@Cuccoruler@OtomostheCrazyXoxi's eye emitted a very faint purple glow as she said something to Cia.
"I got this, hold up."Xoxi walked forward, hands raised in the air, not willing to put up a fight... yet.
"Hello gentlemen! I am a reasonable person and I'm about to lay down some diplomacy on yo' ass." Xoxi's eye glowed slightly brighter as she talked, and slowly, her words became more reasonable.
"Now, y'see here boys. I take it you all are bandits, rejected by your races and forced to live off of killing others and looting people. Unfortunately you'll have to turn around and leave us alone, or you'll answer to the world's best thief, and I bet I can singlehandedly take on your 4 masked guys at once. You feelin' me, Eclair? Oh what am I saying, of course you are. So gentlemen I'll just be taking my friend here and leaving before there's any trouble, alright?"Xoxi was either talking incredible garbage, or her diplomacy is actually working. In any case she was pacifistic for the current time, and did not want to engage in combat.
"I can assure you specimens that I've seen every one of your races before with the exception of the squid kid, and I can only assume he has ink as his weapon. This is no bandit clan, this is more of a potpourri of complete garbage. I'm near 87% sure that once you all make a huge bust of loot, you'll all turn on each other, and in the end, only one of you will be left standing. With all the loot. With all the fame. With all the guilt. You'll have to live with all this guilt for your entire lives and even after that you'll still see each other in the afterlife whereas you will be locked in eternal combat in which nobody will be taken down as you will all be immortal ghosts. Doomed to a life of eternal combat lock."The light shining from Xoxi's eye is now as bright as a dim flashlight, able to make light, but not able to completely light up a room.
"You will all die here. Whether it's at the hands of my comrades or it's at my own skull."Xoxi had fortified her sanity, and retired to laughing maniacally at the bandit group while her eye shined.
MEANWHILE...
@cuccorulerTlevran stood there, baffled at what just happened.
"So that's it? Not even a description of these people? You're kind of helpful, Marie."Tlevran decided to go through the portal and see where it took him, figured it couldn't hurt, right?
Tlevran later fell out of the sky, right onto a ruined Golden Gate bridge. Portal was kind of convenient that time, huh? I mean it
was unstable, so it's not surprising it poofed Tlevran out into a random location.
Unfortunately, he couldn't get up, probably because he fell out of the sky just then.
