Cassandra best learn how to dance properly. There will be plenty of galas and events that require it once Eris ste- I mean inherits, her families fortunes and brings them into high society.

Indeed it is. Everything is hinging in Retsu-chan dancing in a club next to awkward Shino. Too bad no one is there to record it for black mail...

God's Shattering [Concluded]

Lorelai

General Yenma was well and truly out of earshot by the time Lorelai actually moved. It was only a twitch, a spasm of the facial muscles, but it was all that was needed to kick start her brain after the complete shutdown she had gone through. How else does one react to every single thing that has hit the Abyssal Knight right in the gut in this morning alone? She hadn't even had breakfast before her world had been overturned and burned to ash. Lorelai's idol had been overcome, captured, and violated by the cruelest creature to still haunt the Imperium. All of that was made possible by the cooperation of another Knight of the Order of Ragnorak who had conspired against Lady Eleanor for reasons unknown. Then came the family affairs of Lady Eleanor as well as the spy who brought word of the conspiracy's reach going ever farther. Now the uninvolved members of the Order of Ragnorak were being replaced without any past murmurings or reasons that Lorelai could recall.

If she were not such a sychophantic devotee of Lady Eleanor and knew that she would need to hear of these ill tidings, Lorelai may have had significantly more trouble compartmentalizing all this news then a simple twitch.

Turning with some stiffness, Lorelai took note of the remarkably patient man whose clattering pipe told her that shock was expression on many people's faces today. "Forgive me Sev, as much as I would normally love to take up your offer for amicable combat, I will have to postpone this bout in light of recent events. With my duties multiplying by the minute I will have little time to spare. However, if you'd be willing to arrive with the dawn tomorrow, I could work in a match as part of my morning drills. In the meantime, I ask you to be tactful with what you have heard hear today, and may the Imperator protect you in these turbulent times."

After having offered Sev what she could, Lorelai returned to the dining room where she found nothing of note had really happened. "By the Jester's suggestion, the Imperator has announced that there shall be new holders of the title Midgard and Nifelheim. I don't claim to be the most knowledgeable of Imperial politics, but I would say that unless the prior two were corrupt in totality, then our position has considerably weakened against this conspiracy. Oh, and I may be having an exhibition with an old man named Sev in the morning, so don't let the noise keep you from slumber."

We will all sorely miss Shiro, but as he would always tell us, 'People die when they are chopped.'

Hildr Reinhardt

It was readily apparent her driver was not pleased with this request, something Hildr had been expecting but was hoping for bit less hostility on the girl's part. "Look, I know we didn't come here to get hung up on family, but my daughter is hurting and I can't leave her alone out here any longer. Your the only one I can trust with this and will cover your every expense for the duration of the job and a year after too. Beyond that, if there is anything you need, just ask and I'll get it to you. And Boss? I'll cover your workload so you can act without being concerned about the paperwork." Hildr reached across and rested a hand along the back of her driver's neck, fingers rubbing soothing circles over the tensed girls muscles. "All you have to do are two simple things. Keep my baby alive, and make everyone who harms her wish they weren't. Cleaning up the mess is optional."

Broker Of Fortune

To: Dark Wraith
From: Broker of Fortune
Subject: Re: Business

I'll keep my eyes on the chats then, though you can't blame a girl for wanting some intimacy. Face-to-face interaction is the backbone of every lasting business relationship~

Broker sent the message and did just as she said, opening and expanding several message tabs in the corner of her HUD, keeping tabs on her area chat in reality as well as any other method she could conceive the mysterious Dark Wraith using to contact her. It was irksome for Broker of Fortune that Dark Wraith was so very insistent in doing everything through messages and some such. It made endearing herself and her services rather difficult when she couldn't have the emotional appeal of existing beyond a name on a message header, the kind of impact that was best fostered through holding a face in mind.

But alas, Dark Wraith will continue to hoard the power if she hides behind the mask of anonymity. Sigh...

"Ah." Broker pulled herself from her rumination and private messaging to direct her attention to the latest member of the Blue Guild. Going off initial impressions he seemed an alright sort who was good for levity at the very least, a nice thing to have when you get caught in a ten hour material grind to prepare for a large project. Nope, we don't have any tests though if we ever wind up like the Black City you are going to want to know your way around here if we get caught in a prolonged siege. Not that I see that happening anytime soon, only a fool targets the economic heart of the world, and we are on pretty good terms with the Green Guild so they'd be supporting us as well.

Since the tour was more or less done and there weren't any glaring issues raised by Blue Joker, Broker of Fortune hopped of the tank and clapped him on the shoulder good naturedly. "This completes your basic tour of the Blue Guild. Welcome to the Cobalt Bruisers! Get ready to work your ass off or Absinthe may take you out back and excommunicate you with a line of tanks. Now follow me, cause I am not the kind of person to dance alone in a club, we are going out and putting holes in Dissolutions. The guilt coffers never stop needing more mats, and you are only taking out of it if you put goods in."

The familiar weight of Fortune's Favor settled in her hand, loaded and ready for action.

"Oh, and you're driving the car."

I do love it how no questions Eris being shipped with her own mother.

Though I know have the image of her walking down the wedding isle in a black dress to marry a loaded handgun, so good going for giving me all this grief :|

God's Shattering [Concluded]

I'll probably post tomorrow night or early wednesday. So if Eleanor wants to address Axon before Lorelai returns from letting Sev down gently and bringing in the news, go ahead.

Actually...for someone who claims to be the chillest and the most swood, Emma is as judgmental as that chick in that WoWD RP.

@TheWindel

Whatever do you mean? I thought that one beautiful, charming, and exceptionally intelligent Japanese girl with good taste was the most accepting person in the world.

Deep Ground Online (Hiatus)

I'm armed to the teeth, ready and able, sir!

Roger dodger, got your vector victor. She'll have her eyes peeled to her area chat while building the DGO equivalent of the nuclear football.
