[Phone]

[Marisa's not exactly sounding like herself today. In fact, she sounds a little freaked out though her voice is quiet.]

Um... What, uh... What happens when... ah. What happens when drones, um.... die?

[1125 Taylor (action)]

[Anyone passing by 1125 Taylor might notice the front door is half open and there sun reflects off of something thick and red dripping slowly down it.

[OOC WARNING: Marisa is now suffering the Postman's Curse for breaking into the post office. Any characters coming to 1125 Taylor may be subjected to bodily injury should they have physical contact with Marisa. PM me for more details if needed.]

I have seen what this town does, the limits in which they will go. Do you think I am here of my own free will? Do you think I would trade parts of myself for my own items with another choice? [Her voice was growing heavy and entering judge mode.] I am the Supreme Judge of Paradise, I a member of the Committee of What is Right and Wrong, I am directly under the Ten Kings. If we were not under their mercy I would not play with this foul unjust system!

[There is a long moment before she speaks up again, her tone is a bit lighter but she is still keeping a weight to it.]

Much can go wrong with both of those abilities. It would probably be best to see her.

[Normally, Marisa would back away from Eiki when she started using that tone. But she can't... she can't if she wanted to look herself in the eye the next time she saw her reflection.]

Then why aren't you fighting against it? You just waiting for one of them Kings to show up and save you? Nothing worth having ever comes easy, Yama. I don't know about you, but I earn things through my own blood, sweat and tears. I endure until I find the key I need.

[She's not yelling, but there's an odd strength to her words. It's not often Marisa let's a core belief of hers be seen.]

I do not need them to come, I should be able to deal with it myself. And that is what I am trying to tell you. I am unable to do basic things within my power, there is a restriction. I can not do what I should and need to do. The only rules here are theirs. That is not to say there are no small victories, but what you are doing now? That is just deluding yourself and giving yourself away as a victim. There is a lot to be said about slow and steady, if progress is to be made that is the only way. We are out leveled here.

Endure as you like, but what is the point in enduring if you simply destroy yourself and all around you in the process?

The doer of evil reaps suffering,
Here and hereafter,
In both states remembering, "I have committed evil."
Not only here, but hereafter, he experiences more suffering.
Because he has gone to a state of suffering.

Get out.

You need to return those! You will simply suffer more and more until you do.

You don't even know if he'll take them back. Now... get out.

I am quite sure he will, assuming so is just denial.

[There's a pause, she seems as if she's about to say her goodbyes as requested but...]

No. I can not have you causing more harm than you already have.

I ain't gonna touch anyone! I've got research to do, so get out of my house.

That is not a promise you can keep.

But I'm damn well gonna try until I can figure out something. I'm not gonna go crawling back to that creepy-ass man and beg him to take back something that's mine!

I'm gonna find some other way to deal with this. Get the fuck out of my house.

Trying is not good enough, trying will surly get someone killed! As for what is yours? The hat is yours and nothing else, that ability no doubt belongs to someone else and you have no right to keep it.

I'll leave, but I will return.

Then they can come take it from me.

[She walks away from Eiki, heading toward her room.]

You better be gone when I come back out.

Don't make such threats.

[But she leaves anyway.]
