- [2013-11-03 23:07:41] <Falconis> The noonday sun makes wearing a suit a cruel form of torture as you draw close to the imperial palace
- [2013-11-03 23:07:51] <Falconis> especially after that trip through the lava moats
- [2013-11-03 23:07:59] <Falconis> ...over
- [2013-11-03 23:10:04] <Falconis> Great General Lei adjusts his Coat on his shoulders "Well, I'd say it was an educational trip, don't you think?"
- [2013-11-03 23:11:40] =-= Falconis has changed the topic to ``Sadly, not Badmintiming ''
- [2013-11-03 23:12:12] <Jay> "Yeah," Jay replies. "Although, we kind of left suddenly. Need to talk to the rest of the...aides about it all."
- [2013-11-03 23:12:52] <Jay> Jay resettles his hat to shade his face, and yawns lightly. "I hope you do me the honour of considering my words, General Lei," he continues.
- [2013-11-03 23:13:33] <Falconis> The general nods
- [2013-11-03 23:13:52] <Falconis> "I will meditate upon them...Zubatman"
- [2013-11-03 23:14:45] <Falconis> As if on cue, a dozen men riding Zebstrika of all sizes blitz out from a copse of trees near the palace
- [2013-11-03 23:15:01] <Falconis> "Great General Lei, are you ok?"
- [2013-11-03 23:15:15] <Falconis> "Has the assassin harmed you"
- [2013-11-03 23:15:36] <Falconis> "Have you used the eight point shocking prison on him"
- [2013-11-03 23:15:47] <Falconis> "Is he riding me Zebstrika"
- [2013-11-03 23:15:50] <Falconis> my*
- [2013-11-03 23:15:57] <Falconis> Lei frowns as they approach
- [2013-11-03 23:15:58] <Falconis> >_
- [2013-11-03 23:16:48] <Jay> Jay slides the knife back into his belt, his hand reflexively pulling the weapon in his surprise. "Assassin?" he asks. "We haven't seen anybody."
- [2013-11-03 23:16:51] <Jay> "Why, what happened?"
- [2013-11-03 23:18:33] <Falconis> The men form up around you both and shout in outrage, several foaming at the mouth with great globs of spittle flying about
- [2013-11-03 23:19:12] <Falconis> "Ooooooh, don't try and pull the Mareep Wool over our eyes assassin, one of your group attacked the empress last night"
- [2013-11-03 23:19:26] <Falconis> "Her sword was dug three inches from her head!"
- [2013-11-03 23:19:34] <Falconis> "I'll kill you you bastard"
- [2013-11-03 23:19:36] -->| Abram (TheBMW@sux-BF86F2A5.hrbgpa.east.verizon.net) has joined #badtiming
- [2013-11-03 23:19:40] <Falconis> "You think you're tough huh"
- [2013-11-03 23:19:43] <Falconis> "You wanna go"
- [2013-11-03 23:19:47] <Falconis> "Nice suit though"
- [2013-11-03 23:19:54] <Falconis> Lei frowns
- [2013-11-03 23:20:13] <Falconis> [Lei]"Hey, settle down now"
- [2013-11-03 23:20:32] <Falconis> As if by magic, all the men quiet down, but their glares are loud enough"
- [2013-11-03 23:20:35] <Falconis> -"
- [2013-11-03 23:20:53] <Falconis> He peers at you with one visible eye under his hat "Is this true?"
- [2013-11-03 23:21:02] <Falconis> That eye is...unnerving
- [2013-11-03 23:21:16] <Jay> Jay frowns, and stops to think about his team critically.
- [2013-11-03 23:21:50] <Jay> "...no. Even if they left me out of it, it's not their style."
- [2013-11-03 23:23:01] <Jay> "There were three generals, and a few dozen men from companies at that banquet," he continues.
- [2013-11-03 23:23:36] <Jay> "We got here the morning of, and went straight to dinner after reaching the court."
- [2013-11-03 23:23:36] <Falconis> "Four"
- [2013-11-03 23:24:27] <Jay> Jay pauses, and looks at Lei. "Apologies, I wasn't counting us since we left midway."
- [2013-11-03 23:25:19] <Jay> He shakes his head after, "No, even if we were assassins - and we're not - we'd have planned it better."
- [2013-11-03 23:26:12] <Jay> Jay frowns. "Bloody 'food poisoner', I'm sure," he mutters to himself.
- [2013-11-03 23:26:47] <Falconis> Lei watches you unblinkingly as you speak
- [2013-11-03 23:26:52] <Falconis> and nods when you finish
- [2013-11-03 23:27:18] <Falconis> "I remember that, yes. I will have to take a deeper look at Diplomat Yuu's fate"
- [2013-11-03 23:27:45] <Falconis> He turns to his men "He's clean"
- [2013-11-03 23:28:05] <Falconis> And as if by magic once again, they all perfectly accept it and then draw closer without hostility
- [2013-11-03 23:28:12] <Falconis> "Aw shit, sorry man"
- [2013-11-03 23:28:21] <Falconis> "Yea totally thought you were a bad guy"
- [2013-11-03 23:28:29] <Falconis> "Are you kidding with that suit?"
- [2013-11-03 23:28:45] <Falconis> "I knew he was a gentleman as soon as I laid eyes on him"
- [2013-11-03 23:29:00] <Falconis> "Kind of rumpled though"
- [2013-11-03 23:31:43] <Falconis> [Lei]"Chu, scout the area, men fill me in"
- [2013-11-03 23:31:54] <Falconis> The Emolga adjusts his tie, salutes and takes off
- [2013-11-03 23:32:08] <Falconis> while the men fill Jay and Lei in on the nights happenings
- [2013-11-03 23:35:26] <Jay> Jay clenches his teeth, wishing he had one of Abram's cigarettes, and mentally chews the information. "Well."
- [2013-11-03 23:36:05] <Jay> He holds back a few expletives. "...well."
- [2013-11-03 23:37:19] <Jay> "General Lei, what would happen if the Empress were to die without an heir?"
- [2013-11-03 23:37:51] <Falconis> he scratches his beard
- [2013-11-03 23:39:06] <Falconis> [Lei]"Assuming she has not named a successor, then the council would control the land until a suitable ruler could be found among the branch families"
- [2013-11-03 23:41:35] <Jay> "A council, I see," he says. "Then, do you know anybody with a grudge against the Empress? Or the dynasty?"
- [2013-11-03 23:44:21] <Falconis> Lei strokes his beard some more "We have many enemies, the mongols, various neighbours, powerful businessmen, some company in America about big numbers or something"
- [2013-11-03 23:44:32] <Falconis> "It comes with being an aincent nation"
- [2013-11-03 23:50:50] <Jay> "I imagine it would," he says. Jay scratches his head. "The Diplomat's help would be nice," he murmurs to himself.
- [2013-11-03 23:54:04] <Falconis> "Your diplomat Yu? Indeed I would enjoy speaking with him in more detail"
- [2013-11-03 23:54:11] <Falconis> "Do you have any idea where he would be?"
- [2013-11-03 23:55:39] <Jay> "Not remotely," Jay replies, "I've been wondering where they'd have gone to ground."
- [2013-11-03 23:59:20] <Falconis> "Hmm, well then, let us return to my temple, and sort this out. I'll have my men track down your boys"
- [2013-11-04 00:02:55] <Jay> "It may be best if I search with them," he says, "If they've cut and run, they may not be very trusting. But the matter at hand first."
- [2013-11-04 00:04:03] <Jay> "I suppose we talk to the Empress' guards from that night, and whoever found her first."
- [2013-11-04 00:07:25] <Falconis> Lei nods "So you go after your friends then? Or will you remain and question"
- [2013-11-04 00:10:12] <Jay> Jay looks down, and brushes Dame from inside his jacket. "I'll...stay," he says, "I'll give your men something to try and put the others at ease."
- [2013-11-04 00:33:24] <Falconis> "Which is?"
- [2013-11-04 00:36:10] <Jay> "Tell them..." he pauses to think.
- [2013-11-04 00:36:28] <Falconis> (to look to the east in three days?)
- [2013-11-04 00:36:37] <Jay> "Tell them I said 'Steelducks Still Swim.'"
- [2013-11-04 00:37:09] <Falconis> Lei raises an eyebrow, clearly interested in the story behind that
- [2013-11-04 00:37:19] <Falconis> but he nods and sends off a group of men
