Hypothetically, we could loophole your way out of this.
Enchanter ind of mindset and all that, and then turn you back
into...you, when you meet me again in the real world.
((OOC)) Martin :: As the two talked, they walked towards the top
of Styx's Keep to see Anubian.
Cercis has left the RP.
Cercis has joined the RP.
Reiss :: ....I don't want to seperate from my sister. Let's take
the former.
((OOC)) Martin :: Len disinegrates before Reiss' eyes suddenly,
turning into dust on the ground. His time must have ran out.
Reiss :: momentarily stared as Len simply went up in smoke. In
the instant she tried grabbing the simulacrum if she could as he
dissapeared.
Reiss :: .)
Len just dindt' die yet, lmao
Reiss momentarily stared as Len simply went up in smoke. In the
instant she tried grabbing the simulacrum if she could as he
dissapeared.*
((OOC)) Martin :: She only heard one last sentence from Len
before he vaporized..
Len :: You're an enchanter, right? Assuming the real me knows
what's going on all you've gotta do is make a bargain with big
guy upstairs, something something in around 10 minutes the one
he's judging wont technically exist, and it aint hit
jurisdiction.
Len and thus, copy len disappears, leaving hte real len to deal
with the work in his own time. Luckily, the time of the dead and
the time of man werent synced.
Reiss heading this she raised an eyebrow contemplating if really
trying to jew the god of death would really work.
Reiss shrugging she simply shook her head as she continued
forward, towards the chambers of the gatekeeper
((OOC)) Martin :: *drumroll*
((OOC)) Martin :: *drumroll*
((OOC)) Martin :: Reiss finds herself at the top, as a thick,
powerful presence exuded from infront of her. Everything was
dark, pitch black to where she could barely see.
Reiss she paused momentarily, unsure of where to proceed from
here, considering she couldn't see a clear path forward
''Hello?''
((OOC)) Martin :: A cold breeze blows past Reiss, as she feels
goosebumps, but recognizes that she doesn't actually have any.
Infact, her body seemed kind of transparent.
Reiss recognized she hadnt really taken the time to affirm her
form... This felt quite surreal, as she skimmed over her
transparency '' ...Is this where the god of death known as
Anubis, presides?''
Reiss resides*
((OOC)) Martin :: Masculine Voice :: 【Is that Reiss
Schrondinger?】
((OOC)) Martin :: Feminine Voice :: 【Is that Reiss
Schrondinger?】
((OOC)) Martin :: One by one, candles began to ignite in
parallel lines, lighting up a way forward for Reiss.
Reiss quickly learning of the pathway forward thanks to the
illumination of the candles, began to walk, looking around
assuming the candles would likely light the room as well as she
walked forward.
Reiss :: ---Uh... Yes. I am in fact Reiss Schrodinger... and
just Reiss Schrodinger.
((OOC)) Martin :: Eventually, the last candles lit up as Reiss
saw the path forward, with a barely lit silhouette at the back.
Above it, a totem hovered midair, glowing.
Reiss :: ...I've come here to discuss the circumstances between
my current state... Sir..Ma'am?
((OOC)) Martin :: Feminine Voice :: 【I am Anubian,
Arbiter of Dead Souls?】
((OOC)) Martin :: Masculine Voice :: 【I am Anubian,
Arbiter of Dead Souls?】
((OOC)) Martin :: Masculine Voice :: 【The time for your
choice has come.】
((OOC)) Martin :: Feminine Voice :: 【The time for your
choice has come.】
((OOC)) Martin :: One final candle lights up atop the totem as
Reiss sees the figures full visage. It was heavenly, but also
expected of a arbiter of death.
((OOC)) Martin :: Anubian :: 【Do you know the
choice?】
Reiss :: .......Apprentice of the Archmage Pandora, Reiss. I do,
I wish return to the realm of the living.
((OOC)) Martin :: Anubian :: 【Even though this will damn
two other souls?】
Reiss :: You mean the Hex herself and Mary?
((OOC)) Martin :: Anubian :: 【Indeed. It will also
prevent you from ever returning to the underworld; the next time
you die, you will head to the Empty.】
Reiss :: I still don't quite understand their relations to me. I
am my own entity, what exactly do the two have to do with me
specifically?
Reiss :: Could you share some light on the origins to this?
((OOC)) Martin :: Anubian :: 【Your body is not your own.
You are one-third of the piece preventing the revival of a
currently lost soul.】
((OOC)) Martin :: Anubian :: 【The union of body, mind and
soul was created by a deity long-since dead. Mortals were
blessed with this state of being, and all of its powers.】
Reiss :: Is there anyway to fix this?
((OOC)) Martin :: Anubian :: 【Without having all three, I
cannot bestow true fair judgment. Thus, you, your master and
your fellow disciple are all doomed.】
((OOC)) Martin :: Anubian :: 【Two people cannot pass
through the gate as three. Reiss. Pandora.】
Reiss :: ...What do you mean? There is no Pandora here.
((OOC)) Martin :: Anubian points at Reiss. "That body.. is not
that of a Houdini. Houdini blood fails to course through it as
it should."
Reiss :: ...You mean this body belongs to the Hex?
((OOC)) Martin :: Anubian :: 【Especially as your body, as
it should have been received, belongs to another. This is the
secret of your unique conjoined state.】
((OOC)) Martin :: Anubian :: 【The only correct part of
you is your mind, Reiss Schrondinger. Magic most foul has
perverted your nature.】
Reiss :: ...So my soul is not my own either?
((OOC)) Martin :: Anubian :: 【Though your soul is
attempting to return to its original state, this cannot happen
until you have your body. You are still..】
((OOC)) Martin :: Anubian snaps their fingers as besides Reiss,
an image of Licht and Schwarz appears.
((OOC)) Martin :: Anubian :: Return with your body from Mary.
((OOC)) Martin :: Anubians booming divine voice fades as they
walk towards Reiss. "Before she takes back your body-- and
revives the lost soul."
((OOC)) Martin :: Anubian :: This is the truth of the clone. Two
of the same souls cannot pass on.
((OOC)) Martin :: Anubian :: I will allow the same mind, but
until Mary or you die; your master will toil forever in
purgatory.
((OOC)) Martin :: Anubian :: That woman.. she had a good eye for
powerful mages, and a lust for power held by good intentions.
But good intentions paved her path to this.
Reiss :: ...Then what exactly is my birth right?
Reiss :: Why do I have her body?
((OOC)) Martin :: Anubian ::That is for your to find out, dear.
I cannot tell you of things outside of your own judgment.
Reiss :: Hm. I suppose I'll have to find that out myself. Then
please, if you may.. Return me to the realm of the living, your
warning has been noted.
((OOC)) Martin :: Anubian :: Now, your choice. Do you return,
knowing that if you die again-- without the fixing of this
situation, you will reach the Empty?
Reiss :: I will.
((OOC)) Martin :: Anubian :: Or do you accept peace, and allow
the judgment of your soul now, knowing that you will damn both
souls?
((OOC)) Martin :: Anubian :: Then so mote it be. You will revive
in Schwarz's body-- as Lichts was annihilated. By my scales, I
deem you return.
((OOC)) Martin :: The totem that was hovering aboveflies into
Anubians left hand, transforming.
((OOC)) Martin :: Anubian :: To think that that woman would
gather a descendant of the first witch, a unique soul-being, a
nephilim in wait and a perfect homunculus. How afraid mortals
have become of death.
Aceso Aegle has plugged out!
((OOC)) Martin :: The totem transformed into a pair of unique
scales: on one side was the beginning of life, a full child in
the womb, ready to be born. On the other, a skeleton laying on a
coffin, the last whispers and hints of life now gone.
((OOC)) Martin :: Anubian :: I deem you alive.
((OOC)) Martin :: [Gained: 3 TP (Reiss), 2 TP (Len), +12 HP]
