[NEXUS] WATCHTOWER 14: Now a Family Business.

"I'm not sure, I'm not even sure if it's my power. Harnel claimed I was created by the same entity as Libra. Basically it's just... hanging around me and do whatever I want." Hannah explains, brushing off dirt from her dress.

Garden

((Zefir? Could you please clarify what Mia said there? I think she meant letting the other organizations join some sort of peace police but just to be safe and avoid misunderstandings, could you explain a bit better?))

[Morty]

[Outside]

Mhm. That's a dangerous power there. I hope you don't plan to use it too often, Wenomir responds.

[Shadowcaller]

Garden

"Yes, that's my point but naming our members police might give them the wrong impression. I wouldn't want to force any rules on the other orgs but the problem is when other orgs start to do things outside their own base. Are we supposed to ignore them then or attempt to arrest them? It becomes a very complicated issue if the laws we are supposed to enforce got a lot of exceptions." Cessie replies.

[Outside]

"I'm just going to use it to help people, that okay right?" Hannah asks.

[Morty]

[Outside]

Wenomir shakes his head. Better to nip this in the bud.
I don't think so. Has Harnel told you about all his run-ins with Libra?

[Shadowcaller]

[Outside]

"Not really, he just told me she did things badly. Then he wished to have a subconscious wish fulfilled but that seemed like a bad idea to me. Should I have granted it to him? He wanted Kate to have bigger boobs, to be a girl, that his wife would be a lesbian, a lava pool... and some other things I can't remember..." Hannah replies.

[Morty]

[Outside]

Wenomir pinches the bridge of his nose. The thing is, it does sound like something Harnel would do... he just hopes she's exaggerating.
Yes, well. Then you know how that helping people with such enormous powers can backfire. You should be very careful about using them.

[Shadowcaller]

[Outside]

"Of course! I have been ever so careful, the only thing I use my powers for is transporting around because I hate walking." Hannah sticks her tongue out in disgust.

"I try to give people responsible things though, you want anything?" She peers curiously at the demon hunter.

[Zefir]

Garden

"Yes, that's my point but naming our members police might give them the wrong impression. I wouldn't want to force any rules on the other orgs but the problem is when other orgs start to do things outside their own base. Are we supposed to ignore them then or attempt to arrest them? It becomes a very complicated issue if the laws we are supposed to enforce got a lot of exceptions." Cessie replies.

Garden

"You have a point there. I never wanted to call them police, but I don't really know another word for people who watch after the laws."

She shakes her head as MDM seems to draw her attention. Mia looks up and seems to listen to him while MDM makes different kind of noise. Steaming, metal hits metal and such mechanical noise.

"That is true. We should handle this like all Orgs would be treated similar to Nations. We should work on an open communication between the Orgs, as far as possible. That way we can make a all know basic. Just for the start."

[Shadowcaller]

Garden

"I wouldn't mind a meeting between the orgs but I have to be rather skeptical towards how that would work out. I seriously doubt there would be any collective agreement on any issue, least of all law enforcement. I'm planning to soon make a trip to GloG however with Sakura and my husband. We could talk to the council there and see how optimistic they would be towards such a suggestion." The sorceress tells Mia.

[Morty]

[Outside]

Wenomir shakes his head. He was expecting this question.
Thank you, but no. I prefer to get things I want myself. And I think wishes are dangerous even if they seem reasonable.

Somewhere

A plot clone of Darcy is looking for a plot clone of Wenomir to tell him about what happened at AMEN with Ilpholin. This can be handwaved or roleplayed, whichever you prefer.

[Morty]

((Let's play it out.))

[Training Area]

Darcy can find Wenomir there, training with his throwing knives.

[happyturtle]

Training Area

After checking to make sure they're alone, Darcy approaches Wenomir. "Ilpholin told me you send her on an undercover mission. I just got back from there."

(naptime now... will be around tonight hopefully)

[Shadowcaller]

Outside

"Alright... I guess neither of you really want wishes then." She nods slowly with a thoughtful look on her face. "By the way, do you know anything about parties?"

[Morty]

Training Area

After checking to make sure they're alone, Darcy approaches Wenomir. "Ilpholin told me you send her on an undercover mission. I just got back from there."

(naptime now... will be around tonight hopefully)

I did. What's the news? Wenomir asks, keeping it vague for now.

Outside

"Alright... I guess neither of you really want wishes then." She nods slowly with a thoughtful look on her face. "By the way, do you know anything about parties?"

Parties as in groups of people or social gatherings? Wenomir asks. You never know with this kind of thing.

[happyturtle]

Training Area

"She and Magtok defeated Gordon and Prometheus in a deathmatch. It's a complete coup." Darcy reports.

[Morty]

[Training Area]

Wenomir raises his eyebrows. Colour me surprised. But it's good for us. I expect she has her hands full with establishing her new regine now.

[happyturtle]

Training Area

"She does," Darcy agrees. After a hesitation, she continues. "There's... something else though. She's... well, I'm worried about her."

[Morty]

[Training Area]

You mean her transformation into a demon? How did that happen, anyway? I noticed that on the party in MaGLoG, but that was neither time nor place to ask. Wenomir is pretty worried himself.

[happyturtle]

Training Area





"She's a DEMON?! I... I thought she was just some sort of creepy super drow thing."

[Morty]

[Training Area]

Now Wenomir is surprised. He thought Darcy knew. Well, yes. I could smell it off her. Didn't you know? I thought that was what worried you.

[happyturtle]

Training Area

"What kind of demon?" Darcy asks, feeling sick.

[Morty]

[Training Area]

Wenomir rubs his chin. I don't know. There was a lot of outsiders on that party so analyzing individual smells would be hard.

[happyturtle]

Training Area

"Okay... that's fine then... she said it was Lolth. I guess some sort of drow demon pact then." Darcy says. It wouldn't make sense if it was the same demons who had captured Darcy anyway.

[Morty]

[Training Area]

Wenomir shakes his head.
Maybe. It's still worrying. I'll have to ask her about it. Speaking of which, we'll need a covert way of exchanging messages.

[happyturtle]

Training Area

"I have her phone. I'm sure she's got it encrypted so no one else can steal it and read her messages, and it won't be suspicious for her to get messages from me since we're friends." Darcy says. "If need be, I can infiltrate AMEN again, but I'd like to save that for emergency use only, since I might be caught."

[Morty]

[Training Area]

Yes, you shouldn't overdo it. If anyone finds out Ilpholin is in contact with us, the whole plan will fall over like a house of cards. I suppose the phone will work for now until we come up with another secure channel.

[Shadowcaller]

Outside

"Uh, social gatherings." Hannah replies. "Harnel told me to try to arrange a big party so I assume that's what he meant at least."

[happyturtle]

Training Area

"I'll keep in touch, and let you know if anything changes." Darcy says. And unless Wenomir has anything else to add, she'll head out.

[Morty]

Outside

"Uh, social gatherings." Hannah replies. "Harnel told me to try to arrange a big party so I assume that's what he meant at least."

Ah, yes. Well... I don't know much about parties so I'm not the best person to ask. Who would you invite there?

Training Area

"I'll keep in touch, and let you know if anything changes." Darcy says. And unless Wenomir has anything else to add, she'll head out.

Alright. Good work, Wenomir says and goes back to his pratcising once she's gone.
