The War of the Three

Suparna Wolgen

Demons may be liars and cheats, but they also placed a great deal of stock in the art of the Deal. Even if no one had sold their soul here, barring the two STLTH units Bastion so callously called her toys, Suparna wasn't just going to backstab someone after the negotiations were made and she came out on top.

"Pardon me?" The Queen of Carrion turned from lich to glare with no small amount of venom at the Queen's Treasure, insulted that she would be such a sore loser about this. "We strike a deal and the ink hasn't even dried before you try to renege on it? There is a being a statesmen and then there is being impossible to work with. The ruling was for a fair division between us all along with two of your marvelous Machina you so cruelly discredit. Since you fail to grasp the idea of haggling or possess any integrity, I'll over look your greed for the time being."

This was making Suparna real glad she had abandoned the Elicitor and missed out on capturing Bastion in the first place. Even as a broken slave, Suparna wouldn't want anything to do with her.

The Queen of Carrion turned her back on Bastion to find the lich hadn't stabbed her in the back with his claymore, instead, was leaning against the wall and waxing poetic like an old soul. There was a charm to it, and did well in making him seem the most reasonable person present at the moment. It wasn't hard to imagine herself cooperating with him in the future for the mutual benefit of their interests, but only time would tell in that regard.

"If you are so inclined as to believe I need to earn my part of the bargain, then I can offer the services of my carrion to tend to your wounded. There are undoubtedly countless burns and other detritus that coat your wounded which must be cleared before they can heal. The human surgeons of old used maggots for their disposition towards eating dead flesh, a talent we have no lost completely, if you so wish. I can understand if your people would not enjoy a demon tending to them, but considering the devastation that must have occurred above us, you may require any aid available to you while my share of the supplies are being sent home."

It also served the added benefits of generating good will between them for future negotiations, and insurance so the Angels wouldn't backstab her once the Machina pull out the remnants of the demon forces return to lick their wounds.

That was never confirmed given White and Green Guild became allies, making Cassandra's change moot.

@TheWindel

Ah. I just assumed given that Cassandra had followed Eris into the White guild during the civil war, and was later called to the meeting at the mall with Chiyo, that she was also her official whipping girl. My bad.

@Caits

Not that I don't enjoy lewd jokes, but didn't Cassandra leave the Green to join the White guild? The green King was calling for her becuae he's a forgetful ass

Is Jeykll going to weigh in on Walgrave's offer or should Richard post tomorrow?

God's Shattering [Concluded]

Lorelai

A great many things occurred in a short period of time, but concerned as she was Lorelai was a bit slow on the uptake when confronted by a near exsanguinated Asgard who's powers were likely all that kept them from being dashed upon the stones and scattered through the water ways. Still, it was a great risk on Asgard's part and she would be lectured most fiercely about it when they weren't pressed for time and they returned to the halcyon days of lounging around a chateau with no responsibility, IE, yesterday.

"Sir Asgard, take a moment to recover while I address this...interesting find. Don't move an inch from this spot until Vladimir has replenished you." Lorelai said with an authoritative air to her, putting her foot down lest her Knight try any more heroics in aiding the fallen Aquiarian at the risk of her own life. Hoping that Asgard would concede to the advice of her general, she spun on her heel and marched down the sewer lane to stand above the incensed beastkin. She snaked an arm around Ruxen's waist and lifted her off of the librarian like one carries a petulant child beneath their arm.

"Don't think we aren't aware of who you are. I've known that many have been tasked with hunting the last beastkin in the past, yet despite their successes you still manage to return to the Imperium, hale and hearty. Quite a feet, though perhaps not if the rumors of your immortality are indeed true."

And Lorelai was certain they were given the multitude of reports she'd received about the last beastkin, Ruxen. It was only to be expected with her history of handling dangerous creatures that someone in the Imperium would approach her in regards to handling Ruxen in a more lasting fashion then imprisonment. The proposal was interesting and the experience of bringing such a magnificent beast into the Imperium's fold would have been worth it alone, but the posting would have made it too implausible to ever serve beneath Eleonor, so she had rejected the offers.

Ironic she know held her once potential prey yet joined her in flight from the Imperium's long reach.

After moving a few steps away from Tori and Asgard, she set the beastkin down onto all fours and addressed her a bit more civilly. "Regardless of your nature, you are now bereft of your roof. The Cathedral is most certainly ruined beyond immediate repair, and none of us want to remain here for very long when the city guard will be upon us once they find a proper access tunnel." At least with the supposed death of Antonia, there was no one to tell those above of some secret shortcut in the cathedral remnants, so they would have a bit of leeway while the guard searched for official sewer entrances. They couldn't just jump into manholes blind either, and would undoubtedly secure proper maps while they organize search parties. These were all things that would buy them time in the short term, but make their every endeavor past that grace period a waking nightmare if they weren't careful.

"So, Ruxen is it? By all accounts you hate the Imperium. Can't say I share the sentiment but I'm awfully sympathetic right now, so I'll be straight with you. Soldiers will come down to, best case, arrest us for treason and painlessly execute us behind closed doors, so if all us don't leave your home now, then we aren't getting a chance to. Since you live down here, I imagine you know the ins and outs. Get us to safety, and we may be in a position to pardon you from all future Imperial assassinations."

It was a surprisingly composed offer from the Abyssal Knight, though on the inside,

What the fuck am I saying!? I can't promise this! Ahhhhhhh- Wow those are some fluffy ears- Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh- Like I really want to pet them- Ahhhhhhhhh!

It was less so.

Yet there was something amiss in that very stretch of sewer. Something imperative to their survival and laid bare for all to see were their eyes not drawn to one another or the hole above, but to the very water they had just traversed.

To the patch of murky water where the water curved around an object unseen, leaving a sphere of stillness within the rapids like the oculus of an unfathomable observer, gazing upon those intruding upon its domain.

How would she not want to keep them all in backstabbing range?

Fate/ Transcendent Paradigm (A Fate/GO Based RP)

Is Madea still here? Cause she would be perfect in the Cautiously Pessimistic Cabal of Backstabbing that Richard and Walgrave seem to be forming...wow, this is shaping into Kirei, Zouken, and possibly Madea alliance. Scary good.
