Personification Life - IC Part IV

[The BranRiech]

"Is someone else here?" Lilly asked. "Yes, Bran. He's a friend. He's also engaged! Can you believe it?" The User said, nudging the lucky man with her elbow playfully. Lilly giggled. "Well congrats." She said in her usual polite manner.

"Thanks User." He said, giving her a high five. He nodded at the new girl. "Ms?"

[Swith Witherward]

Naomi made hot tea for Mai, Earl Grey. She set the sugar bowl on the table in case it was too bitter for her.

"I'm sure you have a lot of interesting stories to share," she said to Mai. "Being part of Thriller for so long, you're bound to know a few good tales."

[Monfrox]

"Is someone else here?" Lilly asked. "Yes, Bran. He's a friend. He's also engaged! Can you believe it?" The User said, nudging the lucky man with her elbow playfully. Lilly giggled. "Well congrats." She said in her usual polite manner.

"Thanks User." He said, giving her a high five. He nodded at the new girl. "Ms?"

"Lilly." The girl replied, not facing towards Bran anymore than she had been when he arrived.

[Germanic Templars]

"To be honest, I personally think he does it as a little game of revenge."

"He needs to get a handle on his issues," Swith said.

"That he does." *he took a gulp of his drink* "If I could, I would seriously kick his ass to bring down his holier-than-thou art ass."

__

"To know a few is an understatement, I know all of his stories in that suit."

[The BranRiech]

"Lilly." The girl replied, not facing towards Bran anymore than she had been when he arrived.

Bran nodded and hefted the books into his arms. "NVE?" He asked, pausing as if to let him answer. "She's six."

[Swith Witherward]

"That he does." *he took a gulp of his drink* "If I could, I would seriously kick his ass to bring down his holier-than-thou art ass."

__

"To know a few is an understatement, I know all of his stories in that suit."

"It's not worth it," Swith said. "Let's face it, we have the better deal anyway. If we do a nice act, no one says 'boo'. If we behave badly, people nod and attribute it to our natures. But if Lucius does a wrong deed? Well, the fingers of shame come out and humiliate him. Angels... sucks to be them."

--

"Where is Thriller, anyway?" Naomi asked.

[The New Velociraptor Empire]

Monique looked over the notes. "This is too technical for me to ever understand," she said. "If anyone can make it work, it's you. I would just... well, screw it up."

"It's not for everyone. Like how social skills are not my thing." Fortu said with a laugh. "So you are going to distract the guards? Should be easy, even I can't keep my eys off you." Fortu said in attempt to flirt.

[Germanic Templars]

"That he does." *he took a gulp of his drink* "If I could, I would seriously kick his ass to bring down his holier-than-thou art ass."

"Where is Thriller, anyway?" Naomi asked.

"I guess you're right.. One reason I followed Satan, though now that I remembered, he promised a lot. The only thing we got in return was having our names erased and being assigned our own ring, and all we did was praise him and tempt humanity. Total bullshit of a deal in the end."

__

"Last I heard from him was that he was working on a device."

[The New Velociraptor Empire]

"Lilly." The girl replied, not facing towards Bran anymore than she had been when he arrived.

Bran nodded and hefted the books into his arms. "NVE?" He asked, pausing as if to let him answer. "She's six."

"And? I went to college when I was three." NVE replied.

[Cerillium]

"Does he invent many things?" Ceril asked Mai.

[Monfrox]

Bran nodded and hefted the books into his arms. "NVE?" He asked, pausing as if to let him answer. "She's six."

"And? I went to college when I was three." NVE replied.

"Oh my..." Lilly said, giggling a bit. The User sighed. "Yes, this is normal here."

[Germanic Templars]

"Does he invent many things?" Ceril asked Mai.

"A lot, surprised he hasn't gone insane from all that he knows. Still must be the combat that he does that relieves him from the stress. But yes, he does invent many things."

[Swith Witherward]

"It's not for everyone. Like how social skills are not my thing." Fortu said with a laugh. "So you are going to distract the guards? Should be easy, even I can't keep my eys off you." Fortu said in attempt to flirt.

Monique blushed vibrant red. "You've never really seen me in action," she said a bit bashfully, and then fluffed her auburn hair and offered him a sultry pout.

--

"Oh gawd, not another one," Naomi sighed. "Last time, he changed the course of history, and it still bit him on the arse when he died."

--

"You could always transfer over here," Swith said, chewing an ice cube. "I offer a 401(k) and dental. Plus, the job's easy."

[The BranRiech]

"And? I went to college when I was three." NVE replied.

"She's not you." Bran shot back. "I could have her try it, although frankly, even I don't know this stuff."

[Cerillium]

Ceril reflected on the brief amount of time he spent with the man.

"He's..... interesting."

[The New Velociraptor Empire]

"And? I went to college when I was three." NVE replied.

"She's not you." Bran shot back. "I could have her try it, although frankly, even I don't know this stuff."

"He forgets that humans develop a lot slower than us. We can teach her like we agreed." Gretta said.

[Germanic Templars]

"Oh gawd, not another one," Naomi sighed. "Last time, he changed the course of history, and it still bit him on the arse when he died."

--

"You could always transfer over here," Swith said, chewing an ice cube. "I offer a 401(k) and dental. Plus, the job's easy."

"Yes, I remember that one.. I kinda observe the apartment through the cameras when not in the suit, if there was anything he forgot to do, it was to put me on a closed circuit."

__

"Hmm.. Tempting, let me get a few things straight; First off dental is not an issue with me, as you can see my teeth are also my flesh. Second, i'll pass on the 401k didn't have one before, don't need one now. Third, what is the job?"

[Germanic Templars]

Ceril reflected on the brief amount of time he spent with the man.

"He's..... interesting."

"That and a bit irrational in certain events, mostly in combat, then again, it's always in combat. I never understood him with that."

[The BranRiech]

"He forgets that humans develop a lot slower than us. We can teach her like we agreed." Gretta said.

"Well alright I guess, when could I send her for lessons?" He asked, pulling out a planner written entirely in the Branriech language.

[The New Velociraptor Empire]

"It's not for everyone. Like how social skills are not my thing." Fortu said with a laugh. "So you are going to distract the guards? Should be easy, even I can't keep my eys off you." Fortu said in attempt to flirt.

Monique blushed vibrant red. "You've never really seen me in action," she said a bit bashfully, and then fluffed her auburn hair and offered him a sultry pout.

"So first time we met. Was that in action or just casual?" he asked with a smile.

"He forgets that humans develop a lot slower than us. We can teach her like we agreed." Gretta said.

"Well alright I guess, when could I send her for lessons?" He asked, pulling out a planner written entirely in the Branriech language.

"Tommorow if you like." NVE said. "Whenever is best for you." Gretta said.

[Cerillium]

"Human nature," Ceril answered, "makes men do stupid things."

[Swith Witherward]

"Yes, I remember that one.. I kinda observe the apartment through the cameras when not in the suit, if there was anything he forgot to do, it was to put me on a closed circuit."

"Hmm.. Tempting, let me get a few things straight; First off dental is not an issue with me, as you can see my teeth are also my flesh. Second, i'll pass on the 401k didn't have one before, don't need one now. Third, what is the job?"

Naomi laughed. "He overlooks the important stuff, which is pretty good for the rest of us."

--

Swith smiled. "My greater daemons are a force to be reckoned with. Of course, it's all about ecstasy and pain, but if someone can't handle that, they really should stay the hell outta our way. I'd offer you a bit of perfection in return. Of course, you're missing a set of arms, but I suppose we could overlook that. You would need to have mastery of manipulation and temptation. Find our enemy's heart's desire and promise it to him. Once he's ours, we turn him back on our enemies. The purer the heart, the more easy to deride. Add lust, a bit of corruption, a sprinkle of pride... and you have the makings of the perfect weapon. Your job would be to find those suitable to being turned into that perfect weapon."

"Isn't that right, Ceril?" she added with a laugh. "But," she turned back to Superbia, "there are those you leave alone. Thriller, Bran and his family, for example. I protect those for a reason. They have a purity that this universe sadly lacks, and they balance out chaos."

--

"A bit of both," Monique said. "Your profile said you might be drawn to a bit of 1940's grit. I happen to like the genre."

[The BranRiech]

"Tommorow if you like." NVE said. "Whenever is best for you." Gretta said.

"I could send her tomorrow." He said. "On one condition . . . That I get to tag along for the first few days." he went on, writing stuff down in his planner.

[Monfrox]

"Tommorow if you like." NVE said. "Whenever is best for you." Gretta said.

"I could send her tomorrow." He said. "On one condition . . . That I get to tag along for the first few days." he went on, writing stuff down in his planner.

"I still have that mission to do, Bran. Although the ramifications have changed a bit since I last asked." The User chimed in.

[Cerillium]

Ceril sneered at Swith.

"Human nature makes men do stupid things."

He finished his beer and set the bottle on the table. "I was a tech priest before that offered my heart's desire," he gestured to Swith, "and I regretted it for a long time. Not so much now. The cloud suddenly has a silver lining."
