[@Lugubrious][@Kafka Komedy] [i] "No, they aren't"[/i], Lady's words were quite quickly spoken, it seems Gilgamesh and lateness did not go hand in hand. The time for the meeting hadn't yet started, meanwhile, Sevrin was looking at his watch. [color=2e3192]"And 5... 4... 3... 2..."[/color], the door slid open as the representatives arrived. They introduced themselves, Otsune, someone Sevrin had known about, but never met personally, and Souta, all the same. If anyone delved into anything relating to Gilgamesh, whether it be their secret field agents, or their accomplishments in the field of development, both 'supernatural', and Gilgamesh's public sector, Souta would be a name that crops up. A genius inventor, and his sister, Gilgamesh's finest agent... It was an almost perfect pair of siblings. As soon as they had taken their seats, it was Sevrin who would lead this meeting. He had pressing matters to also share with them to report back to their superiors too. [color=2e3192]"Now that everyone is here, welcome. We have matters to discuss, normally, these meetings would merely be an exchange of documents, and talking about new developments, but there is a more pressing matter that we must inform everyone here of first... Lady if you would please"[/color], he handed the floor over to Lady. She was the one who was a lot more involved in what's been happening. [i]"Thank you, now as I'm sure everyone here is aware, the rise in demonic activity has risen in the past month. Our statisticians at HQ are still calculating the scale, but it's at a scale like none we've ever seen, they say it's increasing rapidly though. Normally ones of this scale are limited to a single city, such as most recently Fortuna, or the Temen-ni-gru incident from years past. But we're seeing them in every city in the world right now, for the time being our hunters are working around the clock to keep them down, and I'm sure your agents and Order troops are doing the same",[/i] she began. [i]"Last week an old friend of mine and I have found the reason it's happened... How much do you all know about the Seven Seals?"[/i], she asked. It didn't seem to common knowledge, but perhaps Mary might have heard of it, due to her field. In any case... [i]"The Seven Seals are an old seal, and as the name suggests there are seven of them. They say that when they are broken, the apocalypse and the end times will come... One of those seals have broken. The timing is estimated to be around one month ago, when the demonic activity had begun. That said, these seals don't just hold back the demon world, they also hold back heaven too... I have friends in Vigrid who tell me some very 'nice' things about angels, but generally, we don't want heaven coming into this either"[/i], [color=2e3192]"Indeed, it would be quite... Hmmm, messy? Basically this meeting today was to inform everyone here of this, our goal today is to formulate a party to find the next seal, and guard it. We've confirmed that these seals were destroyed by someone else, and was not a natural occurrence, so whoever is coming to break them, is going to appear at the next one. Intel suggests that the second one is right here in this very city"[/color], [i]"And so today, we would like the cooperation of the Order of the Sword and Gilgamesh to form a search and defend party",[/i] the explanation was done, now all that was left was the response of the other two parties here. Gilgamesh could mobilize troops at the click of their fingers, and the Order might be the best in terms of bringing lore and study related aids to find the seal, while the Demon Hunters could provide intel on demon appearances. It's not unusual for one or the other to help in jobs, so long as something was in it for them, but calling all three to cooperate was going to be a first.
