    "So my cut 'em off idea was stupid. Good to know. Blackmail might work if we had anyway to report him, but we know he's at least a little concerned, not wanting to get your human(oid) friends involved. Maybe you could convince him to say screw it and just live happily ever after in Nexus? He wouldn't be a third class citizen here. Maybe my fake wings idea again? Only working with him to trick the council guys."

    He's just throwing ideas against the wall to see what sticks.

    At Ryhan's question, she nods, looking as though she's rather wondering that herself.

    "That's a good question... How about me? My physical form is completely human, but I have a spirit bound to my soul, and we've been altering each other for a very long time, until we finally ended up as one entity; me.

    Winguardia smiles at Rhyan as the other woman takes her hand. “Thank you.” She replies to the kind gesture.

    “In answer to your questions, Rhyan and Mayhala, as long as neither of you is undead nor a magically created being, you would fit the Council’s definition. Undead are still viewed as the enemies of all life in my world because of the plague that ended the First Creation. So, Sevet and Alysha and even I do not particularly fall under the Council’s protection.

    As Sevet points out, reporting any hostile actions he takes will be the problem. It is not impossible. It would merely take a human messenger willing to carry proof back to the council.

    The ideal situation would be to convince him to live happily ever after here in the Nexus. There are many things that would entice him toward that option. He would be free of the Council’s oppression, he would have the opportunity to gain respect and wealth, he would not have to face me in combat, he may even be able to find friends. Our kind have difficulty making friends because we know that all other species in our world live very short lifespans compared to ours. Finally, it would be several centuries before the Council would start looking for him, and by then the trail will have gone cold. He can disappear here without a trace. Disappearing here is certainly my plan.” It looks like one of Sevet's ideas was made of super-glue.

    She conspicuously does not touch the topic of killing Brian. She’ll have to be pressed to address that
    Expect my character 'Wanderer' to simply vanish. Please always err on the side of continuing without me. My schedule makes my posting patchy at times and I don't want to hold up other folks' fun.

    Suddenly, a man with short hair and a brown suit comes in, while touching both the door hinges with a white cloth. He is what you see, one of the most cleanest adventurer you have seen. He then goes to the bar, and asks, "I would like the finest water you have. Make it quick, but not to quick, and clean the glass before you do it."

    Alysha's face falls a little at the revelation that Winguardia's rulers count her as an enemy.

    I mean, it's not her fault she's like this. And she does what she can to avoid hurting people.

    Do you think...do you think he has some darkness? In his heart? Her grip on her Keyblade tightens a little.

    The man pushes back the cloth and says,"Uh, no thanks. Keep it, please." He gets out another cloth and wipes his hands shortly after.

    Look who it is, cheerfully skipping into this tavern of ill repute. It's Devi! The young lady is wearing her usual tank top, shorts, sandals, and sunglasses, as well as her golden magi-tech bracelets with their buttons and lights. She seems to be carrying a small metal box.

    The Magtern waves cheerfully at the hive of scum and villainy and puts her box down on a table, before sitting down across from it. She pushes the container away from her a bit and in plain view of everyone else. On top of it is a big red button, gleaming and shining enticingly. Written on all of the sides in large capital letters is "DO NOT PUSH THIS BUTTON". Devi settles down in her chair, smiles happily, and waits.
    Do not push? Nonsense!

    SCIENCE is clearly waiting in that box, and Junior, the freshly drunken (ever and always) drorf aims to let it out so he can peek at its innards.

    If no one stops him, the drorf will stagger right up to the box, give Devi a wink, and slam his hand right down on the button in a display of manly bravado.

    Oooh, he hopes it's some kind of physicsy science. Junior only barely tolerates chemistry, and biology is hardly any better. Biochemistry isn't all that bad, mostly because that's where normal people get their booze from.

    But physics? That's right proper drorvan kinda science right there.

    The button is pushed! And Junior should find himself becoming very not-heavy. In fact, he should feel entirely weightless and start floating off at the slightest push off the ground. If the magic-science Devi stuffed inside the metal box works correctly, Junior should now be entirely unaffected by gravity. What a wacky effect!

    ...

    Oh yes, and the top of the box opens up and releases a honey badger. Devi did bees last time, so why not use an angry African mustelid in her second button experiment? The ratel is similarly weightless, but honey badger don't care and just paddles furiously through the air to try to maul Junior. And it looks like it'll probably succeed if the drorf doesn't fight or flee.

    The techno-mage is giggling at this point, of course.

    A honey badger!?!

    Yes.

    Junior, being completely unprepared for aerial combat with the irate badger, proceeds to grab hold of the nearest chair and swings it towards the badger, letting go at the last second. The jettisoning of the chair should send him backwards through the laws of equivalent exchange, hopefully far enough to put him out of the zero-G field he suspects he's caught in.

    And, you know, he's throwing a chair at the honey badger. That should do something.

    Junior should get out of the field of zero-gravity set up by the button with his trick with the chair. And the honey badger gets hit by the furniture! This doesn't deter it at all, however; it just makes it more angry. The animal simply scrambles over the floating chair to face Junior again and pushes off of it from that side, launching itself at the drorf and the chair back over Devi's head. I have no clue if it can even do that, though its not like the honey badger would care about the actual physics.

    So Junior should be suddenly feeling gravity's insistent tug once more and will have a still-floating honey badger flying toward his face like the wrath of a thousand vengeful gods.

    Well that figures. There's not much Junior has in his arsenal that can stop something like that. Still, he can slow the blaster thing down somewhat.

    Lets see here, There are tables, chairs, bottles, the ceiling, and fire, all ready and available to be used.

    And all most likely worthless. Still, Junior grabs the nearest table and flips it, positioning it in front of himself as a shield. He aims to keep this between him and the honey badger at all times, and will move accordingly if it tries to skirt around it.

    That done, he starts backing towards the door.
