	A bit like grammar again, all in its proper order. It IS nice to hear myself talk... and in a way I don't feel compelled to apologize for. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Pecha of Uroboros has been searching for ways to be rid of Queen, apparently. He knows where here keystone is and is quite convinced the blanks know a way to destroy it if he got it to us. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He seems fairly determined to keep poking around, and I felt he would be less of a problem for us if he were secured and knew what pieces he is missing. Tack of the same subunit is also apparently aware of a good portion of what Pecha knows... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Those types do so rarely work without a safeguard. What I am interested in, before I make a polite chat with this young gentleman, is simply this: this Ophiuchus with no ties to any of you, do you believe in his honesty enough for that kind of risk? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [After all are settled in...] vaticanpieninja 2011-09-09 04:03 am UTC (link)
	Not so much his honesty as the fact that with as much as he knows, the most obvious choice for survival is with us, though he professes to love people the most... [shakes his head...] I don't believe the intent he is presenting is false. Though, perhaps your sister could keep an eye on him just in case. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

That IS a solution. A rather messy solution, but a solution none the less. Lets save the bitey eatey bits for now or at least keep it on standby.

If he is listening, right now he's hearing a perfectly pleasant conversation about wines, fermenting and recipes. I'll be sure to mark them down later.

There comes the complication of a lot of attention right now at a point, where, frankly, I can't afford it. That's three now. One I've taken under wing, so to speak, but .. these two are a touch more troubling by the form of their nature, as much as they are also an asset by the same token.

[There's a feeling in the room, separate from the little squidrat, of pacing.]

If you would be so kind, I would like a word or two with the young man myself.

	[and we'll say that this Uroboros was fetched and he seems more amused by the going-ons than anything else] Sorry for the ruckus, Messenger. I hope you'll come to forgive me for all the trouble. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[SRS SQUIDRAT INNA BOWL.] Oh lets start with forgiveness. It IS a good even thing to start out on. Honestly, you're making more potential trouble for yourself than you would for me, but I'm sure you know that as well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I wouldn't presume. Now, that said, you do have some people speaking highly on your intent, but lets hear what you have to say in general. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	My intent would be to be diminish Queen's growing power, or better yet, be rid of her completely. I'm not fond of her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [After all are settled in...] messagingly 2011-09-10 11:54 am UTC (link)
	And so you are seeking alliance with someone who you can put together is under threat by her. Mutually, I'm assuming. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Was under threat, and really that was more of a feint than anything else, going by her reaction after the failed mission on Ophiuchus's part. So if you weren't really her target, then there would have to be another element to her actions, therefore another goal. One that would not settle well for the blanks.

But better the possible enemy of the embodiment of everything I loathe than she herself.

A feint it may have been, but I do assure you, if it had succeeded I doubt she would have simply dropped the ball with a cheerful "just kidding."

I can't say exactly what her ultimate goals are, but I can make a fairly accurate guess, and no, it doesn't particularly bode well for anyone of the small and squishy side of things. Or honestly even? The large and generally less squishy either.

Self absorbsion does wonders for letting things continue as they do.

Now then, I have heard what you are offering to very nearly everyone who'd listen. DO you actually have a plan besides pass it on and hope for the best?

It's a suicidal plan, if anything, but it's the only one that can be thought of with so little help. None of the blanks seem particularly interesting in helping, in any case, and one had even suggested I get my hands dirty myself, which if you know my type of character, you probably understand how much that annoys me.

Still. I was thinking of telling the Guardian that I was to retrieve Queen's symbol on her order and deliver it where it needs to go to have done with. Something approaching that, anyway, since Queen seems to enjoy throwing poor Guardian off and communication between the Judges in that aspect does not seem to be all the best.

But that would be the roughest of ideas. I had been initially planning on something a little more long-term.

	That is to the point, why you are gathering a great deal of doubt in your wake, as much as some surprised interest: It is incredibly suicidal. At the very least, returning to Ophiuchus would be ill advised if not immediately fatal. If you HAVE no place to go, there is little I can do that would not end with you eaten by one force or another. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oya, oya, so quick to just leave someone who wants to help your precious blanks to the wolves. Risks, I can understand. It's not as though I lived a very safe life before coming here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Quick to leave, my darling snake, I would have simply taken these words from your ears and send you back upon your way. And with all consideration to your own safety it is something I should still do.

What I am asking, in that round about way to ask. If you were to do such a thing, where do you plan to go? Have any to take you in? You will have given up both your power and position, your lifestyle and the possibility of a wish through the normal route.

With the risks so laid out, are you still willing? Have you a plan?
