"FELLOW ACOLYTES IN CRUELTY!" Shouts the Preistess as she stands upon a park bench to rise above her congregation with rapturous ecclesiastical delight. Hurriedly, she begins shoveling the food and drinks into one of her magically expanded pockets. It would be a damn shame if it all just went to waste after all. The dragon pauses and looks around once more. They really forked out for some of the good stuff too.įor a moment, the mizuchi glances about to make sure she is unnoticed. Everyone knows that.īut apparently for how cultish this lot were, none of them seem to have picked up on that fact. She's never actually asked for offerings before, even in her old life. The amount of stuff on the merry go round is honestly kind of ridiculous really. Half an hour later, once the circus of cultists finally leave and she's certain no one is watching, Jin wanders over to the park and quietly examines the offerings left behind. Did she terrify an entire generation of Abyssal so badly, their descendants venerate her as some kind of dark god? "Behold the Dark One! Behold the Dark One! Behold the Dark One! Behold the Dark One! Behold the Dark One!"ĭid. Jin really has no face or words that can accurately describe how baffled, disturbed, offended, and yet strangely prideful she feels at this moment.
"Behold the Dark One! Her grave does not contain her! The fallen mizuchi of the nightmare upon the waves! Her barbarous ingenuity unmatched! A living anathema to life in an ouroboros of life and death! She who breaks her enemies, until they are driven before her! We salute you! May we share in but a glimpse of your ancient and terrible vision!"
DILUVION YAMATO CRAB SERIES
for the past few years- Yeah, everyone else knows- but the for Abyssals- Oh.įinally, with all the offerings laid out, the priestess Re begins leading the rest in an almost evangelically zealous series of bows and shouts. sort of true- but that's not all she does! Even, well, if err. "Lifeblood of black decay! Ravager of steel and flesh! Harbinger of rust and rot!" What? Well, sure, that's technically. "Power beyond the twilight and crimson blood that flows!" Well, at least they have good taste? She'd really rather not have to break up this particular group for public indecency. "Poisonous fear and sadistic ruin beyond compare! Breaker of courage and slayer of hopes!" Jin is particularly disturbed about how much the second Re-Class in the group almost looks ready to start. "Rage that transcends even death! Vengeance unquelled!" As a Ru-Class next lays down her offering of rice balls, the fanatical fervor reaches enough of a fever pitch that one of the light cruisers at the back actually does faint this time. "Behold the Dark One!" Oh Jesus, it's a cult. "The darkness deeper and more terrible than any abyss!" proclaims a fanatical Ta-Class, who looks only a few steps away from fainting with emotional passion as she places down some dried fish "Behold the Dark One!" answers the rest fervently. "She who is crueler than the seas!" declares a passionate Ne-Class as she places down a bottle of Sake. The Abyssal then gestures with a sprig of sakaki wood and a makeshift gohei, signifying the rest of the group of Abyssals to begin placing Shinto offerings onto the merry go round at the center as if it were an altar.
"Behold the Dark One!" cries one of the Re-Class reverently, her normal hoodie and bikini top replaced with a very non-standard miko uniform and chest wraps. In the park across the street, where the heart of her spring once lay and now lies bound in concrete underground, a very odd group of Abyssals now stands. Then her jaw drops at the sight she sees, practically just outside her front door. Entering the lobby of her apartment building, Jin pauses in the middle of retrieving her mail from her post box. Cue utterly confused dragon as screaming destroyer avatars flee in every direction.Īlternately, some of the Abyssals most likely to actually try and worship her, would probably be the more out there ones like the Re-Classes. A few of the older new generation Abyssal who have never seen her or the reports of her from her worst, might even wonder if the more extreme stories about her more sadistic early days of the war were just made up/exaggerated, of if there even is a "corrupted mizuchi" at all.Īlthough, that now brings to mind the young destroyers all around at Harry's in Yokosuka, daring one another to do things like say "mizuchi" five time in front of a mirror and trying to contact her via a Ouija board.Īnd then Jin turns up at the front door to pick up Shiromizu for the day.
The younger/newer/post-stalemate Abyssals likely mostly think she's a Boogey(wo)man of some kind. The less older ones and odder sorts who heard things second hand might want to worship her. Click to shrink.The older ones who personally survived are all terrified of her.
