Re: Generica (Team Potato Tree, Thread III)
"Actually, that plan would be the easiest of all to put into motion. It was only the intervention of Daniel that prevented them from inacting such violence the last time you crossed paths; it would be breaking your agreement, but a fight could surely be arranged with little effort."

Re: Generica (Team Potato Tree, Thread III)
"In all truth, he didn't. He thought we'd blackmail a god. Well, that just doesn't seem plausible, nor does it seem favorable. I don't like blackmailing the good guys. Usually. So naturally, my thought process flipped the equation. If we were not to blackmail a god, we could instead, deal with a demon." Hicchup shifts in place and scratches his chin.
"Of course, that is merely Contingency 6 of plan Alpha 32. I feel that we should explore more options first, so I shall mention Plan Alpha 13, which is to continue our finding of Kuro, teacher of our foes.
As it appears that he is dead, we need a strong conjuration magic to get something of his or some part of his body, I would think, and then strong necromancy to speak with his spirit. Though it is entirely possible that an exceptionally strong necromancer would be able to allow us to speak with his spirit without anything of Kuro's. And, of course, the only reason I wish to speak with him is to understand more about our adversaries. With only their code names to work off of, I cannot stipulate anything more about their intentions.
But there I go again, rambling. We also have the option of Plan number Beta 4, which involves a certain amount of regicide. Which is to say that, instead of them killing me to be able to kill the king, we cut out the middle man and kill the king ourselves. Sort of. It would be... an illusionary death, lasting long enough to trap Team Ornate Lobster."

Before you insult someone, walk a mile in their shoes.
That way, you'll be a mile away, and have their shoes!

Re: Generica (Team Potato Tree, Thread III)
Danny hmms to himself. "A strong conjurer to... conjure something of Kuro's? Well... there's Jack. Or there's my sister, who's probably better at that sort of thing. If only we had a way to contact her..." He glances at Hicchup.
"...No idea where we'd find a necromancer, although Howard might know."

Re: Generica (Team Potato Tree, Thread III)
((OOC: Beegles isn't coming back; I PMed him and he's too busy to commit himself to Generica. From now on Jimito's an NPC))
"Unfortunately I must strongly repeat my opinion that Plan Alpha 13 is doomed to failure. It is highly likely that the teacher of Team Ornate Lobster is of the matter as themselves; that is, a celestial. Such beings are notoriously difficult to kill, but as body/soul duality does not apply to them they can recieve no afterlife. I must advise you to stop chasing Kuro, as it will serve only to aggravate the Hikari siblings and use up valuable time. You are aware that we have only tomorrow to completely enact the plan? I suggest less deliberation and more action if we are to hope to accomplish anything of value."

Re: Generica (Team Potato Tree, Thread III)
Danny pauses for a moment, then looks up at his bandana. "So, uh... what exactly are you? 'Angel ghosts' apparently don't exist... So..."
Without even waiting for an answer, Danny looks back at Hicchup. "...Um. Weren't we supposed to be trying to find a peaceful solution to this? Why are you so keen to make me break my word...?"

Re: Generica (Team Potato Tree, Thread III)
'Wait a minute, don't we already know the Hikaris' intentions? They're gonna kill the King. Seems pretty simple what we do next. They come for the King, we stab them or shoot magic at them or... trip them, they get vanquished and we all go to the whorehouse to celebrate a job moderately well done. Easy.'

Re: Generica (Team Potato Tree, Thread III)
"Daniel talking to himself aside - and that does concern me, Danny, but we'll get back to it - you forget something, Jack. They are not going to kill the king. They are going to come kill me. Then, after the loss of, my ego must proclaim, one of the world's greatest half-orcs, they will kill the king."

Re: Generica (Team Potato Tree, Thread III)
"Well, thank you, Danny, that is much appreciated. I think I like being alive." Hicchup grins and teases the young ninja, "I hope this time I remain conscious while you do it."

Re: Generica (Team Potato Tree, Thread III)
"If you do wish to attempt a double crossing, merely lowering the King's magic wards would be enough to prevent them from attempting to kill you. Of course, you must be confident in your ability to defend the king yourself if that is attempted."

'Well, there's no point in fighting something if you don't know you're going to win. What we need to do is find out about and steal some weapons that will work on whatever the Hikaris are.'

'Yeah, book, but didn't we meet Blue today? Someone we thought we'd killed? Something tells me we'd need some special weaponry to finish them off.'

Re: Generica (Team Potato Tree, Thread III)
Suddenly there is a loud crash, and the gang turns to see that the space where the door was is now occupied by a door-shaped hole and a decidedly livid ninja.
"So that's your idea of enacting political change, is it? Shopping, drinking and a round of backstabbing to finish it off? Consider your period of grace over, Team Potato Tree. I have come to deliver judgement."

Re: Generica (Team Potato Tree, Thread III)
Danny stares at Red for a while. "...I'd just like to make it clear that I was actually serious, and the others just outvoted me. Also, I think a new country springing up suddenly counts as political change, and I'm sure with one more day we could, uh, send an ambassador to King Generic or... something..."
Yeah, he's reaching now.
He then glances at Hicchup. "Hicchup, where'd the backstabbing come in again? Or is he just talking about our usual intra-Team backstabbing?"

"Oh, that." Danny waves his hand dismissively. "It doesn't count as backstabbing if you already consider us your enemy. And I tried to convince them, but Jack is a stubborn as... well, you."

Jack leaned over and whispered to Hicchup.
'You want me to stab them now? I think now might be a good idea.'
