[13:09] *** Virgil has joined #celestialdeliberative

[13:15] <Virgil> Brazen stands in the manse, as now it slowly changes around him. The strange walls taking on a rainbow hue and shifting into coral. The walls now show murals of Brazen's deeds, as a hearthstone forms in the hollow central pedestal of the now much changed manse.

[13:15] <Brazen_Sand> Brazen was exhausted and fell to the ground.

[13:15] <Brazen_Sand> "Oh fuck yes." He groaned

[13:17] <Brazen_Sand> "I had no idea I could do that."

[13:17] <Brazen_Sand> *Hey guys, I just made a Brazen Manse. I'm clearly the best.*

[13:19] <Virgil> Siran and Shrike meanwhile amble through tilled fields the Jovun leading the way under the starry sky. "It would have been far quicker to ride, though then I would be denied this beautiful night with two equally beautiful women." He says as they approach the distant hills.

[13:19] <Brazen_Sand> Slowly he got up and picked up the hearthstone, a prismatic crystal that split light into many colours, between his two claws.

[13:23] <Shrike> Shrike, having shared the tale of the Fey in the brothel to pass the time in the trip, smiles at the Captain's words. "Why thank you, good sir," she says with a slight giggle. "I have to say the company has been very pleasant for me as well!"

[13:24] <Brazen_Sand> With that, Brazen then snapped his claws, and suddenly dumped a lake-size amount of water around him, filling the place like a glove.

[13:25] <Virgil> Meanwhile Nomoe and Dmaon Nashita have passed back into her lab. "The Island is better prepared to loose its particular trades than it makes out, Lord Nomoe. But that doesn't mean we like doing so." She gestures to the particular concoction she has been working on.

[13:26] <Virgil> "I have seen to several of the youngsters education in other areas but their will be many of my offsping that do not take to it," she gestures to the room behind them, "as befits those old fools."

[13:27] <~Siran_Bhavna> Siran smiles. "Yes. Captain, in the city earlier I noticed some very ancient-seeming buildings. What were they, do you know?"

[13:28] <Virgil> "We are not exactly what you were expecting I think in any case." She says with a shrug ending her speech, "My apologies if we come of as... 'uncourtious'."

[13:29] <Brazen_Sand> With that, he swam out, climbing out of a lake surrounded by confused and worried onlookers, wondering why their Red Lake was no longer red.

[13:30] <Nomoe_Hideaki> "Change is often if not always difficult or painful," Hideaki nods. He gives a small smile. "What I was expecting? Perhaps not. Nonetheless, not all surprises are bad."

[13:34] <Virgil> "Unfortunately fair lady," he says with a sad smile, "I do not know, though I am sure some of the elders of my family may. Perhaps when our relationship gets serious enough that I introduce you to my mother you might find out." He gives a wink and a mocking smile at that to Siran.

[13:35] <Virgil> The lake even now is bleeding colour, the manse shining brightly on the bottom of the pool. The waters themselves seem to slowly be changing colour, their properties no doubt no longer the same.

[13:35] <Brazen_Sand> Brazen's body shifted smoothly back into it's normal shape, the fins and webbings disappearing as he shook the cold water off of himself

[13:38] <Nomoe_Hideaki> "Different places ..." Nomoe spreads his hands. "Matters of form, important as they are, remain secondary to the truths behind them in matters of such importance. I recognize that just as I have heard little from your domain before the present matter, you and yours may not have heard much of me."

[13:38] <Nomoe_Hideaki> "So I will tell you this to end the doubts that may remain among you still: The stars will rain from the sky before Nomoe Hideaki keeps not his given word."

[13:38] <~Siran_Bhavna> Siran smiles back, amused. "Then I suppose it will remain a mystery to me. We like to keep on the move, Dorotha and I."

[13:39] <Nomoe_Hideaki> At Nashita's invitation then he looks at the liquid she has been working on with polite curiosity.

[13:40] <Brazen_Sand> "

[13:40] <Brazen_Sand> "Behold! I have cleansed your water!" Brazen announced

[13:40] <Shrike> "We haven't yet found anyone who can keep up with us," Shrike agrees, her tone making it both a statement and (if one were looking for such a thing) a sultry hint. "We want to explore as much as we possibly can, after all..."

[13:41] <Virgil> A frog seated nearby *ribbits* at Brazen's announcement. Probably the only thing alive nearby for several miles.

[13:41] <Brazen_Sand> "ARE YOU IMPRESSED, FROG?"

[13:44] <Virgil> As Nomoe examines the mixture, even without his charms it quickly becomes clear what is in the beaker. It is raw processed orichalcum, currently in a liquid form. "We are not entirely without other sources of wealth." She says with a cackle, "Just ones that were not necessarily useful until now."

[13:44] <Virgil> "You may keep it Lord Nomoe."

[13:44] <Virgil> *RIBBIT* It says and dives into the now shimmering rainbow hued water.

[13:46] <Brazen_Sand> Brazen shrugged in disappointment then flew away

[13:49] <Brazen_Sand> He landed in teh city again, and looked for a restaurant or a place to get something to eat.

[13:49] <Virgil> An object passes in front of the moon, full and lighting up the landscape, for a second and then passes as the Girls as Jovun climb the hills to the Lake. "Over this way is the remarkable Red Lake of the island. Though it's waters are mildly toxic various members of my family are working on uses for them. You'd be surprised what some of them can get up to."

[13:49] <Nomoe_Hideaki> "So I see," Nomoe nods. "I did not idly state my confidence in Iselsi ingenuity." He draws back slightly then and bows. "You have my thanks for your precious gift, Lady Nashita."

[13:49] <Nomoe_Hideaki> *Iselsi Damon Nashita

[13:50] <Virgil> "Nashita is fine, Lord Nomoe. I find titles and even names tedious. When you have as few years left to me, you may think likewise."

[13:50] <~Siran_Bhavna> "It sounds as though your family have a broad range of interests," Siran notes.

[13:51] <Nomoe_Hideaki> "Quite possibly," Hideaki admits, though he finds it unlikely that old age will take him.

[13:52] <Shrike> Shrike looks up as something passes the moon, and arches an eyebrow as the Captain speaks. *Please tell me the lake is still there...*

[13:53] <Shrike> "Indeed, they seem to be every broad-minded in their studies," the exotic redhead agrees with her companion. "What sort of uses?"

[13:53] <Brazen_Sand> *Yes, I put it back*

[13:53] <Brazen_Sand> *In fact, it's better then ever*

[13:53] <~Siran_Bhavna> *I have a sudden sinking feeling.*

[13:53] <Virgil> "We are a large family and the island is mainly ours." He says with a smile. "Really I would expect visitors, even if you are not spies and especially women I may have proposed to, to at least know that." He gives another not so serious wink as they crest the hill.

[13:53] <Brazen_Sand> *very punny of you*

[13:55] <Virgil> And below them see not a Red Lake, but instead a Rainbow Lake shimmering with a dozen hues. Jovun's jaw drops, the surprise clear on his face, his jaunty persona dropped. "This..." he gives a swallow. "Does not bode well." You get the impression that that comment isn't directed at either of you.

[13:58] <Shrike> Shrike giggles girlishly, tossing her hair, as she waits to see just what Brazen has done -this- time. "Well, possibly we do know and just want to hear what a handsome, dashing pirate sea-captain thinks of his family?" she asks, and upon spotting the lake, her eyes widen in genuine surprise. "...oh dear. That lake isn't red."

[13:59] <Virgil> As Brazen lands in town, he sees the streets are bright with revellry, at least in some quarters of the city

[13:59] <Brazen_Sand> "ooooh, a party!" Brazen eagerly walked over to investigate

[13:59] <~Siran_Bhavna> Siran stifles a groan. "No, no it isn't. Has anything like this ever happened before?"

[13:59] <Virgil> The parts that are populated are enjoying fireworks and some sort of street festival.

[14:02] <Virgil> "Not to my knowledge. I suspect Great-Grandfather won't be pleased." He says with gulp. "This could be bad." His face is pale in the moonlight.

[14:03] <Shrike> "...is that 'heads will roll' bad?" Shrike asks, softly.

[14:05] <Brazen_Sand> Glowing Old Realm words of acceptance and tolerance of it's subject wove their way around Brazen's skin like tattoos, putting everyone around him at ease with his presence as he entered the celebration.

[14:05] <Brazen_Sand> He ducked underneath a few highly-set lanterns and tried to reason out what the celebration was for.

[14:07] <Virgil> "Possibly." He glances back at the lights of the city and then glances back once at the lights of the water. "We should probably get back to Town."

[14:10] <~Siran_Bhavna> "Yes, that's probably a good idea."

[14:10] <Virgil> "Now despite your somewhat..." Nashita pauses searching for a suitable word... "stuffy... demeanour I think my branch can do business with yours, as I am certain that you can find a way for our branch to continue to exist in something resembling its current form."

[14:11] <Shrike> "I would have to agree," Shrike says quietly, giving the Captain a sympathetic look. *You've kicked over a hornet's nest*

[14:12] <Virgil> "I have the authority to speak for the entirety of the Dragonblooded part of my Branch, and I am willing Lord Nomoe to accept you terms. I do this for my family, nothing more, nothing less. Sundering our freedom is a heavy price for us."

[14:13] <Virgil> The Celebration seems to be a regular occurance. Something that springs up whenever much of the fleet is in port. A way for the pirates to blow off steam and the natives to enjoy themselves with their stolen wealth.

[14:19] * Nomoe_Hideaki nods understandingly. It is a driving motivation he knows only too well. "Who should I be speaking to regarding the patrician part of your branch?"

[14:20] <~Siran_Bhavna> "Is yours likely to be one such head?" Siran asks as they head back.

[14:28] <Brazen_Sand> *Aw crap! Again?!*

[14:29] <Virgil> She shifts uncomfortably. "That... is a complicated subject."

[14:30] <Virgil> "Unlikely, Great-Grandfather likes me." He says with a wry smile.

[14:30] <Shrike> "Well that's good, you wouldn't be as attractive with your head detached," Shrike quips, before turning a tad more serious. "But people you care about then?"

[14:31] <Virgil> Meanwhile among the revellers a small portish bald man bumps into Brazen, knocking himself off his feet. His spectecles falling to the ground. He seems mighty out of place in the festival.

[14:31] <Virgil> "Depends what happened with the Lake. Grandfather while in a temper can be... unpredictable."

[14:32] <Nomoe_Hideaki> "I am familiar with 'complicated'," Nomoe says evenly.

[14:32] <Brazen_Sand> Brazen picked up the spectacles very carefully between two talons the width of a strong man's arm, and handed them back to him, bending over to look him in the eye as he did so.

[14:33] <Virgil> The man examines Brazen very carefully. Even as Brazen glances so at him.

[14:33] <Brazen_Sand> "Is something on my face?"

[14:34] <Virgil> He places the spectacles back on very carefully. Staring Brazen in the eyes

[14:34] <Brazen_Sand> Brazen stared back

[14:36] <Brazen_Sand> And looked into the strangeness of the man's essence

[14:39] <~Siran_Bhavna> Siran nods quietly. *I've been thinking about what he said in the restaurant, about helping to get the slaves out... Do you think he meant it?* she asks Shrike.

[14:39] <Virgil> "You and I, I think have something of a problem." He says grimmly. The music around them seems to have stopped. And many members of the crowd take a large step back.

[14:41] <Shrike> Shrike merely nods to the captain, biting her lip at Siran's question. *He did seem sincere enough - although I have been mistaken before,* she admits. *But it didn't strike me as trying to expose us, rather an honest offer*

[14:41] <Virgil> "You see I made that on the request of a rather old and bitter acquiantance. But only maintained it on behalf of my wife." He cracks a knuckle, looking rather surprised that he has.

[14:42] <Virgil> She shrugs sadly. "I was hoping you'd be satisfied with the Dragonblooded half. The other half would require convincing my husband."

[14:42] <Brazen_Sand> "Oh?"

[14:43] <Brazen_Sand> "What would be worth ruining this party?" Brazen asked

[14:43] *** Nomoe_Hideaki has quit IRC: Ping timeout

[14:43] <Brazen_Sand> In his mind though, he knew that this was trouble.

[15:00] *** Siran_Bhavna has quit IRC: Connection reset by peer

[15:10] *** Anshu has joined #celestialdeliberative

[15:10] *** ChanServ sets mode +q Anshu

[15:10] *** ChanServ sets mode +o Anshu

[15:11] *** Anshu is now known as Siran_Bhavna

[15:28] <Virgil> "We could take it elsewhere. After all this is my Island." says Damon. He clicks his fingers. Brazen and him float above the waves, somewhere else. The lights of the harbour just visible in the distance.

[15:30] <Brazen_Sand> "Uh...what the hell is going on?" Brazen asked as he followed him.

[15:30] <Virgil> The group of the Pirate Captain, Siran and 'Dorotha' make a quicker pace back to town. "I apologise, my lovilies, I expect a tour of the island may have to wait. Grandma will want to know of this."

[15:34] <Virgil> "You strike me as the type to solve his problems through violence. I don't want my wife or any of our off-spring harmed." Now, he paces on the turgid waves as were they solid land. "We can talk and if either of us deems it necessary we can fight. After all I see some of my former liege in you... and he prefers these days to fight."

[15:36] <~Siran_Bhavna> "That's all right. We can be patient. But I was just thinking, Juvon, about what you said earlier, about getting the slaves off the island," Siran says.

[15:38] *** Nomoe_Hideaki has joined #celestialdeliberative

[15:38] *** Nomoe_Hideaki is now known as dakkareth

[15:40] *** dakkareth is now known as Nomoe_Hideaki

[15:41] <Shrike> "Paitence can be boring, but I can wait as well," Shrike says, nodding in agreement with Siran and watching the Captain for his reaction.

[15:41] <Brazen_Sand> Brazen tried to figure out what this...entity could have been talking about

[15:45] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Nomoe frowns slightly. "Such an agreement cannot be with one half of a family branch but not the other."

[15:47] <Virgil> "You want to do that? Now?" He looks a little pale before pulling himself together. "Well just a moment and I will join you."

[15:48] <Virgil> He gestures and mutters some words to the wind.

[15:50] <Virgil> "And my husband would rather, remain unaffiliated with this whole affair." She says carefully. Glancing nervously at Nomoe.

[15:50] <~Siran_Bhavna> "We had planned to do something tonight, but later... there's time for you to meet your responsibilities in person, I think."

[15:52] <Shrike> "Later, yes - not now. Your troubles at the moment are...more important."

[15:53] <Nomoe_Hideaki> "I could not in good conscience be party to splitting apart a family in such a way," Nomoe Hideaki says sadly.

[15:54] <Virgil> "Fine then it is best you meet Dam..." She pauses mid-converation. Her expression going serious, as she cups her ear with one hand. "That is not good news." She mutters

[15:56] <Nomoe_Hideaki> "I could speak to him and see if his reservations can be alleviated, if he will meet with me. But this decision is for you - all of you - to make and I will not interfere."

[15:58] * Nomoe_Hideaki bows slightly. "If this is a bad time I can return at a more auspicious moment."

[16:00] <Brazen_Sand> Brazen's eyes narrowed

[16:00] <Brazen_Sand> "Damonasta?"

[16:01] <Virgil> "Now that is a name I have not heard of in a long time." He says pushing his spectacles up his nose.

[16:02] <Brazen_Sand> "What are you doing here?"

[16:04] <Virgil> "I prefer Damon now. It carries less... noticable... traits."

[16:05] <Brazen_Sand> Brazen shrugged. It all didn't mean much to him. "So now what?"

[16:06] <Virgil> "It depends," she beckons Nomoe through a door and to a nearby balcony staring out at the sea. "There may be a show shortly. There may not be. I fear your obvious and quite oblivious friend may well have offended my husband." She gazes out towards the waves.

[16:07] <Virgil> He smiles, more his roguish self as he tilts his head listening to the wind. "Actually now might be perfect. Granddad might be a bit of a distraction." He says with a roguish wink and wry smile. "Certainly the obvious fellow and he will be whatever they decide."

[16:08] <~Siran_Bhavna> "It's always nice to have a distraction," Siran agrees with an answering grin.

[16:10] <Shrike> Shrike chuckles and nods in agreement. "Distractions always come in handy when one is doing something you need a distraction for...and that came out weird."

[16:11] <Virgil> "Well either you apologise for destroying a priceless piece of history and manse that I was only keeping around for the benefit of my wife." Damon says with a distinct pause. "Or we find another way to get to that apology." He still seems rather angry if a bit less so than he was before.

[16:11] <Virgil> "Certainly I don't like to be that flashy." Damon continues tilting his head as if listening to something.

[16:12] <Brazen_Sand> "Okay. I'm sorry. I was only searching, and I didn't know that stealing the lake would be so damaging."

[16:12] <~Siran_Bhavna> "It's all right, Dorotha. Nobody expects someone as pretty as you to be good with words anyway," Siran teases.

[16:13] <~Siran_Bhavna> Then she turns to Jovun, becoming serious again. "So. Based on your earlier comment, I had the impression that you might have had a plan?"

[16:14] <Virgil> Jovun grins at Dorotha's discomfort, "It is understandable, I know I can have that affect on women." He says in a mocking tone, that says he doesn't really believe that. "Now what was this plan?"

[16:14] * Nomoe_Hideaki follows, his ornate robes swishing. "He does that," he says, his tone resigned. There is of course only one person she can mean, especially with Brazen's essence involved in the breaking of her hearthstone earlier. "I did not bring him here. In fact I thought I had made it clear that he was to stay away." He sighs.

[16:14] <Virgil> "As I thought you had a plan?"

[16:14] <Shrike> Shrike giggles and shakes her head in bemusment - sticking her tongue out at Siran.

[16:16] <~Siran_Bhavna> Siran chuckles. "We had the rudiments of a plan, which amounted to 'cause some chaos and sneak the slaves out'. Let me put it another way: When you mentioned the possibility, how did you see yourself being able to help us?"

[16:18] <Brazen_Sand> "I did what I did because otherwise it would have exploded."

[16:22] <Brazen_Sand> "So...yeah, I'm sure your wife would've been pretty upset if a chunk of the island blew up. Whoever she is."

[16:22] <Virgil> "And did you perhaps drain the water to get to it?" He says with a sigh. "The water that holds the motonic essence flux in place, it was carefully designed I'll have you know."

[16:23] <Brazen_Sand> "Well I know that now!"

[16:23] <Brazen_Sand> "But what's done is done."

[16:24] <Virgil> "This is a simple case of if you didn't go playing with other peoples toys in the first place, nothing would have gone wrong." He sighs, "and I bet you have no idea of the historical significants of this site at all do you." He sounds angry.

[16:25] <Brazen_Sand> "Lintha?"

[16:26] <Virgil> He stares at you, lecturing. "Close. It was the birthplace of those wretched creatures. I kept it as monument to my collosal failure and because my wife believe the water has some useful properties."

[16:26] <Brazen_Sand> Brazen nodded. "Uh-huh."

[16:27] <Brazen_Sand> "Well...there's no fixing the past. I'm sorry I messed it up, but I did fix it, you know."

[16:28] <Virgil> "Neither of which I would think it does filled with your essence." He gives Brazen a hard stare.

[16:28] <Brazen_Sand> "It's from Kimbery. It was probably some way to make the guts of whoever drank it eat them."

[16:28] <Virgil> "Well I can get us in at night." He flourishes a key out of one pocket. "I stole this several months ago, in case the family ever needed it."

[16:28] <Brazen_Sand> "My water probably does a lot fo neat stuff."

[16:30] <Virgil> "Only an Imbecile would drink that water and strangely enough, whomever you are, it and I share a similar source. As you should know if you recall my original name." His tone is quite obviously angry now though he has yet to rais ehis voice.

[16:31] <Virgil> "Well I can get us in at night." Jovun flourishes a key out of one pocket. "I stole this several months ago, in case the family ever needed it."

[16:31] <Brazen_Sand> Brazen sighed. "Look, I apologized already. What's done is done."

[16:32] <Virgil> "My husband appears to be remarkably calm for once. That is remarkably unlike him. I suppose your friend's odd essence gives him some pause." She says slightly dissappointed.

[16:32] <~Siran_Bhavna> "Well, that will certainly come in handy. Easier than breaking in, for sure." Siran glances at Shrike.

[16:33] <Virgil> "Well fine." He says slightly calmer. "An apology is satisfactoy."

[16:33] <Brazen_Sand> "Good. Cause I was missing the party."

[16:34] <Virgil> "Though perhaps while we are out here." Damon says glancing around at the waves kind of boredly. "We should put on a bit of a show. I think people might be expecting it now." He glances back to the town meaningfully.

[16:34] <Shrike> "Oooh, very nice," Shrike agrees, nodding, although she can't help but look -slightly- dissapointed at not having to sneak in.

[16:35] <Virgil> "Nothing dangerous, just a bit of a light show. See what the other is made of?" Damon says with a charming wink and a smile one of his grand-children has obviously inherited.

[16:35] <Brazen_Sand> Brazen shrugged. "Sure. Since you asked."

[16:35] <Brazen_Sand> Brazen's anima then exploded, bright enough to make the moon seem dim in comparison

[16:36] <Nomoe_Hideaki> "It should," Nomoe agrees. "Resolving tensions is a much better course than escalating them." Just before Brazen's anima explodes out on the sea.

[16:37] <Virgil> Damon slowly deliberately puts his spectacles in his pocket and shimmers as the waves reach up and around him growing larger. "This sort of size should do I think." He mutters when he and Brazen are about equal in size.

[16:38] <Brazen_Sand> Brazen's eyes widened. He hadn't been expecting that. Although he really should have, from a Soul of the Yozis

[16:38] <Virgil> "We will still of course need to sneak up to the cages and avoid or bluff the Concordant staff but the key will make the doors easier."

[16:41] <Virgil> From Nomoe's perspective a great deal of Flourescent Blue Water forms up next to Brazen's anima, the two seem to be squaring off. The essence is odd.

[16:41] <Brazen_Sand> Brazen responded by letting the fires of his anima reach up like insubstantial tendrils of neon colour

[16:41] <Brazen_Sand> So that it was as if they almost reached the stars, and waved about like trees

[16:42] <~Siran_Bhavna> Siran nods. "And then there's the matter of what to do with them... there are too many to fit aboard our ship, and freeing them just to leave them on the island to be caught and punished seems like a waste of effort.

[16:42] <~Siran_Bhavna> "

[16:42] <Virgil> "How do we want to do this?" His voice booms now. "A wrestling match, a match of colours and lights, the most ancient game?"

[16:44] <Brazen_Sand> "Wait, what? This is all really sudd-Oh who the hell am I kidding?"

[16:44] <Brazen_Sand> Brazen stretched his shoulders and unfurled his wings to their full span

[16:45] <Shrike> "Distracting the staff shuld be something I have no problem doing," Shrike says with a bright, cheerful smile and a long wink. "The trouble of what to do with them afterwards -is- a bit of a sticky problem though..." she admits.

[16:45] <Virgil> About now the assault of light and colour reaches Siran, 'Dorotha' and Jovan. "It looks ladies like now might be the time to begin."

[16:45] * Nomoe_Hideaki sighs as he sees the two essence signatures gaining in strength to his vision. Their combined strength exceeds 9000 motonic units!

[16:45] <Virgil> "We best sort out where to stow them on the way out." He says with a grin, "The pirate way after all has always been to wing it."

[16:48] <Virgil> Meanwhile Damon, gestures for Brazen to attack, if that is the game he wishes to play.

[16:48] <~Siran_Bhavna> "All right, that sounds good to me. Let's get to it."

[16:49] <Brazen_Sand> Brazen put himself in the stance of the "Gran Godzilla individuo" and readied himself for battle!

[16:51] <Nomoe_Hideaki> "Your husband's strength seems to be formidable to say the least," Hideaki says, showing a bit of surprise.

[16:51] <Brazen_Sand> His wings flapped streaks of firey light, reflected across the water.

[16:52] <Brazen_Sand> "Hmmm, I think I'll make this easier on you."

[16:52] <Brazen_Sand> "I'll battle you with one hand behind my back!"

[16:53] <Nomoe_Hideaki> "One would think that between him and the Dragonblooded scions of your branch your family should be well defended already."

[16:53] <Brazen_Sand> He said, then shifted slightly so that one hand reached out while the other curved behind him.

[16:55] <Virgil> "He does not wish to take part. Even this is more due to the fact that with your friend here, this can be blamed on the Infernals. As I am sure it will." She looks at Nomoe sternly. "He has spent a long time here quietly and many of us prefer it that way. Were others to know he was here we are both sure that would change."

[16:56] <Virgil> Damon looks at him, his watery eyes blinking a deep red water. "The tides are slow, but do not stop."

[16:58] <Brazen_Sand> "There's a first time for everything."

[16:59] <Virgil> The group of three Exalts approaches the Slave Market

[16:59] * Nomoe_Hideaki inclines his head in response. "I would not want to cause offense to him, but I may be able to calm the Infernal if he was the one to initiate an escalation."

[16:59] <Nomoe_Hideaki> *offense to your husband

[16:59] <Virgil> Even at night in the middle of the celebration a brisk trade is still being done with Captains wandering in and out.

[16:59] <Brazen_Sand> He said as he rushed towards the large "man"

[17:00] <Brazen_Sand> Water burst upwards in his wake, blasting free of his immense power as he moved from them.

[17:00] <Virgil> "I doubt any harm will come to him. Though be my guest, Lord Nomoe, after all I did just swear my House to yours." She says with a shrug.

[17:01] <Virgil> As they approach one of the Clerks looks up at Jovun. "You again Jovun, I already told you, you can't have the Spire run. You lost the last batch we sent you with. Better luck next time, eh?"

[17:02] <~Siran_Bhavna> *Lost, is it?* Siran smiles to herself.

[17:04] <Shrike> Shrike chuckles mentally as well, as her eyes watch their surroundings alertly, while pretending to be awestruck by being in the presence of the Captain.

[17:05] <Brazen_Sand> "Prepare yourself for my Héroe intermitente conductor!" Brazen cried as he grasped the Deva's shoulder and spun him up into the air!"

[17:05] <~Siran_Bhavna> Siran looks around at the staff and the guards, sizing them up in case a fight breaks out.

[17:05] <Virgil> "Oh come on, Agaro, you can do a favour for a pal can't you." He stage whispers, "To impress the girls?"

[17:09] <Virgil> Brazen grabs at Damon who laughs as Brazen slides through his watery form. "My turn now, Infernal." As several tendrils whip up and out of the water to seize Brazens arms and legs.

[17:10] <Brazen_Sand> The tendrils wrapped around Brazen before he could move or stop them.

[17:11] <Virgil> The Tendrils begin to pull Brazen beneath the waves. "I suspect first one to fall beneath the waves... loses. Is that acceptable my foely friend?"

[17:12] <Brazen_Sand> Brazen grinned. "But your body is already made out of waves, Damon. You lose by default."

[17:16] <Virgil> "An interesting thought. Try to get me below the average water line then." He points around them at the choppy seas, "Sound better?" As he pulls down even harder on the furiously struggling Brazen

[17:16] * Nomoe_Hideaki watches the movements of the powerful figures out over the sea for a few seconds. "There is no killing intent or bloodlust there," he says then. "I will leave them to it unless it becomes more than just a measuring of strengths."

[17:20] <Virgil> Agaro looks up at the two woman with an appreciative eye. "I dunno, Jovun. You know the boss would throw a fit."

[17:20] <Shrike> Shrike gives 'Agaro' a bright, dazzling smile, tossing her hair just so as to emphasise her flirtatiousness.

[17:22] <~Siran_Bhavna> Siran offers him a smile as well, though she's not quite so flamboyant about it as Shrike.

[17:26] <Brazen_Sand> A massive claw burst from under the water and wrapped itself around the Deva's leg, thrusting him back as Brazen levered himself out and into the sky. "Let's make it interesting. If I win, you will stop the Concordant."

[17:29] <Brazen_Sand> Brazen flipped himself around and grasped Damon with his scorpion tail, and tossed him along the water, skipping him like a stone.

[17:30] <Virgil> "And what do I get out of such a deal." He grunts as he grabs himself with further tendrils of coloured water righting himself and throwing himself back towards Brazen.

[17:32] <Brazen_Sand> "Name it." Brazen responded, as he caught the Deva in his one arm, then flipped and stepped upon him to keep him in the water.

[17:32] <Virgil> "You have nothing I want Infernal." As he slithers around Brazen the water streaming up and over.

[17:32] <Brazen_Sand> "Abisales ataúd acuáticos!" he declared as he did yet another flashy move

[17:35] <Brazen_Sand> "Are you deaf? Are you retarded?"

[17:35] <Brazen_Sand> Brazen snarled as his talons gripped Damon's head hard enough to crush a boulder.

[17:35] <~Siran_Bhavna> While Shrike's appearance is somewhat detracted from by the signs of their long walk, the sweat and grime Siran bears merely make her seem more ferally desirable. The way she smiles, the way she meets Agaro's eyes, intimate the barely-restrained wildness inside her with no other action or word needing to be spoken.

[17:35] <Brazen_Sand> "I'M THE GODDAMN LIGHT OF HEROISM!!"

[17:42] <Brazen_Sand> As he said that, his feet exploded with a blinding aura of power, blasted into Damon's mind, stunning him with his might.

[17:45] <Brazen_Sand> "I HAVE SOMETHING EVERYTHING WANTS, BY THE WAY!" Brazen noted

[17:47] <Virgil> With a closer look at Siran, poor Agaro is nearly drooling and whispers something to Jovun. Jovun just looks at Siran with a smile and nods his head at Agaro. As he gets clear, nodding to Shrike on the way past. "That just leaves the night shift guards and the factor."

[17:49] <Shrike> *I'll have to do better next time* Shrike thinks to Siran good-naturedly, giving her companion a playful elbow to the side. "Should be a piece of cake."

[17:49] <Brazen_Sand> *THAT'S HOT! I'M WRESTLING A THIRD CIRCLE RIGHT NOW, BTW.*

[17:50] <~Siran_Bhavna> Siran winks at Agaro as she saunters after Jovun and Shrike, managing not to break stride as Brazen shouts over the echo jewels.

[17:51] <Virgil> Damon groans, the sound of a thousand waves crashing on the shore and opens his mouth wide sucking Brazen into a huge whirlpool of red and blue water.

[17:57] <Brazen_Sand> Brazen's anima burnt the force of the wind right out of the air, allowing him to keep his footing.

[17:58] <Brazen_Sand> "YOU SUCK, IN MORE WAYS THEN ONE!"

[18:00] <Brazen_Sand> Brazen was pulled under. He cursed himself for a fool, fighting in Damon's natural element.

[18:00] <Virgil> Agaro wanders over to Siran, attempting to be sweet but failing miserably due to nerves.

[18:01] <Virgil> Shrike and Jovan manage to slip past him and deeper into the concordant offices easily.

[18:01] <Virgil> "This way I believe." He says to Shrike, "Any plan to get past the guards milady?" Jovian says in hushed tone

[18:03] <Shrike> "Make pretty eyes at them, then when they're all ga-ga knock them out and tie them up?" Shrike suggests with a playful smile.

[18:03] <Brazen_Sand> He used his wings to push away from the suction of the whirlpool, clevering using it to his advantage, as he pinwheeled around Damon, he wrapped an arm around his watery neck and pulled him into an aquatic headlock

[18:04] <Brazen_Sand> "Pez globo Montaña de bloqueo"

[18:06] <Virgil> "As amusing as this has been Light of Heroism, time I think to end it. I'm sure my grandson has done what he needed to do, and I suspect my wife wants my attention." He manages in the distorted sound of gulls, bubbles and waves and with on last monumental effort he pulls Brazen and himself under the waves.

[18:07] <Brazen_Sand> Brazen went "glub!"

[18:07] <Brazen_Sand> As he was pulled underneath.

[18:07] <Brazen_Sand> "Okay okay, you win!"

[18:07] <Brazen_Sand> "Last time I fight someone made out of water in an ocean."

[18:08] <Brazen_Sand> Fortunately, Brazen could move through water as easily as air.

[18:08] <~Siran_Bhavna> Siran swallows her distaste for those who work in the slave trade, reminding herself that many people simply take what work is available, and tries continue projecting a sense of interest in him, while also stalling for time for Juvon and Shrike to complete the objective.

[18:09] <Brazen_Sand> Then he washed up on the shore, humbled, yet he also felt somehow refreshed, as if a weight on the edge of perception had lifted slightly.
