  1. [18:24:25] The Giga Demon raised its arm in the air, raising five fingers-- speaking to five people here telepathically. The creature adorned fresh bruises and Holy scars. Something terrible had happened. The people of Jianghu had assaulted it.. but there was a twist.
  2.  
  3. It stared at Zaruma with gloomy, red, beady eyes-- looking down at the superior Archon. Without a twitch on his facial expression, it expressed itself in the best way it could.
  4.  
  5. "Jianghu tried to kill me. They were assisted by Cruxati. Gehenna started the lynch mob that tried to kill one of your fellow Demons. I assumed they had perhaps surrendered to us. I was wrong. Can we do something about this?"
  6.  
  7. Of course other Demon would've heard him, naturally.
  8. (Zogen)
  9. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  10.  
  11. [18:26:08] The Neries rather rudely steps in front of Eztli. It looks like he's got a question in mind- ... or at least an interest in the scythe-wielding Archon.
  12. (Saruin Aradel)
  13. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  14.  
  15. [18:26:59] Eztli Xizoh says, "Excuse me. "
  16. [18:26:59] LOOC - Athanatos: (did that nigga just die)
  17. [18:26:59] LOOC - Krio: (wot
  18. [18:27:50] LOOC - Krio: (thanks bud
  19. [18:27:50] "Ah, understood. I was unaware of the conditions of some servitudes, but I suppose it makes sense."
  20.  
  21. He paused, turning to watch as Zogen strolled forwards and... well, squinting. To a point, the Accursed even thought to bring up a gentle flow of Occultic magic as if to express a desire to battle.
  22.  
  23. "Perhaps I could prove myself here, should this demon seek o- " Levia choked on his words on hearing what'd happened. His silhouette of darkness was quickly, almost instantly, extinguished, and his eyes fluttered in a spasm of blinks.
  24.  
  25. "... Well, nevermind. That sounds like a more pressing issue."
  26.  
  27. Levia stood still like a statue of stone, staring blankly forward while waiting for something more to unfold.
  28. (Levia Alai)
  29. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  30.  
  31. [18:27:50] ... He seems to be ignoring Eztli. Would he get away with it-?
  32. (Saruin Aradel)
  33. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  34.  
  35. [18:28:41] Eztli Xizoh says, "Yes. Much better."
  36. [18:28:41] Saruin Aradel says, "Oof-"
  37. [18:28:41] Saruin Aradel says, "Hey, there's no need for shoving..."
  38. [18:28:41] Xeke Remira whispers something.
  39. [18:29:32] Suzerain says, "It is a man."
  40. [18:29:32] Xeke Remira says, "Indeed."
  41. [18:29:32] Suzerain says, "And I don't know, nor I care for the peasantry's unusual behaviors."
  42. [18:29:32] Xeke Remira says, "Thank you, that will do."
  43. [18:29:32] Xeke Remira says, "Hey athanatos, hey ru."
  44. [18:29:32] Xeke Remira asks, "Ru do you have any ambers for sale?"
  45. [18:30:24] That was certainly quite a surprise to hear.
  46.  
  47. The Archon turned towards the Giga Demon, his eyes widening. One could note the hints of anger-- no, fury itself sparkle in the shade of crimson portrayed in his hues.
  48.  
  49. "WHAT?!"
  50.  
  51. Zaruma exclaimed at a rather loud voice, taken aback, surprised and infuriated by such statement.
  52.  
  53. "WHO?! Who approved that? Names!"
  54.  
  55. "Tell me the Cruxati members that wished to have you dead. NOW!"
  56. (Zaruma)
  57. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  58.  
  59. [18:30:24] Athanatos says, "No."
  60. [18:30:24] Athanatos says, "I need some fire crystals."
  61. [18:31:15] Zogen says, "Strange fish."
  62. [18:31:15] Zogen says, "I do not know her name."
  63. [18:31:15] Eztli Xizoh says, "Hatsune is her name. "
  64. [18:31:15] Xeke Remira says, "Hatsune Panic."
  65. [18:31:15] Eztli Xizoh says, "She was the first to stand up against him, actually."
  66. [18:31:15] Zogen says, "The Gehennans said the Demons will die."
  67. [18:31:15] Suzerain says, "Fascinating."
  68. [18:31:15] Zogen says, "And then she attacked me."
  69. [18:31:15] Zogen says, "I'm not sure how I escaped."
  70. [18:31:15] Eztli Xizoh says, "She said only Gehennans were allowed in Jianghu, not demons. "
  71. [18:31:15] Zogen says, "Cowardice."
  72. [18:31:15] Xeke Remira says, "Why are the gehhenians so foolish..."
  73. [18:32:06] Suzerain says, "It seems we need a reunion with Vindict to discuss his neighbours."
  74. [18:32:06] Eztli Xizoh says, "Jianghu's leader woman then proceeded to say that they surrendered to Cruxati."
  75. [18:32:06] Eztli Xizoh says, "Not the demons."
  76. [18:32:06] Ah...
  77.  
  78. Never was there a dull moment when it came to these streets of Aetherius. This sudden realization that even still those that stood alongside them as allies were not safe to roam these lands since claimed by Gehenna. Pausing he seemed only to listen to the words of Zaruma with a gentle sway seeming to follow such.
  79.  
  80. "My... We were just discussing them acting out of line as well. Perhaps it is not Kayeliun alone who is the rat." He seemed to muse with a gentle dip of his head forwards. Nuisances, at every corner they needed only cleansed and now would be no exception to that very basic rule.
  81.  
  82. "Perhaps it is all of Cruxati that represents one giant rat, needing exterminated."
  83.  
  84. Ah... How exciting.
  85. (Noa Huitzilopochtli)
  86. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  87.  
  88. [18:32:57] Zogen asks, "Extermination?"
  89. [18:32:57] Choi Tae-Moon says, "There is a tragic irony that the only tribe to not fight Jianghu is the only one to desire peace."
  90. [18:32:57] Choi Tae-Moon says, "I feel an incredible amount of bile in the back of my throat."
  91. [18:32:57] Upon entering the large underground city, Alicia found herself cast into a great deal of awe. Not only were the structures itself odd, but the people who lived here seemed to supersede that entirely. Without saying or doing too much, Alicia did her best to keep her presence here to a minimum, even going as far as to cast her hood over her head in what could be a futile attempt to avoid interacting with the people here.
  92.  
  93. .. Fuckin' Marko.
  94. ( Alicia Wolfe)
  95. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  96.  
  97. [18:32:57] Eztli Xizoh says, "Cruxati focused on destroying Atl. "
  98. [18:33:48] Eztli Xizoh says, "Who actually assisted you all."
  99. [18:33:48] The Demon turned towards Noa, slowly walking forwards-- its head slowly tilting. Zogen points a finger at him.
  100. (Zogen)
  101. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  102.  
  103. [18:33:48] Noa Huitzilopochtli whispers something.
  104. [18:33:48] Effigy whispers something.
  105. [18:33:48] Zogen says, "Zogen thinks this one is intelligent."
  106. [18:33:48] Zogen says, "Wait here."
  107. [18:33:48] Noa Huitzilopochtli whispers something.
  108. [18:33:48] Noa Huitzilopochtli says, "Obviously.-"
  109. [18:33:48] ... Seeing the Demon's fury, Saruin decides to slink back and make himself look meek. This wouldn't be the time to pester the warlord.
  110. (Saruin Aradel)
  111. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  112.  
  113. [18:33:48] Noa Huitzilopochtli says, "I-"
  114. [18:33:48] Ru holds out a few chunks of ambers to Xeke, no words spoken. He knows the deal. She was too busy listening to this rabble...
  115. (Ru Xiang)
  116. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  117.  
  118. [18:33:48] Noa Huitzilopochtli says, "... I keep getting cut off."
  119. [18:33:48] LOOC - Xeke Remira: ((one moment))
  120. [18:33:48] Effigy whispers something.
  121. [18:33:48] Noa frowns.
  122. (Noa Huitzilopochtli)
  123. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  124.  
  125. [18:33:48] Noa Huitzilopochtli whispers something.
  126. [18:34:40] Athanatos picked up the Demon horn.
  127. (Athanatos)
  128. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  129.  
  130. [18:34:40] Xeke Remira says, "Thank you."
  131. [18:34:40] LOOC - Xeke Remira: ((I dunno why I had that horn tbh))
  132. [18:34:40] Ru takes the coins, completely the totally not shady drug deal. "No problem."
  133. (Ru Xiang)
  134. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  135.  
  136. [18:34:40] Effigy whispers something.
  137. [18:34:40] LOOC - Ru Xiang: (completing*)
  138. [18:34:40] Noa Huitzilopochtli whispers something.
  139. [18:34:40] LOOC - Ru Xiang: (I'm too awake to be this tired)
  140. [18:34:40] Noa Huitzilopochtli whispers something.
  141. [18:35:31] Noa Huitzilopochtli whispers something.
  142. [18:35:31] The Demon leans downwards, lifting a tile from the pavement of the temple grounds. Zogen pulls out a dead, rotten boar that it had collected from its frivolous adventures. Picking it up, it put the tile back down-- patting it for good measure.
  143.  
  144. Turning towards Noa, it dropped the boar at his feet-- no emotion whatsoever on Zogen's face. Its attention then returned to the Archon Zaruma.
  145. (Zogen)
  146.  
  147. [18:38:56] Zaruma was infuriated beyond recognition.
  148.  
  149. The usually apathetic, cold, careless Archon was seen indulging in his anger, the words alone spoken by the Demon enough to get on his nerves.
  150.  
  151. A storm of Fell Wind began to gather around him. Zaruma wasn't seen like this before.
  152.  
  153. "This wretched--! Conniving--! Deceptive APE!"
  154.  
  155. "How DARES she even do such thing, after her tribe did nothing but IDLE in the background, while the other tribes and my people have spilled their blood?"
  156.  
  157. The crimson in his eyes simply refused to die out. It was beaming with foul killer intent - the betrayal like this stung at his heart, and clearly, it made no good opinion of Cruxati in his mind.
  158.  
  159. "I am going to challenge Hatsune to fight me till one of us falls dead."
  160.  
  161. "This pathetic-- miserable excuse of a sentient being! I'll rip her throat out for that treachery!"
  162.  
  163. The Archon's eyes scanned over the square. Evidently, Zaruma was acting upon emotion probably the first time that the public eyes could see him, and he exclaims.
  164.  
  165. "Where's Osha?! Has she delivered that damned letter to Cruxati yet?"
  166. (Zaruma)
  167.  
  168. [18:44:03] The infuriated Archon spots Osha approaching by the corner of his eye.
  169.  
  170. "YOU!"
  171.  
  172. The Tempest itself walks. But that fury is not directed at the Cyclops, no-- it appears there's another reason for his anger, which quickly becomes apparent once he actually speaks.
  173.  
  174. "Have you delivered the letter to Cruxati?"
  175.  
  176. Impatiently, the crimson eyes stared upon the woman, awaiting his answer.
  177. (Zaruma)
  178. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  179.  
  180. [18:44:54] Sitting on the edge of the burning brazier, the Fae waved at the nearby Noa and the others that filled the square. The were a bit confused on what was going on, though it seemed that something serious was going down, what-not with Zaruma releasing literal cascades of occultic wind all around them.
  181.  
  182. "Hello there Mr. Noa, hello there Mr. Effigy...Whats uhh, what's this situation I'm waking up to?" They question what exactly is going on and smiling awkwardly waited for a response.
  183. (Ravan)
  184. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  185.  
  186. [18:44:54] Ravan says, "Mr. Zaruma seems to be...At it."
  187. [18:45:45] Saruin was still and quiet at the fringes of the scene. He flinches at the sight of the fellwinds- ... shrill chills run down his spine as he hears them, a howling gale of befouled gusts that shrieked with the sound of death throes and tormented screams. The wrath of the Archon beckoned the cries of the underworld itself-
  188.  
  189. ... -Saruin didn't want to linger anywhere near that. He glances about nearby. There's a huge demon with a rotten boar-carcass in tow nearby, and all the benches adjacent to him were occupied. He had to go, but the only way to escape was forward.
  190.  
  191. Then- a purple haired male steps in front of him. The fair-featured yet gaunt-looking Neries shows a tiny startle at their approach, for Zaruma's wrath had occupied the whole of his stressed attention. He didn't want to linger, but- ... he couldn't just ignore the Gaian either.
  192.  
  193. A pale, silver-toned hand grips the Accursed's and gives it a light squeeze, then a shake. "... Name's Saruin, just a Neries. Ravan's vassal." He introduces- with a worried glance back to Zaruma.
  194. (Saruin Aradel)
  195. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  196.  
  197. [18:47:28] The tall, armoured cyclops becomes motionless, lifeless and as still as a statue. The sudden outburst left her momentarily petrified, mortified even as she stood there with a dumbfounded expression.
  198.  
  199. As her body remains still, her eye darts around hastily, before remembering something. She snaps back to life, withdrawing a small, crisp letter from her pocket and extending it outward towards Zaruma.
  200.  
  201. Despite her steadfast nature, her large, calloused hand was shaking ever so slightly. "Here." She uttered in a coarse, gravelly tone, bearing a slight tinge of nervousness to it.
  202. (Osha)
  203.  
  204. [18:50:52] The Archon immediately tugs the letter away from the Cyclops once she offers it, perhaps almost ripping it off; the strength that Zaruma possessed was unrivalled, and in his fury, he did not care to excessively use it.
  205.  
  206. "Good! Good, good..."
  207.  
  208. The crimson hues travelled across the sheet of paper. A furrow was displayed at his face, and he immediately exclaimed after.
  209.  
  210. "EFFIGY! We're going."
  211.  
  212. The Mimic wasn't even left with the answer to say. Clearly, the Archon would insist anyway, even if Effigy declined to move along; there was a powerful pull of winds, and it appears that Archon was about to take off to fly into skies on his winds.
  213.  
  214. And the poor Mimic was to be dragged along on that Fell Tempest.
  215. (Zaruma)
