Death’s expression darkened. He knew this matter was serious, considering that it was a matter of Life and Death. Literally. “What else do we know?”
One-On-One (OPEN)
Love turned to Death, “We think someone might have purposely tilted them.” Life gasped, unable to hide her surprise. This couldn’t be happening, the mortals were just recovering from other issues and they were still facing their own problems.
(I will try to post again in about and hour and a half. I can’t rn tho.)
“Okay. What is the council’s decision? Shall Life and I engage the Plan, as we did the last time?” Death could only focus on what needed to be done to set things right on Earth. He knew that the scales directly interacted with him and Life, and vice versa. This was their responsibility.
(Bump. Also, Idk what the plan is lol)
(Yeah lol,it’s okay I get it. I’m super busy, too.)
(Hey, just checking in)
(Right, so, I have school until 3:30 PM EST and then I’ll be able to post at around 4 and then I should be more active since we’re almost done our essays and stuff)
(Okay, Great! I know school is always in the way, and I’m not mad or anything. Take all the time you need. School more important than this Rp)
“Since it is believed that someone has purposely tilted them you may have to edit or change the Plan a bit. Back here we will be trying to find out who did, If a god did it or a mortal has some how influenced a change in the Scales.” Love said. Life shook her head and looked down. This shouldn’t be happening, She thought. Why now? Why ever? Whatever had happened, she was determined to fix it.
Death sighed. “What should Life and I do?”
“You should keep a keen eye on the mortals and attend to as many problems as possible that may have been influenced by the Scales. If you can, you should also look out for any mortal or god, demigod even that may have broken in to the Room,” Love said. A scream could be heard from the map room, followed by the sound of a blowtorch being turned on. The map room was a map of the entire mortal world, which you could zoom in on and had the current weather etc. all around the globe. Life rushed into the room, the map had been zoomed in on a forest which now was ablaze. “No more wasting time, Life, Death. Do your best and we’ll do ours.”
Death nodded briskly. He turned to Life, “Let’s go.”
The fires were blazing strongly and there was enough wind to keep them alive. “We need to make sure there isn’t anyone inside and get them out of there if there is, I’ll also look to see what we can do for the animals. We’ll need to get the fire out as well.” Life stated and ran off into the blaze.
“I’ll look for any injured.” Death replied, heading out to look for anything close to death.
So far, Life has not found anyone, which, she supposed could be a good thing. Why? She asked herself over and over. Why would someone do this? Why now? Why ever? Because of this unknown entity the entire world was going to end and Death and herself would have to fix and save it.
Death found a few wounded animals, but no people. He figured that meant that no one was dead or dying; he would know. He set out to find Life after tending to the animals.
She picked up a few baby ravens off the ground. Their parents had most likely fled, the nest was still burning up. “You poor things.” She whispered to them and ran off to get them out of the flaming woods.
Death saw just a flash of blue hair as he searched through the burning foliage. He sprinted after it, yet it almost seemed to purposefully avoid his vicinity. He called out for Life, feeling his voice get lost in the crackling of trees and the roar of the fire.
She turned sharply on her heel, thinking she heard someone call for her. “Death?!” She shouted. She looked around, but did not see him. Life looked down at the birds in her hands. “You’ll be alright.” She whispered.
Death continued to walk, calling out her name. He thought he heard her talking. He took a few steps more, catching sight of her brilliant blue hair as she nestled little birds in her arms. “Oh thank Luck.” He breathed so quiet only he could hear. “Are you all right?”
She nodded. “I found these little guys further on in the woods. Parents had probably fled and the nest was burnt, so I picked them up and started to get them out of here. We need to get the fire out quickly, I believe we have helped anyone or thing that needed to be.” She said and continued her run, not waiting for Death.
Death took a moment to process that before running after her, trying to match her pace. Her hair billowed behind her, twinkling and shining in such contrast to the burning wreckage all around them. He knew there were more important matters at hand, but he couldn’t help but notice her radiance.
“What-“ She paused to take a breath. “-do you think we should do to put the fire out? We . . . need something to get water, to put it out.” She stumbled out of the woods and slowed to a stop. The birds looked unharmed, thankfully, but she would need to check them properly, later.
Only Death’s panting could be heard while he thought. “All I can think of is either—stealing a plane or asking—our favorite water god/goddess to give us a hand.” He suggested.
(I should be heading off to bed now, Now that I have most of the large projects finished and I’m about to go on vacation, I should be more active)
“Let’s try the second option first, because I don’t . . . know where we’d steal a plane from.” She sat down on the grass and placed the birds down gently. Life sighed and released some of the tension from her body. You still have more to do Life, You need to get up now.
Death agreed, “Who do you think is most available to help?”
(Cool. There’s no pressure, or anything tho.)
(I’m officially back from vacation)
“I don’t know! I haven’t spoken to a lot of people for a long time.” Life said, clenching her fist in frustration.
(Was it good?)
Death touched her arm, trying to be a reassuring force, “It’s okay. I believe Ms. Rain Goddess owes me a little favor. I will ask her.” He stepped aside, looking up at the sky. He closed his eyes, thinking deeply about connecting to Rain. A few moments later, the skies darkened and it began to pour. He opened his eyes. It was only a matter of seconds before he and Life were completely drenched.
