Void Rift (rp) - Intermission

"Hey..." Eve says, sounding nervous.

"So, Emerald, I understand you've reported a 'situation' with Eve?" I ask, sitting on my throne in my much larger form.

 

"Yeah. Eve, did you tell him what we discussed in Xlentia's chambers?" Emerald asks.

 

"Y-Yes, I told him about Xlentia's mental state, and how it's been deteriorating due to Stephanie and Katie." Eve says nervously.

 

"Why are you so nervous? We're on track to block off their attempts at mind control and everything. I just wanted to make sure that the need to explain the armor to her is of utmost importance - and that it'd have to come from Aj personally."

 

"W-Well, you said there was a situation with me. I though t-that meant I'd done something wrong." Eve says, still nervous.

"So Xlentia just needs the armour explained?" I ask, having listened.

 

"Of course not! I wouldn't back end an ally that hard!" Emerald says, shocked.

She turns to you.
"Yes. By you personally, and you need to be careful. You need to act submissive and convince her she needs the armor. Or - she'll come here and use the city as a scratching post in an attempt to get it off." Emerald warns.

 

"Submissive?" I ask, almost sounding like I'm holding back laughter.

 

Emerald starts laughing.
"Again, you get to pretend to be her slave explaining why it's necessary, then you get to go back to normal. That's the only way to get your point across to an angered Xlentia."

 

"Oh... Well, everyone doesn't like something."

I turn, take a step forward, and swing horizontally. It's seems like a fairly hard swing, however.

 

"True."

 

I sigh, "I'll try my best." I say.

Abigail jumps backwards, out of the way, using her rocket boots to boost herself backwards a bit.

 

"Do you like fights?"
Crystal asks, curious.

________________________________

I continue perusing, leaping forward and performing a light dowards-strike.

 

Abigail blocks the strike with her claws, before sliding around your sword and slicing upwards across your body and face. You don't feel much pressure from the claws, however, taking little to no damage.

 

"Keep in mind she's going to be furious. You need to at least beg enough for her to listen to and focus on you while those who put the armor on evac. I'll have you shielded, so your main goal is to keep her from going after your palace."

"No, I don't."

 

"I thought I was going to tell her beforehand? Telling her as I put the armour on seems a little stupid." I ask.

 

"You can tell her beforehand, but she's currently pretty mindless. She won't be herself until you get it on... which is sort of the issue."

 

I sigh again, "I'll work with it, then." I say.

 

"I'll route a mental gauge of how well or poorly the conversation is going to you. It'll be a holographic bar only you can see; full means you've essentially finished, and empty means you're essentially finished." Emerald says. "That way, you can figure out on the fly what to keep doing and what to avoid."

 

"I'll try to act as enslaved and begging as possible." I say.

 

"That's how you want to lead to get her to listen. The other bar will show you how tightly you have her attention. Full means her every thought is on you; empty means she's ignoring you entirely. Keep tabs on them, and try to adjust accordingly. None of us want her recklessness to split us apart right now." Emerald says, serious.
