Who: Misery, OPEN
Where: The Rooftop of Libra, at night. May result in a 13th Hour Thumping session later, if desired.
Summary: Even talented witches need to clear their heads.
Warnings: Potential Misery snideness.
It was all well and good to talk about doing something, but Misery has been forced to admit after a few days of this that she's mostly just going in circles.

The astrology stuff hasn't helped. Certainly, there's no easy "snap your fingers" solution to the effects of the zodiac on people. Normally, one could probably cut off the effects by just not believing in it, but a fat lot of good that had done back during that night considering most people weren't even aware their birth signs were related.

The search for baku wasn't working too well either. She'd been out and about blasting demons, but none of them had looked like the one she was looking for, and none of the components she'd found seemed to have any effect on the subconscious mind. Which had meant far too frequently dreams forcing her to think about days she'd rather not think about.

That's not really an issue tonight. She can't sleep.

She sits on the edge of the building she lives in, looking out over the city. So many buildings. Mother had told her the island had been like that once. Full of buildings, bustling crowds, life. All destroyed in a night. Such power had fascinated her once. Now she just wants to forget she had anything to do about it. And her own brain isn't even letting her do that.

"Blast it all, what will it take to be free for real," she mutters under her breath.

Threaded | Flat

If Atsuro had happened to be in the vicinity and had managed to mysteriously sneak up on her unobserved, he would announce his presence at this point with some clever remark about 'what free cookies weren't enough' or possibly a reference to a certain killer whale who had once thought the same thing. Probably. Who knew what killer whales really thought about?

Instead, Atsuro announces his presence by accidentally pressing the wrong button on the elevator and being too busy playing with his COMP to notice until he stepped out onto the rooftop.

"Whoa. ............We have a roof?"

Although Anant resided within the Pisces Ward, it was too much to ask for them to stay in the right place like a normal person. No, Anant was in a wandering mood, roaming through the streets, going into random buildings without invitation - no doubt they were going to have whatever passed for police called on their ass in the near future - or even snooping about in the other apartment complex.

As in, Libra.

Anant liked tall places, and the apartment complexes were amongst the tallest of buildings. Logic dictated that Anant would go to the very top of the tower, so to speak, and that was what happened.

That masked, bizarre cultist? They stepped out onto the roof, head tilted up to observe the stars with their hands pressed against their mask in a mockery of cupping their cheeks.

"They're even brighter the higher you go! Fantastic...the sky is so clear here. Remarkable! Oh..."

Anant noticed the lady they had spoke to over the network, and they approached with good cheer.

"Good evening! Have I intruded upon your brooding?"
