Re: Silly Plots 3: With government backing we can make it very silly
Mysterious Sinkhole
"Oh, uh, wait! Please, Sir! I do be not paying you yet." He reaches into a pocket and pulls out a bag of coins. The coins are mostly brass and zinc, but there's some copper and bronze coins in there, as well as a pewter coin. They're all minted in the same place, and bear on one side a dog's head in profile and on the other a number- 1 on the copper, 3 on the zinc, 4 on the brass, 5 on the bronze and 10 on the pewter. "It do be not much, but it do be all I can be sparing." He shrugs helplessly at that.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!

Koshal shakes his head and accepts the bag.
"Oh, it's no problem Mister. I'm happy to help." he assures the man, and goes to fetch his horse. Dune has been very patient, waiting through all of this.Spako Highclaws by Ceika.

Re: Silly Plots 3: With government backing we can make it very silly
[Quiet Grove]
Viviana emits a characteristically girlish giggle and grabs Lucy's nudgin' arm. "What you call me and what I am can be two different things," says Vivi, the ton of her voice promising all manner of licentiousness.
She looks at Lucy, then at her dear husband, both drawn into a sort of awkward silence with only the wind atop this high petal passing between them. Viviana takes the moment. She hugs an arm around Lucy and places her other hand on the younger lady's belly. "...What's the matter, dear? Your eyes are roving. Or rather, perhaps they aren't. I promise Sarcie is very fine to look at. I've wasted days doing it myself," she coos. She leans in to whisper in her new lover's ear. "And he's twice as nice to touch as he is to see. Do you want to try it?"
Sarcadian's posture starts to relax a little bit, one hand sliding to slip a thumb in his waistband, the other dangling by his side. His eyelids close halfway, and he simply seems to consider the women.My avatar was done by Gullara. Thanks again!

Presumably Sarcadian is quite used to his wife being a terrible influence on others.
Then again, maybe he enjoys being a terrible influence too, posing like that with his thumb in his waistband, standing so tall and calm like an expertly sculpted statue that-
Yeah, yeah, Lucy's staring now. Boy is she ever staring. Vivi seems to have broken whatever spell was preventing her young companion from looking, and now she can't take her eyes off him.
She audibly gulps.

Re: Silly Plots 3: With government backing we can make it very silly
Kill Six Billion Gribblies
Connor holds the eerie brand tightly in one hand, his other fishing in the deepened pockets of his coat for something else... and coming out with a symbol. A deeply acute angle with a stylized eye crudely carved inside of it, on a bronze disk. The eye has been slashed through roughly, creating, from the right perspective, the letter A. He does not do anything with the talisman but hold it close to the end of the torch, the green light showing the bright, fresh scratches starkly against the background patina of age and sending flickering reflections against one wall. He grimaces at the pitiable thing that has been so cruelly warped, and at Beauty's request, but does not speak his opinions. He knows he's no great warrior, but to demand something like that of someone who doesn't trust you fully... he'll have to see what will happen.
YLEF - Young Lady Elf Frolics
"Of course Mistress." drones Alex dully. Heading for the lockers, he quickly ducks out of sight long enough to change. If either of them are inclined to peak, he can't really stop them from doing so, as the changing area doesn't have a lot of space to hide from prying eyes. But he won't be doing anything other than changing, and once he's finished they're both welcome to laugh at his outrageously purple and yellow spandex minioning outfit. There's a small helmet/facemask that covers his eyes with a tinted visor, and a bodysuit made mostly of purple with slashing yellow stripes as accents and fake muscle definition around the biceps, thighs, and abs. On such a lanky, twiggy man they look especially fake and ridiculous.
"Well, so long as you two wear these guest badges, this will get us through all the public areas." He says, holding up two dangling lanyards, "Once we get to the private areas like the labs and armories, which I assume you'll want to loot, there will be traps even I don't have access to bypass. I bow to your wisdom as to what we target first, and how to get past them with the fewest possible casualties." Since their expeditionary force can be counted on one half-mangled hand, zero casualties would be wonderful.Julie, everyone's nth favorite succubus, by Gulaghar.

Sarcadian takes a slow, rolling step forward. The mountain of muscle seems to settle, relaxed, or perhaps poised for motion at any moment... He keeps one hand at his waistband and extends the other with a calm motion, palm up.
"I'm good for more than just looking at, I promise," says Sarcie. "How about I cook a little later, and you two come inside so I can prove it?"
Viviana looks extremely pleased. They'll each take one of Lucy's hands, if she so permits, and lead her inside their little home in the flower. And probably directly underneath a curtain.My avatar was done by Gullara. Thanks again!

Re: Silly Plots 3: With government backing we can make it very silly
[An Epic Quest]
The offered items are taken and the party proceeds towards the central tower. They walk down a packed dirt road past modest stone buildings. For the most part people seem to be going along their way. The place is manned like a military encampment, but it seems like a normal community otherwise. The people they pass give them a large berth, stopping and staring, muttering to each other.
The guards don't plan to slow, however, and soon they'll reach not the central tower itself, but a large building near it. Unlike most of the rest of the town, this structure is grand and rich. Guards outside of the huge double doors push them open without question when the party approaches. In the lofty entrance hall, a man stands. He wears impeccable silken clothing draped loosely over his slender form. He touches his hand to his forehead, just below his small turban, and inclines his head slightly. "Greetings noble spirit. My masters welcome you to their domain. If you would like to wash yourself after your journey, we can accomodate you. Your attendant is free to partake in food and drink while he waits for your business to be done."

Willa smiles and nods to the man. She’s being treated as nobility so she is probably expected to act like it. At least acting is something she can do.
”A wash would be greatly appreciated. If it isn’t rude, I would prefer if my companion stayed with me. If not he, well, food is his call.” she says, trying to sound imperious and important.Spako Highclaws by Ceika.

The man raises his eyebrows. "Very well. I will call for you soon. In the meantime, please make yourself comfortable." And with that, unless they have more to say, two servants will guide them to another room. A water basin and towels have been placed in the room, along with a table bearing fine foods and water. The servants bow their heads and wait outside the room.

Re: Silly Plots 3: With government backing we can make it very silly
An Epic Quest
Willa nods sagely to the...servant? Greeter? Herald? But the moment he and the servants leave she pulls off her dusty gear with a sigh of relief.
”Thank every god who’ll listen. I’ve never seen dust so stubborn to make you uncomfortable. Would you mind helping?” Willa’s shape makes it far easier to bathe with help than without it. Sometimes she misses that huge shower she and Walter used to have. Well actually she misses it every day.
Hopefully the man doesn’t re-enter while the two guests are busy.Spako Highclaws by Ceika.

Re: Silly Plots 3: With government backing we can make it very silly

Whatever they really are, in Lucy's eyes they're both divine. And who in their right mind would say no when two such godly creatures offer their hands?
Lucy wordlessly accepts, taking their hands and letting the two of them pull her away to do as they wish with her, eagerly pulling the curtain behind her as she steps inside their flower-home.

[A Strange World]
Ithuriel can't help but recoil slightly at the sight of the man with that sickly yellow eye buried in him. Such a sight, it's hard to imagine any such thing could be redeemable in any way. Certainly, it provokes an instinctive desire to kill it, to get rid of it, to make that horrible thing stop screaming!
Ithuriel clenches her fist, grits her teeth, and holds back.
"So, you live upon some great, undying entity, and your world actively seeks your death." Ithuriel sighs. It sounds quite unpleasant. Trying to fight what you live on sounds futile. This seems like something of a forgone conclusion. Surely death is inevitable? Ideally she'd try and give them a way out, an opportunity to flee to somewhere safe, but she saw how the portal turned out.
There is nothing wrong with this idea of rebirth, is there? But to take the lives of those living upon it when they're unwilling to go...it's hard to define such a thing as evil, per se. But it feels wrong. And what of this man, a victim of this "Mother" who at this point cannot be saved? It's hard to take at face value. Beauty will surely be able to see the uncertainty, the indecision on Ithuriel's face as she looks for some other solution here.
"Then, what? I am to buy you some more time? Say I do my part and go on my way, would I not just be prolonging your suffering? Help me understand, how do I end this? And how do I know this man can't be spared?"

[YLEF - Cut off the head, and you can claim the loot for free later!]
Suzie's disgust at Alex's garish outfit is obvious to see. A tentacle strays towards the new outfit she has tucked away for him, as if thinking that surely it'd be worth getting him into that thing just to spare him (and her eyes) from this abomination!
She also snatches one of the lanyards with another tentacle, twirling the loop around it and...keeping it there, instead of wearing it around her neck like a sensible person would do.
"Loot? Loot? HAH!" She poses dramatically, pointing a tentacle in roughly the direction she figures Alex's ex-boss is probably in (almost certainly in completely the wrong direction) "No, my minions! We shall not let ourselves be distracted by trinkets and toys! We go straight for our target! We shall be on him before he even knows what's happening! And once he has fallen and his lair is leaderless, then we shall take what we wish with no one there to oppose us! MINION A! LEAD THE WAY!" The krakengirl has spoken. Straight after the boss it is.Before you criticise someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticise them, you'll be a mile away and you'll have their shoes.

Re: Silly Plots 3: With government backing we can make it very silly
A New World
"Biding time is precisely what I want. This world will win out eventually, but unless you have a method to transport a population of tens of thousands away, then trying to stop it is useless. As to how he may or may not be spared, let me show you why." Beauty says, scowling before simply appearing next to her prisoner, knife in hand. She didn't seem to move or use magic to teleport over. Instead it was as if reality itself decided that she should be there instead, and before either of her guests can react she slams the knife into the man's chest, right above the eye, and rips it downward. Instead of the mass of blood and organs that would typically be expected from the screaming man, there is a single writhing mass inside of him. The man's screaming stops as the writhing stops, but a few coils twist inside of him after a moment as the "head" of it leaps towards Beauty. Another flick of the knife and the head is neatly severed before a several meter long fleshy tendril flops to the floor. The head looked like a lamprey's with a longer "V" shaped gash for the mouth that splits wide open to grasp with several dozen stubby fangs.
"Say hello to the Mother's Tongue, the source of thralldom that devours organs, minds, and soul alike. You hesitated one way or the other, so I took it upon myself to end it." Beauty says, disgust evident on her face as she uses the knife to slice through the restraints as well. There's a flash of violet on her for a moment when she does so, and when she shoulders the body to turn to Ithuriel, a single large violet eye has appeared on her face as well, smack dab in the middle of the bony plate on the upper half of her head. "If you want to see just what it can do to a man, then take it." She growls, clearly aggravated as she walks over to Ithuriel and dumps the body onto the ground. "Whatever you decide, decide it here and now. And it is your choice to make. But I would have you make it quickly." She says, all but glaring at Ithuriel for the moment as her eye and the all-too-many shark-like teeth that had appeared in her mouth vanish from reality once more as if Connor and the angel had hallucinated it.
They didn't.
"If this is not to your taste, then you will be given a guest room, servants, plenty of food and entertainment as you wish, and I will send you back as soon as we are able to do so. But I have a war to wage and I do not have the privilege of distaste preventing me from fighting." She crosses her arms then, ignoring the blood on her body and expensive clothing, and waits. She'll move to let them examine the body and "Mother's Tongue" if they wish, but she's drawn a figurative line in the sand.

Re: Silly Plots 3: With government backing we can make it very silly
[An Epic Quest]
After a short while has passed and they've had a moment to refresh themselves, a servant opens the door. "Sheikh Diaw will see you now." He will guide them to the central chamber, a vaulted room where whole crowd could be audience. Today, however, it is all but empty. In the center of the room, a man sits upon a throne. He was clearly once tall and strong, but the years have worn on him. Though his head may have no hair and his dark skin is spotted with age, he has a regal bearing. Around him are his guards and attendants, but they stand aside.
"Speak what you will to the honoured sheikh." The servant says. Sheikh Diaw simply nods his head.

Kray smiles despite herself, and despite the telltale clack and clop of a hoofed person doing footwork. It's always been one of the small little things that's embarrassed her.

After the dance is finished, Latrans directs Kray out to a hill a short ways away, chattering away. There are a couple of individual changing rooms with showers, and he directs her to one. Your stuff should be in there already, miss.
