Swede frowns. "I can hurt them because life is a bitch. The world hurts people. Am I supposed to be better than the world?"
The tall, gaunt, pale, and frowning cowboy named Black comes to stand behind Swede, who doesn't appear to take much note of the fact.

Gordon smiles and walks to
Gordon's Office
Once again, Gordon walks to his desk and faces the Operative, the wall of lava still silently flowing down at the back of the office.
"It's nice to have things done quickly. So, let me see it."

[Gordon's Office]
The briefcase, unless stopped, floats onto the desk and opens itself. Gordon will see the three syringes he gave the Operative, all filled quite nicely with blood.
-
Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury
Gordon's Office
Gordon picks up one of the syringes.
"Very good. So then, since your members are freed, would you prefer gold or gems."
(I can't remember what exactly Gordon said he would pay. I know it was the members, but there was something else.)
-
Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury
[Gordon's Office]
((I don't think Gordon said he'd pay anything else.))
"Gold would be preferable." The Operative waits for Gordon to decide on his payment, though.
-
Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury
(Oh well, Gordon doesn't remember everything.)
Gordon's Office
"Gold it is then."
Gordon turns around, and a part of the floor opens up, with three bags of gold rising up.
"I hope you are able to carry all that."
-
Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury
[Gordon's Office]
((Not like the Operative's gonna remind him now.))
The specter moves his hand over the bags of gold. It's partially for show, of course. The bags start to float, under the Operative's psychic influence. "It should be little trouble."

"Living is suffering, eventually we will all feel it. That much is true. I think it's what we do to deal with it that matters however. I heard about people with a similar life philosophy but they had a rather different conclusion. Does hurting other people make you feel better?" Dawn asks.
-
Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury
[Main Room 1]
"Not at all. I'm not a sicko." Swede tips up the brim of his hat. "Tobacco, whiskey, and women are what make me feel good. Same as any other man."
-
Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury
Gordon's Office
"Very good then. Perhaps we can do business again."
-
Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury
[Gordon's Office]
"Perhaps. Ideally, the next time we do business will be under less stressful circumstances." The Operative moves to go.
-
Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury

"I hope so too."
Gordon remains seated, but gives a wave goodbye.
-
Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury

The Operative gives a nod in response, and leaves the office. Unless someone wants to interact with him, he'll be leaving the base as well.

"So the search of pleasure without regard of other peoples feelings or needs. I talked to a succubus and she wanted pretty much the same thing. Do you think the rest of AMEN's members have similar agendas Swede?" Dawn continues asking.
-
Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury
[Main Room 1]
Swede shrugs. "Maybe they do, and maybe they don't. I don't much care what they think, really. But if I had to guess, I'd imagine some do."

"Jasper, hey." Legion grins at him. "Maaaaybe we oughta get outta here. You get the videos?" She looks around nervously for the Hatteress.

Elsewhere, Black might just run into Jack. The sunken-eyed man straightens his pinstripe jacket and grins, all grey and white. "Hey stranger. New guy?"
-
Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury

"I understand." Dawn replies softly, "Thanks for talking to me, it was enlightening. Could you perhaps point out another member I might want to talk to before I go though?"

Since the Operative is dealt with by Gordon, Zefir can leave the entrace and retunr to the Main Room. He heads over for the TV and starts watching.

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury

Swede shrugs. "'Fraid not. I'm slightly new around here. Don't know too many folks. But I've heard about Tin Man. You know, Magtok? Might be worth talking to him."

"I reckon." Black eyes Jack critically. Black himself is a tall, thin fellow in black clothes, the most prominent is a long black duster. Cold eyes look out form underneath the brim of a battered tall hat.

Two riders stormed across the dust mesa. Vire and Modarmaskin had finally returned, and empty handed at that. Weary and bloodied from their fight, they move towards the gang's hideout.

"I'm pretty sure Magtok has his cave near the city, doesn't he? Maybe we could go there and chat with him." Tom says, finally speaking. Yanna remains quiet for now though.

Now that the party has died down some, Rocid has decided to risk coming back to AMEN to see what chaos he can stir up. Hopefully no one other than Magtok saw what he did to Gordon back there.
Hm? Oh right, descriptions. He's wearing a suede leather trenchcoat, a pair of beat up jeans, and a grimey t-shirt that looks like it had rats living in it at one point. And there's a sharpie behind his ear...
Way to go incognito there 'Cid.
Any of the newcomers might notice him on his way by, he's just headed for the couch until something interesting happens.
-
Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury

"Maybe we could Tom." Dawn says with a thoughtful expression. "I rather talk to someone else while we are here however. We should take a look around to see other people. This is quite interesting don't you think?"
-
Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury
[Main Room 1]
"I don't see a problem with doing that," He says simply enough.

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury
Main Room
There's somebody right there that Dawn could talk to. The person in question is child-like, with snow-white wings, pale skin and silver-blonde hair. They are androgynous, in addition to being angelic; it's impossible to tell if this figure is male or female. That's because she's neither. Her eyes are solid white orbs, with no visible iris or pupil, though they somehow contain a glimmer of cruelty. If Dawn notices this figure, it waves.
The being is an Angel, and a member of the Celestial Chorus; though she has since Fallen to evil and is the only one of that sacred band to do so.

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury
[Main Room 1]
The deva looks around the room, unsure which of these persons she should talk to.
There was Zefir (whom I don't know what he looks like) and the man in the leather trench coat who reminded her a bit about Swede. Then finally something she recognized a possible incarnation of an angel.
Was that a fallen one?
Dawn carefully approaches it as it waves. "Greetings, could I have a moment of your time please? I just like to ask a few questions." She could talk to the other two later as she simply had to communicate with this being.

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury

"Of course. I am Nephrim, a general in the armies of Pazuzu." Pazuzu is the Demon Lord of the Air, Winged Creatures and the Sky, so if Dawn knows the name she also now knows that Nephrim has Fallen.
-
Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury
Main Room 1
"I see, I'm Dawn, general of none." The deva replies, Nephrim's words only confirming her suspicions, the name did sound familiar.
"You are an angel yes? Or what do you consider yourself as?" She starts.
-
Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury
Main Room 1
"I suppose I think of myself as an angel, but I Fell a very long time ago; so long, I've been a Fallen for longer than I was an angel by a large margin. So I suppose I'm a demon now. It depends on how you categorise things, really." Nephrim doesn't really think about what she is; it's enough for her that she is.
-
Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury
[Main Room 1]
"So how did you 'fall'? I was once an angel myself actually so we might have something in common." Of course Dawn didn't fall, she just choose to become mortal-ish.

It's worth noting that Cyrus is still on the couch, only now he's no longer working on a wand, but seems to be playing catch with a Zombie. Using that Zombie's head as the ball.
