Mary Magdalene || Xenosaga

[animus_sorrow]

[Chilling on the meadow floor, far from the stairs where she hopes no one will find her while she cries her eyes out.]

[temptestament]

*Sorry Mary, you've been found. There's one very worried Testament kneeling down behind you to put a hand on your shoulder.*

Are you alright?

[animus_sorrow]

[Noooo! Let her be miserable alone!

Oh fine... She jumps a bit and turns quickly, rubbing the tears from her eyes and trying to look normal.]

I-I'm fine. I mean, I will be.

[temptestament]

*Misery and loneliness are a bad combination, Mary. Says the guy who toggles between sulking and taking full advantage of the fact he doesn't need sleep to work when nobody's looking.*

Mary...

[animus_sorrow]

[Stop seeing through her Allen. Why is it that all of your incarnations are so good at that??

Just... Going to stare at a flower in between them now, head down. All the denial, Allen. All of it.]

[temptestament]

*It's natural talent. And maybe a bit of office politics training. He squeezes her shoulder with a sympathetic frown.*

I know we can't do anything for the universes that have already died, but...I'm sure there are more out there that we can save if we find out what's happening.

[animus_sorrow]

[Mary nods slowly, reaching to squeeze his hand. She needs the physical and mental support so much.]

You're right. We can protect them.

[temptestament]

*He relaxes a bit, trying to be as comforting as he can.*

And the people in this tower, too. This can't be all there is for the refugees.

[animus_sorrow]

[You're always a good person to be around Allen. You're like an anchor to sanity.]

I'm sure we can find someplace for them. Where they can be happy.

[temptestament]

*One of his many duties...*

And until then, we can probably do something for the people here.

*Because really, what good is godlike power if you just sit on your butt and ignore the people it could help?*

[animus_sorrow]

[Or talents.]

I hope we can.

[anima_sorrow]

[ She can hide, but there's someone who will always be able to find her. And he can feel how sad she is. And when he gets close to her, it's an arm on her shoulder he put. ]

Mary...

[animus_sorrow]

[And he's the one person she will turn to at any time. She turns and throws her arms around him, face buried against his chest while she cries.]

[anima_sorrow]

[ And he wraps his arms around her, holding her close and tenderly all the time she cries. Not bothering her, just holding her. Maybe sliding a hand down her hairs from time to time. ]

[animus_sorrow]

[She just cries against him for awhile, until she's too exhausted to cry anymore. Then her breath just catches a few times, trying to choke back dry sobs.]

I... The letters weren't lying... It's all gone, all of it... I couldn't do anything... They're all dead...

[anima_sorrow]

I know.

[ He raised a finger to wipe away her tears and spoke very slowly, very low and nicely. ]

It's not your fault, don't guilt yourself. Nobody could have done anything.

[animus_sorrow]

[She doesn't even have enough energy to stop him from wiping away her tears.]

It is... I should have activated Zarathustra. I should have listened to Wilhelm.

[anima_sorrow]

It wouldn't have changed anything Mary.

[ He looks at her tenderly. ]

I... I don't think this is a destruction we could have prevented. And even if it was... The reccurence needed to end.

[animus_sorrow]

Another recurrence, and we might have found a solution.

[Nope, not cheering up yet.]

[anima_sorrow]

How many recurrence, Mary? It must end a day, and this was the day. Then I did what I could to give our universe thousands of years before the deadline.

[ A big hugs. ]

Another reccurence wouldn't have helped.

[animus_sorrow]

[Clinging to him.]

How can you know that?
