genessia | VOICE; locked from lucifer and orihime

Attention anyone who's interested in doing some good and is capable of cooperating with others!

There's a girl named Orihime who has gone missing. I've talked to someone who cares about her a fair amount and we both think there's a reason to believe that the person named Lucifer may be responsible for holding her captive in dire circumstances. It's a complicated situation and while most of the evidence is admittedly circumstantial, this is the same person who terrorized the entire city and resulted in multiple deaths and severe injuries only two months ago. He also heavily implied it in a conversation with a man named Adam.

If you're interested in investigating and rescuing Orihime, meet us at Garden Park Apartments, room 106, this Saturday at 8:30AM. We will be discussing a plan and how to go about finding out what really happened to Orihime. You must be willing to work in a team if you want to help or we're not going to get anywhere. In the mean time, if you have any substantial information you would like to share that will help those of us who are trying to put this effort together, reply to this post with it before it's too late.

Just so we're clear, yes that is Adam's apartment. Neither he nor I hit our heads and forgot that we strongly dislike each other. We have agreed to work together to find this girl since I think she's actually important to him despite being a human, and he actually thanked me for it. I'm still wary but I don't think Adam's the danger in this specific situation.

Now if only I was here to hear it.

And, no. You don't need to know more about me.

[Then finally, he straightens his face once more. Humans are such idiots. If only he didn't like them so much, he'd spare Lucifer the agony of having to deal with them.] You honestly believe that he will willingly give up a girl whom you presume he's keeping for God knows what reason? Do you even know who he is? What he is?

No, but it'd certainly help if you're going to keep talking like I'm being stupid for not knowing and appreciating my newly discovered home invader.

[ Her tone held some scathe as she said that. If she hadn't been so intent on keeping her weapon at the ready, she probably would've cocked her hip and put her hands on them. ]

Lucifer, "King of Hell" is what he introduced himself as just before he nearly destroyed all of Genessia a couple of months ago. I don't think he'll be willing to give her up and I also don't think that every single person involved is ready to face him. I'm certainly not. But the world never waits until we're ready.

[ Weiss lowers her sword, sort of. The tip is facing the ground now, trying to look relaxed even if she's in a position to do a lot of damage very quickly if she needs to- but she won't unless he tries to move first. ]

Lucifer went out of his way to taunt Adam about Orihime and while I think saving an innocent girl is important, there's a lot more at stake than just her life now. He didn't need provocation the first time, or the second time. He's just playing with every one of us and it's not going to get any better by pretending it didn't happen and watching people we care about get taken away.

[ She's dealt with losing people that way her whole life-- Adam certainly not helping. And that explanation isn't even including half of what could come from this. ]

[Gabriel gave Weiss a semi-irritated look, complete with eye rolling. Was this girl for real? Human's and their existential drama.] Loki. And that's the end of that discussion.

It's all true. He lords over it. More than anything, he himself created the entire place and most of the demons that reside in it. You think it was impressive that he destroyed a whole city? Wait until you see him destroy an entire world. He has that much power within him.

And you don't find it suspicious that he taunted Adam in a public feed? [He certainly saw it. It seems like his brother has found a new vessel. A vessel that wasn't rotting at all.]

[Then, he sighs.] Listen, I have nothing against you. I have nothing against saving the girl. But I'm telling you, unless you have a god by your side, fighting for you, chances of retrieving the girl is minimal, unless he wants you to retrieve her.

[ A name is better than she had before. Weiss doesn't let down her guard even as he makes some points. She knew he was powerful and she didn't expect this to be easy though. And it was suspicious, but there could be a lot of reasons for it. Some villains wouldn't shut up about their plans, others flaunted them because they thought there was nothing that the others could do. Some used it to lure others into traps. Weiss wasn't exactly sure what type of thing that would be. A key reason not to go this alone. ]

Well we do have the "King of the Netherworld" on our side, but if you know any gods I'd gladly ask them too.

[ It was starting to sound like he might just be terrible at starting a reasonable conversation more than being some kind of freakish stalker, at least. ]

[He was laughing inwardly as he listened to her thoughts. This was the guy who created all the sins and made demonic lords cower in fear. He was anything but a Bond-villain.]

Hmmmm...King of the Netherworld.

[He had a short pout on his face as he took time to think about.]

Kill the being who created all demons, devils, evils and the entire Netherworld or in this case, Hell, with a successor of a Demon King. Do you see where I'm going with this?

[There was only a handful of solutions to this. Have God fight Lucifer, or for them to find Michael to fight for them. Either way, Gabriel was not helping.]

You're suggesting that it's impossible to improve upon or surpass the original. Except every living species has already disproven that in almost every world.

[ She pauses for a brief moment before adding: ]

If he was the most powerful being possible, he wouldn't be stuck in Genessia with the rest of us.

[ Weiss doesn't smile. She's not going to belittle what he says anymore, and it's clear she's at least decided to take him seriously for now. She takes one step forward, keeping Myrtenaster in the same position. ]

No one's ever improved upon or surpassed anything without trying. I'm going to make sure to thoroughly explain the situation and your concerns to everyone involved, so if they still want to after they're aware of everything, then that's what's going to happen. I don't expect you to help, but since your actions here seem to stem from concern about where each of these people are going, I imagine that you won't be a physical threat to anyone so I would appreciate it if you would stay out of the way. You're free to try to explain your points to the others by showing up at the meeting as well, but if you get in our way then you'll just be furthering the fate that you're trying to deter.

If you're talking about mortals, then yes, that's the case. But when you're talking about someone who has millions of years head start, I don't think that's the case, bucko.

[His brows furrow at that.] Oh trust me. It's still very possible. [Extremely powerful being who can bend reality and traverse different times and space right in front of her after all.]

It's like talking to a brick wall... [He sighs and then takes a few steps back. And to think he's the one who loves humanity above anything else.]

I'm not belittling you, or anyone you're bringing there. [In fact, he frowns. For all his power, he was not going to fight Lucifer. Ever.] Imagine, all the most powerful demons who commands legions, quake before him. Hell, he could even use pagan gods for finger painting.

If you have someone who can teleport you in and out, that would be your best option. But you'd need to break the barrier first. [He won't even volunteer for that task at all. He still felt the blade's heat as it ran through his heart when Lucifer decided to kill him.]

[ She holds up her right hand in a 'stop' gesture after a moment. ]

You're making a lot of descriptions that I can't actually understand considering we don't have those kinds of things in my world. We have the Creatures of Grimm, which have been trying to wipe out both humans and faunus since before there were history books. So honestly, I don't even know what "pagan gods" are and we don't have demons beyond the metaphorical psychological ones. I'm not saying he's not powerful, but there's a big communication error here, which probably is what's getting a brick wall on both our parts.

..But thanks for the advice. [ Even if he was being basically terrifying in sneaking into her room and acting as though he could kill her at a moment's notice, she got that he was essentially trying to help them not get killed. ]
