<DeathStar> Location: The Academy
<DeathStar> <Narrator> A month had passed here on Geyze as well.
<DeathStar> <Narrator> Tensions had risen on Geyze, and many of the Kingdoms loyalities were changing. The Hapian Empress had begun to launch a campaign against Kumen for their actions and voting to go to war with them the days before. In these days, I felt powerless to stop either world at going to war.
<DeathStar> <Narrator> The Legion, not surprisingly, sided with the Hapians.
<DeathStar> <Narrator> And there would be more to come..
<DeathStar> 6* Gwen leans back in his seat in the Unit 6 building
<Seraphna> * Alita sits back in her own. Smiling at him.
<Sathen> 6Mykel is resting on the couch, his time spent with Isis training having taken a toll it seems.
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Y-Yes?
<kalonZombie> <Ceilia> Our boyfriend is lazy it seems, Alita.
<kalonZombie> 6*She's sitting in Alita's lap
<Seraphna> Alita> "How're you fairing, Gwen?"
<Sara> * Liana plays with Selena as she sits
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *steps out of her room*
<Sathen> 6*Mykel glances sideways at Ceilia* "Lazy? I'll make you eat those words later dear..."
<kalonZombie> <Ceilia> Nah.
<DeathStar> 6* Shion sits in her office, the latest graduating class done. She folds her paperwork. It has been almost two months since Selena and the four cubs were born, since it was 1.17ish
<DeathStar> <Shion> I wonder when mother plans to take over as headmistress again. *She notes to Lumi, who is in her office handing her some reports*
<DeathStar> 6* Selena giggles, babbling
<GhostChain> 6*Miyuki leans over the chair peering at Shion, kittens hanging off her
<DeathStar> 6* Celes reads over stuff on babies, looking a little concerned
<GhostChain> <Miyuki> you know I am you naughty pumpkin
<DeathStar> <Shion> Ah, mother. I know you are, I was just wondering when
<Seraphna> Alita> "So... any new developments?"
<Sara> <Liana> Everything okay, my princess?
<DeathStar> 6* Shion peers up, adjusting her hair back
<DeathStar> <Celes> A-ah, my love.
<GhostChain> <Miyuki> well I could start now
<DeathStar> 6* She closes the book
<DeathStar> <Shion> Only when you feel ready. The little ones aren't two months old yet.
<DeathStar> 6* Isis makes a few toys in the other room
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *takes a seat* "The drums of war and being beaten."
<Sathen> 6*Mykel sits up and nods in greeting to Sasha* "So do we know what is on the plate for today?"
<DeathStar> 6* Shion stands up with some paperwork. "I plan to go see unit 6 with a mission only they can do."
<Jackieness> and == are
<GhostChain> <Miyuki> very well little pumpkin, beside I am certain the kittens wont mind me sitting here
<DeathStar> <Shion> Well, Lumi can bring you up to speed on a few things
<DeathStar> 6* Shion pats Miyuki as she steps out.
<Seraphna> Alita> "Is it at least a beat one can dance to?"
<DeathStar> 6* Lumi leans over and opens various sheets, going over them
<DeathStar> <Celes> There's nothing wrong
<Sara> * Liana tilts her head curiously at Celes
<DeathStar> 6* Celes gives Liana a kiss
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *gives Alita a look*
<GhostChain> 6*Miyuki settles in as the kittens pounce Lumi
<Seraphna> * Alita flutters her eyelashes.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ceilia giggles at Alita
<Sathen> 6*Mykel will glance between them* <Easy dear...it's not your people who are vying for war. Remind me, why didn't I challenge Jules before the vote?>
<Kemonohime> * Kasha rides Shion's shoulder
<Seraphna> Alita> <You're not a fan of being all royal?>
<Sathen> 6*Mykel nods to himself* <Indeed.>
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Regardless, word has reached me that my aunt has amde moves against Kumen."
<DeathStar> 6* Lumi flails a bit, dog ears poofing
<DeathStar> 6* Shion walks into the lobby area
<Sathen> Mykel> "Aye, and my so-called cousin has sided with her. Love how word travels don't you?"
<Seraphna> Alita> "How is she managing that?"
<Sara> * Liana looks at Sasha with a frown as she listens
<GhostChain> 6*the kittens paw at her and mew loudly in triumph
<GhostChain> <Miyuk> oh my the kittens are so fierce
<DeathStar> <Shion> I see you are talking about the situation
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "I do not know the full de-ah, headmistress."
<Seraphna> Alita> "Undoubtably we form the only team that has a chance at a diplomatic resolution to this."
<Sathen> 6*Mykel rises to his feet after Shion has entered, nodding to her* "So far as the few details we know of, yes."
<Seraphna> * Alita points out gently, her finger singling out Sasha, Mykel and Gwen. "Considering how many people personally related to the situation we have."
<DeathStar> <Sasha> More like you have one person
<Kemonohime> * Vyvy kicks something in the background, snarling
<DeathStar> *Shion
<DeathStar> 6* Spira yelps
<DeathStar> 6* Shion sits down
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> Stupid Askan lapdogs
<DeathStar> <Shion> Right now, the Legion has joined with the Hapians. That means they have a foot in the door with whatever is going on, and we could use that
<Sathen> 6*Mykel sits back down* "So what is it that you know that hasn't reached us yet? And what are you hoping for?"
<DeathStar> <Shion> And you are related to the Legion family, Mykel
<DeathStar> <Shion> We could use that inside knowledge
<DeathStar> <Shion> As for new information, it seems that the Naturalists, despite the hate for the Hapians in the past, are thinking about joining the Hapian Alliance, due to their hatred of Kumen being greater, and the fact the Hapians are no longer mining, as well as the Plant Kingdoms
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> Gnome would not agree to this!
<Seraphna> Alita> "Seems hatred of Kumen is becoming a unifying force."
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Its a dangerous game they play..."
<DeathStar> <Shion> You forget, the spirits do not rule the area, they just advise
<Sathen> Mykel> "Where do you suggest we start trying to get this inside information to quell the rising tide?"
<DeathStar> <Shion> However, we have time to try to convince them otherwise. I've sent units to the other groups to try to dissuade them
<DeathStar> 6* Shion deadpans a little at Mykel
<Sathen> Mykel> "My cousin then?"
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> I haven't forgotten anything, if they go to war, whether the spirits agree or not they'll be collateral damage!
<DeathStar> 6* Gwen fidgets a little. Karen presses her face against her glass cage
<DeathStar> 6* Listening in
<Kemonohime> * Vyvy blinks at Karen being in a cage
<DeathStar> <Shion> I'll leave it to you and your commander how to get into your family's good graces.
<DeathStar> 6* Shion rises, dusting her clothing
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Of course, headmistress."
<DeathStar> <Karen> Can I come along?
<DeathStar> 6* Shion nods her head, stepping out
<DeathStar> 6* Lumi designs Miyuki a robotic body to use for when she wants to leave the office
<Seraphna> Alita> *sits back and muses* Well by not challenging Jules, Mykel does sort of already have those good graces. He left his right to rule unopposed."
<DeathStar> 6* Handing her the controls
<GhostChain> 6*the kittens paw at Lumi more, finding her way more fun to play with
<GhostChain> <Miyuki> a robotic fox?
<DeathStar> 6* Lumi poofs into her dog form, pawing back
<kalonZombie> <Ceilia> This is true.
<DeathStar> <Lumi> *nods*
<Sathen> Mykel> "Off the top of my head the first thing that comes to mind that would ingratiate myself would be word on some sort of advancement in getting Hapes and Qui married."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> If he did that, then the alliance with Hapian might end
<DeathStar> 6* Gwen gives Mykel a withering look
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "I confess, I do wish Commodus were here to offer his insight as well."
<Sathen> Mykel> "Which I'm not suggesting mind you..."
<DeathStar> <Karen> *from her cage* I bet the marriage thing would cement us in immediately
<Sara> * Liana peers around at all the conversation
<GhostChain> 6*Miyuki inspects it as the kittens roll happily with Lumi
<DeathStar> 6* Celes muses at the baby book
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Also... Karen... why are you in a cage?"
<DeathStar> 6* It has a camera for Miyuki to view what the robot sees, as well as fighting controls
<DeathStar> <Karen> I was left in here since the incident
<Sathen> Mykel> "Qui had told me before why she hadn't agreed to that when they were working out the peace between the Republic and the Amazon's. I won't suggest anything that would betray her feelings."
<Seraphna> * Alita muses quietly.
<Sathen> Mykel> "As for challenging Jules...it's an option, but I would consider that as a last resort."
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Challenghing Jules could yield more problems."
<Seraphna> Alita> "Including bringing a lot down on our heads. Unfortunately."
<Sathen> Mykel> "It could be viewed as the Academy trying to influence a kingdom directly...and end the neutrality it holds."
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Precisely."
<Kemonohime> * Vyvy sees about unlatching the cage
<Sara> * Liana glances at Celes
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> I thought I asked about you getting out after our talk
<DeathStar> 6* Karen steps out and smiles at Vyvy
<Kemonohime> * She squints
<DeathStar> <Karen> I think I was forgotten
<Sathen> Mykel> "So, at this point, suggestions?"
<DeathStar> <Karen> Until you see the current climate, we won't know a real strategy
<DeathStar> 6* She trots over
<Seraphna> Alita> "The marriage idea would sort of throw a wrench in the entire conflict."
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Go to LEgion territory and get an on-the-ground take of the situation."
<DeathStar> <Karen> You should arrive and state you want to see your homeland
<Kemonohime> * Vyvy calls on Salamander
<DeathStar> 6* Salamander arrives, hot
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> Time to head for warmer climates again
<DeathStar> 6* She kisses Vyvy, groping
<Sathen> 6*Mykel nods in agreement, looking at the others*
<Kemonohime> * Vyvy jerks and flails
<DeathStar> <Salamander> Oh?
<Sara> * Liana gently hands Selena to Celes
<DeathStar> 6* Celes holds Selena, nuzzling her. "Becareful, my princess warrior."
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Let's get reayd to travel then. We shall return here and let Salamander take us."
<Seraphna> * Alita grabs her things and Talia. Who carries a large cookie.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ceilia grabs her things and Alita
<DeathStar> 6* Kito and Delgi move over with various things
<Sara> <Liana> Of course, my love. Always. *Liana goes to get her things and returns with them*
<DeathStar> 6* When Liana returns, Celes is measuring Selena's height
<Sara> * Liana blinks
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *goes to change into her armor*
<Sathen> 6*Mykel goes to retrieve a couple of things as well, returning and waiting for the others. Absently reaching to his back to ensure the weapon is sheathed correctly.*
<DeathStar> 6* Salamander toys with Vyvy's body as they wait. Gwen gears up, as does Karen
<DeathStar> <Celes> Oh, h-hello my love
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *walks back out in her mission attire*
<Sara> <Liana> ...Really, Cel. What's the matter?
<Kemonohime> * Vyvy chirps and grabs Karen as a shield
<DeathStar> <Celes> I read that babies aren't suppose to crawl until many many months and our Selena began after a month. So I was worried at how advanced she is, and proud
<DeathStar> 6* Selena babbles, proud
<DeathStar> 6* Karen squeals as she is groped
<DeathStar> <Salamander> Hey!
<DeathStar> 6* Lumi barks and plays with the cubs
<Sara> * Liana blinks and nods. "Well, our little one -is- amazing."
<DeathStar> 6* Celes hugs her. "Good luck."
<kalonZombie> 6*Ceilia whipsers something to Alita
<DeathStar> -TIME HOP-
<DeathStar> 6* After arriving at the capital, the group is escorted by a group of Legionares and then given rooms after they are identified
<DeathStar> 6* There they are made to wait. Thankfully, their rooms connect to a large area
<DeathStar> 6* Gwen studies the art work in the room, while Karen paces
<Seraphna> * Alita lounges with Mykel. <So... my darling sister is wondering when you're going to propose to us.>
<Sathen> 6*Mykel asks one of the guards to relay to both Jules and Hapes that they're there to talk, afterwards he sits between the twins* <It will be a surprise dear one>
<Seraphna> * Alita grins and wraps her tail in Ceilia's.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ceilia's tail curls around Alita's
<Sara> * Liana idly practices her writing while they wait, throwing out a draft
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *does some reading*
<DeathStar> 6* Finally, the doors open and Jules steps in, with his armed escort. He studies the group. "Ah, I never get tired of this group. Is that one firey tempered one here?" *referring to Vyvy*
<DeathStar> 6* Gwen peers over at Jules, while Karen studies him
<Seraphna> Alita> "Mmm? Do you mean our little Vyvy?"
<Sathen> Mykel> "She is up at the mountain with Salamander."
<DeathStar> <Jules> That is too bad, but I understand she is a spirit worshipper
<Seraphna> Alita> "...'Worship' is a word you could use."
<Kemonohime> * Vyvy stares at Mykel
<DeathStar> 6* Jules peers at Alita in confusion
<DeathStar> 6* Gwen shrugs at Vyvy
<Seraphna> * Alita smiles. "But it's accurate at least."
<Kemonohime> * Vyvy then eyes Alita also
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> To hell with all of you
<Kemonohime> * Vyvy crosses her arms and hrmphs
<Seraphna> Alita> "She seems to be here though, and teases easily."
<Seraphna> * Alita giggles.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ceilia smiles and elbows her sister
<Sathen> 6*Mykel stands and looks to Jules squarely* "So cousin...how are things?"
<DeathStar> <Jules> Ah, there she is and with the same firey attitude that I am accustomed to. She would do well here, if you learned to tame that fire
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Ahem." *sets her book aside*
<DeathStar> 6* Jules takes a cup of wine offered to him and sits down in a chair
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> Tame my fire, eh?
<DeathStar> <Jules> Why do you ask? I thought you had little interest in events here
<Kemonohime> * Vyvy smirks slightly, looking around for Salamander
<DeathStar> 6* He sips at the wine
<Sara> * Liana peers around and frowns, offering Vyvy a snack
<DeathStar> 6* Salamander seems to be sulking back at her shrine since Vyvy made her grope another woman
<Seraphna> Alita> "She's done that from time to time."
<DeathStar> 6* Karen studies Jules, trying to get a read on him
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> I think she's pretty well-tamed..
<DeathStar> <Spira> I wonder who did that *She notes dryly* Of course if she heard you say that, you'd be fried
<Kemonohime> * Vyvy grins, hugging Spira.
<Sathen> 6*Mykel returns to his seat, but stays leaned forward* "I have no interest in running things or challenging the family, but it's been suggested that I should at least try to get along with you."
<DeathStar> 6* Spira meows, tail wagging
<DeathStar> <Jules> Oh, by who? Your bosses?
<Seraphna> Alita> "Mmm, and his friends. Family is important."
<Sathen> Mykel> "No...by my partner."
<Seraphna> * Alita smiles softly at that.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ceilia smiles, wrapping an arm around Mykel and Alita
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "I hold hope that your family will have more unity and prosperity than my own."
<DeathStar> 6* Jules smiles slightly, as if he finds that hard to believe. "Of course. Well, when I am not so busy, I'll arrange for a little family outings."
<DeathStar> 6* He drains his glass.
<DeathStar> 6* Jules hops up. "If you will all excuse me."
<Sathen> 6*Mykel smiles* "I would like that, thank you."
<Kemonohime> * Vyvy grows impatient
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> Are you seriously thinking about war?
<Seraphna> * Alita holds back a sigh.
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> /Again/?
<DeathStar> 6* Jules turns, then a slightly cocky smile. "Ah, so the truth comes out."
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> You never had any doubt, so why mince words both directions
<Sathen> 6*Mykel stands as well, looking to Vyvy like she's daft*
<Sara> * Liana frowns as she peers at Vyvy and Jules
<DeathStar> <Jules> Direct, I can respect that.
<DeathStar> <Jules> The Legion has entered an Alliance to protect our world. If you see that as war, then yes.
<DeathStar> <Jules> Now, I think our time is done
<DeathStar> 6* Jules steps out, waving his hand for his guards to back him up
<Seraphna> Alita> "How is war with one of our world's country's an act of protection?"
<Sathen> 6*Mykel nods as Jules steps out*
<DeathStar> 6* The guard's close the door after him
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *raises a hand to call for silence from her group as Jules leaves*
<Seraphna> * Alita sighs and closes her eyes.
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Uh, war with who, Alita?
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "His wording was quite illuminating."
<DeathStar> <Karen> The Legion and the Hapians are forming an alliance to protect Geyze
<Sathen> 6*Mykel squeezes Alita's arm reassuringly* "I agree, interesting phrasing."
<Seraphna> Alita> "And exactly what will that protection entail..."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Well, according to Shion, Kumen did try to vote to attack us
<Seraphna> Alita> "Mmm... trying to vote to do something and doing it are different things... are we going to be the ones to attack now?"
<DeathStar> <Karen> The question is what do they see as protecting
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "The Legion's part in the alliance is defensive, based on what Jules has stated. The question is what my aunt might do."
<Seraphna> Alita> "Oh I can imagine removing any elements they conveniently see as rogue to their desires might be involved."
<Sara> <Liana> So long as one person believes in a cause, it lives. This goes both ways. A vote would happen even if the suggestion were more absurd, I think. *she says softly* But I don't know what to think when it comes to the Empress Hapian. *she admits*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> We don't know enough about the Hapian side of things since we aren't in the inner circle
<Sathen> Mykel> "Unfortunately, I remember what Jules has done in the past in order to 'protect' the Legion..."
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> Yes, for once I don't feel like uppercutting the bastard.
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> We're barking up the wrong tree.
<Seraphna> Alita> "Then I suggest we try a bit harder to get in."
<DeathStar> <Karen> We also should find out how involved the spirits are - we can assume Aska is due to Eve
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "What happened in the past was a third party escalating things on both sides, trying to get the Legion and Amazons to destroy each other."
<Kemonohime> * Vyvy crosses her arms, clicking her tongue. "The Legion will not be the spear, but the shield and sword"
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Vyvy has Salamander's ear."
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> The one to light hte fuse will be either the Hapian or Kumen.
<Seraphna> Alita> "Still, the Legion will have some idea what Hapian plans."
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> I don't see Ask and the Hapian royalty as the very including when it comes to their planning.
<Seraphna> Alita> "So trying harder to restore family ties and... not uppercutting the man we need to become friends with... may help."
<kalonZombie> 6*Ceilia nods
<Sara> * Liana shrugs, with Sasha in whatever she may choose
<DeathStar> <Gwen> A shame we do not have enough bait to get Jules. Maybe we should try the younger brother
<Seraphna> Alita> "Maybe Mykel needs to do it in a more personal meeting."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> I do not think we can reach Jules anymore.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "YEs, this is Mykel's stage."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Not without offering something big
<Seraphna> * Alita looks to Gwen. "Why not?"
<Kemonohime> * Vyvy deadpans at Gwen. "Something big? You're not going to suggest I marry him or something, are you?"
<DeathStar> <Gwen> He basically knows we are here information gathering. He has no reason to incline us and we have been aggressive to him multiple times in the past
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> I love you, Gwen, but I'd smack even you for that.
<DeathStar> <Gwen> I don't think he would take you, Vyvy, sorry. Jules looks toward forward progression
<DeathStar> <Gwen> The fact he went after my sister with his brother indicates that
<Sathen> 6*Mykel looks between them and nods* "We unfortunately tipped our hand too early...so Jules isn't likely to be forthcoming with more information."
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> Yes, we both do. But in different ways." She looks aside.
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> We tipped nothing. The man is incorrigible, not stupid. He knew why we were here.
<Seraphna> Alita> *sits back and sighs* "Vyvy is actually right here, he didn't believe Mykel for a moment there. It was plain on his face and in his eyes."
<Sathen> Mykel> "So the best bet would be to talk with Hapes, wherever he may be..."
<Seraphna> Alita> "He MIGHT believe it if Mykel said... perhaps, that he wanted to establish power here as one of the family."
<Seraphna> Alita> "I imagine that level of narcisism in him. Anyway. But... what would it take to speak to Jules?"
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> What an engagement present, Alita, asking your sweetheart to lay his neck out to the Legion's axe.
<DeathStar> <Karen> *steps outside to talk to a guard, using her daemon charm, being one of the noble daemons, so she has the lilin powers too, then walks back in*
<DeathStar> 6* Gwen keeps quiet, knowing one way
<Seraphna> Alita> "Not sure how you reached that conclusion."
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *takes a deep breath* "Karen, what did you learn?"
<Sathen> 6*Mykel doesn't look to Gwen, sharing the same thoughts possibly on the 'how'*
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> I want to call on Aska..
<DeathStar> <Karen> Hapes is still here in the palace. It seems since he returned from the Amazon Lands, he has been staying in the palace, learning various things
<DeathStar> <Gwen> We'd need your summon master for that
<Seraphna> Alita> "Can we appeal to him for an audience directly?"
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> There's no point... she wouldn't answer me anyway. But I think I have another option, it will take some time though.
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> I'll call on all of them. I think it's about time the Great Spirits shared their own words on the future and finally began to understand one another.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...and what would you ask Aska?"
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> As a whole; not just the handful in my 'harem' as you put it.
<DeathStar> <Gwen> If she's under Eve's control, she might not be able to
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> Precisely.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "We're not ready for Aska yet."
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> And surely the rest of the Great Spirits have something to weigh in on that.
<DeathStar> <Karen> You want me to ask the guard to send a note to Hapes, or wait?
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> But it also means... my love." She mumbles.
<Sathen> Mykel> "Right now I think that's premature as well...a message to Hapes is the best bet right now."
<Kemonohime> * Vyvy shrugs at Mykel.
<DeathStar> 6* Karen jots a note down to Hapes, asking him to come see Mykel
<Seraphna> Alita> "We should focus on what we can do now, not what will take time. I say we try to contact Hapes."
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> There is nothing for me here... I'm only a turbulent presence.
<DeathStar> <Gwen> I doubt that. Hapes is an honest guy
<DeathStar> <Gwen> You two got along well at the Amazon capital for the short time he was there
<Kemonohime> * Vyvy nods.
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> I'm not saying I'd punch him. Sheesh, Gwen, how low of an opinon of me do you have now?
<Seraphna> Alita> I daresay he probably values your straightforward attitude. But yes, let's not keep considering hitting royalty for now.
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> I'm saying with war on the brink, I want the Great Spirits informed and able to act, not just react if something goes bad.
<DeathStar> <Gwen> *flusters* I--don't think that. I was trying to cheer you up
<DeathStar> 6* Gwen hangs his head - he'll never get women
<Kemonohime> * Vyvy smiles, reaching up to stroke Gwen's face.
<Sara> * Liana glances between Gwen and Vyvy then hugs Gwen
<DeathStar> 6* Gwen flusters at the two
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> Thank you, friend.
<DeathStar> 6* There's a knock at the door and Hapes walks in, peering at Mykel
<DeathStar> <Hapes> You wrote me, cousin? *He peers at the girly writing*
<Sathen> 6*Mykel looks to Hapes as he enters, bowing his head slightly* "Not me directly, but on my behalf. It's good to see you again cousin."
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *rises* "Let us leave them to get re-acquianted again."
<Sara> * Liana nods to Sasha
<Sathen> Mykel> "Would you be willing to talk with me for a bit? Perhaps ask a few questions?"
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *moves to another part of the guest quarters*
<Sara> * Liana follows after Sasha
<DeathStar> <Hapes> Of course. We haven't really gotten to know each other
<DeathStar> 6* Karen and Gwen follow along
<Sathen> 6*Mykel indicates one of the open chairs, hoping Hapes will sit*
<DeathStar> 6* Sasha finds Kito and Delgi pinning each other in the room, Kito spanking Delgi
<Seraphna> * Alita looks between them. "Should I excuse myself?"
<DeathStar> 6* The two peer up at Sasha and immediately hop up
<DeathStar> 6* Hapes sits down; he looks a bit tired these days
<kalonZombie> 6*Ceilia also looks between the two
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...what are you doing?"
<DeathStar> <Kito> N-nothing ma'am. <Delgi> Cleaning
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *raises a brow*
<DeathStar> 6* They go back to organizing
<DeathStar> 6* Gwen holds his nose, having watched it
<DeathStar> 6* He stumbles to a chair in the room
<DeathStar> 6* Karen whispers to Sasha
<DeathStar> <Karen> I think Kito was trying to domme the other one
<Sathen> 6*Mykel sits across from him, looking to Alita and Ceilia nodding* <Sorry dear one, but I'm not sure what will come of this...>
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *nods wordlessly*
<Seraphna> * Alita smiles and rises. "We look forward to seeing you later, Ser Hapes."
<Sathen> Mykel> "I need your help cousin."
<DeathStar> <Hapes> I hope to see you two more later
<kalonZombie> 6*Ceilia smiles and rises as well "And I you
<Seraphna> * Alita curtsies and steps out with Ceilia.
<DeathStar> <Hapes> Help?
<kalonZombie> 6*She takes Alita's hand and steps out with her
<Seraphna> <Alita> <Honesty is likely the best path with him. Our intentions are peaceful after all.>
<DeathStar> 6* Gwen stumbles right into the twins' path, face in their breasts. He passes out
<kalonZombie> <Ceilia> Awww, he passed out from a motorboa
<kalonZombie> t
<kalonZombie> 6*Yes, the term persists, though Ceilia has no idea what a motorboat actually is
<Sathen> Mykel> "I...I want to understand Jules better and what he's planning with this alliance to Hapian."
<DeathStar> *motorspin, there*
<Seraphna> * Alita sighs and helps Ceilia being Gwen to a bed.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ceilia tucks him in, and doesn't take advantage of him at all
<DeathStar> <Hapes> *looks uneasy* Really, that should be between you and him if he wants to talk about it. He's the leader of the Legion
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *takes a seat* "Prepare some tea, Kito."
<Sathen> Mykel> "He was here earlier. When he realized what we were looking to learn he left."
<DeathStar> 6* Kito does so
<Sara> * Liana relaxes and resumes writing
<DeathStar> <Karen> Anyone plan to summon the summon here to see if that helps?
<DeathStar> <Hapes> *spreads his hands* Then that says everything, doesn't it, Mykel?
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> Helps what?
<DeathStar> <Karen> Learn anything
<Seraphna> Alita> "As you said before, we don't know what the summons feel on all this yet. Finding out may help."
<Kemonohime> * Vyvy shrugs and sees if Salamander is done sulking
<Seraphna> Alita> <Explain why you want to know. That you're concerned for peace.>
<DeathStar> 6* Salamander is busy commanding a few things and checking in on people with firey passions
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Salamander only at first. My observation has been that summoning outside of their sphere tends to leave spirits uncomfortable."
<Sathen> Mykel> "It tells me that Jules may have ideas of how to 'protect' Geyze that aren't necessarily the best for everyone."
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> Apparently she's busy-- or huffy with me.
<Seraphna> Alita> "Well... ask her over nicely?"
<Kemonohime> * Vyvy glances at Alita, then twitches slightly.
<DeathStar> <Hapes> *frowns a little* I trust my brother and agree with him on this. I've helped him temper things. I know your Academy is concerned with things over all, but this is Legionare business
<DeathStar> 6* Salamander definitely is open for cals
<DeathStar> (or was that a call?)
<Kemonohime> (Well, yeah.)
<DeathStar> 6* Salamander poofs over and gropes Vyvy hard
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> Aieee!
<DeathStar> <Salamander> Yes, my little sex toy?
<Seraphna> Alita> <Don't press him too hard. Also ask about him, why he's tired. If it becomes personal he may open up more.>
<DeathStar> <Hapes> I am sure your Legion tamae will inform the Academy before we make any major moves
<DeathStar> 6* He pats Mykel
<Sathen> Mykel> "I'm trying to understand my family Hapes...to be a part of it. Isn't that why you sent me my father's armor? To include me?"
<DeathStar> <Hapes> I sent it to you because it's part of your legacy. But you have to understand, you're part of another organization. That doesn't necessarily mean I'm going to tell you state secrets, Mykel.
<DeathStar> <Hapes> Like I said, we'll inform your group before we do anything that will affect other groups.
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> W-We wanted to ask you ab-about the events going on
<DeathStar> <Hapes> We have a treaty with the academy after all
<DeathStar> <Salamander> Hm, of you mean the alliance?
<DeathStar> 6* Salamander plays with Vyvy, while Kito brings the tea over
<Sathen> Mykel> "And is it those secrets that have you working yourself to exhaustion?"
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> U-Uh h-huh
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Thank you, Kito."
<DeathStar> <Hapes> Huh? Oh no. *He waves his hand* Jules is handling that. He's a beast.
<DeathStar> 6* Kito bows
<DeathStar> <Hapes> I just handle the scholarly side
<DeathStar> <Hapes> Look, if you ever quit the Academy, I know Jules would be glad to have you back here working with us
<Sathen> 6*Mykel leans back a bit, trying to ease his tone* "And how is that going? Details aside."
<DeathStar> <Hapes> It's fine. It keeps my mind off of other things
<Sathen> Mykel> "And those other things have you concerned."
<DeathStar> <Hapes> No. They have nothing to do with what you're trying to pry at.
<DeathStar> <Hapes> It's just something I'm trying to forget. And I don't want to talk about
<DeathStar> 6* Hapes stands up and pats Mykel's shoulder. "Look, I'll talk to Jules. If you want to stay here for a few days, we'll show you around, maybe take you around, and we'll visit where your fathered lived and worked at."
<Seraphna> Alita> <Maybe it's Qui? I guess avoid that subject for now.>
<Sathen> 6*Mykel tilts his head to the side slightly, looking at Hapes quizically* "you're still thinking about Qui."
<DeathStar> 6* Hapes makes a face, clearly not a subject he wants to talk about
<Seraphna> <Alita> <I said DON'T do that. I am punishing you later.>
<DeathStar> <Hapes> I have to go.
<DeathStar> <Hapes> We'll see about what I said later
<Sathen> 6*Mykel stands and reaches out to stop him*
<DeathStar> 6* Hapes moves to his guards that are outside, peering at being stopped. The guards tense
<Seraphna> <Alita> <Just give him a hug or something. Be nice.>
<Sathen> Mykel> "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to press something like that."
<DeathStar> <Hapes> It's fine.
<DeathStar> <Hapes> Some things just aren't to be
<Sathen> Mykel> "I spoke with her actually."
<DeathStar> 6* Hapes' face goes blank
<DeathStar> <Hapes> I see
<Sathen> Mykel> "She doesn't hate you."
<DeathStar> <Hapes> That's...nice to know
<Seraphna> * Alita peers about for wine.
<DeathStar> <Hapes> If you'll excuse me
<DeathStar> 6* Hapes steps out with his guards
<Sathen> Mykel> "Of course, I'm sorry Hapes."
<kalonZombie> <Ceilia> I know that look. What is he doing that makes you want to drink?
<Seraphna> Alita> "Being Mykel."
<kalonZombie> <Ceilia> Sweetie you need to be more specific than that.
<Seraphna> Alita> Letting a subject go on a bit too long.
<kalonZombie> <Ceilia> Oh. In that case let me help you find it.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Perhaps you should start him on some elocution lessons."
<DeathStar> 6* Gwen sits up, rubbing his eyes
<DeathStar> <Salamander> Lets see
<DeathStar> <Salamander> I think that it's a good idea. Geyze needs as much protection as it can get. If the planet is hurt with the weapons from Kumen, the spirit energy could bleed out
<DeathStar> <Salamander> So I gave my blessings to Jules and vowed to provide protection
<DeathStar> 6* Salamander nods
<DeathStar> 6* Karen peeks out at Mykel, who is now alone
<Sathen> 6*Mykel settles back into the chair and sighs to himself* "That went...horribly."
<DeathStar> <Karen> Oh?
<DeathStar> 6* She trots out
<DeathStar> <Karen> Well, since Hapes is out of the running, I've been thinking
<DeathStar> <Karen> There is another path we could take. *She says loudly enough those in the other room can hear*
<DeathStar> <Karen> If we aren't going to offer a marriage to Qui to tempt Jules, we could offer a marriage between Sasha and Jules!
<Sathen> Mykel> "Oh? Do tell...so long as it doesn't include bloodshed."
<Sathen> 6*Mykel deadpans at the suggestion*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *sneezes*
<DeathStar> 6* Gwen steps out, rubbing his face, looking tired. "If you are so marriage happy, why not offer yourself? He might not mind being married to Daemon Princess." 6* Karen jerks.
<DeathStar> <Karen> Out of the question
<DeathStar> <Delgi> You are all overthinking this
<DeathStar> 6* Delgi holds up a glass, then resumes cleaning it
<Seraphna> Alita> "Sasha seems like the clear runner."
<DeathStar> <Delgi> Why not have this Qui person simply have her kingdom enter an alliance?
<DeathStar> <Delgi> Then she has her foot in the door
<DeathStar> <Delgi> Mykel can claim he talked her into it if you want to be part of it
<Seraphna> Alita> "...Or that. But marrying Sasha off seems fun."
<DeathStar> 6* Salamander tilts her head
<DeathStar> 6* Gwen peers at Liana during all this
<Sara> * Liana raises an eyebrow.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "I am NOT getting married."
<Sara> <Liana> I'm not even sure what to say here.
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> Sasha's interested in Lady Rain, anyway
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Be glad you married Celes or they might have tried to marry her off
<Seraphna> * Alita giggles.
<DeathStar> <Delgi> No to my idea then? Okay.
<DeathStar> 6* Delgi goes back to polishing
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Ahem, Delgi submit that the Amazon's join the alliance so that they cna influence things from within."
<Sara> <Liana> Well, an alliance doesn't have to mean marriage...
<DeathStar> <Salamander> Hm, married.... *She peers at Vyvy*
<Sara> <Liana> So I suppose it's an option.
<Seraphna> * Talia pounces Delgi and mews.
<Sathen> 6*Mykel stands and moves over to the doorway* "It's an option, would Qui go for it Gwen?"
<DeathStar> 6* Delgi flails
<DeathStar> <Gwen> We would need to travel there and ask
<Seraphna> Taila> "Marry Talia?"
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Only my sister can answer that
<DeathStar> <Delgi> W-what?!
<DeathStar> 6* Kito glowers
<Seraphna> * Talia paws at her.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ceilia pets Talia
<DeathStar> <Karen> Then lets make a quick trip and find out
<DeathStar> <Karen> Salamander, will you do the honors?
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<Sathen> 6*Mykel nods*
<DeathStar> Location: Amazon Capital
<DeathStar> 6* Queen Qui leans back in her chair, peering at them all; she is currently topless, with various painted on tattoos all over her body, her long black hair down to her rear
<DeathStar> 6* Qui studies them as they gather in front of her, smiling at Gwen as she rises and gives him a hug
<Seraphna> Alita> *admires*
<DeathStar> 6* Gwen tries not to look, since all Qui is wearing is a thong like clothing
<Sathen> 6*Mykel bows in greeting, keeping his eyes focused above shoulder level*
<kalonZombie> 6*Ceilia also admires
<DeathStar> <Qui> What brings you all here? *she asks, smiling. She looks around for her favorite Miyuki*
<DeathStar> 6* Karen bows slightly, but not too far; she is a princess
<Sara> * Liana politely doesn't look, but curtseys. Even though she is technically a princess too
<DeathStar> 6* Kito bows, her fox ears twitching. Delgi stares, wondering what is with the get up
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "We came for an audience regarding matters that stir across your borders."
<Sathen> Mykel> "We came to check with you regarding a matter, and whether it is something that bears interest for you."
<DeathStar> <Qui> Oh, you mean the Holy Army and their alliance?
<DeathStar> 6* Qui twirls her staff in thought, not even noticing the pattern she is making
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "That si correct."
<DeathStar> <Qui> I had decided to ignore it, since it seemed war-like
<DeathStar> 6* Salamander, meanwhile, picks a fight, verbally, with Undine
<Kemonohime> * Vyvy eyes the two
<DeathStar> 6* Then the two nod, and decide to molest Vyvy together
<Sathen> Mykel> "We were hoping you might reconsider, in order to work from within the Alliance towards more peaceful ends."
<DeathStar> <Qui> You want me to join the alliance of my old enemies to sabotage it from within?
<DeathStar> <Gwen> And spy on it so you can report on it to us
<DeathStar> <Qui> Hm, many of my Amazons would likely support the alliance you know
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "WE are suggesting it.. though a consultation with the Academy council may be wise before any action is taken."
<Sathen> Mykel> "An Alliance of your peers."
<Kemonohime> * Vyvy jerks, squirming and trying to keep her voice down
<DeathStar> 6* Gwen flusters at the Vyvy noises
<DeathStar> <Qui> Hm. *she closes her eyes* And what would you do next if I decided to join?
<DeathStar> <Gwen> The plan was for Mykel to tell Jules that he talked you into joining, to see if Jules would trust Mykel more
<Kemonohime> <Vvyy> B-Begging y-your pardon m-my queen
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> B-But the idea of the Alliance itself is not an unwholesome o-one
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Ahem."
<DeathStar> 6* Qui nods thoughtfully, moving past Vyvy and smacking her rear with her staff, she grabs her symbol. One would notice the symbol is on Vyvy, on her ass, if one has ever seen Vyvy partially unclothed
<DeathStar> 6* Qui moves over with the golden symbol and drops it into Mykel's hand
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> Protecting Geyze-- u-unifying the people... th-those are noble intentions. W-We merely wish to see it not escalate needlessly i-into worldly conflict, war and unnecessary d-death
<DeathStar> <Qui> Since you are my advisor, I will trust your advice, Vyvy
<Sathen> 6*Mykel catches it, bowing his head to Qui* "Thank you Queen Qui."
<DeathStar> <Qui> Present that symbol to the Legion leader. This will indicate I will join the alliance. He can take the credit then
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *curtsies*
<DeathStar> <Qui> Make sure it is returned to me afterward. It is, after all, a symbol of one who is my agent
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "I hope that your joining does not embolden anyone to attempt to pre-emptively strike at Kumen."
<Sathen> 6*Mykel bows his head* "It will be returned."
<DeathStar> <Qui> As do I. I have allies on Kumen, after all. A group of people who got me a dagger
<DeathStar> 6* Qui points at a picture that is not a painting
<DeathStar> 6* It shows a group of club owners
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "One question... my curiosity gnaws at me. Your attire..."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Hey, we ran into them one other time
<DeathStar> <Qui> Oh, this? *She peers down* This is what I wear during ritual time. You caught me right before I was about to perform one
<Sara> <Liana> Huh. Yeah... *she says after Gwen's remark*
<Sathen> 6*Mykel secures the symbol in a pocket, looking to the others*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Then we had best let you go."
<DeathStar> <Qui> Good luck to you all
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Location: Legionare Throne Room
<DeathStar> 6* Jules stands there, having agreed to meet them; Hapes is nowhere in sight, despite having promised to set up some family time
<DeathStar> <Jules> More family time, Mykel? Did you bring the cute flame girl?
<DeathStar> 6* He peers around for Vyvy, as if entertained by her
<DeathStar> 6* Gwen hides Vyvy
<DeathStar> <Jules> *hands one of his guards a message, and he moves over, handing it to Vyvy*
<Sathen> 6*Mykel steps forward and bows his head slightly, never taking his eyes from Jules* "She's here, but not quite the reason for this request."
<DeathStar> <Jules> Oh?
<DeathStar> <Jules> You look quite serious, cousin
<Sathen> Mykel> "The Alliance of Kingdoms here on Geyze, you're still waiting for word from the Amazons correct?"
<DeathStar> 6* The message is an offer for Vyvy to become one of Jules mistresses. Apparantly it's a good life, with lots of..benefits
<DeathStar> <Jules> I have no idea if the Hapians are or not. I have given up on them personally after they rejected my proposals with Hapes
<DeathStar> 6* He sounds a little bitter, having had signed various contracts and treaties with Qui to save face, but having wanted a marriage alliance with the Amazons for some reason
<DeathStar> 6* Gwen, eyeing the message to Vyvy, hides Liana
<Sathen> 6*Mykel removes the symbol Qui had given from his pocket, keeping it hidden in the palm of his hand* "You can contact the Hapians and tell them that the Amazons have agreed to join."
<DeathStar> <Jules> Oh? I find that a little hard to believe cousin. The young queen does not seem to be like her mother.
<Sara> * Liana jerks, wondering what's going on
<Sathen> Mykel> "Given that their joining will be coming through you, a former adversary, the Hapian's will likely think highly of your abilities...wouldn't they?"
<DeathStar> <Jules> I suppose so, if that were true. 6* He muses, then peers at Mykel shrewdly. "What are you getting at, cousin? And what is in your hand?"
<Sathen> 6*Mykel opens his hand and shows the symbol* "Especially when a member of your family has secured this as their pledge?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jules takes the symbol, studying it, then looks at Mykel seriously. "So you convinced the young queen to join the alliance, did you."
<Sathen> Mykel> "For family."
<DeathStar> 6* He seems to muse for a moment or two, then places two hands on Mykel's shoulder. "You are more Legionare than I gave you credit for." 6* He peers at the rest of his team, then pulls Mykel aside and leads him away. "Come, let us talk."
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "And let us retire to our quarters."
<DeathStar> 6* The guard leads Vyvy along, assuming she was struck silent by the offer
<Sathen> 6*Mykel follows after*
<DeathStar> 6* Taking her to her new living quarters
<DeathStar> -END-
* Sathen has quit IRC
