Chapter #5The Wrath of Eliza-Death by: Frost (Minor spoilers for Persona Q, P3P, P4, and MAJOR spoilers for P5 regarding the Velvet Room Attendants. Takes place sometime after the events of Persona 5.)
“Theo!” Elizabeth yelled. “Get in here!”
The normally cheery Elizabeth disappeared. She had died after a grave crime had been committed against her… again. She had become Eliza Death, destroyer of worlds. This time, she’d have no forgiveness.
As ordered, Theodore came rushing in a look of dread on his face. “Y-yes, sister?”
“My flan’s missing, again!” she huffed, her nose crinkling in anger. “I know you ate it this time!”
Theodore blanched, feeling the hair on the back of his n-neck stand. “I.. I did not!”
“Don’t lie to me,” Elizabeth called. “It’ll only make things worse for you.”
“What do you mean?” he asked.
Elizabeth pursed her lips. “Oh, I think you know what I’m getting at.”
Theodore felt his stomach twist into knots. “Come on, sis, I didn’t eat it!”
Shaking her head, Elizabeth reached into her book, pulling one of her cards. She plucked out the minor arcana The Wand and smirked as it appeared upside down. “I’m sorry LITTLE brother, but it must be done. You need to learn your lesson about respecting the property of others.”
The moment the card vanished, Theodore felt a familiar tingling sensation wash over his body. He dropped to his knees, gripping his head as he watched everything grow around him. Looking up at his older sister, Theodore realized that things weren’t going to get a lot worse. He grimaced, realizing that he was no taller than the thick bottom of his sister’s boot.
Smiling, Elizabeth plucked her shrunken brother into the air. She dangled him from the tips of her fingers, watching him flail as he hung from the back of his coat. “My… you’re really tiny.”
“This isn’t funny, Elizabeth!” Theodore yelled, squeaking.
Elizabeth giggled. “From here it is. Although, your sentence is a serious matter indeed.”
“My sentence?”
The older sister nodded. “Of course. You need to be rehabilitated. Although, I will allow you to choose who gets to carry out your punishment. I’d be happy to do it myself, but I figured I could at least give you the choice.”
Theodore felt tense. This essentially was a lose, lose, lose scenario, given that all of his sisters would jump at the chance to mess with him. He could just resign himself to his fate as a toy for his older sister Elizabeth for a crime he did not commit. Of course, he had no idea how long she planned to keep him at that size or what she had in store for his punishments given that this was a deeply personal offense. It didn’t seem all too appealing.
He could go with Margaret, who would treat him nicer than an angry Elizabeth. However, knowing her, she would mischievously play along with Elizabeth’s anger, coming up with a punishment of her own. Although, he had a sneaking suspicion that it was Margaret who really ate the flan just like last time. If he could get her to admit it, his size may be reversed.
And his last option was the most risky. He could ask to be given to his younger twin siblings Caroline and Justine. Given their whole warden gimmick, he wasn’t all too excited about what punishment methods they knew. Although, he could potentially get off easily if they were currently their true form Lavenza at the moment. It wasn’t a guarantee, especially since they liked to split apart from time to time, but he was willing to try his luck.
With his mind made up, Theodore chose… | Members who added to this interactive story also contributed to these: |
