"1. The Portal will be created here. You will get a map that'll help you find the temple the doomsday device is in, and you will bring the powering device here within the day. Otherwise it'll be worthless."
"Oh, and you have to look like normal people while you're getting it, or the deal's off."

"Well that clears things up. No transformations. How about Magic and Above human strength? Are those usable?"
Damian asks as the team gets into position waiting for the portal to open. Time to start a semi-covert OP or at least an SF mission.

"Nope. You've got to appear to be normal humans. Because the President wants a win for the U.S."

"That's basically what He is offering you- anything you want, He will supply." He's a god, what He can't do isn't worth doing. Or probably is worth more done without a god's assistance, but the same can be said for most of what He can do, too.

I would like you to meet Huevo Portero. He sort of a consultant of mine.
The new guy that the mad thing warped in is bit of an odd picture. Long white hair, blank dull red eyes, red jacket with white tie and white pants and two gold bracelets to round it out the sort of odd colors.
"Hello it is good to meet you. Dark Lord has told me that you are looking for more assents for your group. I believe I can be of help in that department, it also asked me, for help in a project of it’s."
I also got you bike.

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLIV: Beware Falling Flowers
[Ilpholin - Somewhere in Time and Space]
"I suppose a bike would cut the time it takes to go to Riverside and back in half." Ilpholin says. Not that she ever intends to ride a bike. She'd much prefer to have her feet on the ground, prepared to react to any sudden danger.
"We are looking for assets, yes." She says, nodding to Huevo. "What project do you mean and how do you think you can help?"
-
Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLIV: Beware Falling Flowers
Dark Lord is seeking to revive aka summon an other associate of it's. However Dark Lord is lacking in some of the key components. As for my part, I am only a minor tactical assent but long term, I believe myself to be good support person, Miss Ilpholin. However I will require payment for my services. Dark Lord has already payed for my assistance for his project, helping you would require a different agreement of payment and for what services.
Come on I even supped the bike up. It will do more than cut the time in half.

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLIV: Beware Falling Flowers
[Ilpholin - Somewhere in Time and Space]
"Thank you." She tells the Dark Lord. Even if she herself doesn't plan on riding the bike, she's more than certain she can find a use for it that's of benefit to AMEN.
This guy, however... "So, I can hire you to do things. What about you makes you more valuable than the members who already do things for free?"
-
Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLIV: Beware Falling Flowers
Most beings can't grant limited wishes about 20 times a day. There are a fair number of beings that can grant more powerful wishes but most of them don't do it as often. However like many that grant wishes all I can do is for others. People tend to find that ability useful. Also Dark Lord has informed me that I would perform the asked for actions with much less back talk or complaining.
So Ilpholin you going to help me with my project. You don't have to hire Huevo, but I will still work on this.
-
Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLIV: Beware Falling Flowers
"Hmmm... interesting. Though I'd prefer a Moff never found out. What sort of price are you looking at for your wishes?" Ilpholin asks.
"I might help the project. Depends on what other associate you're talking about and what ingredients you're looking for." She needs a bit more information, and is understandably wary of helping the thing in the walls with summoning a roommate.

"**** you. Wear something else, then," Orrey snarls, clenching his fist hard enough to break the skin, his face contorting into a manic mask. Suddenly, he holds his hands out open-palmed, breathing deep through his nose, shutting his eyes. The place where his nails cut his hand becomes visible. "Sorry. Sorry. I-I don't like being threatened. Okay? It's okay." When they open again, they're not quite as glazed - there's still that strange hatred searing the inside of his skull.

Isabelle ponders the new suggestion of ferrets. She's never thought of anything to do with ferrets, but then she's never really had to worry about spying devices and the like herself.
"Once I've finished my work on an animal, making further changes is...difficult. That, and little Cedric here is my dear friend, I couldn't bear to have him wandering around the base and not at my side."
How would she ever get by without her hideous demon-squirrel of doom? Maggy! How could you suggest such a thing, you fiend?
"Well, um, the technology stuff in Nexus isn't something I'm particularly familiar with, so I might need a few pointers with this one. But it should be easy enough to adjust a ferret so its teeth are capable of biting through much tougher stuff, and allow its digestive system to handle such a thing. I'd have to improve its hearing too so it could listen in on conversations more easily. The major challenge I suppose would be giving the little thing enough of an intelligence boost that it can carry out such a complicated task. I might have to make separate ferrets for listening and rat-catching. "
"I can probably provide such pointers, yeah. Or Megan can, if you'd prefer working with the mechano-panthers' designer. Oh, and it looks like Ilpholin is back, so if she's not busy, you could go straight to that interview thing. Just tell her what you told me and you should pass effortlessly."
Magtok nods, screaming himself hoarse within the silent confines of his own mind, screeching blasphemies at every last man, woman, child, man-woman, gender-neutral sentient being, and godling for this wretched fate. Cedric just has to be her favorite, doesn't he? It couldn't have been a cute bunny with super-bouncing turbo-legs, or an iguana with laser eyes, or something else considerably less menacing, no, it has to be the awful scary nightmare beast.

"I probably will, in a minute or so, but since I don't have a time machine handy to prove that, sure, come right in."
Magtok sounds terribly exasperated, but given that there was an entire crowd of Moffs gyrating around in leather outside his door, and he just finished sorting out a bunch of magical thugs with a religious bent and a tendency towards shirtlessness, that's probably no big surprise to anyone.

"I'm Jeanne, of the First Circle. Nice to meet you," Jeanne says. She has a faint aura of lust that she can't completely suppress. "I was thinking of joining up, but wanted to talk to a few of the members first to see if I'll fit in okay."

Isabelle nods and stands up. "Well, thank you for your assistance. Cedric and I are both very grateful, aren't we Cedric?" Isabelle asks the squirrel, stroking his chin.
Cedric shows his gratefulness by shrieking at Maggy again as Isabelle walks out of the room.
And a little while later, Isabelle finds herself outside Ilpholin's Office, and knocks.

"No. He can grant a Wish, but He cannot effect Earth in any way as it's the opposite of His purview. Should you want precious metals or stones, He will supply you with them from His treasury." Likewise, if Dalachrech did the same thing, He would only be able to affect a vertebrate that willingly put itself under His power and let Him change it, but He could force a change on an invertebrate as it is what He mystically represents.

"Huh. I'm surprised to see you here. I thought you'd be living with your wives in the Nest? And... not looking... like that?"
From what I remember, it said that she had some sort of urgent business which prevented her from attending, which was perfectly reasonable considering that she'd just taken over AMEN. So not terribly obvious, no.
"Wife, actually. Ashley teleported away at the altar," the vampire explains quietly, voice controlled, and her expression almost certainly unreadable, given her inhuman facial structure. "And I fail to see why living with Zwei should prevent me from being a member.
As for my appearance, I was out hunting before I came, and I thought it best to stay in a form suited to combat. Given the recent upheavals, it seemed possible that there was... unrest."

The price scales with number of wishes required to preform the desired action. The first price is something monetary, the rest are a more costly.
What I want is if a collection of ideas, made solid. Ideas about mirrors, I got lot of parts already, but I'll need about 3 things. Blood, both willing and forcely taken, a symbol of pride, and one of self reflection.
I'll do the willing blood, but I have none.:smallbiggrin:

"There has been little unrest." Ilpholin informs her.
"But there is a problem. A major problem." Ilpholin says with a sigh. "See, you have ties with HALO. Extreme ties. To the point where you've personally admitted to me that you leaked AMEN information to HALO to protect it." Ilpholin pauses here to let Karyana reply.
[Ilpholin's Office - Isabelle]
"Come in." Ilpholin says as the door opens for the Mistress of Mutations. Ilpholin sits behind her desk and motions for Isabelle to take a seat.
[A Space in Time]
First hit is practically free. But for now, Ilpholin simply addresses the thing in the walls.
"And which associate would you be helping with this project?"

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLIV: Beware Falling Flowers
Any one of AMEN. once, it's back, anyform anyone, it can look, act think like. Attacks on it will be reflected back, almost perfectly. See through mirrors and even without copying can hold it's own well.
Besides doing this, would make me happy. And if I'm happy things go well.

She just looks somewhat amused. Bemused, even, maybe.

"You want help, that's fine. But don't you dare start throwing out thinly veiled passive-aggressive threats at me and hope to get anything." Ilpholin wants that to be very clear before continuing any further along this discussion.

Huevo backs away from where Ilpholin is standing.
Ok, I'll be plain, I will get help with this from some one in AMEN, with or without your permission or your head.
Eyes start opening from the walls, ceiling. Black threads start waving around the walls.
Your the head of Amen, so I'm asking but you can't beat me by yourself, or with a small army.
:smallbiggrin:But I'm willing to wait awhile. Go have fun.
The eyes close and the threads go back into the walls.
