[ Through what can be called nothing other than a miracle, Ereshkigal had made it to the next phase. After having selected a dress she had deemed cute yet elegant enough, she took her seat and attended the auction. Having so many people around while wearing new clothes wasn't very comfortable... Well, having people around wasn't comfortable, period.
But even so, something caught her attention. Eyes widened as the Legendary Phoenix Feather was presented. And just as the auction started: ]
Hold-Hold up...!
[ Ereshkigal sprung up, going to the auctioneer before anyone could stop her. How could they dare putting such a thing on sale? After what had happened with the Fisher King and that accursed giant? They were offering people even more means to mess with the dead...! That was... Unacceptable! She felt so angry, she didn't have the time to worry about drawing everyone's attention. Thank goodness or she'd have been red from shame. ]
B-Bringing back the dead is an act against nature itself! [Paying whatsoever no attention to the people's reactions, she went to the stand where the feather was exposed.] Upon my authority as Goddess of the Underworld, I shall confiscate this artifact. [Just as she was about to reach for and grab the feather, she noticed something. No one was more knowledgeable than her when it came to things related to death. And this feather... There was no way it was what they were advertising.] Wait, that's not a real—
[ Before she could finish the sentence, the bouncers grabbed her and took her to a backdoor. The auctioneer very very embarrassingly apologized for the intervention of this “madwoman” even as she was taken away kicking and screaming, albeit her complaints were muffled. Ere long, they managed to take her through the door and peace returned to the auction room...
Someone sitting on the front rows or approaching the door may hear that it was far from over though. Ereshkigal's voice was now audible from behind the door, and by the sound of it she was still endangered. ]
W-What are you doing? Let me go!! [She started to sound a bit more panicked as the bouncers were preparing to throw her in magic jail.] You can't throw me in that, I-I did nothing wrong...!
