Ikkaku - Amoxtli's Sin Purge (6/22)

[00:32] Ikkaku Ukitake asks, "What exactly is going on here?"
[00:33] Akio Koyanagi says, "Raya's gentle heart has created a problem."
[00:33] Akio Koyanagi says, "In summary."
[00:33] Rha'kharo says, "I gave an order to officer Raya to execute Amoxtli."
[00:34] Amoxtli was shaking, physically. The wound on her chest reopened, blood spilling from the open puncture on her chest, going deep between the area between her heart and her lung. Crying, shaking, her winds kicked up more and more force as the fibers on the felts around her started to move and hover- it'd get harsh, soon.

Until, she heard THAT voice. She SCREAMED. "I-- AGREED ta' have my sin cured, ta' never fight again-- I-- I'm HONORABLE. I was COOPERATIONAL, I DID EVERYTHIN'. YET, AS SOON AS THE QILIN WHO SAID NOT TA' KILL ME LEFT, THEY ORDERED MY EXECUTION."

Her voice breaks at points, voice hoarse. She's in pain. "YAH PROMISED ME A TRIAL, IKKAKU. YAH MEN ARE WORSE THEN LUCAN EVER WAS. WHY?"
(Amoxtli)
[00:34] Mythran Yugao whispers something.
[00:34] Akio sighs.
(Akio Koyanagi)
[00:34] Akio sighs.
(Akio Koyanagi)
[00:34] Akio Koyanagi says, "She chooses to fight a war against us, then decides she deserves the benefit of the doubt."
[00:35] Ikkaku Ukitake asks, "Was the order to execute approved by Kotei? And was she promised a trial?"
[00:35] Akio Koyanagi asks, "How many could Raya have saved, if she was not occupied with this fiend?"
[00:35] Rha'kharo says, "Kotei was never around."
[00:35] Rha'kharo says, "It was the other one."
[00:35] Amoxtli says, "Ever since that fight-- Ikkaku, between Tragedy and yah, 'nd I, she's had an eye for me. If I didn't go ta' ta' war, a smoke bomb would'a been shoved down my throat again."
[00:35] Maiya Shen whispers: Mmmh. . .
[00:36] Ikkaku Ukitake says, "Ming? "
[00:36] Amoxtli says, "I tend ta' the farms in Cruxiti now. I ain't even with Gaiar."
[00:36] Rha'kharo says, "No. Xue."
[00:36] Ikkaku Ukitake says, "Ah."
[00:36] Ikkaku Ukitake asks, "<They glanced towards Amoxtli> If you are not with Gaiar, then what were you doing at the battlefield?"
[00:36] Akio Koyanagi says, "Fear is not a valid excuse to act against us, only to sit on the sidelines."
[00:36] Ikkaku Ukitake says, "Cruxati pulled out of the war."
[00:36] Akio Koyanagi says, "...I will step aside."
[00:36] Raya is just... paralyzed, tears streaming down her face.
(Raya L'Paix)
[00:37] Rha'kharo says, "Tsk."
[00:37] Amoxtli says, "Yes, but yah don't displease lady Tragedy. It's.. death."
[00:37] Rha'kharo says, "Now that you're here I'm going."
[00:37] Nofaren says, "Rha."
[00:37] Rha'kharo says, "I can't be bothered with this anymore-"
[00:37] Rha'kharo asks, "What?"
[00:37] Nofaren says, "Let me fight."
[00:37] Rha'kharo says, "No."
[00:37] Nofaren says, ".."
[00:37] Rha'kharo says, "Fight the stupidity first. Then I'll think about it."
[00:38] Ikkaku Ukitake says, "So then your loyalty to 'lady Tragedy' extends more then your loyalty to Cruxati."
[00:38] Amoxtli says, "I was fighting for survival. I would have been killed if I hadn't, now that Tragedy's attention and interest is on me."
[00:38] Nofaren says, "I could end it a while ago. You know this."
[00:38] Amoxtli says, "Yah know Sibri wouldn't stop 'er if she just walked right in 'nd killed me."
[00:38] Nofaren says, "This collar isn't a restraint."
[00:38] Amoxtli says, "No one does."
[00:39] Ikkaku Ukitake asks, "Is she in a collar?"
[00:39] Amoxtli says, "I even-- I even clawed out my Gaiar tattoos. Years ago. I can show yah ta' scars, if I must, but--"
[00:39] Amoxtli says, "..no, I'm not."
[00:39] Amoxtli says, "They couldn't find one."
[00:39] Ikkaku Ukitake asks, ".. Adamantium and steel, right Akio?"
[00:39] Amoxtli says, "Thank fuck I ain't in one, though, otherwise yah loyal men would've slaughtered me by now."
[00:40] Raya L'Paix says, "I---... I looked everywhere for a collar."
[00:40] Rha'kharo says, "Again Amoxtli. If I really wanted to do it myself. I would have."
[00:40] Raya L'Paix says, "There was none."
[00:40] Rha'kharo says, "A collar isn't an obstacle."
[00:40] Ikkaku Ukitake asks, "Amoxtli; I once asked you to find cleansing for your sin. Why did you resist then if you were going to seek it out now?"
[00:40] Amoxtli says, "Suha was treatin' me."
[00:40] Raya L'Paix says, "She said-- She said--"
[00:40] Amoxtli says, "Back in Crafthold."
[00:40] Raya L'Paix says, "Suha is building a church in Crafthold."
[00:40] Amoxtli says, "She is."
[00:40] Ikkaku Ukitake says, "You did not say that."
[00:41] Amoxtli says, "She is NOW."
[00:41] Amoxtli says, "It's been years since we last fought."
[00:41] Ikkaku Ukitake says, "You said 'I refuse to heal my sin'."
[00:41] Raya L'Paix says, "She told me this, that Suha is afraid if she walks in she will be executed."
[00:41] Xing Jiahao whispers something.
[00:41] Amoxtli says, "--I.. I was dumb, I was dumb, I'm sorry."
[00:41] Kana whispers something.
[00:41] Amoxtli says, "I see more clearly now. I'm sorry."
[00:41] Amoxtli says, "I'm so fuckin' sorry."
[00:41] Akio spaced out a little.
(Akio Koyanagi)
[00:42] Maiya Shen whispers: What sin is she?
[00:42] Ikkaku Ukitake whispers: Gluttony.
[00:42] Akio Koyanagi says, "Suha is a traitor and deserving of death."
[00:43] Xing Jiahao says, ".. I don't mean to interject for long, but I have a quick question that needs a quick answer. My apologies for intuding."
[00:43] Amoxtli says, "Nd that attude is why she hasn't come back ye-- speakin' outta line. I'm sorry."
[00:43] Akio Koyanagi says, "-- I can fetch a collar if required, but I don't believe it is."
[00:43] She turns-- facing towards Amoxtli. A hand extends, reaching for the Drakan's chest. Blood is wiped away by Holy water, soothing the injury placed by Raya's own hands. When she's finished, it slides up to the older woman's shoulder, gently pushing her closer to the gates---

Before Ikkaku.

"She prostrated before me and begged for mercy." Raya spoke softly. "I don't know what to do."
(Raya L'Paix)
[00:43] Rha'kharo walked up towards Maiya, putting a hand on her head. "As for you. The battlefield is not a playground. Stay in school. Next time I hear reports of you loitering around there's going to be some serious issues between you and I. Got it?"
(Rha'kharo)
[00:43] Maiya looks at Ikkaku for a moment.
(Maiya Shen)
[00:43] Ikkaku Ukitake asks, "<They look towards Xing> Ask?"
[00:43] Xing Jiahao asks, "Has Feitan returned?"
[00:43] Ikkaku Ukitake says, "I have not seen them."
[00:44] Xing Jiahao says, "I.. see."
[00:44] Mythran Yugao says, "Talk to Kojima."
[00:44] Xing bowed.
(Xing Jiahao)
[00:44] Xing Jiahao says, "Thank you, Regent Ukitake."
[00:44] Mythran Yugao says, "If anyone knows of his fate it'd be him."
[00:44] Ikkaku Ukitake says, "<They nod> It's nothing. May hte light guide your path."
[00:44] Xing Jiahao says, "I'll find Kojima."
[00:45] Kana whispers something.
[00:47] Amoxtli attempts to take a step back once Raya approaches her once again, clearly paranoid of the former's previous killing intent. In fact, everyone seemed to have quieted down in the presence of Ikkaku; this was perhaps the one person they wouldn't defy.

Shaking, bleeding, and morally wounded, she'd push herself to the prison bars and lean on them, cold fingers grasping even colder bars.

"I agreed ta' Raya ta' do anythin' it takes ta' redeem myself. Ta' fix ta' Sin. If Suha couldn't do it, yah can. I know yah can. Please. I'll bow again if I have ta', but, please."

"Don't let me die like this, surrounded by folk who are less moral then I am. I'll do anything. Tell anythin'. Willin'ly drink a truth potion 'nd tell yah all yah need ta' know, just please-- don't let me die."

She was begging for her life.
(Amoxtli)
[00:50] Akio Koyanagi says, "...I won't argue anything more, Lord Regent. I will fetch the collar-- but remember the words I spoke to you before."
[00:53] The sky blue eyes stared into the cell towards the Drakanite, no emotion able to be detected past that ominous skull mask. Several steps closer to the bars were taken as they stared towards the sin mage. Fists ball towards their side before there is a tapping upon their right leg, the metallic sound able to be heard across the room.

"Do you remember taking my leg? Or all the other times that you feasted upon people? What proof do you have that you are capable of being saved? You've only become willing once there is a risk of death involved from what I can tell. And I am not overly merciful to foes who cause innocents to be injured.

Three months. That is all the time you will be willing to be granted. You will either make progress in three months, progress that the Qilin and I will judge.

Or you will be executed. No ifs, ands, or buts. Do we understand each other?"

A glance is made towards Akio. "A collar will be necessary."
(Ikkaku Ukitake)
[00:54] Akio Koyanagi says, "...This one must not be allowed the free reign Violet had."
[00:54] Ikkaku Ukitake says, "They will stay in the cell."
[00:54] Akio sets down the anti-magic stuff.
(Akio Koyanagi)
[00:54] Akio Koyanagi says, "...Raya can apply it."
[00:54] Setzer says, "..."
[00:54] Ikkaku Ukitake says, "Raya, come take the collar."
[00:54] Nofaren says, "Rha, after this we need to have a talk."
[00:55] Amoxtli says, "..I'm.. sorry 'bout ta' leg. Yah can take mine, if it helps."
[00:55] Rha'kharo says, "I'm going to rest Nofaren."
[00:55] Rha'kharo says, "Later."
[00:55] Nofaren says, "Fucker."
[00:55] Raya looks over at Amoxtli. Given the insane amount of people here, she doubted the woman would attempt to escape, but-- she acts as if she's at a dog kennel trying to make sure a rowdy lab doesn't slip through her legs.
(Raya L'Paix)
[00:55] Amoxtli says, "I-- I have children. I have a life outside of'a fightin', I can abandon that."
[00:55] Amoxtli says, "Abandon fightin', that is."
[00:55] Amoxtli says, "I-- I'm not sure how I'll make progress, without yah-- yah're the only that that can.."
[00:56] Raya clips the collar onto Amoxtli's neck with a subdued 'snap', tears still streaking down her cheeks.
(Raya L'Paix)
[00:56] Amoxtli weakly raises a hand for the anti-magic restraints to be placed on. Judging from the scarring around her neck, it was likely a terrible wound would open up if the collar were applied around.. well, her neck.

Besides, she's already lost a lot of blood.
(Amoxtli)
[00:56] Raya puts it on her hand. Cute bracelet.
(Raya L'Paix)
[00:57] Amoxtli says, "--fuCKIN'BULLSHITTHATHUR,.. ughhghh.."
[00:57] Maiya head tilt.
(Maiya Shen)
[00:57] Setzer whispers something.
[00:57] Amoxtli loses her halfshift, looking miserable in the process.
(Amoxtli)
[00:59] He extended a hand out, making a finger gun as he pointed it towards the prison bars. Aiming carefully before letting a small orb of energy form on his finger tip.

"Raya...If she fails and goes back on her words---"

He said, the orb shooting out heading straight for the Elyserian before dispersing into many harmless tiny particles. Not saying anything else after that as he started to walk out. But it was clear Raya had been giving chances and yet still somehow managed to earn a strike for each opportunity. Maybe it was Rha's way of saying time is almost up.
(Rha'kharo)
[00:59] Ikkaku Ukitake asks, "Raya, you are able to attune to the lifestream, correct?"
[01:00] Raya blinks at the motes of light, wiping her eyes.
(Raya L'Paix)
[01:00] Raya L'Paix says, "Yes."
[01:01] Ikkaku Ukitake says, "Pick up the remote and hm.. I might require another user of Order."
[01:02] Raya blinks. She's holding the remote.
(Raya L'Paix)
[01:02] Raya L'Paix says, "I don't-- use Order, exactly. Just... mildly attuned to it."
[01:02] Ikkaku Ukitake asks, "Do you know of any other Order users in Ardent?"
[01:02] Maiya simply turned looking at Rha'kero, shaking her head. "There is no need to threaten our own especially. Inhumane nature is unbecoming, even for the shrewd." The Ookami simply stated.

The Ookami took a deep breath. Her head turning like she was listening inwards towards the sin. "Even if only lipservice in the face of death, there is a very firm palpable state of hers to seek life, to repent, as it is the only option."

"I've always bee a bit against some gehennans, and I've only heard ill of sins, never have I even heard of one so vigorously pleading." The Ookami simply took a deep breath.

"Anyway, Ikkaku, about that discussion the other day, perhaps we could remedy the need? Or would it take too much time?" Her head canted tot he side, looking upon the elected.
(Maiya Shen)
[01:02] Raya L'Paix says, "---"
[01:02] Raya L'Paix says, "I don't know of any, but--"
[01:03] Akio Koyanagi says, "-- I am attuned to Order. Not, though, meditating on shallow mercies."
[01:03] Akio Koyanagi says, "I don't believe I can be of assistance."
[01:03] Ikkaku Ukitake asks, ".. Are you able to manipulate the world with your mind?"
[01:03] Akio Koyanagi says, "Of course."
[01:03] Maiya Shen says, "Not as of yet."
[01:03] Ikkaku Ukitake says, "Akio, come forwards. Raya, connect with the lifestream."
[01:04] Raya L'Paix asks, "--- Why is Maiya here?"
[01:04] Raya L'Paix says, "She's not a part of the military."
[01:04] Maiya Shen asks, "Eh?"
[01:04] Raya L'Paix says, "Or the government."
[01:04] Akio frowns, stepping forward with some reluctance.
(Akio Koyanagi)
[01:04] Raya L'Paix says, "Amoxtli."
[01:04] Raya L'Paix says, "I'm sorry. For threatening you earlier, and such."
[01:04] Raya L'Paix says, "For ripping you away from your children."
[01:04] Raya L'Paix says, "But it's for your own good."
[01:05] Amoxtli says, "...please don't stab my heart."
[01:05] Ikkaku Ukitake says, "Amoxtli, head against the wall on the northern side. And I warn you, this procedure will hurt, and afterwords, you will still need to be monitored."
[01:05] Amoxtli says, "I--.. aight."
[01:05] Amoxtli says, "..I can't take ta' visor off, though."
[01:08] Amoxtli paused, slowly pushing herself to unsteadily stand. She was alive, her head not on a stake; it seems all of the effort of hours had finally paid through. She'd take a knee on of the cushions, head being placed against a wall.

Her breathing unsteady, still. "..." She mutters something under her breath.
(Amoxtli)
[01:08] Amoxtli whispers something.
[01:10] A quiet hum escapes her lips. It's the same melody as before-- the one on the battlefield and her healing session. Yet it's almost... somber this time, her tone low. Perhaps the two besides her would be familiar with it-- maybe not.

Golden threads formed around her, weaving into a tight blanket that swirled around her in heavy arcs. Her hair and clothing remained untouched-- staying still despite the action of the world around her. Raya's aureates closed.

They thickened into almost a liquid-like consistency when her hand extends out-- dripping through her fingers.

"Okay." Her tone is soft, almost as if she was singing. "Lead the way, Ikkaku."
(Raya L'Paix)
[01:12] Maiya waves idly as she nods. "I'll leave you guys to this, Ikkaku, I'd like to follow that conversation ser."
(Maiya Shen)
[01:14] The masked Regent takes a couple of steps forwards, sky blue eyes widening slightly as if attempting to gaze at the laylines of the world. The benevolent feeling around them would increase as they stepped several times closer to the drakanite. The golden glow of the Emperor's first blessing radiated, the singular small Angelic wing having formed upon Ikkaku's back.

"Let me make this clear; This will hurt. And, if it wasn't for Akio and Raya also being present, I wouldn't be able to do this at all. Order requires harmony. It requires bringing together multiple to fulfill a goal. In other words?

With Akio and Raya being here you would likely die in the near future."

A purifying power could be felt, boiling and bubbling within the gloved right hand of the Regent. With that they glanced towards Raya and Akio and blood would be released from vials as if attempting to make runes, or replicate the laylines in mid-air.

"Akio, Raya. Focus and attune by my side. I'll show you something unique."
(Ikkaku Ukitake)
[01:20] The Kitsune is visibly displeased as he entered the cell, compliant nonetheless in his loyalty to a man whom he had placed both his hopes upon and the heavy weight of obligation. He expels a breath from his nose, inhaling audibly-- seeking to cool his head.

Even for a fledgling Order Magi, the demands of his personal mission rarely failed to inspire passions.

"...As you wish." He bows his head curtly, returning his mind to the foundations of his attunement; Namely, a willingness to sacrifice everything for the preservation and betterment of others.

Select others.

To be undiscriminating was mere foolishness.

Akio observes, alert and ready to lend any aid required.

(Akio Koyanagi)
[01:23] As opposed to her... unwilling partner, the woman would be wholeheartly into the rehabilitation of the Sin magi. A delicate smile decorated her lips as she moved towards Amox, standing besides Ikkaku. One hand moved as if to rest upon her shoulder, as if to comfort her--

But a brief eye open to study the Regent would cause her to falter, retreating it back to her side. Instead, the Elsyrean would continue to hum-- the volume increasing. All of her energy and focus was not spent on outwardly producing music, but--

On listening to what the world desired.
(Raya L'Paix)
[01:29] There was far too much Order in this room for the Sin to feel comfortable. Still shaking from her previous injuries, she kept her held keenly to the back wall, remembering all too well of Ikkaku's manipulation of blood. Unaware of what he was doing, she'd speak up.

"...I understand. I can deal with pain, I--.. I understand." She was lying, for once; she didn't understand, working together not being a skill of her's and her understanding of the Arcane next to nothing, at best. Yet, she still tensed up, preparing for whatever the Virtue was doing.

She had no choice but to cooperate. Perhaps, it would be better if she did. Biting down on her lower lip in advance, she'd 'close' her eyes.

...not that anyone could tell she did that, anyways.

Visor eyes didn't show that.
(Amoxtli)
[01:35] "This power is called purification."

The laylines that Ikkaku could see and sense would grow thinker as the singular right gloved hand moves forwards, settling upon Amoxtli's shoulder. A blue glow came from them before it was almost as if it were sinking into her psyche. The feeling of Gluttony that dwelled within would be..

It was almost as if a hand were forcibly shoving it down, deeper and deeper into Amoxtli's being. The process, as promised, would not be a painless one. At first it would almost be as if there were a ringing for the Drakanite, and following that it would feel slightly like a growing burning pain.

"Akio, focus upon harmonizing with my action. Add your force atop mine and assist in pushing. Raya, connect with the lifestream and feel outwards towards the chaos within. Also attempt to force the sin downwards, and imagine placing it within a lock."

At this point? Amoxtli would be able to resist if she truly desired, the process only beginning and would likely need to be subdued if she wished to retrain her sin. However if she didn't.. The process seemed to draw ever closer to being completed.
(Ikkaku Ukitake)
[01:41] Incapable of the feat Raya was, Akio nonetheless chooses to play his part with the utmost effort and focus. Through the superior Order Magi's words, he grasped a better idea of what they were attempting to carry out-- his eyes hidden beneath his blindfold once more.

It was a tad easier, perhaps, to mend his will into the world absent sight.

"The Sin cannot be forgotten, but..." He murmurs remnant disapproval, complying regardless. Perhaps the easiest role of the three, he merely lends his own strength atop that of Ikkaku's; It was in the hands of greater forces now, whether it would be a success or not.

(Akio Koyanagi)
[01:43] Raya would perform a motion for herself-- a hand outstretching towards the thick fabrics of the Lifestream around her, letting it rest upon her palm. This same hand would now move to rest upon Amoxtli's head, golden light shining upon the Holy magi.

The Elsyrean's eyes remained closed, the words of the Regent guiding her path. To imagine a lock required her to imagine a place to put it in, a world in which to seek it out. She thought of the Gluttonous Drakanite, of the affliction that marred her, that kept her company and alive throughout the years. Of how it ate away the happiness of others, of herself, of a future it gave her children without a mother.

Raya thought of Amoxtli, all alone.

Instead of a lock... she imagined ribbons, all sorts, grabbing upon the monster within and binding it deep down. To seal it away with constant effort and application, to pry the illness from the emaciated woman. Most of all, Raya wished to see...

"Show usthe true you, Amox. One not defined by Sin."
(Raya L'Paix)
[01:50] There's muffled screaming as her hand clenched the pillow below, grasping fast to hold the fabrics within. Like any expected pain, she'd manage to bite down on her already-bleeding lips to try and block out her own screams. It worked mostly; alas, it still didn't do anything for the tears flowing down her face.

It was an attack that had gotten past her primary defenses, attacking something she had spent a large majority of her adult life defending and developing. It was far from being as powerful as many other sins, but it didn't stop her from naturally wanting to resist.

Never before had the Drakan had to face such submission. Such a long time ago, when Katzan left his mark, it had forced her in a position like this. But, this-- this was worse. She actually had the option to resist.

Rippp.

She tore the pillow from the sheer force of her grip, the fragile fabric in her hands shaking violently as she forcedherself to stand down. The trio's work would go without any assisted difficulty from Amoxtli's part, but it was clear she was struggling emotionally and mentally by doing so.

"MNFHPFK."

Well, that certainly was a word, forced through muffled teeth.
(Amoxtli)
[01:58] Amoxtli accepted it.

It would be painful, similar to rebooting the Drakanite's systems in many ways, and the only reason it was able to get as far as it did was because of the presence of another Order mage and a Harmonic attunement user. There was an exhale as the laylines further pressed Amoxtli's sin back and back until.. It was mostly hidden in a haze of her mind. Almost as if order had sealed it up nice and tightly into a ribbon.

It didn't mean that she was free from sin however. In fact, Amoxtli would have cravings and wanting of Gluttony for days to come that would require therapy and likely more time with Harmonic attunement users to entirely get under control. However the chaos within would grow more and more sealed, more and more lost. And finally?

It was done. The sin was forced back and the glowing blue hand retracted back to the Regent. The sky blue eyes looked over towards Raya. "Make progress with her. Or this will all have been for naught."

[[Amoxtli has been purified of her v1 sin. Currently this causes the loss of the mechanical ability and either it, or 10 rpp cane be apped for in the future, depending on where the dev takes her.

This process is not perfect, and Amoxtli will suffer from withdrawal/lingering addition. Therapy is required to fully recover from sin magic.

Ps. In case anyone is wondering this is an apped for ability.]]
(Ikkaku Ukitake)
[02:01] When Ikkaku's hand is retracted-- hers stays, gently ruffling the chocolate locks of the Gehennan. There's a brief smile of success upon her lips, a wider grin than normal, before sinking back into her everyday lackdasial style.

"I understand." The Elsyrean says quietly, now moving her arms back to her side. "For now, she's had a rough day. I think it's time for you to sleep, yes?"

Her eyes opened, gaze looking upon Amoxtli.

"I'll see you in the morning. We can start bright and early."
(Raya L'Paix)
[02:04] As harsh as Akio might appear at times, lending his hand in aid to treat others was by no means a new thing. To utilise the Arcane in the pursuit of such however very much was. He did his best to synchronise with the others, until the moment of achievement.

He could at last be at ease, allowing his posture to slacken in the slightest with the discontinued need to put in such an effort. The male turns, from Amoxtli to Rayan with a blinded gaze; A pause, and a few select words are given.

"...I welcome the opportunity to be wrong about this one. Don't disappoint me, or the Lord Regent."

A curt bow of his head, as he heads for the exist-- waiting by the cell, for the most brief of words for Ikkaku.

Unrelated to this business.

(Akio Koyanagi)
[02:15] Amoxtli remained shaking, still and stressed from the unfamiliar feeling. Her mouth opened, agap for a moment, before she'd simply fall to her side- on another cushion, thankfully- and kepe shaking.

It was more then a shock to her. She'd likely move once she'd processed the change in her entire mentality. Muttering something, she shook, silent for the time being. It was unlikely she'd be the best conversation partner for the next hour or so.
(Amoxtli)
[02:18] Oh no.. It was like he had used lightning magic on her brain it seemed. There was a small look of concern within those sky blue eyes before just giving a nod and turning around. "It would be best to let her rest.

And I hope she can be re-educated into a productive member of society after this. Her sin drove her to her herself and others. Now, if we lead her away from that.. She has a chance to do good. A small chance, but a chance."

Ikkaku walked towards the door, seemingly ready to hear Akio's words.

"See you in three months Amoxtli."
(Ikkaku Ukitake)
[02:18] Akio Koyanagi whispers: One-- no, two things...
[02:18] Akio Koyanagi whispers: First, Anta did not return. I ask that Esther be allowed to take over her store of alchemy ingredients.
[02:18] Akio Koyanagi whispers: For the greater good, of course. Not greed.
[02:18] There was one thing she did before she left. Scooping her up-- bridal style, no less-- the woman would gently place the passed out Amoxtli onto the bed, tucking her in.

And then, she was off-- other matters to attend to.

"Goodnight, Amoxtli."

[02:18] Ikkaku Ukitake whispers: She didn't? I'm disapointed to hear that. didn't know her well, but seemed nice. Request approved.
[02:19] Akio Koyanagi whispers: -- Second, I encountered Amane on the field of battle. I'm not sure if you've seen the report, yet.

[02:20] Ikkaku Ukitake whispers: She is a traitor. I was informed of that a few months ago by Dan that she had been seen in Valmasia, raising an Oscuri with Coltrane.

[02:21] Ikkaku Ukitake whispers: It is fine. We make people bigger then they are in our imaginations, but reality is not always so glamourous.
[02:21] Ikkaku Ukitake whispers: Should you have the chance to execute her on the field... I will not be bothered if you did so. It is nessasary for those who would draw their weapon for the Archons. Even if it hurts a little inside.
[02:21] Akio Koyanagi whispers: I understand, completely.
[02:22] Akio Koyanagi says, "...I will leave it at that-- I pray somebody more worthy comes to replace her."
[02:22] Ikkaku Ukitake says, "<They nod> As do I..."
[02:23] Akio Koyanagi says, "I'll inform Esther, then-- excuse me, Lord Regent."
[02:23] Ikkaku Ukitake says, "May the light guide your path Akio. Order binds us."
[02:23] Akio Koyanagi says, "-- Indeed it does."
