Personification Life - IC Part V

[Swith Witherward]

"That's it.. Say Big O, do ya see anything?

"No, don't you see? Your demons won't stand a chance against them, especially with that spear they got. And sorry, no offence, but i'm going to as My Lord for possible temporary power and that itself will take a while to do." *He replied.* "Listen, I know you want them stopped, but this is not easy to do, this will take time before it is ever ready."

Swith stopped pushing and drew short, panting breaths. She leaned back and stared up at the ceiling, wishing the pain would stop.

--

"Alright," Blythe said. "I'll... wait, then. But where is Superbia? When will he be back? Is he injured? Is he suffering?"

[Tiltjuice]

Katya's heart pounded in her chest. She leaned in as well.

...

Torii hopped up and walked around the room, bored.

Dora brushed aside Katya's hair and kissed her again, enjoying the softness of her lips. After a while, she pulled back. "How was that?"

Chrys looked up. "Enough TV for today?"

"I season when I share a meal with someone, otherwise I eat it plain." NVE said.

Dia nodded. "Fair enough. What does raptor culture say about food?"

[Bone Fort]

"You want the military gone from your city, it will be gone from your city. You want me to comply with the lawsuits, I'm complying with the lawsuits." Kei glared from the door. "If I don't get the military out in one years time or less, depending on how generous I feel, than you may do whatever you wish to me or my nation." She promised with a cold-smile.

"We will have to ask our military minds how long a base should reasonably take to deactivate and ship out, and we will give you that time. Be assured that it will be considerably less then a year. And regardless of how long we give you, your soldiers are to stay on the base, unless they are returning to the Branreich. If they wish to visit our town, they will have to pass through special checkpoints we will set up and run, as part of a perimeter we will have around your base, and through which they will also have to return. They will not be allowed to bring military weapons with them, or anything illegal, such as drugs or child pornography. Any troops we catch breaking any of our laws we will arrest and they will spend time in our prisons and be tried in our courts, though we will allow for negotiations for their release. Those are our terms."

"Keep it up, you're almost there."

---

"All I say and hope for that he is not."

[Torsiedelle-Sturmovosk]

Katya's heart pounded in her chest. She leaned in as well.

...

Torii hopped up and walked around the room, bored.

Dora brushed aside Katya's hair and kissed her again, enjoying the softness of her lips. After a while, she pulled back. "How was that?"

Chrys looked up. "Enough TV for today?"

"I season when I share a meal with someone, otherwise I eat it plain." NVE said.

Dia nodded. "Fair enough. What does raptor culture say about food?"

Katya sat back, her face blank. She was lost in her own mind.

"It.....it was.....it was....alright....I guess, I guess! I mean..."

...

"Yea, why don't we go do something else?"

[Swith Witherward]

"Of course, it's all worth it though. I've already had to give up swimming until he's delivered."

"Why?" Sutra asked. "Swimming is a very healthy activity."

[Cerillium]

Ogoti gestured for one of his minions to stand by with wrappings. "Alright, listen to him, Charu... push."

[Tiltjuice]

Katya sat back, her face blank. She was lost in her own mind.

"It.....it was.....it was....alright....I guess, I guess! I mean..."

...

"Yea, why don't we go do something else?"

"Sure thing! Lead the way!"

***

Dora nodded. "But you still need to work things out. Alright. Well, you're welcome to stay for a while, or go, if you prefer." She nodded politely to Katya.

[The New Velociraptor Empire]

"I season when I share a meal with someone, otherwise I eat it plain." NVE said.

Dia nodded. "Fair enough. What does raptor culture say about food?"

"Anyone is an acceptable meal as long as they are not Raptors or friends." NVE said quoting the Raptor Bible.

[Torsiedelle-Sturmovosk]

Katya sat back, her face blank. She was lost in her own mind.

"It.....it was.....it was....alright....I guess, I guess! I mean..."

...

"Yea, why don't we go do something else?"

Dora nodded. "But you still need to work things out. Alright. Well, you're welcome to stay for a while, or go, if you prefer." She nodded politely to Katya.

Katya laid her head on the table and ogled Dora for a while.

....

Torii led the way out of the room and into the hallway.

[Swith Witherward]

"Keep it up, you're almost there."

---

"All I say and hope for that he is not."

Swith lookd between Thriller and Ogoti. She listened to both and began to bear down in earnest.

--

Blythe hung her head, dejected. "There's nothing for me, then. I... should I take my goat and get out of your hair until he returns or you bring him back?"

[The BranRiech]

"I agree to your terms. May I take you on a tour of the base? I would like to show you why we need a year." Kei gestured to the car waiting outside. "One of our submarines." Kei produced a photograph. "Has exploded in a recent terrorist attack, we need to clear the debris and reclaim the remains of the deceased crew. They're still pulling bodies from the wreck in the dock, and the reactor is still on fire to this day." She sighed, obviously annoyed by this as much as the officials were. "That, is why we need one year."

"Why?" Sutra asked. "Swimming is a very healthy activity."

"Well . . ." Rylli explained her and her husbands situation. "We're both Mer, when in water of course, the anatomy shift in the transformation would be a bit . . . catastrophic for the child?" Bran chuckled as he brought over a platter of Ham sandwiches. "Eat up, all."

[The Drone Empire]

While the meeting transpired, a replicate having taken the form of a security officer sat silently while the two bickered. It listened and recorded issues, marking both individuals as those of high interest. Kei was now a target for Replication due to her high status level, as was the Official, or at very least moderate manipulation, of course. He awaited for the room to be clear, as then he would approach him with a proposal - "supposedly" from the city's chief department of public safety.

Swith lookd between Thriller and Ogoti. She listened to both and began to bear down in earnest.

Blythe hung her head, dejected. "There's nothing for me, then. I... should I take my goat and get out of your hair until he returns or you bring him back?"

"Nonsense, stay. This is your place as much as it is Superbia and mines."

[Bone Fort]

"That, is why we need one year."

"1. Why the FUCK were you keeping a nuclear submarine in our city? 2. You don't need an entire, fully functioning military base to do that. You can remove all the troops and tanks and stuff and leave behind only what is required to salvage this. 3. Something like that would still not take a year, unless you are using three people to do it."

[Cerillium]

"Keep it up, you're almost there."

Swith lookd between Thriller and Ogoti. She listened to both and began to bear down in earnest.

"Yes, that's it, push," Ogoti commanded. A moment later, he was handing a wailing bundle to the minion.

"Male," he told Thriller.

"And now the second," he said. "Just a little more effort, Charu. You can rest then."

[Germanic Templars]

It listened and recorded issues, marking both individuals as those of high interest.

He awaited for the room to be clear, as then he would approach him with a proposal - "supposedly" from the city's chief department of public safety.

* The door cracked open and Aleki popped his head in, obviously wearing his equipment. He glanced at the scene.* "Oh.."

[Swith Witherward]

"Nonsense, stay. This is your place as much as it is Superbia and mines."

Blythe wrapped her arms around him. "Thank you, Lucius. I'm lost without him. He's my heart."

"Yes, that's it, push," Ogoti commanded. A moment later, he was handing a wailing bundle to the minion.

"Male," he told Thriller.

"And now the second," he said. "Just a little more effort, Charu. You can rest then."

Swith leaned back and searched the room frantically for the source of the cry, and then the contraction hit. "His name is Siduer," she said, and then she bore down.

* The door cracked open and Aleki popped his head in, obviously wearing his equipment. He glanced at the scene.* "Oh.."

The Replicate Guard looked at Aleki.

"Do you have authorization to be here right now?" He said to him sternly.

[The BranRiech]

"1. Why the FUCK were you keeping a nuclear submarine in our city? 2. You don't need an entire, fully functioning military base to do that. You can remove all the troops and tanks and stuff and leave behind only what is required to salvage this. 3. Something like that would still not take a year, unless you are using three people to do it."

OOC: Not helping the whole stress thing, but alright.

"Because it was on a standard delivery run for fuel and ammunition. It was due to leave within a day, and then be gone." Kei explained. "And I stated that I would like to keep this civil, please, watch your tongue." She grinned. "The submarine is as large as an American Nimitz class, it is an aircraft carrier. This would not take as long if this was a simple Typhoon boat, but when you have a submarine as large as the one docked here, time and resources are required to lift the wreck and clean the area."

[Germanic Templars]

Swith lookd between Thriller and Ogoti. She listened to both and began to bear down in earnest.

"Yes, that's it, push," Ogoti commanded. A moment later, he was handing a wailing bundle to the minion.

"Male," he told Thriller.

"And now the second," he said. "Just a little more effort, Charu. You can rest then."

"That I already knew." *He replied, still holding her hand and a cold rag to her forehead.*

---

"You're welcome." *he replied, returning a hug.*

---

"Umm, sort of, just running paper work for Thriller on purchasing some old buildings including an abandoned factory on the outskirts of town." *he replied, showing a folder filled with paper work.*

[Cerillium]

Swith leaned back and searched the room frantically for the source of the cry, and then the contraction hit. "His name is Siduer," she said, and then she bore down.

"Yes, we know what you chose as a name. Now stop wasting energy."

He smiled as she worked. Soon a second wrapped and wailing bundle went to a minion.

They returned the first and set him in Swith's arms. "Your Siduer."

[The Drone Empire]

"Yes, that's it, push," Ogoti commanded. A moment later, he was handing a wailing bundle to the minion.

"Male," he told Thriller.

"And now the second," he said. "Just a little more effort, Charu. You can rest then."

---

"You're welcome." *he replied, returning a hug.*

---

"Umm, sort of, just running paper work for Thriller on purchasing some old buildings including an abandoned factory on the outskirts of town." *he replied, showing a folder filled with paper work.*

"Let me see that." He said in a firm tone, walking over for validation of these to 'briefly' skim over. Really, the Replicate would memorize the data and store it for possible acting upon later.

*As quickly as the papers were taken from him, he snatched them back.* "Sorry, for his eyes only. My orders, I obey."

[Bone Fort]

OOC: It's realistic. How would you like it if North Korea threw up a military base outside your hometown, and you found out one of their nuclear submarines had a reactor incident that probably released a bunch of radiation into the air?

IC:

The official picked up a phone, nodded, and thanked whoever was on the line.

"That was the aforementioned military minds. They say that realistically it should take a base a month or two to completely vacate. You have two months to move your troops. We'll allow a small amount of engineers and guards to stay and work on your submarine till it's finished, but that's it. Any longer then that... let's just not let that happen."
