This log is just for threading out anything before or after characters actually take a mission: characters meeting and teaming up, receiving the details of their mission, turning in rewards, et cetera. This will not be a regular thing each month.

They are kind enough to be helpful to us that it seems wrong to not offer the same. [ What a handsome man. His voice is so sweet and holds so much hope for this world -- just like on the initial message. And here he thought there may be something quiet and sinister beneath it all. But not all things are like home. Not all things are like he is. ]

I used to be a lieutenant for the Knights of the Seal. [ Oh yes. ] It means I ran my own district and a small portion of the army. I mostly dealt with negotiations with those of less than reputable individuals. After all, regardless of how vicious a person is, everyone wants peace, right?

The one crowning achievement I can say is that I was able to convince the assassins of my world to work under the Knights.

[traitre]

[quiet and sinister, him? perish the thought!

he arches a brow at the title; by the end of yaha's reply, the other one's joined as well. looks certainly can be deceiving-- but he of all people should know that, shouldn't he?]

I suppose everyone does strive for peace-- in some fashion. But a warmonger's peace may be another's annihilation. [he pauses, tapping his chin with a long forefinger and taking a moment to get a second look at yaha. still a flower, but perhaps a little less frail than he initially judged.] If you can pull off a similarly diplomatic move here, though, we needn't get to that point.

So, negotiations, you say? Would you object to doing more of the same here?

[barebacking]

True enough. [ Yaha keeps the question of "but does that person really deserve to live?" to himself. It seems like that would end poorly.

'Course his negotiations were along the lines of murder, torture, and adoring the other person that was in charge. He lets out a small sigh as he realizes that he can't do the first two without getting into trouble -- someone will know and then the sweet smiles he gets from people will vanish.

Then what would his heart do? Break and cry, he assumes. ]

I would not at all object to doing the same here.

[traitre]

Excellent! [and he beams, demeanor becoming considerably warmer as it generally does when people are willing to do something for him. he doesn't bother consulting his papers for this one; even if it weren't for his flawless memory, the details would be rather hard to forget.]

The man I need you to speak with is no assassin, but I would no sooner trifle with him than I would a hired killer. [he drops his voice conspiratorially.] He is the former head of one of the gangs we've been dealing with. No particular loyalty to his old family, but plenty are still loyal to him.

You may imagine how we'd benefit from an alliance, but he's quite… Particular in who he allows to speak with him.

[barebacking]

Particular?

Would that possibly be that he only likes to speak to women? [ So troublesome if that were the case. He really hates that about some men -- why cling to such delicate creatures that could easily break? Why can't they love the broken pieces of someone more like themselves? ]

[traitre]

I-- er, what? [he gives yaha a curious look. what a strange conclusion he jumped to.] No, no... Nothing like that.

The man's a bit eccentric, is all. Perhaps a few too many blows to the head in gang wars like this one. [a sigh and a helpless little shrug.] Tell you the truth, he's more concerned with entertainment than he is terms of negotiation. As I understand it, the last time kedan representatives tried to meet with him, he had them flung out for being "too boring."

[not that qilby can blame the guy, he supposes. but unfortunately for him, he doesn't have luxury of throwing away everything in the world what bores him.]

[barebacking]

Oh, is that all?

[ His hands clap together as he immediately looks relieved. If there is one thing that he feels he is not, it is boring. That may be the madness and how the reality of his world shifts based on how he feels like viewing it, but details, details. ]

Then, I would be more than happy to deal with such a man. I am certain that we can find some common ground and all will be well.

[traitre]

[qilby wouldn't quite call it relief, what he's feeling right now, but at least the young man seems to be confident.]

He's not dangerous, I don't believe-- but he's unpredictable. [which may be even worse, his faintly concerned tone implies. the safety of the people who trust him is his number one priority, of course.] You will look after yourself, I hope?

[barebacking]

I shall do my very best to do that for you, Qilby. [ He takes a step back to bow at the waist. ] I would not wish to bring any shame to this organization to help others, after all.

[traitre]

I have no reason to doubt it.

The man is named Pa-Sek, of the Ur gang. He maintains residence here in the Metal Sector. [as he speaks, a blue light gathers in the palm of his one good hand. it takes only a few gentle, precise gestures in the air before him -- as if he's coaxing forth the picture rather than making it -- to form the familiar straight lines and blocks of streets in the metal sector. one particular spot close to the palace walls glows brighter than the others.

he could've got a normal map, sure-- but this is far more impressive-looking!] Best of luck, Yaha.

[barebacking]

You're a mage.

[ With how much he has spoken with others, he has found that so few people actually have the ability to command magic. It's really surprising to meet someone who can use it so masterfully. His hands clap together as he brings the hands close to his mouth, enamoured already. ]

I will do my best.
