What if we're thinking too hard about this? If it is E.V.L. that the prophecy is talking about, what if it means that she's LITERALLY set free-as in, released from her chains of canon?
Four months ago, Agent Sarah Squall's terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad day began.
Tonight, it comes to a gentle albeit rather foreboding end.
Beta-read by us three - 'cuz, well, there were us three. Yee.
Characters featured, in order of appearance: Sarah Squall, Seung-Li Kim, The Lichen, Dr. Freedenberg, Violet Rose Greenfield, Ami Seeker, Suta, Tianlong, Rashida Mafdetiti, Zeke, Adéle Bowen, Chakkik, Loquacious Immac, Stephanie Podd, Cupid Carmine, and Lapis Lazuli.
We hope you enjoy!
-SkarmorySilver, who has to catch his flight back to Columbus in like a half hour or so.
'Cause it involves FicPsych, and I kinda like to keep an eye on what goes on in FicPsych.
And, I can't help but notice that you seem to have Ami visiting the wrong nurse. You've written a kindly, down-to-earth type person. Loquacious Immac, however, is a bubbly airhead who means well, but is not always 100% up on her situational awareness. FicPsych's Pinkie Pie, if you will.
I'mma take a wild guess at what happened here: You originally wrote the scene for Jennifer Robinson, but somebody pointed out that you'd need my permission to use her, and you didn't want to run the risk of being told no after you'd already finished writing, so instead you ran down the list of Free-to-Use nurses and swapped in Immac's name without stopping to read any of her previous appearances to see what she's like.
I think so because of this line from page 7, which appears to have been missed by the three of you:
Ami pawed at the floor. "Um… I’ll have to pass, thanks. I don’t wanna be late for my session with Nurse Robinson."
How close am I?
~Neshomeh
...you're absolutely right. :( I was the one who pointed it out to eatpraylove, as well, since I didn't want a repeat of when I used Alex Dives without Iximaz looking over the work in question beforehand. I apologize on behalf of both of us for this oversight, and we will have it corrected ASAP.
Alas, I'll be off to D...il after Christmas, but once I get back, I'll see if we can rewrite Immac's dialogue to sound more in-character. It's her responsibility, however - not only was I not the one responsible, but between cleaning up for a pet-sitter and preparing for the trip, I'm afraid I'll be too busy to make any major changes before heading out of town. :C
"Alas, I'll be off to D...il after Christmas[...]"
Not getting the canonical Flowers right is apparently one of his berserk buttons. But I’m not sufficiently confident to throw an in-character fit. Still, I have issues with not daring to divert her gaze from the giant plant and as if a giant telepathic plant wasn’t strange enough.
I assume that the Marquis de Sod is a giant daisy and Captain Dandy is a giant dandelion, so that both can talk on blossom level to the SO, who is just an ordinary sized sunflower. But what exactly is gigantic with the Lichen? Growing all over its office is just what lichen does if nothing inhibits its growth. The scene and the later reminiscence felt to me as if you imagined another plant and missed the opportunity to convey this Department Head’s specific weirdness (like Sarah not knowing where exactly to gaze when it’s actually everywhere).
Also, not promoting my services here, but how could all three of you miss this:
... Nurse Loquacious Immac, who is free-to-use and was created by to Neshomeh.

It's only one part of your roster, and it ends up like this? How the duck managed you to create so much different characters? I already said it, but that shows extreme talent.
(By the way, where did you find your informations about the Arcanae? An handy source on the web could be useful for Persona badfic with OCs, to see if they'e following them correctly).

Now about this prophecy...
With each passing day, destruction draws near.
Now, it cannot be really much more here, pretty straightforward.
With each passing night brings hatred and fear.
A descent to madness for an Agent?
Though a warrior with eyes of rose will lead,
Problem with prophecy, they can switch between literal-minded and wild metaphor in any second...
A shadow reborn will finish the deed.
If we're really talking about a refomred Sue doing the ded, EVL is a no-brainer, since she is somewhat eborn, passing from ficubus to mere Sue. But it could be a Lengedary needing to be cared for again. (hS's statement about My Inner Life gt me thinking...)
Five shall depart to stand against three.
They jumped to conclusion too fast, a sure sign of misinterpretation. Three could sure be Sues, but also be stories. And five... Well, you're talking about solving some arcs with your teams, and you've got four of them. Only one more group of reinforcements needed...
But four will return, the last set free.
Deat is too obvious in my opinion, something else will happen. Besides, if my statements about teams for five is rue, nothing about 'whole' teams coming back. Perfect groud for playing GRRM.
The sky will be graced with a pillar of flame,
Fire, the Agents' best friend.
Before the crimson beast is brought to shame.
A CAF? Nah, if my statement about stories is true, we're talking about the main course here, nothing less.
Nothing less of Legendary, to be sure. Rest is in your hands, and judging how your missions go, we're in for major fireworks.

The "Crimson Beast" sounds a lot like Latias-seeing as you have claimed a Legendary starring one, that could be a good candidate. Seeing as in the games, it can fly at supersonic speeds, it explains how it's only been seen in glimpses, but how it could escape its continuum eludes me.
But there is one other creature that fits the "Deadly crimson flying monster" description pretty well: Carnage, my red dragon. Being seen across several continua matches his backstory suspiciously well.
The "set free" thing, however, could mean that some kind of grudge is lifted-perhaps Squall and Ripper put their fighting aside?-or that some kind of secret escapes: maybe Rayner comes clean about what happened to Nick.
Whatever happens, I'm stoked to see it.

Silly me, I forgot about Feratu and Brenda. Meaning you have the five teams I was talking about. Yeah, now I'm sure that's what the five in this prophecy is standing for.

SS told me and Voyd that he did a little research into Sister January's origins and found out he'd basically be stealing somebody's original character, hence her exit from the PPC.

With each passing day, destruction draws near.
Pretty straight forward. A harbinger or embodiment of Destruction approaches.
With each passing night brings hatred and fear.
Is it a Grimm?
Though a warrior with eyes of rose will lead,
Red eyes, take warning.
A shadow reborn will finish the deed.
Knowing prophecies, it's probably not a former sue.
Five shall depart to stand against three.
5 agents versus a trio of Sues.
But four will return, the last set free.
See yeah E.V.L.
The sky will be graced with a pillar of flame,

Before the crimson beast is brought to shame.
The Beast dies. The end.
My current guess for the line up of the undertakers of the supposed mission are the agents of RCs 227 (Rashida Mafdetiti, Falchion, and Velociriper) and 133,316,666 (Rayner and the aforementioned Evangeline von Lilith). I would also like to assume they are going to undertake a Legendary

...there are indeed a few future plans I have in mind which the prophecy has already hinted at to some degree. Keep in mind that as with PJO and the Warriors series (both of which inspired this prophecy plot in the first place), there's enough vagueness in some of the wordings that the way things will come to pass may not be what you might expect. All I can say is that there are some things you've got right, others you've got wrong, and still others that are somewhere in between. ;)
I won't be addressing this prophecy directly for a while due to Real Life and a lineup of missions I have planned, but it will be discussed a few more times before it comes to pass. When it does, though, you WILL know it, I promise! :D
