Chaos is known as the being that never became a star. It is everywhere and yet nowhere at the same time.
Neither good nor evil, the ultimate expression of nothingness. The antithesis of the cosmos, creation itself.
Although Chaos claims to be the very state of existence from which the first entities appeared, it cannot form into the entity it wants most.
So it has been cursed to stay in the form of a dark and shapeless void. Floating between existence and nonexistence.
Longingly watching as stars are constantly born and lives are lived. The seeds of malice had been planted, flourished and transformed Chaos into the purest form of evil.
Dita couldn't think of a better place to get stranded except maybe back home. There was a freak blizzard outside and travel of any kind was highly discouraged. But that was fine. Where she was now, she had everything she could have wanted while being unable to do any of her usual outdoor training. It's just what you'd expect from a gym affiliated with St. Elbandia. The facilities were all top class. Though what she really cared about most there at the moment was the nice heating system. That warmth was just right.
She wasn't alone. There were quite a few of other people stranded there too. They were the unlucky folk who happened to turn up earlier the day before when the blizzard hit and now they were all stuck. Even Dita just stopped by from her usual run and was forced to take shelter when the snow began to fall. She had been in here for a little over a day now. But even so the snowstorm showed no signs of stopping. The news said so too.
Once in a while when she was taking a break, she would stare outside at the winter wonderland. Not that there was much to see. The heavy blizzard rendered visibility next to zero. Well she wasn't really expecting to see anyone or anything moving outside in this weather. That would be crazy. And yet that was exactly what she was seeing when she glanced out at the window just a little passed lunchtime on day two.
She nearly dropped her protein shake. There was someone or something out there in the snow. She walked closer to the window and wiped the fog off the glass with her sleeve to get a better look.
[attr="class","nologicpost1"] Matha's son had forgotten his phone today, something that was rather unusual for a teenager in the 21st century. Out of all the days, for such an accident to happen, it had to be during this snow storm. She was naturally worried about her son and was waiting for him when Julius had and Oscar had come back from their rather...eventful trip. The prosecutor found himself making the offer of going to the school to check up on the boy. It would allow him to investigate this strange weather phenomenon more and he would hopefully be able to help Martha as well. The woman had thanked him before giving him a lot of scarves and gloves to wear.[break][break]
Julius had also changed his attire wearing four layers and a rather thick coat for the sudden weather before heading out. Due to the storm, more public transportations were closed. Fortunately, the subway was underground and therefore, Julius was able to take it and head over to the 5th arrondissement which certainly helped cut the distance.[break][break]
The magus made it to the goat not allowing himself to take a break, not when it was only going to make things worse. However...he almost wished he had taken a cup of hot chocolate back in the apartment or even at the subway before he left. Or even a heating pack...curse his lack of foresight. The storm was also making it hard to see and Julius was almost tempted to use his power to create a barrier to somewhat block the snow and help his vision. However, there might be some poor unfortunate soul outside and so he didn't want to risk that.[break][break]
Perhaps he should have though because before Julius can reach a building (at least he managed to pass the gate) the prosecutor found himself on his knees. His body shivering against the cold despite how he had attempted to dress himself.[break][break]
A man was on his knees just passed the gate of the establishment shivering badly. That was his fault for trying to go out in this weather. There was a reason Dita chose to stay stuck in that place even though technically the rest of the world had not fully given up on traveling in that weather. Still the girl was made of sturdier stuff than most. Despite her shyness, she was too kind to just ignore someone like that.
Piling on as many coats she could find, she stepped outside into the blizzard looking like an oversized Eskimo from the number of layers she was wearing. Surprisingly even with that much on she could still feel some of the chills. The guy who was wearing much less probably freezing. She hopped on over to his side and tried to stand him up by his arm.
"Hey are you alright? L-let's get you inside. It's a terrible time to be out."
Dita didn't really leave any room for him to debate and just went on with helping him into the building, a little forcefully if necessary. She didn't want to spend any more time standing out there in the cold. Surely the warmth of the gym was inviting enough for the guy even if there was somewhere else he had to go to. Well, since he entered the gate the first place maybe he intended to come here after all.
[attr="class","nologicpost1"] Was that... a voice? Julius wondered if it was possible to become delusional due to the cold. He had never exactly heard of such a case before but it wasn't as if he had ever looked into it either. The male can feel someone pulling on him to get up which confirmed that this was not some kind of hallucination. Images usually can't touch you. He had half a mind to scold the girl (the voice sounded young) for going out in the cold like this but now was most likely not the time. Instead, the male allowed himself to be pulled until he got into the warmth.[break][break]
Yet, despite that, his body still shivered from the residual cold. At the very least, he can finally turn his head to look at the girl along with a few people who have gathered most likely to see who it was that had been outside. Julius almost wished he had the ability to turn invisible. Slowly the people moved away a few commenting about looking for blankets and other items to warm him up while others were simply not interested in some older stranger.[break][break]
It was just him and the girl left..the girl that he assumed to be the one who had saved him from the storm. "You shouldn't...have done..that. You...could have...been stuck...out...in the cold." In other words, what she had done was dangerous. Nonetheless..."but thank you." He understood that he could have frozen to death without her. He really should buy something for blizzards...although in his defense, such things weren't normal in New Paris.[break][break]
"Is there...a...Victor here? Victor Caron?" he asked remembering why he had gone out int he first place, "his mother..she's...she's worried."
