[00:37] <Kroked> The_Viceregent: you were speaking with Nate, and being taught, when a Returner came to him, telling him he had a Visitor
[00:37] <Kroked> Somoeone he should see immediatly
[00:37] <Kroked> Nate apologizes to you for the interruption, and says you're welcome to come with
[00:38] * The_Viceregent nods and continues while walking with Nate
[00:40] <Kroked> you follow him into what used to be the Throne room of the Valoran ROyal palace, though the throne is gone, replaced by a chair and a desk
[00:40] <The_Viceregent> "So I'd been studying the formulas, very nice stuff by the way, and I suddenly realized that...has anyone developed their own formulas dealing with magic since the return?"
[00:41] <Kroked> nobody is here yet, "A couple are doing some research yes, I check in on them periodically"
[00:42] <Kroked> "Excuse me a moment though, i should see to the guest."
[00:42] <Kroked> he calls out "Let them in!"
[00:42] <Kroked> the door open, and a gruff looking man is let in, flanked by some returners
[00:43] <Kroked> Nate's eye widen a bit, and he becomes rather quiet
[00:43] * The_Viceregent puts his hands behind his back and observes
[00:43] <Kroked> The_Viceregentyou recognize them, you never got to see them in person, for some reason you could never get close to their home

[00:48] <Kroked> Nate sighs "Your variety of tag isn't something they're familliar with" he says witha  wry smile
[00:49] <Kroked> "...Chris... I'm really not sure what to say."
[00:49] * Christopher shrugs
[00:50] <Christopher> "How bout an explination? We spent months looking for you. An she spent HER WHOLE LIFE looking for you. A reason would be nice."
[00:50] <Kroked> "...are you doing alright. I've had reports about your state after..."

[00:54] * Chris_ is now known as Christopher
[00:55] <Kroked> "...It was for the best. These goverments... they were diseased rotten."
[00:55] <Kroked> "You should know"
[00:55] <Kroked> "You helped cut off one of the rotten pieces"
[00:56] <Christopher> "Right, right, they are assholes. No reason to go about things like you did."
[00:57] <Kroked> "If I hadn't, they would have just kept coming. They had all the power, they were... nigh untouchable. some were simply more.... extreme, than others, and had their own kind retaliate"
[00:57] <The_Viceregent> ^roll 1d100+10
[00:57] <Aksa> You rolled a raw 70
[00:57] <Aksa> Your total is 80
[00:59] <Kroked> "The only way to stop it, and for the overall good in general, was to pull the weed by the roots."
[01:00] <Christopher> "And you decied to break the whole world to do it? I mean im not the most tactful of people out there, but common, even i could of done better. How did you do it anyways? Bring magic back an all."
[01:03] <Kroked> "I admit the mess was a bit... bigger than I anticipated. but even that was worth it, don't you see? THere were no Hunters before magic left. With magic, they didn't need them. and they won't again. and under one world goverment, there will be no more wars either, no need for a standing army. I'm not saying everything will be perfect, or that it will happen over night... but this is far better
[01:03] <Kroked> than what we had."
[01:05] * Christopher laughs "Are you shitting me? From then till now we have become very.. effective.. at killing even without magic. Now every joe bob an his brother can do what us hunters spend years training to do simple by snaping their fingers. You say its going to get better? I say the worse is yet to come."
[01:06] <Kroked> "You seem to have become very... ignorant, of how the common populace lives chris."
[01:06] <Kroked> "Hunters..."
[01:06] <Kroked> "Hunters are gods among men"
[01:07] <Kroked> "They can do things that seem impossble to most people, you put the work in, and gained that power without even realizing it."
[01:07] <Kroked> "BUt you're /beyond/ most mortals."
[01:07] <Kroked> "You and your friends especially"
[01:07] <Christopher> "Ignorant? Up to a few years ago i was just one of those common people, i know the shit theyve been through an whats still going on, dont think for a second i havnt."
[01:08] <Kroked> "I think you have simply become detached from what they cna do"
[01:08] <Kroked> "You spent 2 years surrounde dby people of the same caliber as yourself., and barelya ny around normal people"
[01:09] <Kroked> "You aren't aware of just how amazing you've become chris"
[01:11] <Christopher> "An what the hell would you know? Youve been gone the past 20 plus years remember? Mom would knock me on my ass if i got up on a high horse like you. Forgeting where you came from is unthinkable."
[01:11] <Kroked> "...I'm... Chris, I'm not trying to sound haughty."
[01:11] <Christopher> "Sure as hell seems like it old man."

[01:17] <Kroked> "To kill the unkillable"
[01:18] <Kroked> "A sigle, experience hunter, could take on a full amry himself, and come out none the worse for wear."
[01:18] <Kroked> "These are not boasts, I was never a hunter myself"
[01:18] <Kroked> "These are /facts/"
[01:18] <Kroked> "You Hunters... are unique, special."
[01:19] <Christopher> "Figured it had somthin to do with numbers, stretching your time and training resorces accros an entire military was bound to produce weaker fighters."
[01:19] <Kroked> "Just as many people apply to be hunters"
[01:19] <Kroked> "Most fail"
[01:20] <Christopher> "Eh, i got in easy enough. Cant be all that hard."

[01:22] <Kroked> "yet you weren't It's because they knew you had potential to be great. you were still raw and untrained... but you had /talent/"
[01:24] <Kroked> "And now look at you"
[01:24] <Kroked> "You can do things unimaginable to most people."
[01:24] * Christopher chuckles "Right, all the talent of a tazer, good times. Speaking of talent, where did you get all these mooks? You got them crawling around every city. Sure they arent the brightest, but theres tons of em."
[01:25] * The_Viceregent clears his throat
[01:25] <Kroked> "Likeminded individuals msotly, people I've helped after they were hurt or cast aside by nobles and goverments"
[01:25] <The_Viceregent> "Good question. How large /is/ your army?"
[01:26] <Kroked> "Large enough"
[01:26] <Christopher> "Roughly in the six figures new guy, now be quiet for a min will ya?"
[01:29] <Christopher> "Now then. Whats the plan old man? Surely your not gonna cause all hell to break lose and then just let it burn, theres always something more."
[01:31] <Kroked> "Now? It's simple. We rebuild. I will integrate magic back into our daily lives, bring back the magic that drive monsters away, soon the walls wont be needed anymore around towns. and with one goverment, there will be no more need for a standing army"
[01:31] <Kroked> "The world can be at peace"
[01:31] <Kroked> "Of course, nothing happens in a day"
[01:31] <Kroked> "It will take time... but this is for the ebst."
[01:31] <Kroked> "In the end, it will all turn out"
[01:32] <Christopher> "How bout a lifetime? Two lifetimes? Whos gonna keep your wonderful mission of peace alive after your gone? You have pissed off a lot of people all over the world, and like i said, this is gonna get worse long before it gets better."
[01:34] <Kroked> "I am not alone. and as time goes on, people will understand I came to bring peace, not breed war. the first years will be hard..."
[01:34] <Kroked> "But It is my hope, that you cna all come to understand... that I only did this in the hope of a better tomorrow."

[01:49] <The_Viceregent> "Mr. Wattson may I ask you something? If you will permit me, Mr. Reed."
[01:49] <Kroked> "Well, I'm at the very least, glad you didn't try to smite me where I stand."
[01:49] <Kroked> "Go ahead Albert."
[01:51] <The_Viceregent> "It's in regards to one of those friends of yours that you brought up, specifically Demetri. I was wondering if you knew his whereabouts right now."
[01:51] <The_Viceregent> "or if they've changed recently."
[01:53] * Christopher keeps his focus on nate "Now then old man, heres the deal. You tell me what i want to know, and i promiss to make as little of a masscare of your men as possible."
[01:53] <Kroked> "I'll tell you what I can. but I won't promise to tell you everything."
[01:53] <The_Viceregent> "Ah, I see how it is."
[01:54] <Kroked> "I would request you answer Albert first though."
[01:54] <Kroked> "Not that I expect an answer."

[01:56] <Kroked> "...what do you mean exactly?"
[01:57] <Christopher> "Dont play dumb old man, you know exactly what i mean. I want a way to turn YOUR daughter, MY wife, back to normal."
