[CLOSED] we pray for the light to reign
WHO: Akira Turner (Light Yagami), Akira Kurusu, Goro Akechi, Yusuke Kitagawa, Elliot Craig, James Barnes, Tatsuo, Eren Jaeger, Derek Matthews
WHERE: Light Yagami's Murder Palace
WHEN: December 10th through December 25th
WHAT: Akira Turner AKA Light Yagami's ego has amassed in the creation of a Palace.
WARNINGS: Violence, talks of crime, death, punishment, murder
[ Upon entering the Palace, characters will find themselves...in Recolle. That's right--the Palace is the entire city of Recolle, his true domain. But what was once a city is now a desolate landscape. There seems to be nothing for miles and miles around, but if one looks to the east, something glimmers in the distance. Characters should go towards that light.
The trip may be long, but it won't be uneventful. There are a strange plethora of humanoid monsters that characters will encounter. Luckily, most seem uninterested in engaging with characters, however if they are taunted or goaded into action, they have abilities that drain the life from attackers.
Finally, the source of the light begins to become into view. It’s a temple, a large gothic cathedral, consisting of stories upon stories. The architecture inside matches the same theme, dimly lit hallways made of stone. It’s a maze with large open spaces as well as winding corridors. At first it seems generic, but the higher in the structure characters go, there begin to be clear indications of just what this temple worships. Yes, even in a hall of worship there is a big fuck off statue of Akira Turner in the center.
More of those gangly creatures may make an appearance in the temple, but characters really need to look out for the worshipers, who will destroy non-believers on the spot.
There is one creature in particular who is depicted in a lot of the art and will even make a physical appearance now and then. It tends to hang in the shadows, but if you entertain it, it may entertain a question or two. Just don’t bank on it. ]

he clicks both his gear handles to blades, and slides them out. ]
What else?
no subject
Yeah, what else? And what do you mean by loose end? And what did this Turner guy not want his boys to find out?
[What ever "his boys meant." Why do guys like these need to be cryptic all the time?]
no subject
He twitches. ]
You really didn't do your homework before parading into my office, did you? Turner was getting sloppy. Loose ends are CUT when they become a problem. And in my business, I can't afford any loose ends.
[ He twitches again, small cracks starting to appear all along his skin, the silhouette of veins beneath his flesh just as black as the smoke ]
I only make it a point to know the personal lives of my workers if it's relevant. Turner was never high up on the food chain. His lack of aspiration and dedication was a red flag that he wasn't going to last forever. It's a dirty business, and if you're not willing to play dirty, you're not going to make it. He didn't want his kids to end up in the same line of work, as far as I can tell. But if they knew? Who cares. He's certainly not talking anymore.
[ He coughs, expelling a soot-like substance onto the desk. This form won't hold. ]
Now, since we're being chatty, I have a question of my own...
no subject
So he used the notebook to get his family out of this situation.
[ That Akira no longer exists, but he can't help but sympathize with him who was stuck in such a situation... Then Goro who had to also deal with that as well. Shaking his head, there's no point in throwy any pity to personalities that no longer exist.
The other Akira still killed after those two months. ]
What is it?
[ Might as well answer the dead man's last question. ]
no subject
silent, because there’s nothing to add or object to in the sense that this all sounds familiar. that’s only human. some loose ends need to be cut indeed, because some people really can’t afford loose ends. eren jaeger understands this. if he would do the same . . .
it all depended.
you need to be a demon to get certain things done. was akira turner right? was he wrong? he probably thought he was right, a lot of people thought he was right. eren, for one, didn’t consider the act of killing criminals wrong. it didn’t bother him. it wasn’t important enough to him because in the end, humans always weigh their priorities. eren just does it more openly, but flares when people are hypocrites enough to preach of justice, for all. give him a fucking break.
muggers were not just with his father. and when they were caught, he saw the type of people they were. they were piles of shit. vermin. the only way to redeem themselves was to drop dead and start over, that’s what eren thought.
he was here not because it was the right thing to do. he certainly agreed: akira turner needed to be stopped. akira turner could kill more, but that was not eren’s priority. turner would wipe those in the way of his ultimate goal, and eren . . .
eren was only doing the same thing. he was not here because this was justice, he was here for the gain this would give his heart in the long run. he’d rather see turner, one he barely knows, dead instead of the akira by him, or james again, or anyone else under his span of care. something in eren slips into slumber and another awakens; he’s collected, he’s only waiting, albeit impatient to twist whatever was left inside erik to lead them to their prize. he’s going to kill this shadow the minute he has a chance to. ]
Get it over with.
[ turner has gotten too close to what eren holds dear, and that’s why he must die. ]

Derek presses the tip of his wand into Erik's neck. Completely ignoring the fact that there is so much black smoke around him.
He raises an eyebrow expectantly. Just what was this slime ball gonna ask?]
SORRY GUYS my notifs were messed for this thread. they should be fixed now
Do you think that after this interrogation I'm gonna just let you walk out of here...!?!
[ He doesn't leak--he bursts, flesh and black ooze spreading all over everything--and everyone--in the immediate splatter zone. Where the visage of Erick once sat is instead a gangling creature, part bone--a twisted version of the familiar shadow of Anubis. His scales are heavily weighted with miniature doll-like people, all clamoring to get off on the light side and piles of cash on the heavy side.
He stretches nearly to the ceiling and reaches out with a large clawed hand to swipe at the party. ]
as long as you still love us freya
... Derek. Well. Gotta have faith in him, too. He starts his assault by firing first, then beckoning Satanael out of the burst of blue flames that appear behind him. The Persona charges its attack first with Hell Raiser. Not much Akira can do now. ]
Be careful. These types of Shadows have skills that can instantly take you out if you're caught.
[ COMFORTING. At least if this is like Anubis... He should have mudo skills? ]
we love u
his maneuver gear reels for the farthest corner behind them, and with the biggest blast of compressed air he can give, eren swoops sideways, first to grab derek and then take them, aerially, away from the shadowy limb.
he’ll drop him quickly, in the safest place to gather their fighting thoughts possible (the spoiler: there’s no real thinking through fighting, unless it’s impromptu). it’s large, and it looks like a very distorted version of anubis. ]
I remember. [ eren looks up to assess the space— and he’s pretty sure he’d crush everyone if he shifted. plan b— he’s not above being a decoy, and after a split second’s notice, he flies toward the shadow. like right in front of it. ]
bless u eren
Thanks!
[When Eren lets him down, Derek takes an offensive stance.]
Do you know what weakens it?
[Shadows... so... light? Lumos wasn't that strong of a spell... perhaps fire?
Derek raises his wand and points it at the shadow.]
INCENDIO!
[A stream of fire erupts from the end of Derek's wand and goes straight at the shadow.]
