Mama Knows Best
Who: Lailah and YOU
Broadcast: Video; Fleetwide
Action: Marsiva's Hospitality Deck
When: 9/7, after that bull ship went down
[When Lailah wakes up to strange and extremely unfamiliar surroundings, she feels disoriented and confused about everything. However, those feelings take an immediate backseat as she bolts upright with a gasp, hand clutching at her heart. She looks sick and in pain. Her eyes dart around the room frantically as she scrambles to stand up from the cot.
She knows this feeling. She’s sensed it so many times in the people around her, and on a handful of occasions from her own former Shepherds. Paradoxically, this is a sensation that’s entirely new, too. Someone she never in her wildest nightmares thinks she’d ever feel it from....]
Sorey…?
[Her words are a horrified whisper. Lailah feels that she has a pact with Sorey again, a Shepherd and dear friend she hasn’t seen in a long, long time, now. She’s not sure how, but the fire seraph isn’t going to question it for the time being. What’s more important is that she’s sensing it from both Sorey and...Mikleo, but she can’t be certain. Lailah’s sure that one of her Sub Lords has been corrupted, though, and if it’s Mikleo, then...she wonders which one fell first.
Ultimately, it’s not important.
The fire seraph runs out of the room. She sprints down the hall, looking in every door to see if she can find Sorey. He needs her, right now. Lailah’s heels are a constant click-click against the floor as she barely slows down in her search. She goes over every room she can access twice, trying to make sure she hasn’t missed him. Eventually, Lailah returns to her room, scared and worried but not for herself. Her attention is totally on Sorey and what she can only assume is Mikleo. If one falls, then the other will surely follow or die trying in the attempt to help the other.
Then, Lailah notices that there’s some kind of strange device in the room. It might be nothing, but...there’s a chance, however small, that it might be something used to communicate with other people. Even if it’s not, even if nobody will be able to see or hear her, Lailah has to try. She needs to do everything she can for two people who are precious and irreplaceable to her.]
Please, does anyone know where Sorey is?! He has brown hair, green eyes, and wears feather earrings! He’s in trouble and I need to get to him as soon as possible!
[And now she waits. Silent. Praying. Praying to Maotelus and the other Four Lords to please please please keep him safe, keep him able to be purified. Lailah doesn’t want to lose Sorey to malevolence, too. He doesn’t deserve that fate. He doesn’t deserve to die in some unfamiliar world. Neither does Mikleo, though the fire searph fears that it’s too late for the younger seraph. She prays that the other Sub Lords are also safe and well, not wanting to lose them, either.
Please, please, they deserve a kinder fate than this.]
{OOC: please note that she probably won't be seen/heard by normal humans. any questions about it, though, pls PM me!}

[But regardless of how badly Allen wanted to find Sorey and Mikleo, he was still human. So that meant when Lailah's call patches through- he was just eating some instant noodles. He didn't recognize the voice, she was yelling and he wasn't expecting it, so considered him startled as he nearly drops his cup of noodles]
Eh?! Who are you!?
Video;
My name is Lailah. I apologize for my rudeness, but I have to find Sorey quickly!
[Honestly, she'd ask how Allen can perceive her, but she doesn't have the time for it. However, if he can see Lailah, then that means he can see Mikleo and the other seraphim.]
Video;
[That name sounds familiar, but it doesn't immediately ring a bell. Must be someone Mikleo or Sorey mentioned once or twice]
I'm sorry, I don't know where he is. I've been looking for him myself.
Video;
What's happened? [She hesitates but decides to give Allen more details. She's putting some of her trust in him.] I can sense that Sorey and one of the seraphim in a pact with me have been corrupted, but I don't know how any of this has happened.
Video; 1/2
[He doesn't even need to guess who what Seraphim could be. It could only be one]
Video;
I don't know all the details. Mikleo called me several hours ago, saying that Sorey's been corrupted. He wanted to find him and try to quell Sorey's malevolence, but asked if I could help if that failed.
He was supposed to tell me when he found him, but...I haven't heard from him since.
[He looks down]
I'm sorry.
Video;
I see. ...Then, all things considered, I would guess that Mikleo did find him.
[And, of course, followed Sorey into the dark. She feels like she's been punched in the stomach, but she refuses to let her emotions rule her. Now isn't the time for that. Only when Sorey is safe will she let herself go.]
Please, don't be sorry. [Lailah hesitates.] If it's not selfish of me, then may I please also request that you do what you can for them?
[If it means the death of the water seraph...but she thinks it's better for Mikleo in that way. It'll free him from a personal Hell, and asking otherwise is only being selfish.]
Video;
[He sighs and shakes his head, in sadness, in regret. Mikleo...why didn't you wait for him?]
I'm an Exorcist. There's differences, but to put it simply, my powers work similar to a Shepherd. If we're lucky, the similarities will be enough that I might be able to purify Sorey.
Video;
If your powers can purify corruption, then I would imagine that it could do the same for malevolence. At its core, malevolence is a spiritual corruption. As long as Sorey hasn't fallen so deeply into it....
[The fire seraph shakes her head. She doesn't think that he has. At least, she doesn't think it's happened yet. Lailah has to have faith that at least one of her friends can be saved.]
If we want to be safe, then bring Sorey to me after the purification. I'll be able to sense if there's any residual malevolence.
[Lailah winces and decides it might not hurt to sit down. She finds a chair and does so. This pact will corrupt her, too, if she doesn't sever it before it gets to that point. For now, though, Lailah wishes to keep it for as long as she can. Sorey won't sense her presence, but she doesn't want him to be alone in this.]
Video;
[He gives a nod. He was about to ask another question, before he sees her wince and sit down]
- Hey, are you alright?
Video;
[Lailah hesitates at the question, but she's not surprised that he asks. After a moment of thinking about the best words to use, the fire seraph gives an answer.]
It's Sorey's malevolence. Through our pact, he becomes my vessel and his purity serves to shield me against outside corruption. However...
[She sighs.]
I'll need to sever the pact with him or else you'll have to worry about more than just Mikleo. I can hold on for a few days before I get to that point, at least.
[Until then, she's going to be sick and in pain.]
Video;
[Poor Lailah. Just arriving and already dealing with this...he feels so bad for her]
I see...please be careful, okay? I'll do everything I can to find him before you have to reach that point.
Video;
Thank you, but don't worry as much about me. You'll need to be focused when you confront them.
[She doesn't want anyone else to have to die because of this.]
By the way, what's your name?
Video;
[He offers her a smile]
I'm Allen Walker. Nice to meet you despite the circumstances, Lailah.
Video;
Likewise, Allen. If you have any questions for me, I'd be happy to answer them.
[...Within reason. Since there are some that she can't answer for...uh...reasons.]
Video;
Alright...are you able to tell how Mikleo is? Is he... [Well, a dragon]
Video;
I believe that with the amount of malevolence from Sorey, and judging by the strength of Mikleo's as well, he would most likely be a dragon right now. If any seraph had been in Sorey's domain when it completely took him, then...they, too, would've met the same fate.
Video; 1/2
Mikleo....
[He's learned enough to know what becoming a dragon means. Even if he could purify Sorey, he knows even his Innocence couldn't purify an entire dragon worth of malevolence. Not without destroying Mikleo in the process.]
[ His chest hurts, he sniffs as his eyes water up some. It wasn't supposed to go this way. None of this was supposed to happen. ]
...You idiot. I thought you were supposed to be the smart one. How's Sorey going to feel when he's back and you're not?
Video;
...What about the other Seraphim? You said one was corrupted- does that mean Dezel's still alright?
[And that other guy. Who the eff is Zaveid?]
Video;
Then she jolts when he says 'Dezel.']
Dezel? He's here?
[—He's asked a question, though. Lailah closes her eyes for a moment before opening them again.]
I can't sense a pact with him. However, I can sense that Zaveid hasn't fallen.
Video; 1/3
Yeah, he's here. He 's a cook at Crowley's snobby bar-
Video; 2/3
Video; 3/3
Are you saying that creepy shirtless man is a Seraph too?!
Video;
Yes, he is. He's one of the oldest seraphim I know, and so has seen much good and bad. I don't believe he'll fall easily, but....
[Eizen comes to mind, and she feels horrible about it. Lailah's sure that Dezel isn't in a better emotional state, either.]
Video;
[Jeez what is his life...but even if he finds Zaveid creepy, it's not like he wants him to die]
...Right...
I'll keep an eye out for both of them.
