  1. [21:54] Ardith Illarian says, "Ely. I'd like a minute for some words."
  2. [21:54] Syril whispers something.
  3. [21:54] Syril says, "..."
  4. [21:54] Syril says, "BWAHAHAHA."
  5. [21:55] Sumiye exclaims, "Oh, shut your mouth you fool!"
  6. [21:55] Syril whispers something.
  7. [21:55] Syril whispers something.
  8. [21:56] Syril whispers something.
  9. [21:56] Syril asks, "... Mh, How is Yakitori?"
  10. [21:57] Sumiye says, "She's been well, keeping to her nest of eggs."
  11. [21:57] There's a quick nod which follows, and a softer shift over to the side.
  12.  
  13. "Sure, we can do that, I... probably need you for a thing or two, as well. Regarding the Council, for most parts."
  14.  
  15. A slower bit of pause as a single step is taken towards the fort's entrance there.
  16.  
  17. "To the temple, then?"
  18. (Elyon Hirai)
  19. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  20.  
  21. [21:57] Syril asks, "How many?"
  22. [21:57] Sumiye says, "Five."
  23. [21:57] Syril says, "Oho! More then I expected."
  24. [21:57] The Accursed's eyes narrow. She nods.
  25.  
  26. "Yeah. The temple'll do fine."
  27. (Ardith Illarian)
  28. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  29.  
  30. [21:58] Ajax waves at Miyo!!
  31. (Ajax Reynold)
  32. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  33.  
  34. [21:58] EiraVunde contemplates the odd bit of tiled ground that was different from the rest in pattern.
  35. (EiraVunde)
  36. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  37.  
  38. [21:58] Elyon Hirai says, "Mhm, come along."
  39. [21:59] Ardith Illarian says, "...I'm confused."
  40. [21:59] Ardith blinks at Miyo.
  41. (Ardith Illarian)
  42. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  43.  
  44. [21:59] Elyon Hirai says, "Just tagging along."
  45. [21:59] Miyo Yuumi says, "I can leave."
  46. [21:59] Ardith Illarian says, "If ya ain't mind. This has to do with somethin' I spoke to Narissa 'bout."
  47. [21:59] Miyo Yuumi whispers something.
  48. [21:59] Miyo nods her head before she departs.
  49. (Miyo Yuumi)
  50. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  51.  
  52. [22:00] Ardith Illarian says, "I heard from 'er how ya took her and Caira's reccomendation."
  53. [22:00] Elyon Hirai asks, "Mm? The Voice?"
  54. [22:00] Ardith Illarian says, "I'd like to hear from the horse's mouth...why."
  55. [22:00] Ardith Illarian says, "S'right."
  56. [22:10] "The Voice-"
  57.  
  58. There's a slow start, calm nonetheless as a single hand is brought to his own chin, digit tapping across the side of those pale features a couple different times before he'd continue.
  59.  
  60. "-does what the name says. It's the Voice of Gehenna and her people. A selfless, utterly loyal entity who lives for this faction. I'd have you glance over the individuals so far... Caira was your close friend, and you should know that this settlement meant everything and more to her, right? Time and time she said that she was the shield and sword of Gehenna above anything else.
  61.  
  62. Keitaro, on other hand, selflessly sacrificed a lot, and did everything in his power. Be it spending sleepless nights just to make sure the war between Briar and Gehenna comes to an end. He took part in every deathly dangerous expedition through spire isles, not asking for anything in return, and played a critical role throughout those, as well. Whateverhe managed to acquire-- from heavy storage of Illyothium, or even Spire Shards, he donated to the tribal benefits as a whole without a second thought.
  63.  
  64. Narissa, meanwhile, has always been an advisor to everyone present-- even going as far as making sure whatever her company produces goes to those around her, without any trade or conditions."
  65.  
  66. Another, quieter pause before he'd continue.
  67.  
  68. "I like you Ardith. You're a family, and my brother adored you more than anything else-- but this is not a position you're fit for. You're not a selfless individual completely and utterly devoted to this settlement. To be called a Voice of her people. That's not to say you are unwilling to work for her-- but even then, every time you've approached, or were approached regarding such, there were usually demands of payments and whatnot. That's not to say it's wrong to demand such, either... it's just not what the position is about. You don't match the criteria, and you haven't done enough-- on your own, selfless accord-- for this faction to be granted that title. For an example of the latter, look at Narissa, I guess.
  69.  
  70. Not to mention you, as an Accursed, are more loyal to a certain, charming demon than this entire faction combined, to some degrees, but... that isn't the most critical aspect here."
  71.  
  72. With that, he'd finally come to a halt with a bit of blink, though the Chieftain did add a tiny bit afterward.
  73.  
  74. "Nothing harsh or hard, however. It's just not fitting, is all."
  75. (Elyon Hirai)
  76. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  77.  
  78. [22:17] Of course what Elyon has to say makes her furious. Invoking Caira's name like that. There is so much on her mind, so much she wants to say, and within her burns an anger bright.
  79.  
  80. It makes her shoulders shake, her knuckles flex and the bones in them pop like crackling glass underfoot. She looks for a moment like she's going to have one of those outbursts again. There it is, crawling up the nape of her neck.
  81.  
  82. Ardith closes her eyes and inhales deeply. When she opens them again they are...
  83.  
  84. Tired.
  85.  
  86. "...Then I want a chance. To prove my worth," she drawls, choosing her words with care even as her occultic tattooed hand continues to twitch and flex.
  87.  
  88. "I ain't think a sleepin' Archon who's never commanded me to do anythin' or command my loyalty oughta' come into the picture here. But...lemme prove. My worth.
  89.  
  90. "There's things I can do for this place. Wonders that'll never be seen.I been honin' my skills, sharpenin' my mind. I can do somethin' grand for Gehenna.
  91.  
  92. "It ain't a title of Voice. But I'd ask...that ya hear me out."
  93.  
  94. It is not what she desired, what she thought herself worthy of.
  95.  
  96. But steps. Small steps, each at a time. That is how the day is won.
  97. (Ardith Illarian)
  98. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  99.  
  100. [22:23] "The Illaron's thing was an additional bit-- probably the least critical factor in all of it, though-"
  101.  
  102. A softer hint of pause as a single hand idly drifts past the thin air there, world slightly shifting into black and white hues amidst the way surrounding Occultic energies around the Illarian would be nullified.
  103.  
  104. "-this is another one of the reasons, Ardith-- again, not near the most critical one, but. Heard of the reports regarding an assault caused by lose of temper earlier, and... well, you can control it better, but the outbursts are generally still there. Regardless-"
  105.  
  106. The digit that had been pressed to his features slightly shifts about, trailing over to his bottom lip yet once again, and then a few more taps follow suit.
  107.  
  108. "What's on your mind? Other than the title of Voice-- mention it so, I'm listening. And I'm always willing to hear you out, anyhow."
  109.  
  110. A couple more, shorter blinks.
  111.  
  112. "And I know you can do something grand for Gehenna if you try to. Never really questioned that."
  113. (Elyon Hirai)
  114. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  115.  
  116. [22:28] The aura of nullification makes it easier to keep her head clear, to keep that crawling feeling from creeping up on her. The world goes gray and dull. Her anger drains along with the color.
  117.  
  118. "It's been...hard."
  119.  
  120. No other explanation is given. This isn't the place for excuses. It's the place for results.
  121.  
  122. "I want to prove I can make somethin' grand for Gehenna then. No price, no charge. But I need the materials to do it. Ging made an artifact for the people...I wanna do the same.
  123.  
  124. "Eshmun's heart took a lotta' work and supplies and...I wanna put it to other use. To the betterment of Gehenna. If ya can allow me this and allow me the chance to inspect the platform...
  125.  
  126. "I can set to work on makin' that artifact. And with access to the platform, I can start learnin' how to get transceivers to interface with it. I need no supplies or payment beyond that."
  127.  
  128. All of this in order to prove something to the place she'd called home for so long.
  129. (Ardith Illarian)
  130. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  131.  
  132. [22:41] A softer bit of nod offered, though no words or so at her first statement-- he dealt with it, too; he knew what it was like. He didn't question it.
  133.  
  134. "The Animus isn't done yet-"
  135.  
  136. Yes, he was calling it that. After... the house he was part of as a kid throughout the Academy, however.
  137.  
  138. "-since the current priority turned into our Cluster's use, and so accessing the Council without something akin to Nullification is dangerous, but... if you think you can manage it, you have permission to do just that. Independently and directly study it so, and whatever's within the saves whenever desired-- though still within the guarded chambers that you'll have access to. Mostly because if you, well, flipped from the heavier dose... think it'd be better if we could get the situation under control."
  139.  
  140. With that, he'd finally come to a slow halt, arms dropping over to his sides, loose.
  141.  
  142. "Regardless... we're bit short on spare supplies, but if you do need anything just for the projects alone? You can ask me anytime-- I'm willing to provide, if I can, alright?"
  143.  
  144. With that said, there's a smaller step over to the side, towards the workshop behind them.
  145.  
  146. "...with that said, think you'd be up for a bit of experiment regarding that platform? It'll be indirect touch, so... likely little to no risks involved. To squeeze out some runic information-- rather certain that none barring you, and Magdalen can decipher them. At least not within Gehenna."
  147. (Elyon Hirai)
  148. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  149.  
  150. [22:41] Ardith Illarian asks, "The...Animus?"
  151. [22:42] Ardith Illarian says, "I meant the transceiver platform. The one ya use in the back room."
  152. [22:42] Elyon Hirai says, "Oh-"
  153. [22:42] Elyon Hirai says, "That's one... no issue, you can have access to it."
  154. [22:42] Elyon Hirai asks, "And... Animus, err... remember what I mentioned regarding Council's core?"
  155. [22:42] Elyon Hirai says, "The project. End... result. That's what I wanted to call it."
  156. [22:42] Elyon glances over to the side, briefly so.
  157. (Elyon Hirai)
  158. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  159.  
  160. [22:42] Ardith Illarian asks, "I do...yeah. And...his heart?"
  161. [22:43] Elyon Hirai says, "...after the passing, yes."
  162. [22:43] Ardith Illarian says, "..."
  163. [22:46] The Accursed isn't the type to bow, by her nature and by the Gehennan culture she'd been exposed to. In this case her head does bow, her eyes to the floor.
  164.  
  165. "...Thank ya. I'll be sure it's all put to use. For the home he loved," she mumbles.
  166.  
  167. "If I could get a key to the platform room. That'd be great. Other than that...my hands're ready to help here."
  168. (Ardith Illarian)
  169. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  170.  
  171. [22:47] Elyon Hirai says, "Mhm, come along."
  172. [22:48] {Item} You picked up Ardith's Key. Dropped by Elyon Hirai. .
