Final Chapter: Love's Like Woes
"Since you're getting us out of here, do show us a way, 'Your Majesty.'"
"
So, Theresa, what direction should we go from here?"
"Teresa, I don't want to overload you with questions, which you seem to be getting plenty of right now, but do you think we should make some sort of buddy system so that an incident is less likely to happen? Safety in numbers and all that?"
"Can all of you please be quiet for just a moment?" Teresa muttered, rubbing her temples quietly with clear frustration. Taking a deep breath, she frowned slightly, looking at the group warily and beginning to address each of their questions, respectively.
"That's a good idea in theory, Mason... But I don't think that's ideal. We split up, or put people too close to each other alone? It's giving a clear, open path for more death. And I damn well ain't having that.," she spoke, steadily, to the male.
"...That said, you can put the light away. That kid over there might be disrespectful, but she hasn't done any harm yet," she muttered, glancing at Krul with a slightly less than fond expression.
"I would never~" Krul purred, merely grinning almost daringly at Mason despite his obvious, silent threatening of her. The queen was well aware she could easily take him on, should the boy step out of line. Despite this being rather offputting, Teresa only gave the girl a brief look before carrying on in what she had to say.
"...Anyways, all of that aside, this isn't the time to stand around and argue about what to do. We need to get out of this damn mansion, and we're going to do just that," she spoke with certainty and determination, glancing around at the rather rag-tag group she found herself in the company of before letting out a sigh, focusing her sights in on one in particular with visible exasperation.
"Josh, do you think you can make us a portal? I can't seem to form one, but maybe--"
Whatever she had been about to say was lost to the wind, drowned out by a horrible, loud, screechy.... Guitar solo?
"What the h--"
It was next to impossible to hear what was uttered, but one could guess fairly well. Regardless, it was followed by a fit of coughs, the odd fog from before suddenly intensifying to a point where it was almost suffocating, managing to drown out even the light provided by Teresa's wings. And even as the fog came, the solo continued, a booming voice soon coming to accompany it as a figure invisibly descended from above.
"Now presenting..."
"G.O.----"
"Wait... Love God? Is that you???" Mabel interrupted, squinting through the fog and trying to wave it away in attempt to better make out the figure as he landed. She seemed to have trouble deciding on whether it truly was who she suspected or not, though whether this was due to it being so foggy or because something had happened that made his appearance unlikely was... Hard to discern. But as the fog suddenly cleared, the latter seemed more likely.
"Shut up! It's G.O.D now!" the man, his figure now clear for all to see with the lack of the fog's presence, bellowed with obvious anger.
"Man, all these years, you still have no respect. You of all people should know I don't have that title anymore! After all, you're the one that destroyed it! Or do you not remember stealing my stuff and ruining my career?" he asked, bristling.
Dumbstruck and still dazed from the entire experience, Mabel looked appalled, frowning deeply.
"What the heck, man? That was, like, almost seven years ago! And I said I was sorry!" she replied straightforwardly. She had been a misled kid at the time who just wanted to help a heartbroken boy. Was it really that big of a deal--
"...Wait," she muttered, arms dropping to her sides and eyes slowly widening with horror as she gawked at the man.
"You aren't the one behind this, are you?" she inquired, breathlessly, visibly tensing up.
"Tch, as dense as ever. Who else could it have been?" the man replied, briefly donning a grin.
"You really think this is something anyone but one from the heavens themselves could pull off?" he asked proudly, only to glare upon hearing Mabel utter something about Kofuku being a god as well.
"You're dumber than I thought if you think that bimbo could pull off something as great as this.... Or a v-neck! BAM!" the alleged god proclaimed, suddenly gesturing to his choice of shirt.
"That doesn't explain anything! Why are you-- Ah!"
Before she could finish forming her words, Mabel was sent tumbling backwards by a bright blast of light, left sprawled across the floor in a heap. This was met with laughter from the alleged 'love god', as she had called him, who blew on his finger as though it were a gun.
"Like it? Made a little deal with an old friend of yours and I picked up a few new tricks. And now, you and all your little friends here are gonna pay! MATCH MADE... WITH REVENGE! " As though this weren't bad enough, it seemed that in the midst of the chaos, Niles had been freed. One could only hope he wouldn't side with the new arrival.
"...Great, another psychopath," Teresa muttered under her breath, briefly gritting her teeth and trying to put her concern for the fallen young woman aside for the moment.
"Everyone who can't fight, get the hell back and look out! Everyone else, just... be careful. Something isn't right with this guy!"
Well, looked like it was fight or flight time. And there wasn't exactly much room for flight.
