I spot a @Mercinus3!!! Hi!

@Fallenreaper

You saw no one :P But yeah, I'm working on a character sheet as we speak, if the RP is still open.

The Prophecy

The answers the Violet gave Ixion assurances that he can join and complete his contract with the Grand Master simultaneously. Certainly gave him more food for thought about the proposal, having a lean towards joining the organization. Sure, it’s another contract that I’ll sign my life away to, but doesn’t matter as I’ve already signed my damned soul away anyway, he thought. The requirement that someone needs official approval for a dismissal was also a nice clause to have. “Thank you for the answer, Violet. I think that concludes everything for the day. I now must retire for the night. I bid you the best in your hunt for Gaath.” With little word, he turned and walked towards where the rooms were. As it was paid for by I’on, the assassin might as well use it.

The Prophecy

Ixion had, at that moment in time, forgotten the fact that the deo’iel weren’t able to use magic that is outside of their abilities. As the conversation carried on, the assassin understood some of the extent of the organization’s preparations when encountering dangerous creatures. He concentrated on Violet as she mentions the libraries on such beings, which would most likely mean ways in which they could be defeated. All that information would be extremely useful for him in any future endeavours. Rose’s interruption broke his train of thought and warned them about the countermeasures against Harvesters. This annoyed the man in red, visible only to the sniffer. Not because he wanted to see what can kill such creatures, but the huge warning signs in his mind about such creatures but he could not recall the information on them, despite hearing something like that in passing. He would have to read up on them if they go to the library in Fokon if the group decided to go there.

When the vampire spoke, the assassin just looked at him. Something about his comrade seemed off when they were speaking to the Sisters. Perhaps he isn’t keen on heading to Fokon and joining the deo’iel, he guessed, recalling a lot of reluctance the vampire gave off beforehand. “Fokon is not the only place for us to go,” Ixion responded, correcting Morgan. “There are always other places we could go to. However, seeing as there is information there that could help improve our abilities whenever the Fixer returns and increase our chances of survival, it is a more logical one. Being a part of the deo’iel or not is something we still got to decide.”

I’on spoke, thanking the sisters for the new information about Fokon. He saw the penin turn to them, letting them know that he was leaving. He did notice the glance that was given to him, still remembering that he owed an explanation to the events that occurred in the alleyway. However, that was to the circumstances that gave rise to the confrontation between himself and Blue. As all was concluding and without any major hitches, Ixion turned to the sisters. “I suppose that is everything that you needed from us? If so, I suggest we could convene for the rest of this waning day and get some rest. I need some rest from the exertions of the day.” As he started to head to where the rooms were, he remembered something. “One more thing,” he started, turning to the demonspawn. “If I was considering joining the deo’iel, are there any prerequisites that are needed before joining?”

The Prophecy

The sisters didn’t mind that all three of them needed the time to consider their offer. However, Ixion initially thought it was strange that they requested to join the organization later than immediately. Normally, organizations would be more than happy for someone to join their ranks. When they go into the details about the events leading to the surge of refugees in Zerul City, he could understand why there was an influx of people and explained why they suggested waiting. Anything that dangerous would lead to a few casualties and the assassin still needed time to recover from his injuries. So it was logical to wait, even after giving some time to decide on the proposition, before going to Fokon. “If things are going to be bad, as you say they would possibly,” he started, looking at everyone before looking at the two sisters. “Then waiting would be an ideal option. That’ll also give me time to recover.”

Morgan asked about what was causing the problems in Nemhim, which did intrigue the assassin about the problems. He did recall Rose pointing out that there was a monster that was causing the trouble, which got him thinking. Is this monster really that powerful, to cause chaos in a city? Would someone like the Grand Master want something such as that in his growing army? Something that powerful would put him in favour with the demon lord himself, but more information was needed before he decided on whether to pursue such an avenue to claim such a creature’s soul.

The vampire’s question was soon answered. A Harvester, Ixion thought, raking his mind. He heard of such a creature before, but the information about it was little and vague in scope. However, the sister’s had confirmed on some of the information that he knew about it: they were dangerous creatures. Something that the Grand Master is interested in. However, all the information was just speculation as a summoner was another possibility for the destruction. Their grand plan seems too ambitious for even both options that were on the table, whether Lord Nightmare was there or not. Despite all of the suggestions of a monster coming to light, I’on had his interests piqued at such a prospect of the information. “Yes, I would also like to be informed if the monster in Nemhim is a Harvester as well. Need to be kept informed on such events occurring for future travels for work.” The penin’s intentions to not staying in the city did surprise Ixion a little bit, though he showed some interest in the Stone of the Doom Mage in the Bane once it was revealed before. The assassin wouldn’t be surprised if the penin was some sort of a treasure hunter or adventurer.

The suggestion on going to Fokon was an enticing one regardless. If the group decides to go and join the deo’iel, then they needed to be there. However, it is always handy to know about information and think of possible targets to go after. “The information that could be at the headquarters would be useful, especially in the final decision on whether to join the organization or not.” The assassin thought about the possibilities that could result from this and the pleasant thought that would come from them.

The Prophecy

Hey Jack, still here and busy with real life as always.

Much with echoing with what Yoshua and Rhae have said, I am not planning on going anywhere, regardless of my busy state to make sure I am still on course with getting my Masters degree on time. This is despite losing 3 months at the beginning of the year due to concussion and the lasting effects it has had on my psyche. I also owe a lot since I had been one of the people who brought down a previous incarnation of the Prophecy before.

Do not think that you have been a bad GM. You have always been a good GM and a pleasure to play with. It's one of the major reasons why I signed up to RPG in the first place. Heck, it's because of this is why The Prophecy has succeeded for long periods of time compared to my RPs.

From looking in the past couple of pages of the IC, there is one thing that is in common with all three of the storylines: They do appear to be in a conversation with each other. It doesn't appear to show a sense of urgency with the further progress of the stories apart from further information for characters to consider.I would say perhaps getting some form of an event to bring things out of this lull would probably help with the RP.

Anyhow, I should make some progress with my post. I do believe I am next for the Zerul-side of the RP.

You can go first, Jack.

Uh...?

@Dark Jack

*Lifts head* Oro?

@yoshua171

Thank you for reacting, yoshua and Rhaevnn, but eh, yeah, as you realize yourselves you can't really do anything. I'm just quite worried with how long it's been with activity in the RP being so low... Nessa just posted, and I know that Shien is waiting for @Legion X51 to post before she can, which stalls things in that scene. And I know that @Mercinus3 is busy with his stuff, but eh... yeah, he said he was going to post "ASAP" more than two months ago, which stalls that scene... And naturally @Ashgan has his turn up in his scene, as well.

@Dark Jack

I full heartedly apologize for such a delay. I should have said something in the meantime to let you guys know that I had been busy, but even then the two months since the ASAP is not excusable on my part.

However, on a good note, I should be finishing the academic year within the next couple of weeks, so situations like this should not happen again. If it does, Shien has my permission to seek and slap me with whatever fish is suitable.

The Prophecy

The sister’s change in reaction between Morgan’s and Ixion’s accounts was apparent. While their assurances to him that there were many who fell with him not using any hands, the uncanny ability to guess the threat of an opponent that the Fixer had certainly didn’t help with the daunting prospect of fighting him again. The story of the fight between his ‘compatriot’ and Lord Nightmare certainly filled that prospect, considering everything that he knows about the deo’iel. I will get better and will show him that I am not weak, he thought, reminding himself that he is now in possession of the Dirge. The information relating to the Fixer’s surprised reaction wasn’t of much help, but it was a given since few people live to tell their confrontations.

Violet then gave a little more spiel about what they wanted to discuss with the trio, sitting down while doing so. At first, what was said was a little bit cryptic which puzzled the assassin. However, as soon as she brought up the deo’iel victims the Fixer had claimed, Ixion had an idea on what the proposal they had in mind. The invitation, despite it being expected, hit him mentally like a runaway train. He thought back to the days when he wanted to join the organization as a child. This was long before he signed the infernal contract with the Grandmaster. The prospect certainly was enticing, but he wasn’t sure if the contract would be conflicting in everything the deo’iel stood for. However, it would serve both the organizations and the Grandmaster well if he did join. That was something that he would need to think long and hard on.

I’on chimed, expressing his need to think about the proposition. While he couldn’t tell that the penin had excitement about such a prospect, he could tell that he was tense about something. Both the proposition and the extent on the Fixer’s power were big pills to swallow after all, so some time to digest those facts was certainly needed. As for Morgan, the assassin could tell that he was annoyed at him being corrected about the first encounter with Blue and the Fixer from the glance that was given. The proposition probably would have had a big effect on him, considering his vampiric nature. However, the vampire was on the same page as I’on with needing time to consider such an idea, the exhaustion of the day clear in his voice. They’re on the same page, Ixion concluded. He turns to both sisters, “I think it is a better call to give us time to weigh up the options of such a proposal before deciding. Such decisions are not to be made lightly after such exertions earlier.”
