MEMOKEEPER —

help ,  here  —  lend a hand .

just a moment ,  if i may  —

i stand up for sense  &  justice .

do make certain you meet with success .

such a day for such a sad farewell .

this is such a silly game .

be a sport  &  stop complaining !

play along ,  you must .

forgive me ,  i didn’t know .

we haven’t heard your name yet ,  friend .

you need some manners .

if we could speak alone ?

how much have your superiors bothered to tell you ?

you are horribly old - fashioned ,  aren’t you ?

feel free to form your own opinion ,  though it appears you already have .

it seems i’ve made matters worse .

i’ll leave you to your business .

excuse me  …  i should apologize .

is it me ,  or are you this nervous around all women ?

do be a dear  &  tell me all about it .

sounds like an extraordinary place to live a life .

there is no such thing as magic .

to call a person superstitious is to imply they fear magic .

poets have silly notions .

you do believe me now ,  don’t you ?

you need less big words ,  &  more common sense .

what the hell are you doing ?

i am not here for revenge .  i am here to bring justice .

i manage fine alone .

i deserve to help you .  don’t you see how much this means ?

what are you spying on ?

i beg you ,  no more ,  please .

i will not allow it .  i will not !

why was i not told of this ?

you should step outside .

sorry for disturbing you .  i thought a forgotten candle was burning .

having trouble sleeping ?

i have something to show you ,  if you have a moment .

these scars .  how did you get them ?

oh ,  you are hopeless .

i have a gift for you .  true magic which even you will not be able to deny .

are you saying i should be frightened ?

what will it take for you to realize this is no laughing matter ?

don’t be afraid  …  don’t be afraid .

you promised justice .  people have put their trust in you .

why would you do such a thing ?

leave me .  you are not welcome here .

allow me some time .

the things i said to you before  …  i was wrong to say them .

every word you spoke had truth in it .

if you want me to go ,  i will .  do you want me to leave ?

i no longer know what i think or what i feel .

why are you so afraid ?  is there truly such harm in uncertainty ?

i should be going  …  good day to you .

i’m one of the few people who likes you .

i apologize if i worried you .

my god  …  what has happened ?

yes ,  i did notice that ,  thank you .

i am a bad habit .  there’s nothing for it .

don’t let him get you .

lay still ,  [ name ] .  do not move .

i’m drawing bad blood from the wound .

you were half - drowned when they found you .

i serve a fine purpose alive .

midnight seems an appropriate time .

hide in my room  &  bolt the door til i return .

i was getting worried .

do you have anything to clean it with ?

i know you saw me .

i know you followed me last night .

i appreciate your concern .

you are so upset now  …  &  yet ,  you seemed in such good spirits last night .

why have i not seen your face for so long ?

i have been reading your journal .

what would you have me believe ?

if you think i am behind this ,  say it .

call me a liar ,  then ,  &  a  murderer .

what is stopping you ?  what has happened to your ability to transcend sentimentality ?

don’t dare stand looking as if you still care for me ,  after all that you have said .

if i were to confess ,  would that ease your suffering ?  would that make it easier for you to hate me ?

the next person to lay hands on me will have a bullet .

you do not know all that has happened .

why  …  why are you like this ?

to hell with this place  &  all the people here .

won’t you change your mind ?  what can i say to convince you ?

take me with you .  there’s nothing left for me here .

forgive me .  i failed you .

you  …  you’re alive .

no one will believe your lies .

i am not going to kill you .  not me  …

A  SPLENDID  MOVE  ,  PURPOSEFULLY  DRAWING  NIHILITY  INTO  A  TRAP  ;  FORCING  IT  TO  UNSHEATH  FOR  THE  WHOLE  WORLD  TO  SEE  .  but  now  that  their  game  has  come  to  a  conclusion  ,  acheron  had  little  choice  but  to  flee  the  planet  of  festivities  .  the  well  planned  consequences  of  revealing  her  true  nature  were  soon  to  catch  up  to  her         ——       bloodhounds  biting  at  her  heel  almost  immediately  . 

despite  it  being  a  set  back  to  her  plan  ,  she  chose  not  to  fight  the  tides  of  fate  just  yet  .  the  waves  may  temporarily  be  washing  her  out  of  penacony  ,  but  it  would  not  last  .  presently  ,  the  only  thing  she  need  worry  about  were  her  pursuers  .  needless  bloodshed  was  out  of  the  question  ,  so  she  chose  to  attempt  to  escape  the  old  fashioned  way  ;  refusing  to  call  upon  even  an  ounce  of  her  power  where  it  was  not  necessary  . 

the  emanator  strode  quickly  though  the  bustling  streets  ,  dipping  in  and  out  of  the  crowds  of  party-goers  ,  losing  briefly  the  attention  of  the  bloodhounds  each  time  .  their  persistence  was  unmatched  however  &  they  began  to  draw  closer  with  ease  .  the  idea  of  being  caught  did  not  particularly  phase  acheron  ,  but  she  preferred  not  to  add  to  the  list  of  headaches  she  was  accumulating  .  nihility's  chosen  shifted  faster  now  ,  aiming  to  slip  through  an  alleyway  in  order  to  make  her  escape  .  it's  when  she  was  about  to  cross  into  the  veil  of  darkness  the  alley  offered  that  she  felt  soft  fingertips  promptly  curl  'round  the  width  of  her  wrist  ,  tugging  her  through  a  small  door  at  the  very  entrance  of  the  alley  . 

there  ,  in  the  small  and  dimly  lit  storage  space  of  one  of  penacony's  many  shops  ,  acheron  stood  near  pressed  against  another  .  vibrant  yet  permanently  near  indifferent  violet  gaze  settled  ‘pon  the  other’s  face  ,  widening  only  a  fraction  as  she  recognised  immediately  those  familiar  features  .  lips  parted  to  speak  ,  instinct  wanting  to  mention  black  swan's  name  ,  but  without  managing  to  .  those  same  ,  gentle  digits  lifted  before  the  emanator  could  breathe  a  word  ,  a  finger  pressing  against  acheron's  lips  in  an  attempt  to  stifle  any  noise  . 

it  worked  &  acheron  did  naught  but  gaze  down  upon  the  memo  keeper  in  silence  ,  hearing  the  heavy  hastened  footfalls  of  bloodhounds  passing  by  .  it  was  only  when  the  finger  was  lifted  and  black  swan  deemed  it  safe  to  speak  ,  that  acheron  finally  uttered  .               “            …  always  in  the  right  place  at  the  right  time  ,  miss  memokeeper  .            ” 

her  eyes  glide  over  the  cards,  the  numerous  portraits  distorting  as  she  flips  through  them,  her  slender  fingertips  make  contact  with  one  and  picking  it  up  with  an  unreadable  look.  (  she's  moving.  )  she  exhales  a  sigh,  standing  up  quickly  and  begins  to  move  amongst  the  crowd,  blending  in  with  the  splendor  and  wonder  of  the  billboards  and  shops  that  illuminated  the  city.  the  motion  was  effortless,  practiced,  almost  unnoticeable.
