The other priests open fire, showering the area with bullets. Kami had no doubt that this insolent object would soon be rendered no more than a fine red mist in the air, as her boys got to work with surprising accuracy. She also noticed Ashley wasn't coming down, which was a shame, but Kami wasn't prepared to drag her. She'd lost a number of men to her already, and considered losing any more a waste.

The bullets just bounce off, a few making marks under my suit, I spray my webs and swing straight up, I climb into a vent and drag myself through it, bleeding along the way until carnage decides to cover my wound with himself.

"Of course. Please tell all your little soldiers out there to come out of hiding. And please, don't embarass yourself by trying to hide any. Once under my influence, your men will tell me anything I wish to know. And if I find any that you have been holding back, I will be forced to point Wiper at them. And we both know how brutal Wiper is." Kami smiled sweetly, as she sipped from her wine. Exquisite. Rare. Delicious. Not the wine, of course; while the wine was some of the world's best, she had tasted it a hundred times before, and it had grown bland to her taste. However, the expression on the face, of a man - or woman, Kami wasn't sure anymore - forced to send every last one of his loyal followers into her welcoming embrace. Perfect.
Aisyle ignored everything else, "Some of my men will come to you and I have no doubt you will receive them with open arms, the others joined fault knowing the risks and what could happen, I do not control them and I can not force them to join you. You can kill them if you want, while it will hurt I will be content knowing that they chose their own fate, not some girl playing god"

Aki wondered around the city. He didn't know what to look for but he wanted to meet one of these "Lords" of Fear. He didn't know much about this place but he knew that it was called Fear. He mainly wanted to meet this other Kami. He was intrigued about what would be different with this Kami if there even was a difference.

Kami sighed as she pressed a button. The vents, of course, were well defended. Everyone used the vents. Every single hero that had ever tried to assassinate her, came in through the vents. It had been amusing at first, but after a while, Kami had simply installed an incinerator, and that was the end of that. Luckily for the alternate Ashley, the incinerator was activated with a different button, as suddenly, everything went black. For a moment, there was confusion and darkness. Then, Ashley finds herself breaking out of a cardboard box in miracle square, wearing rabbit ears. Kami had an odd sense of humor. She wouldn't kill the girl. In fact, Kami wasn't entirely sure why not. With a press of a button, she could have roasted her so fine there would be only ash left. However, instead, Kami had let the girl go. Was it because it was Ashley? No, it was a different being, and Kami knew that perfectly well. She would have to figure this out later. It would be most worrying if she lost control of her own impulses.
Returning to the matter at hand, Kami regarded Aisyle with a silent eye, acting as if she hadn't just spent the better part of a minute in silent contemplation. She smiled, as she stood up, knowing what came next. She approached Aisyle, as Wiper steps out of the shadows, covered in blood. "Kill? Honey, I wouldn't do anything so horrible. I'll keep them alive. I'll just leave them to my..... experts. Soon, they'll be begging to lose their memories. And those who are too hard to be broken will, of course, be set free. In the Corrupted Quarter of Fear. Appolyon promised me use of one of his scorpion pits, should I ever need it." Kami smiled, relishing the expression on Allysia's face, as she slowly brushed against his hair, almost affectionately. She then gave him a kiss on the forehead, and for the poor soul, everything went black.
Aissyle would awaken in his new quarters. Wiper had ensured this. It moved through the city, silent as night, taking down Fault strongholds with ease. She stepped in, and gestured, as gas spread the area. Screams. Gunfire. None of the bullets hit, for Wiper wasn't there. Coughing. Screams. Unconsciousness. None would investigate, Wiper knew. The group of victims grew, as Fault Maestros rushed at her wearing gas masks, one of them throwing beams of energy. Wiper sliced the air with her katana, and the man's arm was sliced off. A second slice silenced the screams. The threat being eliminated, Wiper simply removed the masks, until another group was down. Liek a ticking clock, each minute another group fell, untill Fault was no more. There was an emptiness, and Wiper stood in what had been Fault's headquarters. Sand poured through the windows, it broke through the glass, filling the room. Electric fuses crackled and spat, bursting and sparking, as Wiper took one last look around. It left the area, and the building exploded, raining flaming debris and molten sand on the entire area. Wiper's job was done.

Aisyle drifted into unconsciousness, his mind was vacant, he couldn't feel anymore. Then he was in the blank space, Dark was playing Chess with Light and another girl was on a couch sobbing. "Kami rendered you unconscious, so basically we are locked in here for a good 20 to 30 minuets, it would be longer but we cause this body to recover quickly." Light said without looking up from her game. "Great job idiot, now Elysia is crying, she thinks it's her fault."Dark spat while gracing him with a furious glance. As his shock began to wear off he sat next to whom he could assume was Elysia. "It's not your fault, I'm alive thanks to you and even if that means every thing I knew is gone, it's okay."

As one of Elyssia's four occupant souls awakens, he/she finds him-/herself in a beautifully wel-kept room, with red satin curtains over framed windows, offering a view of Miracle Square below. The king-size bed with it's crisp red bedding and curtains, leaning upon ornate feet, carved to resemble the legs of a lion. In the corner is a massive heavy oak dresser, the dark wood carved with flower patterns, filled with ornate garments, each with the insignia of God's Tears. Amusingly, some are dresses and skirts, while others are suits. Obviously, the room was prepared for someone with gender issues. Furthermore, the room contains a small crystal chandelier, filled with electric lights, and a dresser, upon which lies a single note.
"Welcome to your new workspace. As you can see, I've spared no expenses. Pray, aim to please, my child, and you'll live a long and happy life here. You will recieve your first assignment in a few hours time, until then I'm giving you free roam over the city. And wear the coat. It'll be good for people to see you in your new uniform." The handwriting is elegant, beautiful, and hides an edge of poison. A perfect representation of Kami herself.
You can recognize the building as Miracle Manor, which was long believed to contain the entrance to Kami's Lair. This led to a gang called The Rippers breaking in, before the entire building exploded under mysterious circumstances. No corpses were ever found, and Kami had graciously funded the rebuilding of the mansion, taking full legal control of the previously uninhabited building. She must have been saving it for an occasion such as this, or else she had a crew that worked fast. Which was not unlikely. It's early in the morning, and people are starting to wake up. Not that Fear ever sleeps, or that dawn is any safer than dusk, but now at least the scum of the Earth is exposed to the harsh light of day, instead of skulking in shadows.

I take off the ears and throw them, Annoyed. "Even my Kami wasn't that crazy...it's kinda hot, but also off putting...considering I almost bled to death" I think to myself.
OA:
Two new members of the God's Tear decide that they want to rise up in the ranks, so they plan to kill the thorn in Kami's side, Me. They had made the plan a few nights ago, and decide to act to now. They open my door and fire both of their clips, wasting all the ammo on a pillow and a blanket. I kill both of them and push their bodies out into the hall.

Apollyon chuckled as checked the time on the spiraling clocktower near his throne. 7:30 AM. The sun should be up by now and shining upon the city, but such a light never shone here in the Corrupted Sector of Fear. All that ever floated through were gloom and shadows, the only lights provided by large torches of ethereal, green, purple, and yellow energy. He then brought up a hazy image before himself and caught sight of Wiper making a massacre of the shady grouo known as Fault. Typical Wiper, a mere puppet to Kami. No doubt the crime mistress was trying to spread her influence even further. Normally Apollyon would be competing with her, but not now. He had different plans in mind.
Abaddon lurked through the sewers of Fear. There were actually quite a bit of people holed up down there, most of them insignificant gangs that tried to act as if they had control over the area underground.
"Hmph, lord of rats," Abaddon growled as he feasted upon their corpses. He was beginning to feel replenished, but he still needed some actual rest...

((Remember, all Kami's servants are brainwashed. They have ne real free will to speak off, and are 100% loyal))
Kami notcied two men were dead. She'd let Ashley do as she wished for this long out of some twisted form of amusement, but of course she'd known that room had been there from the moment it had been built. If this kept going on, she'd have to instruct the dear professor to change the entrance location again, as to prevent Ashley from coming again. While her company was always a pleasure, she couldn't have the stubborn girl diminish her ranks, especially now, when she needed all the able souls she could muster. While there was a constant influx of civilians desparate enough to join a group such as hers, it took time and effort to train them into the proper skillset, which was why it was such a stroke of good luck to acquire all of Fault in one fell swoop.
She had let Abbadon get away, but it would not do to have someone so dangerous run loose. Wiper would need to find him again, but Abbadon had looked weak. By now he would quite probably have been restored to full strength, which greatly diminished hopes of killing him quietly. It also meant he might be less easily pressured into a deal, although Kami was planning on winning him through charm rather than force. Furthermore, she'd have to send a message to Appolyon. If she meant to unite Fear, she would need his assistance. In raw combat power, he was probably the greatest of the Lords of Fear, although he lacked Kami's extensive contacts and bribery, or, for that matter, any inclination towards subtelty. However, Kami was most sure his cooperation would be most useful, if not essential, to her plan. And if he formed an obstacle, she was sure she could convince the government that
Soon, a group of priests garbed in red were standing at the gates of the Corrupted Quarter, the government officials who usually guarded the area all mysteriously taking a coffee break at the same time. At the front stood Wiper itself, holding a diamond-edged Katana, With a creak, the gate was opened, as the small group moved through the area. The central man, who was wearing a silly hat, called out. "I assume we will not be brought to harm. We are representatives of Kami, and any harm to one of our party will be counted as a personal insult." Despite the appearent peaceful attitudes of the priests, Wiper killed any demon that got too close. She simply sliced the air in front of her, blurring, and the demon would be sliced in half, as if it had been cut. Proceeding as such, Wiper was obviously prepared to enact brutal cleansing upon the entire area, should it become a necessity.

Aisyle and Elysia talked quietly for the remainder of their 'lockdown', Elysia vanished while Light and Dark both sighed. They knew that there wasn't much hope for leaving this shared mind space any time soon.
Elysia opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling for a few moments, she went over the plan in her head. She slowly got ready she was so nervous that she was shaking, she read the note and located a mess anger bag much like her old one but with God's tears emblem on it. She carefully packed one of the suits in the bag and left the manor. Using a map that Aisyle had managed to mentally project she made her way to the best hospital in Fear, ignoring the fearful looks and the occasional whisper of traitor she reached the intensive care unit. Elysia felt sick as she browsed through the patients on life support, they were mostly empty bodies with no soul or consciousness to keep them running they would die but thanks to modern technology she had plenty of 'containers' to choose from. She stopped at a young man's room and questioned a near by doctor about him. "Oh! Him, he's is a John Doe, he was in an accident and was found with no identification, he has been on life support for almost a week now and his family has not stepped forward so his plug is scheduled to be pulled in a few hours." The doctor's voice was rushed and nervous, clearly upset that a member of God's Tears was lurking around the hospital. Elysia smiled, "Thank you very much, sorry I bothered you." She entered the room and closed the curtains, she needed complete concentration. She placed two fingers on his forehead and began the transfer. Aisyle soul began to separate from her own causing Elysia to feel as if a limb was being torn from her. After a few extremely painful minuets the transfer was complete and Elysia collapsed to the floor out of exhaustion and agony.

((Well according to those perimeters, They are Loyal to Kami, and would get rid of threats to Kami, which they would view Opposite Ashley as))
Several more demons appeared at the spot where Wiper and the accompanying priests were located. The area around the visitors soon began to darken with strange energy, and an intense feeling of fear began to creep up within everyone who wasn't a demon. However, the strange shift in the environment stopped as Apollyon spoke, giving the signal that for now, these men and Wiper would be welcome so long as they didn't try to do anything funny.
"Yes, no reason to attack representatives of someone I have a treaty with. Follow the demons, they'll keep you on a set path that won't shift from the nature of Sheol."

((They're more brainless servants. If Kami hadn't ordered them to eat, they'd have starved. And Kami sees Ashley less as a thorn in her side or any kind of threat as a source of amusement. Had Kami seen her as a threat, she would have made sure to employ all possible methods in wiping her out, including city-wide bombing and setting every agent at her disposal against her. No good having an enemy with access to her base.))
Kami was wearing contact lenses. Not many people knew, of course, but she had to keep up with modern technology, and glasses were simply unseemly. A small HUD, completely controlled neurologically, allowed her to track Aissyle's every movement. The hospital. Interesting. She couldn't spare Wiper, but she had a pair of Priests of Death, God's Tears' foremost excecutioners, trailing her newest arrival. She soon came to the conclusion via "anonymous" tip from a certain doctor that one of hers was asking into the patients under life support. Kami immediately figured out why. If Aissyle's soul could be transferred from his own body to Ellysia, then that made it possible it could be transferred to another body. Whereas she was unsure whether it would work, Kami quite enjoyed the idea. In fact, she'd have to find some way to research this soul transfer ability once this was all done - it seemed too useful to not be hers.
Kami gave her orders, and sat back, as she prepared her plans. She'd already contacted the government, and exerted her influence. Those who had been puppetted to oppose her had magically changed their opinions, all pretense gone. The government, after all, had been under her control since long ago. Anyone who got close to a position of power recieved a "visit" from God's Tears. In fact, they were even a part of every ceremony in court. She had for a long time enforced some modicum of order on Fear, supporting the Government and supplying them with money and soldiers. While Fear was not an ordered place, she had kept it in that perfect state of disorder and subterfuge, without complete chaos. However, now, it was time for her plans to become more...... grand.
Two Death Priests, like angels of wrath, moved through the crowd. One could not call it stealth, when streets cleared at their appearance. They stood before the hospital, and it was abandoned, patients left to die within, as all but the most devoted of doctors cowered. The men stood tall, their long black leather coats almost concealing the heavy black boots. Their faces were hidden by metal masks of human faces, utterly emotionless, shining brightly in the light, their hair cut short and tight. In a sheath at their side was a katana, said to be able to cut through steel. Standing now, in an empty street, they did not move. They did not appear to breathe, their stance like that of a predator, waiting to strike. Emblazoned upon their chest was a single red drop of blood, the symbol of God's Tears. Silently, the pair stepped forward, not a movement wasted, as the doors opened automatically before them. They approached the target, moving through the hallways, their heavy military boots clapping against the stone of the floor, the sound echoing through the abandoned building, as Death approached.
Wiper gave a slight nod. It ceased killing the demons, unless they approached to near. However, notably, neither it nor the men had flinched. Either they did not feel fear, or they could hide it perfectly. However, to those who could sense such things, their heartrates had not changed. Not that Wiper had a heartbeat, reinforcing the rumor that Wiper was, in fact, already dead, and yet had not let such a thing stop it. Implacably, the part moved onwards, as if nothing was amiss, approaching abbadon's throne, makign their way across the expanse of the Corrupted Quarter.
Standing before the throne, all but Wiper bowed. Wiper, for it's part, simply stood, offering no sign of even acknowledging Appolyon's existence. While it did seem to have a soul, Appolyon could sense that whatever Wiper was it felt..... broken. As if a human soul had been used as the chewtoy of a particularly sadistic Demon God, and then spat back out. However, from the corpses of the demons it could be seen that in no way this had limited Wiper's mysterious powers. One of the members of the party promptly stood forward to introduce himself.
"Greetings, Abbadon. My name is Johnathan, and I come here in honor of Kami." The man's expression was a friendly one, although it did not reach his eyes. From his spirit, it was obvious he was under some form of affliction. It was like his true self had been devoured, and left nothing but a hollow shell. While wholly different to Wiper, these too could hardly be called human. "I have come here to propose your continued existence. Kami has planned for a coup of the city, and offers for you to be part of this glorious future, With the fullest of grace, you are invited to the Church of Tears, the home of our beloved lady, and you are to be the first Demon to ever tread those halls." The man finished by flashing an award-winning smile, again not quite reaching his eyes.

Aisyle had laid Elysia onto the hospital bed and changed into the clothes she had packed when he heard some commotion outside. No doubt Kami thought that they had some grand plan to harm her and had sent some one to take care of them, however that really wasn't the case. Elysia just wanted to help Aisyle, she wanted to help everyone and it didn't surprise him since they were supposed to be opposites. Aisyle watched the unconscious Elysia, she was too naïve for this world and it was painfully obvious she didn't belong. Aisyle stood rigid, ready to attack whoever stepped through that door. "Y-you promised m-me you wouldn't fight." Elysia had somehow gotten herself out of the hospital bed and stood behind him.
"Who said any thing about fighting, I'm going to surrender, just like we planned." He smiled reassuringly at Elysia.
"I'm not stupid, I know exactly what you want to do, you want to make them pay for all they have done but you can't." She said. "I wouldn't expect you to understand, you never have truly lost, have you? Kami tried to break you and you put on a good show, I almost believed it my self but those are just little cracks, aren't they." Tears brimmed her eyes "New plan, survive, do you think you could do that for me?"
Aisyle was furious that Elysia had just said that, "No, if you are going to stand in my way, then I will have to eliminate you." He formed a gun in his hand and had the barrel resting against Elysia's forehead. He looked her straight in the eyes, neither of them were going to bow out so he pulled the trigger. Blood splattered across the room. The bullet had gone through her head and lodged itself in the wall, Aisyle expected her to be surprised or angry that he had shot her but there was just a look of disappointment on her face as she healed her self, blade of what looked like pure darkness appeared in her hands.
"The kiddie gloves are off now, I don't play games."

Apollyon motioned his hand upwards after a few seconds of letting the priests maintain their bowing positions. Naturally, Wiper didn't bow; Kami's puppet was beyond even showing the merest semblance of respect and honor unless it was directed to its master. He paid it no mind however.
As the priest known as Johnathan spoke, Apollyon took the time to listen to his voice and examine him, feeling the spiritual energy around him and the other priests. Wiper was included in these observations. Their souls were... crushed to say the least. Subdued and enthralled to serve the will of someone stronger than they. This didn't come as a surprise to Apollyon. He had done such things himself and knew that Kami's little church consisted entirely of puppets. A shame for them really, but Apollyon gave credit to whoever had the will to do such a thing.
When Johnathan finished his talk, Apollyon nodded, holding a moment of silence as he considered his words and thought of others things. So, Kami had great plans for the city of Fear. Not surprising really. The Crime Mistress of Fear had long held the government within her sway, it was only a matter of time before she tried to completely place herself above it and become the new overlord of Fear.
Great plans. Apollyon looked to the demons and civilians going about their daily duties in the distance, and then to the otherworldly structures and energy wisps curling throughout his Corrupted Sector.
Apollyon smiled. He also had a few great plans of his own, and he felt that they would go along quite nicely wirh Kami's inevitable taking of the government. An opportunity indeed.
"Representative of Kami," he spoke, "We thank you for giving us this offer. It is one that we'll gladly take Kami up on, and as an added bonus in helping her along..."
Apollyon stood up from his throne and leaped down in front of them. It didn't matter if these priests had skills and powers of their own along with Wiper, Apollyon knew that they'd either be no match for the power of Sheol or against his own. Still, he meant them no harm.
"We'll gladly employ a few certain skills of ours to aid..."
He bowed, his voice sounding sincere as possible. Afterall, as one of the most ruthless lords of Fear, he had to put in a bit more effort in sounding unthreatening and convincing so as to not scare anyone off.

The two priests of Death moved side by side, until they arrived at the scene of the crime. Aisyle, and Ellysia, the latter with a hole in her head. Kami frowned, as she recieved the images, and made a quick decision. It was obvious the pair had caused trouble, and although her two Death Priests were a dangerous force not to doubt, having both been minor metas themselves before transformation, she didn't like the odds of fighting both Dark and Aissyle at the same time, as it appeared the elusive personality had awakened. She did not wish to do this, of course, but she had installed measures to ensure the loyalty of Dark, at least, as well as the other occupants of Ellysia's body. Thus, a course of action was decided, and she activated her interface.
The Death Priest on the right stepped sideways, and placed a strange metallic disk on the ground, which sprayed mist into the air. Soon, a flickering image of Kami appeared, appearing three-dimensional because of the mist. A holographic projection. "Dearies, how unpleasant. Hadn't I told you that you work for me now?" Kami gestures at Dark. "that's you to, honey, as long as you're in that body. Now, in order to quickly end all this unpleasantness, miss Dark, allow me to make a proposal. If you perform service for me, I will use my honestly ridiculous funds to find you a nice new body of your own, with which you can run rampant all you want, without any restraint. As an added bonus, I'll neutralize the several toxins in your bloodstream and digestional tract that are used as insurance of your good behavior." Kami smiled, as she holds up a syringe. It was empty, of course, and had never contained the mentioned toxins, but it was more for the imagery than for accuracy. "What do you say? I think it would be a shame indeed if I were forced to kill you both. Take some time to decide."
"In the meantime, it looks like Aisyle has a nice new body! And it's cute as well. I assume you want to kill me now? You have that whole 'wrath' feel about you. Not that you have any way of locating me in any way, of course, apart from ripping Miracle Square down to it's foundations. And we both know how that'll end." Kami smiled, as she sat back. "But who am I to deny a strapping young man his vengeance? For you, how about this: you work for me, and I'll let you try and kill me. We both know that if you disagree, even if you can defeat two of my Death Priests, you have no idea where I am, and I know everything about you. I could simply drop a nuclear bomb on your location. With a new world to explore, I have no more need to preserve this rathole of a city." Kami looked around, pleased that she had achieved her goal. Even if the two of them disagreed and became problems, a single well-placed nuclear weapon would deal with them presently, and althugh it would be a tragic loss, it would not be an unforgivable one.
Wiper's blade was ready. A tension, a preparation for the uncoming combat, as for a moment, it seemed Wiper would strike at the Demon. But Wiper reevaluated. The jump had not been an attack. There was no threat. Whereas Wiper remained at the ready, it lowered it's weapon, moving out of the combat stance it had adopted. Once more going over the situation, Wiper came to the conclusion that negotiations had been concluded succesfully, and that it's services were no longer of necessity in this location. With a graceful movement, Wiper stepped into the shadows, there was a blur, and the mysterious assassin was gone from both sight and sense, as if it had never been there at all, leaving only the trace spiritual energy of the activation of a meta power.
Johnathan, for his part, gracefully bowed, and turned away. "How gracious of you. I beg you to follow me, Appolyon, as we approach Miracle Square. It's design is as such that no intruder can penetrate it's design, and I must ask you to follow my movements exactly, lest you set off a trap, and cause complications." It was a thinly veiled threat. They did not wish Appolyon to think them defenseless, or rather, Kami did not. Furthermore, this was to prevent him from moving into areas that he was not meant to go. No doubt, Kami would have rigged a system to ensure he did not abuse the hospitality to launch an attack, although what form this system would take, was as of yet unknown. Johnathan led Appolyon through the busy streets of Fear, as streets cleared before the Demon and the Priests. Rumors started, and whispers spread like wildfire, as a connection was formed between Appolyon and God's Tears. Earlier, Kami had already anounced her control of Fault, and taken together, these events seemed to be putting Kami in a place of supreme power, although there were an equal amount of rumors of Appolyon taking over God's Tears.
As the escort reached Miracle Square, Appolyon was led into a house, as a fake wall was removed, and down into what seemed like a sewer system, except maintained exceptionally well. Johnathan leads Apollyon through this system following some invisible guidance route, until he reaches what appears to be nothing, until another fake wall is removed. Johnathan then types a code into a panel, and, instead of a door opening, what appears to be a portal appears in midair, devised through science rather than magic. Instant transportation to any location. Johnathan steps through the portal, and it remains open, beckoning for Appolyon to follow.

Apollyon followed Johnathan and the other priests, taking in the scents and feeling the energies and dangers of the areas where they tread to ensure he was not being led into some trap. The symbiote and his demonic senses alerted him to several clever traps and their location, but the abassadors of God's Tears carefully avoided these and made sure to guide Apollyon in their direction. Looks like they could be trusted, for now at least.
"Hm... do us a favor and inform Kami of a proposal in increasing the security and its subtelty in these places. If she is to enact her plans, she'll need to be absolutely sure the traps can in no way be avoided."
A portal soon appeared before them and Appolyon was beckoned to follow, which he did so.

For a moment, searig white, as Appolyon feels the air burn. It's like being set on fire, before he manages to adapt, and he realizes he's standing on a small round metal platform. Over a volcano. Which explains the heat, at least. Johnathan and the others are nowhere to be seen, and Fear cannot be seen in the sky. In fact, all that can be seen is the ocean, held back by a massive glass dome. Before you is a citadel made of dark stone, wearing the emblem of God's Tears on two massive banners which flank the golden gates. The platform you're on slowly floats towards the gates, as the sound of trumpets fills the air, and through large stained glass windows, figures can be seen moving. Through the opened gates lies a massive palace of marble and gold, hundreds of servants lining the walls, Kami sitting upon an elegant throne, before her a richly laid banquet table, covered in human body parts as well as less..... exotic food.
"Welcome, Apollyon, to the Citadel of Blood, the true home of God's Tears. I hope it is to your liking." Kami smiles warmly, beckoning for Appolyon to take a seat on a chair which two servants place down. The entire room smells of flowers, although none are in sight, and from less than a meter, even your fine nose somehow fails to pick up the scent of the meat. The entire area is filled with Kami's presence, and you couldn't distinguish her form from one of the walls, had you not had eyes, so thick is her spirit spread over the place. She gstures, as Wiper steps from what appears to be thin air, and at another gesture, the servants are gone, vanished in the blink of an eye. Wiper takes up a position on a black throne next to Kami's golden throne, This is, undoubtedly, Kami's terrain, and you feel suddenly unsure of what is real and what isn't.
