Made my Lucius post. He (and, since @Lord Coake allowed it, Sanath) are now at the pit containing Gormog, Vinicius and Urg of Murr, away from Atella, Harkin and Salvius. That said, I fear Harkin might not be making another action of his own volition; @The Whacko's been gone for more than three weeks now. So, uh, that's a thing. Anyway, feel free to respond to stuff in whatever way is appropriate, folks.

Not a lot particularly interests the Fallen Angel these days. Something or other might draw his attention, as The Gentleman's Boutique of Intriguing Antiques had (hence his presence there), but actual interest is uncommon to him in the way that only ten years of prolonged, excruciating torture can ensure. By contrast, he often finds himself experiencing annoyance with the lesser beings that he is forced to interact with- he reminds himself to reign back on that arrogance again- and is rarely considerate of other people's agendas. Therefore, when of all things a Chaos Space Marine bursts into the room, fully armoured, then bullrushes the nearest pit heedless of the humans in his path and leaps in with no grand fanfare, he sees it as less of an intriguing circumstance, and more as an excuse to let the two manipulators have their way with one another (in whatever sense that indicates) and get his new minion away from them with as little harm done as possible.

Fortunately, it seems Lucius' intimidation has done the trick initially, with Marko refusing the insistent plea of the androgyne to read his incomplete book, if not as confidently as the Angel might desire. This is soured by the Tzeentchian's prompt request to know about Sanath's past, and the Astartes decides now is a good time to move himself and his minion away from them both. Rising from his seat, he grabs the addict's bag, checking to ensure the book is still intact in there, then lifts it under one arm, pries Sanath away from Atella with the other, and slings the man over his shoulder.

'We're going to see why there's a Space Marine here,' Lucius states bluntly, not caring overmuch what the Slaaneshi cultist thinks of their prey being snatched from them. He promptly turns and walks off, heading into and, where relevant, shouldering aside the crowd of presumably-Khornate worshippers of blood and death, until he stands as near the edge of the pit as he dares. Placing Sanath down next to him, he eyeballs the inhabitants of the pit in question - the Marine from before, in a suit of power armour that he roughly recognises as belonging to the War Hounds Legion before they changed their name and turned Traitor, though the lower half is unrecognisable for the bloodstains on it; an Ogryn, the same Ogryn in fact that had walked in with one so-called "Ersus" previously, at this distance noticably taller and somewhat bulkier than Lucius himself, though it is almost certainly less battle-trained than even him, leached of combat skill as he is; and a particularly large Ork of similar size to the Ogryn, probably a Nob or even a Meganob on that basis. Of them, only the World Eater is presently armed, chainsword already revving and making the charge toward the Ork, though the Ogryn's oversized weapon is strapped to its chest for easy acquisition, presumably not used so far to make for a better fight.

The Ork, Lucius surmises, is at a distinct disadvantage. Nevertheless, he is willing to wait for the time being, mostly to see whether the World Eater can provide any character traits beyond the habitual psychopathy that many followers of the Blood God show off. The odds, so far, would seem to be against him.

@Sarpedon Yeah. So he's mentally cisgendered with regards to his birth sex, but physically transsexual on account of forced chemical/magical alterations, though with male genitalia retained after the fact. I know at least one of those words sounds like a Dumblr buzzword, but there is legitimate terminology behind them.

@Sarpedon He has a largely female-looking body, with male genitals, and he was born biologically male. Going by the closest real-world analogue, I'd consider him an MtF transsexual, if not a willing one; his gender is obviously another story entirely, since he still identifies as male, so I won't comment on that any further than what was said previously.

@Lord Coake Cool beans. In that case, I'll write up a post for Lucius in the near future. Expect that, folks.

@Lord Coake Eyy, now we don't need to control Sanath into doing things. Basically, "nothing much" is the answer to your question - the main group's conversation advanced very slightly, a World Eater just barged in on the Ogryn and Ork's fight power armour and all, and we gained two new players, one of whom is said World Eater, and the other is a guy who was raised by a Khornate cult, then got turned into a transsexual by a Slaanesh cult, and now flashes his rack at people to get free stuff. Regarding Lucius himself, I was planning on having him basically go "screw this, I have a convenient reason to leave these two fucks to try and fuck each other over", then drag Sanath and his magic bag o' drugs and knowledge over to see how the whole World Eater thing plays out. Do you mind if I have Lucius drag Sanath and his magic etcetera etcetera the thing I just said?

@agentmanatee I'm thinking they're probably in or around Khorne's section of the VIP area. I'm personally imagining that they're left-ish of where Lucius and co. are currently seated, but they can be wherever. Creative liscence, and all that.

@Sarpedon A'ight, chill. Just trying to help Jb out, like you said. Anyway, I'm looking forward to your post and manatee's, so we'll see how that goes.

An Unholy Mass: Warhammer 40,000 RP [Black Crusade Inspired] [Mature Content]

@Jbcool 'Interaction' he says. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) That said, I am looking forward to having stuff happen again. Lucius needs things to do. Just in case a reminder would be helpful, don't forget to add descriptions of @Sarpedon and @agentmanatee's characters to the first post, once they're both accepted.

An Unholy Mass: Warhammer 40,000 RP [Black Crusade Inspired] [Mature Content]

@Sarpedon Well, not much posting has been done recently in IC, and one post can be used to get a character into the appropriate place rather than over several spread-out posts, so there's that. And, uh, I am wondering how your character acts in the relevant situations, so that's self-evident.
