Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I doubt that will happen so easily... Knight and his brightly coloured troupe seem determined alongside Azana and Stella's resolve... Maybe..." He grew silent as he thought, gaze flicking back and forth.

As Kageko half-listened to everything, she began a thorough analysis of the prophecy:

<"Angels conspire the death of their own,"
Is that referring to us? Are the inhabitants of the inn the "Angels"? If so, then "death of their own" refers to Angeles. At the moment, she's the only person that anyone in the inn is serious about killing, but she's referred to as one of the angels. If everything I've thought of is correct, than that means Angeles is still on our side. She hasn't really gone to the vampires. However, could "Angels" also refer to Angeles? Her name does have that word in it, but that wouldn't make sense. She can't handle the light or holy objects. Plus, wouldn't "Angel" work better than "Angels" if that word did involve Angeles?

<"Drawing all in the tangled web."
What does "the tangled web" refer to? Arachne's web? A web of stories, maybe even lies? A trap? If we take into account that the prophecy is about Angeles and us, then Arachne has no place in it, leaving only the story/lie theory and the trap theory. First of all, who is the one leading everyone into the web? The angels, or the one that's being hunted? Wait a minute, hunted. That must mean that Angeles isn't the one attacking, we are. We're the villains here, not her…. Could that mean that the Macpere, Gren, and everyone else, maybe even me, are the ones drawing her into a web? No, we haven't set up any traps or told any lies. Not that I know of. If Angeles really is the one that is hunted, while we feel as if she was the hunter, then maybe she's the one who drew the web, the web of lies. She hasn't set up any traps, other than traps to fool us. However, the motive for fooling us into killing her are still unknown….

<"Strggle and tension, conflicting roles"
"Struggle and tension"? The most apparent references it the tension in the inn currently. The "conflicting roles" probably refers to those of us who do not wish to kill Angeles due to our continuing belief in our "roles" as her friend but have to kill her due to our "roles" as something else, be it son or agent or… secret-keeper. Sosol, I've felt the most tension from Sosol out of everyone. Macpere and Gren have had tension, along with Azana, but none of it is as high as Sosol's every now and then.

<"pull at strings and shift the threads."
Our "conflicting roles", our conflicting wants, "pull at strings and shift the threads". Could the "strings" and "threads" refer to the web? If it's true, then the hesitation to kill Angeles is ruining the web. Further proof that Angeles wants to be killed… wait. I'm being too optimistic. What if Angeles wants to not be killed and the other role that makes us want to kill her is ruining her plans? No, Angeles knows. If her plans were being ruined, then she would have attacked us.

<"Alas, fate is sealed, the damage done"
Is this referring to the damage from the web or to the web? Angeles wants us to kill her, the amount of information pointing in that direction is massive compared to the other side. If the damage is to the web, then Angeles won't die. If the damage is from it, then Angeles will die…. No! How can fate be determined so easily?! Especially the fate of a life?! I won't believe it!>

Instantly, the paper with Macpere's name on it was shredded in Kageko's right hand. At the thought of the last line and it's possible implications, the girl's eyes grew cold. She absolutely hated it whenever words like "fate is sealed" were used. It made it seem as if everything was lost, as if there was nothing someone could do. She hated that feeling, despised it, especially when it was used to describe something as important as a life. Always, something was possible.

Either way, she hated fatalistic ideas with a passion, an emotion that was portrayed in the destruction of whatever was close at hand, specifically her right hand. The shredding of the paper had nothing personal on Eli, it was simply coincidence. However, with this build-up of negative emotions, Kageko doubted that she would be able to control it after shredding just a single piece of paper. After muttering a simple sorry, the girl immediately left the inn and headed out.

Watching Kageko pass by after shredding the paper, he looked back to MacPere. "Well, I don't know about that..." he said with a crooked grin. "There are all of the things I'm sure you plan to do to me too."

"Well, of course, but they all centred around you..." He sighed at took a seat at his usual table, rubbing both hands over his face.

"Please... Anything shall do~" He sighed once more and sank his head to rest on the table, despondent.

Hearing the kitchen door open and promptly close, MacPere looked back up and dug out his phone, scrolling through planning ideas. Traditional with some spice... That left a lot of room to grow; a little too much, thinking about it.

"No use..." He murmured to himself, discarding everything he had written down with a frown of concentration. Ha, most ideas were typical, overdone and corny... None of which were worthy of Gren's honour. Bah, he'd brainstorm later...

Casually placing his phone back in his pocket, MacPere smiled and gave humble thanks, taking up a biscuit and biting a corner. "Mm, lovely..."
