Seeing as how his powers didn't seem to work, he clawed at the large scab where his arm used to be, drawing blood. He then used the blood to draw the seal of Slaanesh on the floor. "Father, I pray to thee not as thyne son but as a man in need. Athena, foe of friend Aphrodite, has robbed her human daughter of emotion, of sensation. I tried to rectify the situation, but Athena has filled her head with her own power. Mayhap you have the power to grant her emotion, even in the lightest, for such travesty is unjust." His voice filled the room.
HER PLIGHT HAS STIRRED MY HEART. I DOES THIS NOT FOR YOU, BUT FOR HER. ATHENA HAS DONE HER WORK WELL, AS IS TO BE EXPECTED. THERE IS BUT ROOM FOR ONLY ONE EMOTION. ATHENA IS WISE, AND HAS GIVEN HER KNOWLEDGE OF ALL FACTS AND FIGURES. BUT BY ROBBING HER OF EMOTION, THERE IS NOW THAT ONE THING WHICH SHE CANNOT TRULY KNOW, HOW TO FEEL. THAT SPACE LEAVES A SMALL EMPTYNESS, IN WHICH I CAN BUT FIT ONE EMOTION. YOU MAY SPEAK AMONGST YOURSELVES ON THE MATTER, BUT ULTIMATELY IT IS HER CHOICE TO MAKE. BROOKE! THINK OF THAT WHICH YOU MISS THE MOST.
Mobius spoke up. "It has taken the last of my life-force to summon him here, so my opinion should be heard. Brooke must know the feeling of defiance, as a way to impede in her mother's plans and ultimately regain her emotion. I have not much time, only until Father has done what he can. Speak up!"

"There is no need for such foolish things." The voice sounded through the room like a glass bell in silence.
Justin pleaded, "Mobius, stay longer, still. I offer my anything. It was I who allowed this to happen and it is I who shall suffer for it. Please, sir, allow me this one favour."
Brooke stood, abruptly, and walked up to the humbled Mobius. She extended a hand, as to caress his face, but in a jolt, it became a sharp strike. The contact came quickly in a resounding sound.
"My mother finally gave me something and now you wish to take it." Brooke's face remained emotionless. "I will not allow it."

"Hey!"
Elsa stepped forward as Brooke hit Mobius, glaring angrily at her.
"He's wounded!"

[No worries, lovie!]
Brooke retreated, indifferent, to the bed, once more.
Justin leapt to Mobius's side and apologized profusely, once more asking that he could be granted with the honor of replenishing the man's life.
"Justice is dead, already," he said. "There is no longer a need for me to be here."
He pleaded.
"Please, I will not suffer as you may. Let me do it."
Brooke coughed and stared into each of them blankly.
"I must resolve a conflict."

"Conflict....?"
She glanced desperately at the others, trying to find some clue about the situation. "What's wrong with her?"

[I'm going to answer your question here rather than in the role-play form, because Mobius sort of explained it already...
Athena had Brooke's emotions taken away so that she would have a capacity for more knowledge and so that Athena could protect her daughter from the suffering that so many of the great champions endured because of love, lust, and so-on.
Voila!]

(Hmm....I kind of got that already but I missed the part where Mobius explained it to me so I didn't want to act too certain about it)

Mobius smiled. "Ah, there is still some capacity for emotion, isn't there? You have some sense of pride which allows you to defend your mother. But think, with your newfound logic for awhile. Is this what Brooke really would have wanted? To become nothing more than a robot to serve the whims of others without question? Athena gave you something, yes, but just because something is given doesn't mean it is of pure intent. You have that spark of defiance already, refusing to recieve another for your own beliefs. My suggestion would offer you your humanity back, for the most part. As for the sacrifice of my life, the ritual is complete. My life is to end as soon as Father invokes is power. And due to the fact that he was summoned here, he is bound by spectral law to use his power in some fashion, even if you refuse our noble gift. Look at the ground. All my blood has been spilt. Look at my chest. Though I speak, I do not breathe. If you were to check my pulse you'd find none. I may be doomed to the Warp, but if I can stand up for my ideals before I go, it shall be most worth it." Mobius was quite pale, and he was indeed not breathing.

Justin's blank eyes brimmed with tears. "This is my fault."
"No." Brooke surprised all of them with her answer.
"The fault is mine. I am no longer so blind to it.
"I was jealous, foolish, spiteful..." The words seemed unnatural as they rang, dully from her lips. [Rang dully? Oi...]
"Brooke, please," Justin pleaded, "don't let him do this."
"He can be healed." Brooke's artificial tone was unsympathizing.
[I'm not really sure where to go from here, so I'll just leave off, I suppose..]

"Fine. You are too blind to choose, so I'll choose for you. Father, in my wisdom, I have found the great compensator of her lost emotions. Please Father... Grant her... regretfulness..."
"THAT IS AN UNUSUAL GIFT, BUT I CAN SEE HOW YOU INTEND THAT TO WORK. IF SHE WILL NOT DEFY ATHENA WITH ANGER, SHE WILL PLEA WITH SORROW AND BE A THORN IN ATHENA'S SIDE. TO HAVE BESTED A GOD OF WISDOM AND UPHELD MY IDEALS VALIANTLY, YOU SHALL RETURN TO THIS WORLD IN THE EXPANSE OF THREE DAYS, IN A NEW FORM. UNTIL THEN, YOU SHALL ATONE FOR YOUR SINS IN THE WARP. I SHALL GRANT THE REQUEST."
The room filled with a nauseating purple light. Mobius started to disintegrate slowly, looking like he was burning with violet flames. Brooke started to glow, and a great, vibrant humming sound emanated from her core. Another voice was heard. It was female. "FOR THE CHANCE TO SPITE ATHENA, I SHALL AID THEE." Brooke started to glow brighter, andthe humming intensified. Then, when the last of Mobius was burned away, the room returned to normal, and Brooke no longer hummed or glowed. The Mark of Slaanesh was now burned into the floor, and all the blood was gone.
(I believe I shall leave off. Bellabie, I believe this may be an interesting situation to start from. Enjoy! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!)

[A female voice? I can guess who that is... heart ]
Brooke fell dramatically on the bed. Justin knelt and touched the symbol branded in the hotel's carpet.
The girl sighed from the bed. "Justin?"
"Brooke!" Justin stood and approached her. "Gods, Brooke, are you--" He considered his words. "... alright?"
The girl began to weep. She curled up tightly and whispered apologies through her sobs. "I a-am so s-sorry..." She trembled.
Justin embraced the child. "Shh, don't cry, please." We just wanted to return happiness. Please, make not Mobius's death have been in vain.

[No description of "The Warp" for us?]
[Also, is Aphrodite goddess of love or lust?]

(Technically, Aphrodite is both. The goddess of love of all kinds, expressed in all ways. As for the Warp, no mortal could describe it in any language but senseless gibbering. Insanity? Such a word is an understatement, and to even say that is an understatement. Your mind wouldn't snap in there; it would shatter into sub-atomic dust then divide even further, causing your mind to be engulfed in the flames of mental and spiritual atomic radiation, until you emerged as a twisted, distorted creature whose logic and mannerisms, as well as shape, is chaotic. But if you require some description, I'll do my best...)
Mobius was in a world where the very air seemed aflame. He was nude before his father, who towered like the god he was. Chains and ghostly hands rose up from the scorched earth beneath him, holding him in place. Slaanesh spoke. "THERE IS A GREATER EVIL THAN I HEADING TOWARD EARTH. I SENSE NOT WHO IT IS, OR WHAT FOR THAT MATTER, BUT YOU NEED TO BE READY. YOU SHALL BE RE-MADE, IN MY IMAGE, MORE THAN MORTAL FLESH. YOU SHALL BECOME A DEMON. AN INCUBUS, TO BE EXACT. THE RECONFIGURATION OF YOUR FLESH WILL BE AN INTENSE PROCESS, AND YOUR MIND SHALL BE ALTERED TO SUIT YOUR NEW POWER. NOTHING SHALL BE TAKEN AWAY, BUT YOU MAY OR MAY NOT BE ABLE TO HANDLE THAT MUCH PAIN. THAT IS NOT FOR ME TO WORRY ABOUT..."
(Okay, now you have a little information. I shall give a little more as time continues to pass. Can't have the whole process given away at once, now can I?)
