Void Rift (rp) - Intermission

It seems to be plain mixed berry yogurt. Not particularly flavorful, but it's something.

Akli'il laughs.
"Oh, please. Whose territory did you have to cross to get from Aral'hrah to the damned stone wall?"

 

"Mantis."
I say honestly.

 

"And ours. I don't know who fed you the crap that the raptors next to the humans are farther from them than Aral'hrah."

 

"I casually walked from Aral'hrah territory to the castle without interruption. Apologies on the location misunderstanding, but the offer still stands."

 

"Okay, you need to make the offer clear this time. Don't just give me the point; now I need details."

 

"It's fairly simple. Allow us to work with you, and we'll work with you. It's not that complicated, but it needs establishing."

 

Akli'il hesitates.
"Look, this sounds good... too good. Let me put it this way; I'll give you three of mine and you'll give me results. If I like those results, then I owe you some cooperation. Otherwise, you owe me big time."
Pause.
"Now that there's an offer on the table, let's... 'negotiate,' shall we?"

 

I shrug.
"However you want to do it, unless it involves the harming of raptors or mantises."

 

"You need more details? Fine. Three of my underlings are yours. If they come back and tell me good things after you're done with your op, you and your other buddies have my reluctant cooperation. If they come back and tell me terrible things, or don't come back at all, then you get off and stay the hell off my territory."

 

I dunk my bagel in the coffee and then eat it to see what it tastes like.

 

Katie shudders, then nods.

 

"Okay. When do you want them back?"

 

Is this thing still alive? Damn, how long till apps are opened again?

 

Both questions depend on our lord and savior Exvhius.

 

Apps are open if the title does not say (Closed)

Just PM me stuffs.

"Maximum two weeks."

"You know, Ali was hoping you'd come back. Said she wanted to make sure you weren't being mind controlled, since that... incident... was nothing like you."

Nothing special; tastes like a somewhat soggy bagel with some coffee flavor. Not much; the coffee doesn't taste very strong.

 

"She was? I-I guess I could go see her, then," Katie says nervously, "Are you sure they won't try to arrest me or something?"

 

"The Anubi lifted your ten days in jail sentence because you got tortured. The only ones that might still be angry at you is the parents and siblings of the Anubi you killed."

 

"I don't know why I killed him...I just got...really, really angry at him." Katie says sadly.

 

"Look, I'm not saying that what you did is right, or that it's justified. I'm just saying that the Anubi are a people of moving on. If you seek amends for what you've done, then they'll pardon almost anything. They've even pardoned all shadows on behalf of Aj and Shadow Stephanie, even though the Anubi are pacifist and despise killing."

 

"I guess I'll go see them then..." Katie says.

Katie hugs Emerald tightly for a moment, before skating off on a quickly-melting trail of ice, headed toward the portal room.
