An insidious plot! Be careful what you wish for, girl!
Who: Lash, Uxie
What: Lash successfully locked away the man she believed to be responsible for the April Fool's Day pranks. Uxie begs to differ.
Where: Uxie's office
When: May 24
Warnings: Uhhh. Sinister pixie?
Uxie really did hate to meddle.
But sometimes, a little intervention could be worth it. He'd been awfully patient these last two months, but now... ah, things were certainly about to get interesting. All that was left was for the wunderkind to come to him.
Uxie's office had changed since Lash had last paid a visit. Uxie was still curled up on a nice, soft cushion on top of his desk, but the barebones interior had been made far more comfortable with the addition of several potted plants. A small zen fountain provided the soothing background noise of trickling water. The dish of Sour Patch Kids remained, though the dish was looking emptier than before -- clearly, Uxie had been snacking.
One other familiar sight remained. A single stone, left over from Uxie's fortune telling. Labradorite. He'd drawn it out specifically for the occasion. This rested conspicuously in front of him.

no subject
There would be no sympathy from Uxie, of course. Emotion was not his domain, after all, and to deceive others for personal gain was a rather selfish, callous thing to do. At the very least, there was no disapproval in his voice, either; he was the last creature on the planet to have any interest in moral judgments. Maybe this girl really was an evil, manipulative backstabber at her core... but Uxie could admire that. She was stupid, but the kind of stupid that didn't stay stupid.
Or if it did, then it at least made itself useful.
Uxie nodded to the labradorite, still laying unclaimed on the desk. "What we believe we want... is not always what's best for us," he recited. "You have your truth, wunderkind. Against my better judgment, I have performed all that you have asked of me. Your eyes have been opened: do not expect me to close them again. These memories are yours to bear. Please do try to learn from them; not all beings are quite so softhearted as I am."
Slowly, he rose once again, wrapping his arms around the cool stone and holding it out to Lash. "A gift," he announced, "to caution against hubris. A reminder of our promise. Ah... you haven't forgotten, have you?" He tilted his head slightly, his face the very picture of childlike curiosity. Even so, there may have been an ever-so-subtly ominous ring to his words. "My part in this foolish endeavour did not come cheaply. Perhaps the outcome was not the one you hoped for, but I certainly hope I can count on you to stand by your word."
