	[This one comes with a very familiar and ... since the last time you saw him, FAR more collected voice.] Do you have the technology yet for hot toddies? It is a hallmark of any good civilization. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Bit of a mixed drink. You could really manage it with warm berry juice and potato liquor. Surprisingly delicious if a bit tinny in aftertaste. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ah, I see... Well if I could have the recipe I don't see why a variation couldn't be managed by the next time you visit. How are you feeling? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	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)

	Re: [After all are settled in...] messagingly 2011-09-08 02:52 am UTC (link)
	There too? He has been busy... Perhaps it IS time for a little heart to heart. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [After all are settled in...] vaticanpieninja 2011-09-08 03:37 am UTC (link)
	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.

	If an ally would or could take them... though one is already under Shadow's patronage... [pausing then.. and then just nods] I'll fetch him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [After all are settled in...] messagingly 2011-09-09 04:12 am UTC (link)
	... Interesting choice. Thank you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[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)

	Re: [After all are settled in...] messagingly 2011-09-10 11:37 am UTC (link)
	[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)

	Re: [After all are settled in...] hey__listen 2011-09-10 11:39 am UTC (link)
	Of course. Wouldn't that be the point? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [After all are settled in...] messagingly 2011-09-10 11:46 am UTC (link)
	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)

	Re: [After all are settled in...] hey__listen 2011-09-10 11:47 am UTC (link)
	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.
