  4. [2013-10-13 19:50:25] <Falconis> You approach general Bohai,
  5. [2013-10-13 19:50:33] <Falconis> He has no company with him, noone tries to stop you
  6. [2013-10-13 19:50:43] <Falconis> but as you get closer you feel more and more uneasy
  7. [2013-10-13 19:50:49] <Falconis> you cannot determine the source
  8. [2013-10-13 19:51:52] * Abram does his best to fight off the feeling, though he instinctively rubs his wrist.
  9. [2013-10-13 19:53:14] <Falconis> The slender man with wave patterned dress sits alone at a small table, drinking from a pot of what smells like tea, he does not react to your approach.
  10. [2013-10-13 19:54:07] <Abram> "Greetings General Bohai." Abram gestures to an empty spot nearby. "May I?"
  11. [2013-10-13 19:57:55] <Falconis> The General inclines his head and sweeps his hand in a gesture of acceptance "The table is always open to one who seeks wisdom"
  12. [2013-10-13 19:58:50] * Abram nods before taking a seat, resting his arms on his lap.
  13. [2013-10-13 19:59:46] <Abram> "I appreciate the offer. Abram Cameron, assistant of Diplomat Yu."
  14. [2013-10-13 20:00:51] <Abram> He pauses for a moment to look around. "I don't want to sound rude, but I'm surprised at your lack of company. Surely there are others who'd be interested?"
  15. [2013-10-13 20:02:31] <Falconis> He smiles slightly "Nobility and wisdom of the ages are seldom in the same company, regrettably"
  16. [2013-10-13 20:03:18] <Falconis> "My retainers work to assist flood ravaged lands in my domain, so I am alone tonight"
  17. [2013-10-13 20:03:31] <Falconis> "Tea?"
  18. [2013-10-13 20:04:00] <Abram> "Certainly."
  19. [2013-10-13 20:05:26] -->| Neuros (Gents@71B5BE92.C5754AC.F77E3A26.IP) has joined #Bohaicity
  20. [2013-10-13 20:07:37] <Falconis> The pale skinned man twists his arm and a stream of tea glides out of the teapot into a waiting ceramic cup, which slides before you when filled
  21. [2013-10-13 20:08:05] * Neuros is in the room
  22. [2013-10-13 20:09:39] <Abram> "I can see why you head the navy." Abram takes a small sip of the tea, making sure not to burn himself.
  23. [2013-10-13 20:10:44] * Neuros looks at the Tea, not removing his mask and watches the guy
  24. [2013-10-13 20:11:45] <Falconis> Bohai inclines his head at Neuros "And you? Have you also come to seek wisdom?"
  25. [2013-10-13 20:12:21] <Neuros> "Zomvat"
  26. [2013-10-13 20:14:31] <Neuros> "Vould like to commune"
  27. [2013-10-13 20:19:43] <Falconis> Bohai indicates a nearby cushion with an open palm "Welcome, would you like tea?"
  28. [2013-10-13 20:20:53] <Falconis> An oshawatt crawls out from under the table and snuggles up beside him
  29. [2013-10-13 20:30:56] * Neuros nods. "Vould decline. No thirst." He looks at the Oshawott
  30. [2013-10-13 20:31:44] <Abram> "Your loss, it tastes delicious." Abram takes another small sip.
  31. [2013-10-13 20:32:08] * Neuros shrugs and walks to the cushion
  32. [2013-10-13 20:39:06] <Falconis> The tea tastes subtly of Jasmine, and if the floating lotus petal is anything to go by, it is
  33. [2013-10-13 20:39:20] <Falconis> [Bohai]"You wished to speak with me?"
  34. [2013-10-13 20:39:28] * Neuros nods. "Da"
  35. [2013-10-13 20:39:59] <Abram> "Yes, about diplomatic matters. But we have some time."
  36. [2013-10-13 20:40:08] * Neuros nods again. "Da"
  37. [2013-10-13 20:40:54] <Abram> Sip. "You did offer wisdom after all, and I'm more than willing to listen."
  38. [2013-10-13 20:45:21] <Falconis> He sets his cup down and rubs his oshawatt on the head "Hmm, well then allow me to impart this bit of knowledge. Words spoken cannot be taken back, and minds affected are not easily changed."
  39. [2013-10-13 20:45:56] <Falconis> "My empress has heard much of Russia in the past weeks, are you certain you have time to be drinking tea with me?"
  40. [2013-10-13 20:48:26] <Abram> "As of right now, yes. The Empress has been swayed by Ivanov's words, approaching her directly would accomplish little. Besides, I'm just an assistant."
  41. [2013-10-13 20:49:22] <Abram> "You are a wise man General Bohai. I think you can see what's happening in this room quite clearly."
  42. [2013-10-13 20:49:56] <Neuros> "Ze russian is ... interesting."
  43. [2013-10-13 20:51:14] <Neuros> "His mind is invariabl enigma, much like se ozer Russians."
  44. [2013-10-13 20:51:23] * Neuros smirks, except you can't see the face
  45. [2013-10-13 20:53:24] <Falconis> Bohai grins at some inner joke "On the contrary, I cannot see anything at all. But I suppose there is some measure of sight that only those without may have."
  46. [2013-10-13 20:53:50] <Falconis> "You have spoken with him then?" he inclines his head at Neuros
  47. [2013-10-13 20:54:15] <Neuros> "Not as directly as thinks, but... In vays"
  48. [2013-10-13 21:09:35] <Falconis> The general pours himself another cup of tea and takes a thoughtful sip before continuing "So what then will you do?"
  49. [2013-10-13 21:10:42] <Neuros> "Ve vill converse"
  50. [2013-10-13 21:12:48] <Abram> Sip. "In a manner of speaking, yes. We want to maintain our neutrality in this war."
  51. [2013-10-13 21:14:53] <Falconis> Bohai's brow furrows in confusion "Neutrality? I thought your country was actively working against the Russian advance, or was I mistaken?"
  52. [2013-10-13 21:15:21] <Neuros> "Not exact"
  53. [2013-10-13 21:16:41] <Abram> "You're correct. However, moving an entire nation to war against the faction that's talked with them for weeks... that is no small matter."
  54. [2013-10-13 21:18:36] <Falconis> "Hmm, it sounds as if you have no confidence in your position"
  55. [2013-10-13 21:19:48] <Neuros> "Ve are confident, vut se var-talk is dangerous"
  56. [2013-10-13 21:21:57] <Falconis> He sips
  57. [2013-10-13 21:22:13] <Falconis> "And so, you choose to remain still"
  58. [2013-10-13 21:22:47] <Abram> "If we chose to remain still, we would not be talking to you." Abram takes another sip himself.
  59. [2013-10-13 21:22:54] <Neuros> "Quite"
  60. [2013-10-13 21:24:25] <Falconis> He...smirks "So then, we come full circle, what do you seek"
  61. [2013-10-13 21:25:06] <Neuros> "Ve seek to svay ze empress in our favor."
  62. [2013-10-13 21:26:08] <Abram> "Speaking with her directly wouldn't accomplish much however. Ivanov's words are already spoken, and her mind will be hard to sway. We need the support of those closest to her."
  63. [2013-10-13 21:26:29] <Falconis> "And so, you come to me?"
  64. [2013-10-13 21:27:58] <Abram> "Yes."
  65. [2013-10-13 21:28:38] <Falconis> His face darkens "And?"
  66. [2013-10-13 21:29:48] |<-- Neuros has left irc.thisisnotatrueending.com (Ping timeout)
  67. [2013-10-13 21:30:16] <Abram> This causes Abram to pause for a moment, both to think and to resist the uneasy feeling at the table.
  68. [2013-10-13 21:44:38] <Abram> Sip. That's better. "I don't expect you to be swayed so easily. But I would like to discuss the matter with you at least."
  69. [2013-10-13 21:47:32] <Falconis> He passes his cup to the waiting oshawatt, who also takes a drink
  70. [2013-10-13 21:47:37] <Falconis> "I am listening"
  71. [2013-10-13 21:48:25] <Abram> "Where do you stand currently with the Russians?"
  72. [2013-10-13 21:48:54] <Falconis> He frowns slightly
  73. [2013-10-13 21:50:02] <Falconis> "The Russians have made their case, and have convincing arguments about their ideals and benefits to their way of doing things. However I am yet to hear anything from the other side of this argument?"
  74. [2013-10-13 21:50:05] <Falconis> -?
  75. [2013-10-13 21:50:30] <Falconis> "Where do you stand, Abram Cameron"
  76. [2013-10-13 21:50:52] <Falconis> He peers at you with milky white, sightless eyes "What are your ideals"
  77. [2013-10-13 21:53:46] <Abram> "My ideals?" Abram pauses for a moment again. "I suppose they're not far from your own. Knowledge is one of the greatest things a man can have. It's what I spent much of my life pursuing, and now I do my best to share it with those who are willing to listen."
  78. [2013-10-13 21:54:43] <Abram> "It's why I came here from my home. Not only to make a difference, but to share knowledge. The truth even, though that can be biased."
  79. [2013-10-13 21:58:44] <Falconis> "And what is the truth Mr. Cameron?"
  80. [2013-10-13 22:03:32] <Abram> "That things are not always as they seem. That sometimes what really happens isn't what you see, or what you're told."
  81. [2013-10-13 22:06:17] <Falconis> He takes back the cup from the oshawatt and takes a sip himself
  82. [2013-10-13 22:06:21] <Falconis> he seems unsatisfied
  83. [2013-10-13 22:09:25] <Falconis> >_
  84. [2013-10-13 22:09:45] -->| Neuros (Gents@71B5BE92.C5754AC.F77E3A26.IP) has joined #Bohaicity
  85. [2013-10-13 22:12:30] <Abram> "That perhaps the Russians are doing far more than they let on. The death of our former diplomat was far too timely to go without suspicion. Though I won't say more about that, since we have no evidence of anything right now."
  86. [2013-10-13 22:13:30] <Falconis> "The Russians indeed have many secrets"
  87. [2013-10-13 22:13:39] <Falconis> He peers at you once again
  88. [2013-10-13 22:14:04] <Falconis> "Many, people are held by them, through threat or bribe"
  89. [2013-10-13 22:14:14] <Falconis> "Some are not easily seen"
  90. [2013-10-13 22:14:22] <Falconis> He takes a sip of his tea and grimaces
  91. [2013-10-13 22:15:05] <Falconis> The oshawatt perks up and swings it's shell around quickly, creating a spark against the teapot base
  92. [2013-10-13 22:15:23] <Falconis> the coals under it catch aflame once again the the pot beings to heat up
  93. [2013-10-13 22:15:33] <Falconis> Bohai nods in satisfaction
  94. [2013-10-13 22:15:47] * Abram can't help but grin at the clever setup.
  95. [2013-10-13 22:17:07] <Falconis> "If you are interested in the Truth, Mr. Cameron"
  96. [2013-10-13 22:17:34] <Falconis> "You will have to suffer for it"
  97. [2013-10-13 22:17:47] <Falconis> "Secrets are not easily released"
  98. [2013-10-13 22:18:09] <Abram> This causes him to lean forward slightly. "I already have. And I'm willing to suffer more if that's what it takes."
  99. [2013-10-13 22:18:37] <Falconis> Bohai looks...sorrowful
  100. [2013-10-13 22:18:43] <Falconis> "So be it then"
  101. [2013-10-13 22:18:51] <Falconis> >_
  102. [2013-10-13 22:20:57] * Neuros blinks at the man
  103. [2013-10-13 22:22:27] * Neuros merely watches again
  104. [2013-10-13 22:23:29] <Falconis> "I hope you find the truth you seek at the end of this suffering Mr Cameron"
  105. [2013-10-13 22:24:50] <Abram> "It's appreciated. But what about you?"
  106. [2013-10-13 22:26:31] <Falconis> "I have seen truth, and painful lessons were taught to me for it"
  107. [2013-10-13 22:26:52] <Falconis> reoll perception
  108. [2013-10-13 22:26:59] <Abram> 4d6+4
  109. [2013-10-13 22:27:00] <DiceMaid-9001> Abram, 4d6+4: 22 [4d6=6,1,5,6]
  110. [2013-10-13 22:27:09] <Neuros> "Vat is truth?"
  111. [2013-10-13 22:28:13] <Falconis> He reaches towards his cup and takes a long sip
  112. [2013-10-13 22:28:35] <Falconis> "That there are limits, to what a man can do"
  113. [2013-10-13 22:30:35] <Abram> "You may have payed for it with your eyes, but I know you're not blind. There is more happening in this banquet then they would let others believe. Are you willing to just stand by and let it happen?"
  114. [2013-10-13 22:31:00] <Falconis> He pauses and sets his cup down softly
  115. [2013-10-13 22:31:10] <Falconis> he opens his eyes and looks you dead on
  116. [2013-10-13 22:31:18] <Falconis> [Bohai]"No"
  117. [2013-10-13 22:31:38] <Abram> "Then we find the truth. Together."
  118. [2013-10-13 22:33:48] <Falconis> roll intuition
  119. [2013-10-13 22:33:59] <Falconis> both of if Neuros is involved in this
  120. [2013-10-13 22:34:01] <Abram> 3d6+3
  121. [2013-10-13 22:34:02] <DiceMaid-9001> Abram, 3d6+3: 16 [3d6=6,2,5]
  122. [2013-10-13 22:35:57] <Falconis> 3d6+3
  123. [2013-10-13 22:35:57] <DiceMaid-9001> Falconis, 3d6+3: 14 [3d6=1,4,6]
  124. [2013-10-13 22:36:15] <Falconis> "Yes, that seems like a good idea"
  125. [2013-10-13 22:39:57] <Abram> "In that case, I should take my leave. Unfortunately, I have other matters to attend to tonight. Would you mind meeting again at some point tomorrow? Whatever works best for you."
  126. [2013-10-13 22:40:12] * Neuros stands up
  127. [2013-10-13 22:40:41] <Falconis> "Tomorrow...doesn't work for me. I will send you a message when I am free"
  128. [2013-10-13 22:41:19] <Abram> "I'll await it eagerly. And hopefully I'll have some news for you when it arrives."
  129. [2013-10-13 22:41:42] <Falconis> He nods
  130. [2013-10-13 22:42:11] <Abram> "Have a good evening General Bohai." Abram stands and returns to Yu.
  131. [2013-10-13 22:42:18] <Falconis> Bohai nods
  132. [2013-10-13 22:42:30] <Falconis> He looks Neuros up and down
  133. [2013-10-13 22:42:35] <Falconis> he doesn't seem to have a comment
  134. [2013-10-13 22:43:03] * Neuros doesn't have one either
  135. [2013-10-13 22:45:10] * Neuros heads out before looking over at Abram breifly
  136. [2013-10-13 23:02:07] <--| Abram has left #Bohaicity
