I Am A Fish he/him Posted October 4, 2020 Report Share Posted October 4, 2020 A knock sounded on the door to Kade's quarters. Kade gingerly sat up, and walked to the door. Grunting as pain shot through his chest. He opened it, and a weaselly looking Quote Get it? He's a weasel Amal. I'm so funny aren't I? man stood in front of him. "What do you want?" Kade stared at the man. Wordlessly the man handed him a letter, and looked at him, questioning. Kade looked over it. "Sorry Daren, I'm not exactly in the best condition for this sort of thing." Kade sighed and began to close the door. Daren stopped him, smiling. "Certain friend of ours," he tapped his left shoulder, then his right hip, "convinced Concerto to alleviate your sentence, if you complete this assignment well. If we are going to continue with our plans, or even are going to postpone the proceedings, I'd advise accepting this duty." Daren turned and walked away. Kade hesitated, then sighed, turned into a leopard, then slunk after Daren. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Well, I've gotten a new theory. If you give people reputation for posting large chunks, they're more likely to post large chunks, right? So even if I occasionally forget(which I will), then they'll still continue to post large chunks. I like large chunks, it gives me more to read. I like posting large chunks, they're rather impressive and time-consuming. Yes, exposition is great! I can't wait to find out who it was that convinced Concerto... FADRAN! I'm spotting some that's in my field of view(she can't move her head, remember) so you'll be able to reach it. You weren't here, so I made the decision of where it is for you. Chorale caught sight of some red crystals growing behind a red flower and grinned. "Aerith, there's some just below your left arm." Concerto hadn't been thorough, and he was going to regret it. @Channelknight Fadran Edited October 4, 2020 by Condensation 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that there are few things that unite people, and while people make rash decisions when they're angry, they are united as they do so. No doubt there will be chaos and possibly death. Perhaps they will be able to channel it to reduce the damage. Regardless, there's not much we can do that would defuse the crowd's tension. Although in chaos, there arises opportunities. So tell me Krait, what is it that you want, what opportunities do you seek?" "If you do not know what I want, then you will not be given it freely.

Then, if the Amal continue to fight, then these people will have a reason to fight back. Some Amal attack the people, but they have a reason. Over centuries they have been trodden upon, and cast down and out of society. They feel like they can do nothing else. So.

I Am A Fish he/him Posted October 5, 2020 Report Share Posted October 5, 2020 Kade lay motionless. Indistinguishable from the white granite behind him. He had positioned guards at strategic intersections, and was preparing for a worst case scenario. The scenario, where Tiira lay forgotten, and he'd failed. Then he'd opt for plan B. But for now, he waited, patiently preparing to pounce. In multiple senses of the word. Concerto may not have realized it, but his second in command had an agenda. And Concerto was not necessary, for it to be completed. Kade cleared the thoughts from his mind. Rebellion is not what you want, and would be difficult to achieve right now. So Kade waited, laying motionless. Indistinguishable from the white granite behind him. Quote Had far too much fun writing this 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
