Cryptic Sanctuary; Shrine of the Black Grimoire

A dark shadow much darker than the rest of the pitch black room would rise up from the darkness and immediately take the form of Thanytoz, who would be nearly fully wrapped in his own cloak and with piercing red eyes gleaming in the darkness. He gazed upon the Cryptic Sanctuary, which was the Kurogami's Shrine, and where the Black Grimoire and the Kurogami were to rest. Though he'd never been one to reside here, himself, due to how much work he was always doing, the new heiress, Kurogami Tabitha Tensei, would have this dark sanctuary and all above and below it as her personal resting place. It was deep under the cemetary, yet high above hell itself, both of which would be easy access to the young Dark Goddess.

"Welcome to your Sanctuary, Oh Kurogami," Thanytoz would speak out, as if anticipating Tabitha's following behind him, "... Rest In Peace, Tabitha. This is the last stop."

When Tabitha rose from the shadow of her father's shadow, she would no longer be in her monstrous spider form, but instead would be in her humanoid form, looking like a teenage woman clad in an all blood red kimono, with her straight, jet black hair draped over her eyes like the Grudge. Her back was slumped over and her arms dangled lifelessly, yet her white eye gleamed in the darkness similarly to how Thanytoz's red eyes did, inspecting the area. "... Sweet. I like the digs, dad." She'd already been here before; or, rather, been below here when she was fighting that snake, Apophis, but had never actually been up to the sanctuary, itself. With the Dark Obelisk eternally generating dark energy below her, and the Apophis as her little pet, Tabitha knew already that she was going to love it here. "Please don't tell me we have to do another ritual or whatever. I'm kinda tired." At least, tired of being so formal. She enjoyed looking formal, but really hated acting the part. She was always a really chill and laid back person, until she got excited, and the whole 'formal' persona was just not chill enough for her. She would be able to pull through one more if necessary, simply for her father, but... She wasn't looking forward to another one. She didn't see how they did this type of stuff all day, honestly.

Thanytoz chuckled, raising a hand and placing it upon his young daughter's head, rubbing it affectionately. "No, no, dear girl. Nothing more." He would raise it up and guide her further in, letting the thick and heavy haze eternally trapped down here envelop him. "I was merely here to show you where the Black Grimoire, Odin, of which I bestowed to you some time ago upon your becoming the new Kurogami, was supposed to go. As well as you, who are the new protector of the Black Grimoire, are to reside in the Cryptic Sanctuary." With all of Tabitha's ceremonial rites done with, she was as free as a bird to do whatever she wished. Her father, being in quite the jovial mood, would jest with her in a manner that perhaps only the two of them would understand, raising his arm up dramatically before him. "I RELEASE THEE, OH DAUGHTER, AS THE NEW GREAT DARKNESS UPON THE LAND, IN THE SHADOW OF THY FATHER!!!" He laughed lowly to himself, thoroughly amused. He was always one to be randomly dramatic in a rather light-hearted manner, and was always aware that his eldest daughter, Tabitha, enjoyed and understood this easy-going side of him most... Especially more than his other daughters.

"Oh, but before I go, there is one more thing I must explain, Tabi, dear." Considering her place in the Lawless Land, it was only natural that Thanytoz explained his own, so she would be more aware of what their association would be from across the plains. "Now, I will be running the Hotel, which is located beyond the Battleground of Valparaiso, of which the cemetery is attached (for obvious reasons). You are to be in charge of all the dead of the Veritas, which all end up here. Whilst you man the dead, I will man the hotel, and together, we will both run the Mechanical City that is the restored Valhalla. On the land mass mirroring the Mechanical City is the Olde Witch City, where the original Witch Province that was once connected to Daddy's birthplace, the Reality, is located. That land is also for us to roam about as we see fit, and where the Black Market, another part of the Factorial City, is located. That is the part of the shop that you will be running, my dear." Though the Black Market was not to be accessed conventionally, it would still be Tabitha's responsibility to run it accordingly. "With that much said, I don't believe there is anything else I need to tell you. From here on, it's all you. But come to Daddy if you need help or simply wish to have family time. It's not common for we Dark Ones to engage in such 'Family Matters' over the 'Family Business,' but with us... It's going to be a bit different, Dearest Heart~!" Thanytoz was the most loving out of all the Dark Ones, and also knew what it was like not to have that love expressed outwardly when needed. He didn't want that for his daughter; none of them. Especially not his dearest, cherished eldest. "Are we clear on everything, Tabitha?"

Tabitha remained predominately motionless, with a deadpan expression on her face, still hunched over and with her arms drooped down carelessly, even with her father's petting. It seemed like this was just her demeanor, and also that she was tired. "Yeah, yeah, I got it, I got it..." she said, simply ready to be done with it all. She knew how important it was and wasn't downplaying it, but damn, it was just a lot. She was actually more itching to play with the dead than anything, and already had some sick and twisted things thought up for what she was going to do with her army of undead and army of machines... Or maybe, undead machines. Yeah. That sounded fun. "I'll come over to the Hotel if I have any problems, or whatever." She didn't mean to sound dismissive, but this was being drawn out longer than she would have liked. Then again, she drew things out longer than they should with her slacking off, so she had no real right to complain. And yet, she still felt like it. She was still a teen, after all. Her father really did talk a lot when he was passionate about something. "Is that everything, Pops?"

Thanytoz chuckled again, hearing the eagerness in Tabitha's voice, even if it was difficult for the normal ear to discern. He knew his daughter well, and could hear the difference in her expression even though her voice usually sounded the same all the time until she was excited. That was simply how it was as a father and a daughter. "Hahaha... Yes, dear girl. That is all." He knew that she just wanted to do things on her own now. He'd helped her enough as it was, anyway, and it was time to see what Tabitha was going to do on her own, anyway, without his help. He could only take her so far before she would be released from the nest. "Alright then, Dearest... Daddy will leave you be." In his overwhelming affection for his daughter, he would give her one last kiss upon her forehead and begin to sink into the ground. "Daddy Loves You, Dearest Heart!" He'd say one last time, before slipping into the ground. He had other business to take care of, anyway, involving one of the other Dark Children. "Rest In Peace..." he'd say at last, before completely fading away into a place unknown.

"Love you too, Dad," Tabitha would say, cracking a smile as a sign of affection after being kissed on the forehead one more time. Her father was affectionate, sometimes a little overly affectionate, but considering the circumstances of how he was raised, she understood why. Better to be overly affectionate than to be under affectionate. That's the type of life he came from and it was clear that he just didn't want her to feel the same way. Even though she understood that, she'd let him know if it got too much.

Tabitha stood motionless for a while after Thanytoz disappeared, waiting patiently. When she was absolutely certain that the coast was clear, she would smirk. "Sweet." She had the whole Cryptic Sanctuary to herself to do whatever she wanted with it, as well as the whole cemetery... And was in the Lawless Land, so basically everything was free game and there were no rules. "Gonna go fuck with some n00bs." Naturally, that was the first thing on her list; to have some fun with the undead, and maybe some of the roughnecks that roamed the Lawless Lands. Then, maybe pimp out her dark shrine. Tabitha had big plans... Big, big plans. The Lawless Land was like one big party for everyone who didn't want to follow any rules, and she could be as reckless as she wanted without having to worry about fucking up the upholstery, or hurting Tina or something. She would turn around immediately and start walking, until the haze covered her completely and she was nowhere to be found.
