	Andromeda is trying to figure out what she can about the woman, thinking back on the occult. While the occult itself doesn't lend a grand amount of information, the history from which occult is built on can. Lady Justice, seen so many times on the steps of court houses was, from what Andromeda can recall quickly, based off Iustitia from the Romans. A Goddess of Justice. Though formally called a goddess with her own temple and cult shrine in Rome, it appears that she was from the onset viewed more as an artistic symbolic personification rather than as an actual deity with religious significance. Thing is, for each and every Roman Goddess there has to be an equal Goddess with the Greeks, doesn't there? That question was about to be answered. 

	The womans head turned, seeming to look at Andromeda even though she was blindfolded. [i][b]"I am known by many names. Justice. Iustitia."[/b][/i] Her voice even and calm, almost distant but as ethereal as it had been when she first spoke. [i][b]"By others I was known as Dike Astraea, but even before that I was known by another name."[/b][/i] She seemed to look towards Gilbert and then to Gio. [i][b]"So very long ago I was known as The Dice."[/b][/i] She let the words hang in the air as her head turned back towards Andromeda. 

	[i][b]"Now, I am Judgement."[/b][/i] There was a pause as she took a step forward, using the scythe almost like a cane. [i][b]"Yet one cannot judge the living, and while you hover between life and death, it is not your time to be judged. So the choice is yours but heed my words. Peace and Punishment are two sides of the same coin. Paradise and Purgatory can be the same place if only viewed by two different souls."[/b][/i] Another step, and another. Her wrist seemed to go limp and the blade of scythe landed in the ground below, cutting it as she walked. The world around them to the direction of so called peace hazed away until it was just a void. [i][b]"Perhaps we will meet again."[/b][/i] That was all she said as she stepped into the field on the other side and fluttered out of sight just as she had come into view.

	 Now there is truly nothing to get a read off of this man with what Nancy is using as far as skills go. But that isn't all bad because her own history is going to tell her plenty. This is no gatekeeper of Erebus. This is Minos, Rhadamanthus, or Aeacus. Not that she knows what they look like but this man, she will feel a kindred spirit with him even if that similarity between them spans more than just an ocean. 

	The man steps forward as Nancy held out the pendant to her. His eyes darting to the others that were speaking. [i][b]"Don't you be disrespectin' me little man. Don't ya derogate, or deride! Yer in my world now, not yer world,"[/b][/i] he seemed to warn as he eyed the man and the woman. His thick Caribbean accent going darker. Shaking his head he chuckled a bit as he looked towards Nancy once again. [i][b]"Children, what can ya do?"[/b][/i] he asked her, as if it was a father knowing understanding the frustrations of a mother when she was at the end of her rope. [i][b]"Besides pitch them to the abyss and see how long the scream lasts,"[/b][/i] he added with a wink before taking the pendant in the palm of his hand and running his fingers over it. 

	[i][b]"Oh I imagine it is Bebe` and yes, it could make a very good trade, the question is, what are you wantin' fer it Mon Cher?"[/b][/i] he asked Nancy as a toothy grin started to pull at one corner of his mouth. It slowly grew until he gave a full toothed chuckle. [i][b]"The more you want from me the more I need. A pin fer an eye, a candy fer a tooth. A soul fer a prize,"[/b][/i] he said with a nod. [i][b]"Sadly though, yours is not up for grabs but these others, perhaps could hold some value. Again, it all depends on what you want and if I can pull a rabbit from my hat. As it were."[/b][/i]
