The bells of the church rang around the city of Animus. Deep within the church, Veronica played the ancient song of the call from the organ. She needed to see who among the residents were still in town. All she encountered in her time wandering was Phobia. At times, she could have sworn she heard voices; faint little whispers from voices she remembered.
Veronica motioned away from the organ as it continued playing behind her. She rose from the catacombs and opened the doors to the church. For the first time, in a long time, Veronica felt the sharp brightness of the sun. It had felt so good.
Today, was a new dawn in the time of Animus.
This PBP is open to all. While not an official chapter, its a start to something new. All residents are encouraged to rp.

"Asri, why do you insist on going to the church?" asked Syl.
Asri smiled as Syl clung onto his arm. It was in a long flowing red outfit that Kiel had picked out for it during its travels. It was seemingly asian styled, although it was adorned with various runic designs not of that culture. Kiel had been very busy as of late... Azrael had loaded it with assignments... Asri smiled at that as that meant that he could watched over Syl without Kiel constantly picking on him.
"Churches are holy places," explained Asri "while they are meaningless in my religion, that doesn't mean that they are worth something to other people."
"Why do people believe in stuff like that?"
"Syl, if I didn't believe in Luisine's power, I would never have been chosen as an angel of Luisine. I owe much to Iorai for that. I gave my life to save her, and this was my reward."
Syl then ran ahead, pulling Asri along, throught he church's courtyard.
"This is so depressing, Asri! Come on! Let's play here!"
"Syl! Please!" yelled Asri. "Don't run that outfit! Kiel told me that's worth a lot!"
"Since when does Kiel pay for anything?" laughed Syl, as it slipped away from Asri and began fooling around on the tree, "It's always nice when it gives me gifts on my birthday."
"SYL!" yelled Asri, "Please be careful! I don't want you getting in trouble again."
Syl stuck out its tongue.
"Meh, if you want me to do math homework, then I'll barf my lunch on you!"

Veronica, adorned in the Priestess' robes, stepped out of the church and motioned towards the courtyard, to where she had heard the sound of a familiar friend's frolic.
In the distance, coming close, Veronica saw Syl and Asri. Approaching them, she smiled and said, "Good morning, friends.".

Tommy walked down the road, violently swinging his arms around as he shouted out curses, threats and most of all slurs to himself. Somewhere on his journey to the church Tommy had lost most of his clothes, believing that each article of clothing was plotting against him and was just waiting for its time to strike and kill Tommy. So at first Tommy would tear off the clothing and attempt to eat it, but after his hat, shirt, jacket he simply couldn't manage to eat his jeans, shoes or socks if one was to follow Tommy's trail they would find chewed up half digested bits of clothing here and there from he was forced to throw them back up. Soon enough Tommy was only wearing his boxer shorts.
Just as he was about to acuse his boxers of conspiring against him and kill him using various daggers and snakes Tommy came saw the church in the distance. A small group of people there, most likely the residents. If not, Tommy would find himself a more easily digestible meal. In an even paced jog Tommy made his way up to the church.

Veronica turned away for a moment and in the distance she saw Tommy towards them. She had forgive Tommy for his role on what had happened months ago. Now was the time for change.
"Hello stranger.", Veronica said to him. "I have not seen you in awhile.".

It was Veronica.
"Stranger?!" Tommy screeched, "Afterall we've been through? C'mon don't tell me you don't remember our time when we were in the apartment, with Arqus, you, me..." Tommy licked his lips, "I sure as hell remember how you threatened me, not for the last time either." Tommy laughed hearty. "But all is forgiven, I guess. So why the hell.." Tommy clapped a hand over his mouth, "That's not blasphemey is it? Oh well who keeps track these days. Why are you here anyway?"

"No its not, Tommy.", Veronica said to him as she lit a cigarette and took a seat on the church steps before him. "I am here to gather whoever in the city's left after what had happened. We can't be separated like this, not any more. There's something big I have to tell you all.".

"Can you tell me first?" Tommy asked. Seeing Veronica light up a cigarette Tommy gestured to ask for one.

A stick floated from the pack of Marlboro's, flew into Tommy's lips and with a point, Veronica lit Tommy's cigarette.
"You're welcome.", Veronica smiled.
Taking a drag, Veronica exhaled and said, "I can't tell you... Yet. I would rather to have everyone here before I say anything.".

"Can't you hear the organ playing inside?", Veronica asked him. "I made sure it was loud enough for the entire city to hear it.".

Asri's smile turned into a cold scowl as he looked the clown. They had met a few times before, and each of them was nothing pleasant. Asri hated clowns, and he percieved this one as being a threat to Syl. He had to protect it!
"You..." he hissed, taking a defensive stance, "I remember you, Tyrant..."
Syl instantly dropped down from the tree and hid behind Asri as the clown approached, clinging to Asri tightly. It didn't say anything; it just did whatever it could to avoid facing the clown. It didn't like him, it was sure that it wasn't a good idea to get too close.

Veronica turned her head at the sight of Syl and Asri. She could tell Asri wasn't taken by Tommy's strange charms. She had to admit it, he wasn't the most pleasant thing in the world, but he did have his charms.
Veronica stepped away from Asri and Tommy and motioned over to Syl. Smiling, she said, "Hello there, little one.".

Syl recoiled slightly from Veronica, clinging to Asri tighter. It shut its eyes, making a low, whimpering sound.
"Don't let him near me..." it said, "Please miss Veronica... I don't want to fight..."
It remembered when it had to switch to its other self to save Kure, and that wasn't something it wished to repeat. Syl was a pacifist and it didn't want to go back on that. It had to stay safe for Kiel's sake. If Kiel realized that it was dead, who knew what horrors awaited Animus and the residents that lived there?

Veronica extended her hand to Syl and said, "I don't fear him... I never have. Granted, he did what he did, but its done now. There's nothing to be afraid of. You know I am always here to protect you, right?".
