Darkling: The Night War

@Ever
Coolio. We'll just do it post by post, I think.

Darkling: The Night War

@Ever
Coolio. You available in like half an hour? I'm messing a few details around right now.

Darkling: The Night War

@Ever
He's near the border to the Rogue sector, surrounded by dead warlocks.

Sarafine has something about to happen, but I was waiting for someone else to post first. I could include you in that, if you wish.

Sarafine giggled, Asmodeus laughing fully beside her.
"There is always purpose within chaos. As there is destruction within order. The Balance is always there." Her hand slid down his cheek, light as a feather. "Fret not, love, I'm not here for total anarchy. But things will change, even if I weren't here, and you need to learn to bend like a Willow when the situation calls for it. Remember that, will you?"

With that Sarafine turned and walked away in a randomly decided direction. "If you'll excuse the rude departure, I have a few, ah, friends who owe me their lives. Until next time, love, ta ta."

So... We're really going to play both sides?

"Yes, dear Asmodeus. I have bigger plans than any of these younglings do."

@Carnic
Well, we'll find out sooner than later. I expect Sarafine to visit every PC eventually.

Sarafine smiled. "There difference between myself and other old fucks is that I am actually better for it. I've had the time to master my skills, shape history itself, and know exactly what I want. It's not undue confidence, but rather a simple fact. When you've lived millennia, anyone not even remotely close to your age is a child in your eyes. I'm sure you'll eventually find that out yourself, given enough time." Sarafine waved a hand casually at the offer of a drink, instead crouching down near the head of the headless warlock and rolling it a little ways away. "I'll be getting a fresh drink soon, but I thank you for the offer."

The fun begins soon?

"Yes, Asmodeus. Very soon."

Sarafine stood back up, idly toying with her hair. "How would you feel if the tides began rolling again? If suddenly it were chaos? If suddenly the Council fell, or the rebels were removed? What would you do if a pretty little Faerie removed the head from one of your leaders? Pray tell, my love, what would you do if everything changed?"

Will we really cause such mayhem, my sweet Sarafine?

Sarafine merely smiled. Asmodeus alone knew her thoughts and desires, and to pose such a question was amusingly a waste of a question.

She moved even closer to Jackson, her dark eyes locked with his. A finger on her cheek, she stood there, mere feet away, contemplating. What would his answers be, she wondered. What would his reaction be?

Sarafine's smile disappeared in a flash. "Children should remember how to talk to their elders. And psycho I am not. I would have accepted bitch, though," she said, devoid of emotion. "A fight might be a waste for me, but talk like that again and I'll remove your tongue, boy. I came to talk to someone who wouldn't bore me, since the Council is a bunch of pattering whelps. I swear they almost soiled themselves when I paid them a visit." She laughed, walking closer now.

"I'd rather we don't fight then," Asmodeus said with a shrug.

"Of course we won't, luv. Not unless we're disrespected." Sarafine crooned back. Returning her attention to Jackson, she continued. "See, I've come to join the festivities. I am indeed Sarafine, third of our kind. More ancient and wise than the Council. Asmodeus and I have decided that this little was is worthy of our interest. I'm sure you can understand, given our history in the world. So, tell me young one, what is your opinion on the state of this war? Mind, I don't give two rat asses why you're with the Council. I don't care why you fight. I don't care why you live, either, for that matter."

Having come within spitting distance, Sarafine stopped walking and bent down. She investigated the corpse that had been cut from groin up, a distasteful look on her face. "Wipe that look away, Sarafine. You've done worse with Curse and Purge."

"Yes, I have. I'm more disgusted over the sloppy cut. I, at least, made mine perfectly straight. Though I suppose I should forgive him. He is but a child."

@Lurking Shadow
Mhmm. I think that should be acceptable. On the off chance it's not, Override will get ahold of you tomorrow.

So, I'm approving this for the time being. Those changes should cover everything asked.

Sarafine laughed, low and joyless, not far behind Shidya, as she reached down and plucked the body the woman was backing up towards. "Luv, I'm not sure exactly where you are, little Faerie, but I know you're close. Why don't you scamper away, yeah?" Sarafine said with a wicked smile, throwing the body down the street.

That was cruel, Sarafine, Asmodeus chuckled in Sarafine's ear.

"Shush, beautiful Asmodeus. Let me play," Sarafine giggled. "Now, little Faerie, take your chance. The grownups need to have a discussion. Don't disappoint me."

She crossed the Wards, having been given the necessary means incredibly quickly once they'd been erected.

"Jackson, Lilith. The pleasure is yours, do believe," Sarafine called over as she sauntered over towards the younger Darkling. "You've been busy, I see. I wanted to have a little chat, and I do believe you have the time."

That's my girl. I assume we'll be having fun real soon, my beautiful destroyer? Asmodeus asked with a glint of teeth.

Yeah, soon. Very soon. Sarafine thought in response.

And meet Sarafine and Asmodeus. ^^
