[21:06:33] Saruin pops a snide grin at the Elsyrean. He sighs- polished silver pistol slow to raise by his side. Glancing over his shoulder, he saw he had a couple of allies nearby...

... and looking Caesar's way, it seemed they had one less-! The horned male sets the sights of his pistol on the Elsyrean, a black-nailed thumb cocking the hammer of his revolver.

He chortles a moment. "Played me pretty good, Caesar... Zaruma too. Not bad." He utters- a swathe of celestial darkness spewing around his lithe and graceful body in a cloud of starry shadow-miasma.

Foul black insects congeal out from it, manifesting huge bug-demons that fly and crawl abound in a swarm of malevolence. "But now- we fight!" He shouts, squeezing his pistol's trigger with a bang - launching a black-as-pitch projectile of pure Occultism at Caesar.

At the head of the bullet was no actual round: it's a winged larva, so charged with dark mana it'd explode in a violent curse on impact-!
(Saruin Aradel)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:09:07] Crepitations enrich the watchtower's area, thunderous lightning commanding Caesar's structure. A display of velocity mediated the battlefield, the man's spells bonifying each and every bodily movement. However, despite the haste, the white-haired one ended up focusing on a single group of three.

"Mmhm..." he cleared his throat, a tongue sweeping the labiums as more and more mana fled from his veins. No time to be wasted-- the spear slided towards his hand, once again.

Alluring, gravitational adjustment clanked the shimmering armor, reflecting the sunlight with grace, as the yellow, penetrating gaze returned to Saruin, and the voice infiltrated the space.

"Play...? I didn't play anyone. However, if you think the propaganda wasn't a shady move... well, Saruin, I'm sorry. You are mistaken, and you should come to the correct side. The side where I can fulfill my duty, my dream, and the side where I am able to create a new place--!"

Taciturnity dominated him, ceasing the words and following with a fervent impetus towards the opposing force.

[21:10:49] Eztli drew her staff forward, occultic flames swirling and dancing around her form. She nodded to Olander, then to Saruin. This was her duty, as the acolyte of Zogen, to fight for Aetherius and push out any who would oppose them.

She wasn't familiar with Franz, but she had seen Caesar around, especially when she had lived within Gehenna. The Xizoh girl had no intention to kill, but she could not her enemies leave so easily either.

"I wish you luck in this battle," she said, preparing to dash towards Caesar. Wishing her enemies luck in battle? Perhaps not smart, but she did believe in being honorable. She could not condone the sneaky tactics that the Coalition were currently employing.

[21:10:49] Saruin Aradel whispers something.
[21:11:40] Olander whispers something.
[21:12:32] The commotion stirs him from his house to the North. Eyes befall the mass gathering of Magi, auras flared in great, potent swathes of energy; some Holy, some Dark, some of vibrant vermillion and others of deep, pungent teal. The aura grows thick with magicka and mana, a suffocating veil of arcane puissance.

The Valmasian Magi, against better judgement, joins the fray, austere energies booning wildly in flecks of white-hot starlight. Exorcism streaks upwards and outwards, licking about him as a radiant flame, a rejuvenating presence and defensive barrier between oncoming Magicka.

He presses forth, shifting to Eztli's side - one familiar face among many, but the closest he was willing to defend. The alchemist slips into stance between Neries and Co, Stave brandished outwards towards the two. Were they familiar with these warriors?

"Good day," he notes quietly, a protective force before his two companions. "No hard feelings, but you step into our borders far too boldly."

[21:13:23] Being dragged into one big fight, the ookami clasped his two clawed hands together.

Until the playful expression Franz had at first began to die out into a very frustrated frown, things were on the table and this was time for fighting.

Tilting his head from side to side, a swirl of flames began to build up around Franz's right arm, opening and closing his hand into a fist before the appendage itself became engulfed in flames.

The flames cleared off, and what was left was a scorching hot claw. A darkened look overcoming Franz's expression, glancing his sight between the three infront of him.

"Like men to the slaughter, sending poor innocent souls to fight for a cause they have doubt in..I'll show you all the real power of the beast.."

Now with his whole body encased by flames, the ookami looked up to the sky and emitted an ear-piercing howl, and from the treeline came out a trio of wolves. Jumping to Franz's side,and quickly learning that the three infront were today's targets.

Before Franz himself got down onto all hours, gripping both his molten-magma claw and his normal one into the dirt. Ready to pounce at the lot.

[21:27:53] {combat} Saruin Aradel killed Franz Hyumu.
[21:33:52] An explosive clash rocks the clearing: the woods topple-over, trees shattered by Caesar's clawing red bolts of violent Hellstorm only to be splintered seconds later by howling waves of Shadowfire-!

But, the trio had an edge over the coalition duo besides numbers: Saruin's spells of baleful witch-craft and corrupted star magic weave huge spider-web shaped glyphs across the battlefield, teeming with sickly energies ripped from rotten stars. They befoul Caesar and Franz alike- ... though the clash leaves everyone bloodied, they're soon too hobbled to dodge or escape.

Meteors, shadow-flame blasts and Saruin's black-as-pitch rays of shadow tar fire into the pair in a furor of destruction- ... and though Caesar slips away, Franz is not so lucky.

A black-nailed thumb cocks its revolver, before the Neries' glossy lips part into a sinister grin... "Got you, fucker-" Bitter speaks the horned marksman before pulling the trigger.

With a loud bang and a splash of black tar from the barrel, a huge winged leech is fired from the revolver's barrel. With a lamprey-like mouth, it blasts into Franz's eyeball and detonates within, shattering his skull and spreading his brain-pulp around in a lurid splash of gore.

The smell of blood pours from his half-headless body, only a jaw and a mulched neck-stump left where his face had once been...

Saruin's leech-demon thrashes and flails its slimy black body all the while, submerging its head into Franz's body and slowly draining his vitae. As it writhes and squirms, blood continues to spew from Franz's headless neck before his body lowers to make a slow thud on the grass...

Already- Saruin's revolver moves to trace on the back of a new victim, shooting another 'bullet' of parasitic worms at Caesar- ... but missing him utterly, the Sin of Greed soon to escape with Saruin's stolen vitality.

He grits his teeth and scowls. "You slimy fucker! Slimier than me, you shit-!" He howls out after the fleeing Elsyrean, who leaves nothing but crackling red static in their trail and an angry Neries behind.
(Saruin Aradel)

[21:34:43] LOOC - Franz Hyumu: (Well guys)
[21:34:43] LOOC - Franz Hyumu: (been a good run)
[21:34:43] LOOC - Olander: ((sorry dudie...

[21:35:34] LOOC - Olander: ((it was.. kinda close r2..
[21:39:50] Eztli wasn't the strongest fighter among the trio, but her flames hit hard. She went down fairly quickly in their first bout, but regained her senses and let out an onslaught of occultic flames that left the trees around them charred and soaked in occultism.

She didn't let the occultism affect her own emotions, keeping a clear mind and focusing on Franz. She watched with a dull stare as Saruin ended his life. It was fitting, considering the ookami had ended the life of one of their own not too long ago.

She remained silent as Caesar ran away, not wanting to taunt or engage in a shouting match. Instead, she took a few deep breaths, calming herself and letting the occultic flames slowly die and wither away.

"You both did well," she said, offering a nod to her compatriots. "You avenged one of our own, Saruin. Olander, your holy magic was like nothing I've ever seen. We should return to the others."

If nothing more wereto be said, she'd turn on depart without another word. She should be happy, given that they won, but she could only worry about the others fighting.
(Eztli Xizoh)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:43:15] Yet another loss.

Caesar had proposed a relationship of mutual benefit. Despite that, Aetherius tried to disgrace his reputations. Despite that, the nation tried to leak the Black Market and Mila's body. They were stealing from him, who loved his properties. They were degradating his search for fame and power, the mundane pleasures involved to feel humanity.

Thus... the Elsyrean couldn't take it very well.

Blood spilled from the open wounds after fighting the group, the sinful aura of Avarice flowing, influencing the rest with a corrupting grasp. Oh, how it was fed-- as Aetherius kept stealing more and more from him. A man unable to be satisfied being tempted to the brink.

The epitome of covetousness ascended, the yellow aura screaming in unison to the words reverberating deep within his wicked psyche. Trembling irises, dilated with uncommon motions. Soon, the energy polarized with darkness was subjugated by his own immorality, conquering more of Saruin's resistance, trespassing the common limits of his etched stance.

"I... I..." between the index and middle finger, a single eye stared, the other obstructed by a fluttering palm, insanity still treading the Chosen-- announcing the forceful ransacking with deafening sounds. They resembled gold being mingled, darkness powers-- actually, it was mostly a mixture of everything.

Because such was his desire. Everything.

And Aetherius was reaping it all. Reaping his DESIRE. His appetite, his ambition, his craving, his passion, his desperate, insatiable and ominous... DESIRE.

"It's not too late to join me. Seek knowledge and a better future." diverging from the content, the words were stern, tones of pure earnestness as another rubicund lightning denounced Caesar's escape.

"And I will show it-- how this land deserves to be treated. Because there's only one person worthy of this new domain!"
(Caesar Valerius)

[21:44:57] LOOC - Eztli Xizoh: (oh uh

[21:46:40] The pasture boons, emerald swathes alit by prismatic colouring. Twisting tinctures rock the clearing, vermillion spears striking the earth - and the opposition - maniacally. The very earth threatens to fissure before each mighty cleave of Franz's style, Wind and Fire refined to both enhance and empower precise, ardent strikes.

The trio are powerful; twin sources rain starfire across the opening, with austere spheroids whirling from the depths of oblivion to tarnish the battlefield with meteoric power. So too does Exorcism fight against umbran command, shimmering runes of golden splitting outwards to torment the encroaching plague of Occult.

Grass wilts. Grass dies. Vermillion punctures trees in splitting throngs, shattering bark and spitting hunks of timber wayward. Blood coats the alchemist, a sticky sanguine ichor sloshed messily across a tan canvas. He is a powerful combatant in his own right, drawing upon raw untamed energy, to unleash it outwards, cleaving through flesh and tissue with ferocious might.

Franz falls. Saruin falters - briefly. Eztli tumbles. He locks magicka with the Sin of Greed only briefly, before he, too, is battered backwards. Saruin is not withheld from his bloody kill. This was a worthy consequence.

Icy-blues witness the fleeing Caesar, the pang of regret only fleeting. Allowing the Sin Magi to flee had been an oversight. "You fought well," Olander managed quietly, earnest visage spattered with grime and gore, crimson cicatrices streaking his cheeks and torso in deep, cumbersome gouges.

"Let us press forward."

[21:55:12] LOOC - Saruin Aradel: (the body is headless in the woods with a yokai eating it)
[21:56:03] One thing is learned in the first few moments of their fight-- Xoconan hits HARD.. The lightning magus' battle against him is a difficult one, but with their combined powers, and ability to keep a far distance while blasting magic, Fletcher and Xitlalli manage to defeat the War-chief..

As the crushing powers of gravity and wind magic send him into the ground, he lays there for a moment. Contemplating everything he did wrong and everything for a few moments. He coughs up star-dust. Perhaps it was because he'd just fought against Erenoa a few weeks ago that he was still.. pained, afflicted..

Holy-lightning magic flows off of his body in an act of pure aggression, because even if he was downed, could not leave the rune-scribe alone on this battlefield against the War-chief of the Coalition..

... and he runs. Instead of running away from the Watchtower from the man like he had done hours before, the staff in his hands, practically a magically enchanted branch, courses with lightning magic as he races forwards.

"..GEEEEET OFFFFFF'A MY STUPID FUCKIN' LAND!" He shrieks, as Fletcher closes the gap between himself and Xoconan at high speeds-- smashing the man in the face with the branch, and then stopping to stab him with the tips of it in the chest. Fletcher then coughs star-dust in the War-chief's face before dashing off to safety!

[21:59:28] Ravan whispers something.
[21:59:28] Saturno looks to his left seeking JaDrako. But he does not see him.
(Saturno)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:00:19] Ravan whispers something.
[22:00:19] Saturno says, "Who was... that guy"
[22:00:19] Unfortunately, the heat of battle allowed Xitlalli to fall into sin even moreso; toe be chased and hunted down by an aggressive 'brute' of a man due to her crimes!

The very thought of it was most heinous in her view, but this pursuit of justice wouldn't be a wise idea today; after all, like it or not, the sinful Spirit Dancer had supporters of her own and had been lucky enough to acquire what she'd deem as a 'Knight in Shining Armour'.

Nonetheless, a victory was a victory; no matter how cruel or honourless it may be.

"You can't excuse yourself for severing my connection with my best friend or...", a shimmering blue bolt of ether collected within Xitlalli's grasp there, before it tinted green as it flew out from her hand and slammed into Xoconan brutally.

Though as she did so, she sustained numerous burns, that marred her skin, frayed her hair and ultimately ruined some of those good looks that she prided herself upon; something she'd need to remedy in due time.

"You killed your friend AND my husband. You're a murderer. Don't hide behind 'justice' and-and...And-... Ugh. Ah! AHAHAAAA!", as she ranted and raved upon field of battle, screaming out loudly as each strike Xoconan placed upon her body; a mixture of perversion truly, pleasure and pain wrought from it.

The woman would continue her onslaught up until the point in which Fletcher moved in to push the man back even moreso, a way for her to be lazy, allowing another to do the finishing touches; she had done enough, but unfortunately given her rituals from earlier, had not been able to commit to a most foul deed against him due to fatigue. No, she wouldn't get to muddle with the man's mind as shedesired, but...

With Fletcher's aggressive strike of holy lightning, dashing forward with a branch and sending the strong War-Chief on his way, only to back off after what she viewed as a rather horrid strike; one that was sure to leave a mark, not the one that she desired of course, but nonetheless a mark upon Xoconan.

Her aura would dim and with it...?!

"Ahhh! My Knight!", she'd squeal in sultry fashion.

Xitlalli just couldn't help herself, with a hasty approach, the dancer hopped to and fro, to fawn over him. To officially label him as 'Knight in Shining Armour', as her right arm draped over Fletcher, drawing him towards her; as per the nature of Lust, she was fickle and her attention easily divided and swayed if that of what she desired entered her eye's view.

She'd begin to coerce him, pleading with the young boy or rather man in her view to join her.

[22:07:08] LOOC - Zogen: (omit
[22:08:51] "I DIDN'T KILL MY BEST FRIEND YOU WORTHLESS WHORE!" He screamed, violently, angrily in the middle of the battle. Striking out at random, unable to pick between which target had his ire more. The one that had branded his wife, that flashed her sin. Or the one that DEFENDED said sin.

"I'll kill you both, you fucks!" Plasma scorched, lightning sizzling the air. The Warchief was unbreakable. A Titan in his Nyeshk, an inspiring sight of gleaming armor that constrasted heavily with the twisted, raging man within.

He didn't care when he felt the lightning scorching him. Sapping his strength. His left arm stopped functioning right as electricity zipped through it, but rage suppressed that. Violent, he redoubled his efforts. He didn't need his legs, though they'd refuse to hold him up - he could fly.

And as he lined another, and another, strike against Xitlalli - Fletcher, who he'd thought broken down, landed the final blow. Blood came to his mouth, eyes widening. Even with that, with his mana expended, his hand came up, trying to burn the teen alive in plasma.

"D-die..." He muttered, eyes hateful, as he was sent backwards, attack failing.

He glanced around. To those that hadn't found fights. Silky, Paladin, Elizabeth. "CAPTURE THE LUST SIN, FOR FUCKS SAKE!" He yelled as he tried, in vain, to pull himself up to fight again.
(Xoconan)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:08:51] LOOC - Olander: ((omg xoconan chill..
[22:08:51] LOOC - Olander: ((ple a se...
[22:08:51] LOOC - Xoconan: (:unamused:)
[22:12:16] He looks towards Xitlalli as the lust sin begins to practically fawn over him, the boy giving off an awkward half-smile before an aura of holy-water erupted around his being once more.

"..J--just one second, then you can fawn over me! They're still trying to attack."

Fletcher, wielding the lightning-branch still, swings it around his body like a bo staff at their attackers. Surely they knew to back off now that he'd injured their leader..
(Fletcher)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:13:07] The Paladin's gaze remains focused on Xitlalli during the whole combat against Xoconan. It is a focused, stern gaze, enough for him to ignore completely what Ravan asks him. He nods towards the Fae, before one of his hands slowly rises up towards his own blade, his own holy energy shining dimly under his own armor.

The other one, grabs upon Elizabeth's arm as he leans closer for a friendly advice. "A sinner." The Paladin whispers, before quickly stepping down the same stairs he climbed up, his stare focused upon Xitlalli.

Of course, she had to reveal her own nature in such a brutish way, so straightforward that it looked like she was almost proud of it. He knew that the sudden attraction to the woman was a bad sign, so much that he almost lost control.

"You." The Paladin said, the hand finally grasping against the hilt of his own blade. The knight in white armor strode through the battlefield, the stare never leaving the girl.

A yellow mark starts spreading across the Paladin's chest as soon as he unsheathes the blade, coursing with holy energy. It spreads and ripples throughout the mythril, as his voice takes upon itself a booming tone, with a symphonic hum on the background. "Sinner. Surrender now, or you'll have to deal with worse."

The Paladin's irises started glowing with a powerful yellow tone as his armor was completely coated in yellow tint. As he walked past Xoconan, one hand was risen towards him, a quick flash of holy energy being sent his way, as powerful as it could be. "Turn yourself in, and you shall know all the mercy I can offer."
(Paladin)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:13:07] Xitlalli says, "Oh please."
[22:13:07] Xitlalli says, "You guys cooperate with sinners, don't play double-standards."
[22:13:07] LOOC - Paladin: (also: You can only intervene on battle results if you were there during its start ;)
[22:13:07] Xitlalli says, "Take a look at Oyaotl."
[22:13:07] Xitlalli says, "Also known as... Xoconan's mother."
[22:13:07] LOOC - Paladin: (I see you guys lining up there...)
[22:13:07] Xitlalli exclaims, "Hell, Hatsune was eating her out, for fuck's sake!"
[22:13:07] Noxim stands off in the distance with a vacant expression on his face, one hand delicately wiping the trail of gore away from the base of his chin. He shivered, licking away the flecks of blood from his palm, savoring the few moments he had finally received some fresh meat.

For better or worse, after the beast's conflict with Zogen, he was indisposed for the time being. At least, until someone or something would draw away his attention. As unlikely as that would've been.
(Noxim Florus)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:13:58] JaDrako Kumo exclaims, "Oh shit! Hahaha!"
[22:13:58] Olander says, "The Coalition - traitors, sinners, blasphemers and cowards - taking a moral high-ground."
[22:13:58] Noxim Florus says, "...Eating...Out."
[22:13:58] Xitlalli says, "Yeah."
[22:13:58] LOOC - Liu Shunjiao: (Did noxim beat zogen?)
[22:13:58] LOOC - Xoconan: (it only took)
[22:13:58] LOOC - Noxim Florus: (Yeah.)
[22:13:58] LOOC - Xoconan: (four danger checks in a row)
[22:13:58] Zyanya exclaims, "She ate someone?!"
[22:13:58] LOOC - Xoconan: (to qualify)
[22:13:58] Olander says, "Interesting."
[22:13:58] Elizabeth stepped up to Paladin's side, withdrawing the staff from her back with her one free hand. Xitlalli had a support mage of her own in the fight against Xocconan, but now she'd be fighting against another team of two. A familiar aura flared up around her body, holywaters warping up her form and forming a parallel between her and Fletcher.

The contrast being that she was much more powerful. Sorry little buddy.

"Chief, you must go and find safety. We'll handle it from here." she assured him, haphazardly training her staff in front of her with a one handed grip. She stood ready and willing to protect her ally, despite the injuries she had to deal with. Hopefully that lax essence would be enough to hold her over.

"I have your back, Paladin."
(Elizabeth Sharp)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:13:58] LOOC - Liu Shunjiao: (Well done)
[22:13:58] LOOC - Noxim Florus: (Took a bite out of Zogen's right shoulder.)
[22:13:58] LOOC - Elizabeth Sharp: (whoops)
[22:14:49] Elizabeth stepped up to Paladin's side, withdrawing the staff from her back with her one free hand. Xitlalli had a support mage of her own in the fight against Xocconan, but now she'd be fighting against another team of two. A familiar aura flared up around her body, holywaters warping up her form and forming a parallel between her and Fletcher.

[22:14:49] A single crimson bolt travelled with indescribable velocity, forcefully scattering remnants of dirt before manifesting Caesar's completely... broken structure. Blood covered his countenance while his digits penetrated the ground, angered-- one could clearly see the sparks of occultism rising from his palms, as the man stared into nothingness.

"They keep stealing from me... Aetherius..."

Nothing much to be said. Epiphanies enveloped his mind, the despairing scent treading and flowing. He was on the verge of merely emanating the power of hopelessness as the meticulous plans once again failed, especially when regarding the putrid demon city.

They had no dreams, no ambitions, not compared to Caesar! Yet... how could he lose?!

The Elsyrean's neck cracked, slightly turned back to face the others-- beckoned by the lustful aura coming from Xitlalli. A single judging look, a stare able to penetrate the crowd, cementing with bluntness like a knife.

"Where the fuck is Hatsune...? Where's EFFIGY? WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS PLACE?" a hateful voice parted from the white-haired one's lips, redoubled with insanity as the Chosen stiffened his spine, a gaze being exchanged between the countless members of Gaiar Aetherius.

His neck ached. Therefore, he had to scratch. Red-like marks coat the member, fingernails penetrating the fragile skin and oozing more blood.

Oh, how it wobbled, a loathing emotion that walks in unison to his dreams, the grudge when things are blatantly stolen from him.

Not much could be done regarding Xitlalli, but perhaps she would understand his expression.
(Caesar Valerius)

[22:58:20] Even as he walked, his stride slowly improved. Gaining strength, traction. Enough that he considered turning back, throwing himself at the Gaiar lines - if they hadn't already fallen back too far.

"She knew you." He said through grit teeth. Turning to face Caesar, fury etched on his face. "Why does Xitlalli call for you..."

His stave in hand. Even wounded, he glared. As if prepared to fight Caesar as he was. "Why does that slut ask for you?"
(Xoconan)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:02:36] Caesar cracked his neck, still recovering from the spoils of battle. Remnants of blood were still scattered through his body, specially the shimmering armor-- not so bright at the moment. Fixating his gaze upon Xoconan, the white-haired one turned to talk.

"Yes. She's my method of knowing what's inside Aetherius, after all. As you said, a slut, nothing more, nothing less." a laugh finished the sentence, before he added more.

"I am well focused on my plans. If it being united, or conquering, in her case... so be it. A human is made by all seven sins, and us, Sin Magis, are the epitome of one. Thus, the one who's able to gather them all has the power of humanity. It's... simple and clear."

Extending his hand to the Warchief, the serene tones parted from his labiums.

"Don't you think? Our cause is noble, and the ends will justify the means."
(Caesar Valerius)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:11:08] "And yet, she was so willing to out you." Xoconan spoke, voice still furious. The very ground beneath his feet turned black, melting underneath him.

"You're lucky you have men like me who don't want to see you gone quite yet." His hands clenched. Palms bleeding from the fight, the punctures in his Nyeshk showing blood as well. But Xoconan was already a morass of scars. Another two wouldn't make a difference.

"She's your contact? She knows you, trusts you?" The Warchief suddenly asked. "Bring her to me, then. And I'll give you anything you want."
(Xoconan)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:16:16] Ascending a cigarette to his mouth, the smoke pervaded the ambit. Caesar inhaled it, periodically stopping to breathe or talk more with Xoconan.

"Mm... I don't believe Xitlalli mentioned the word Caesar once... But yes. This is a problem. I believe we would benefit way more if that grudge could be forgotten. First of all, you have the potential to become a great sin-- I can feel it with my desire, and maybe could enhance yours."

Pausing, the sin influence ebbed for a moment, such corrupting force spreading with insane velocity through the place.

"Gettin' her outside of Aetherius is still hard. After all, they completely betrayed me, as you remember. We could really benefit from her power as a Lust Sin, if your anger is satiated. Maybe a way to misdirect it?"
(Caesar Valerius)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:25:39] LOOC - Caesar Valerius: ((i hab to log out
[23:25:39] LOOC - Xoconan: (g2g?)
[23:25:39] LOOC - Caesar Valerius: ((might white text respond you
[23:26:30] "She looked to you - and that Neries... Whoever the fuck he was, pointed it out as well." His arms folded, plasma rolling into his form. Fading. Much as he wanted a fight, he refused.

For now.


"She branded my fucking wife and turned her against me - and you want me to just... Forget?" Xoconan sounded incredulous. He took a threatening step towards Caesar, arms coming to his side. Glaring at the man. "What do you offer, I just beat some random person?"
(Xoconan)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:26:30] LOOC - Caesar Valerius: ((well its 00:30 and i have to wake up at 5 am
[23:26:30] LOOC - Xoconan: (oh)
[23:26:30] LOOC - Xoconan: (oh...)

[23:26:30] LOOC - Xoconan: (if I knew that)
[23:26:30] Caesar Valerius says, "No, not random people. There are better ways for this."
[23:27:21] Caesar Valerius says, "Anyway, I'll be going. We can discuss this tomorrow."
