Void Rift (rp) - Intermission

"So you'd rather see her fall to the Hive Master? We need to do something." Eve says.

 

"Of course not. I'm merely warning you; you need to explain to her what it does, why she needs it, and how she can get around the telepathy block. If you can't, then she's going to personally go into the Shadow Realm and try to force the palace engineers to get it off."

 

"I'll tell Aj to tell her nearer the time, then," Eve says, "Though...why is she sleeping so much?"

 

"She's fighting off the thought of you guys betraying her since you don't like her much. She's also fighting the remote mind control attempts, so she's off in her own little mental colloseum as we speak. Simply put, her subconsciousness is a bit too busy for her to be able to use her body much."

 

"Yeah, that's him, except he's not a myth, appearently. These unicorn-people crashed their ship here,"
I say, waving out my hand as to confirm that this is that ship.
"And Sivius helped them out. According to them, Sivius is all around the place and never in the same place twice, randomly going around."

 

"I believe only Katie and Stephanie dislike her," Eve says, "And I doubt any of us would betray her. With her amount of power, as well as being the key to recovering Ihra, it seems foolish."

"Sounds about right. I wonder what Sivius is like." Abigail ponders.

 

"They both hold a large sway with the group. Regardless... good luck. I'll try to keep her mind straight when you shove her armor on."

 

"Yeah. We could try to convince him to join us. He is a draconian, after all."
"He's probably really nice. He does help people, after all."
Crystal pipes up.

 

"They both have emotional holds over the group, however they don't hold as much power as say, Aj or Abigail." Eve says.

"I hope he doesn't see us as a threat then." Abigail says, smiling.

 

"I hope you're right." Emerald says.

"How long will construction take? She can't hold out for more than two weeks."

 

"About two weeks, actually. We have the strong metals and crystals, we just need to make the armour." Eve says.

 

"I'll send over our engineers if you can speed it up. She'll be insane in half the time, in which case my people will be hoping that her walls can contain her long enough to evacuate."

 

"Oh, yeah. That might be hard."
"He'll probably understand."
"Well, unless we get really lucky, we'll have been almost hunting this guy down. Not exactly what you want to hear as a guy that voluntarily walked away from a war."

 

"We'll need a two hundred percent more people if you want it done any sooner." Eve says.

"We are going to great lengths just to find this guy. I don't think I'd want to be best friends with someone who tracked me down from a myth." Abigail says.

 

"Two thousand and change, a hundred responsible for the original construction of the palace." Emerald says.

 

"Or an anti-myth."
I confirm.

 

"With that many people, it should be done in..." Eve calculates, "Two to five days."

"What if Sivius doesn't want to join us at all? Dude did walk away from a war, I don't think he's a big fan of fighting." Abigail says.

 

"Then they'll be sent over. The sooner, the fewer repercussions." Emerald says. "The workers will be sent as soon as possible. Please relay the decree to the Shadow Palace."

 

"Then this is all for nothing except for the extension of a story."
I say, blunt.
"...I'd like to imagine we can get him on our side, though."
Crystal says, optimistic.

 

"I shall." Eve says, blasting open a portal to the Shadow Realm and flying through.

"Then we'll have to see what happens." Abigail says, blunt, though clearly not serious about it.
