Villain time

Cinya clambers down from a nearby vantage point in the treetops.

You nod your head at Cinya.

Cinya nods stiffly.

Tvistor bows his head politely to Cinya.

Antidas inclines his head politely at Cinya.

You say mildly, "As we have already established, I am not happy."

You say, "I would like to know exactly why this is, and how we are going to
remedy this situation."

Tvistor says in a smoothly flowing voice, "Might I speak?"

You nod your head emphatically.

Antidas carefully wipes all the venoms off of a serrated dirk of cold steel.

Antidas slides a serrated dirk of cold steel into a stygian wrist sheath with a
quiet 'swish'.

Antidas swirls a fierce two-tailed whip, coils it up neatly and slips it onto
an iron belthook.

Cinya ceases to wield an iron-tipped whip in her left hand.

Tvistor says in a smoothly flowing voice, "Cinya was removed from the
Dawnstriders in a splendid display of incompetence. I fully intend to follow
through with any plans that have been made, but suddenly I can think of few
viable roles for Cinya to play."

You have tmoted: Jiraishin raises an eyebrow at Cinya.

You say, "Response?"

Cinya says in an edged voice, "As I have communicated to Tvistor already, I've
found another angle that we could take. I was thinking this might of some use to
us, either for his existing plans or otherwise."

Antidas raises an eyebrow questioningly.

You say, "Only 'might'?"

Tvistor says in a smoothly flowing voice, "It is most assuredly not. I also
have some problems taking the word of one who has already failed me."

Cinya says respectfully in an edged voice, "I wanted to run the opportunity by
Tvistor before I presumed anything and made any plans myself."

You have emoted: Jiraishin leans against a tree, his eyes unreadable.

You say, "Make a better case."

//1 minute

Cinya says in a slightly rising voice, "This happened this same month,
Nagaraja. I am still figuring out what can be done with this."

Cinya looks sceptical and says in a slightly rising voice, "Tvistor took longer
than day in his plans."

You say, "Tvistor did not break the plans, to my knowledge."

Tvistor nods his head at you.

You say to Cinya, "I am sure you can do better than this. Do not. Disappoint
me."

Cinya says in an edged voice, "In devising his in the first place, I meant.
These... 'changes' are all fresh."

Cinya says in a gritted voice, "I will not. I am not a one-trick pony, nor
useless because I'm not a gods-damned Shallamite."

You say, "Then prove it."

You say, "We have so many people here."

Cinya says in a gritted voice, "I intend to."

You say, "Surely, between the four of us, we can think of something."

//3 minutes

You say, "Well?"

Tvistor says in a smoothly flowing voice, "The Order of Vengeance will be
making the ultimate decision as to whether Cinya has a plan, Nagaraja."

You have emoted: Jiraishin nods his head slightly.

You say mildly, "Did you come here to remind me of that?"

Tvistor says in a smoothly flowing voice, "To an extent."

You say to Antidas, "And you?"

You say, "We can put this time to better use, I'm sure."

Naga Antidas D'Ischai, Cultist of Vengeance says, "I am here as a pre-order
requirement, as per the Harbinger's orders."

You say, "I am willing to invest my own efforts to make this work."

You say to Tvistor, "But I will not be shut out entirely."

You say to Cinya, "And it -will- work."

Cinya watches you silently, cautiously.

//2 minutes

You say to Cinya, "Am I understood?"

Cinya says to you in a quiet voice, "Yes, Nagaraja."

You say, "Excellent."

//1 minute

You say, "Are we done here?"

Tvistor says in a smoothly flowing voice, "It would appear so."

You have emoted: Jiraishin nods his head once, anger stiffening the movement.

You say, "Then I am returning home."

Your surroundings shatter into a cloud of glowing stars which dissipate to
leave you back where you began.
