Mathew Amtrum said:
"What's this meeting about?" Mathew asked as he strode in, his stone Dragon perched on his shoulder. His right side missing it's stone arm.
David B. said:
David handed the letter off to a squire, who would run it to Kiyr."Well...I suppose we should wait until Kiyr Arrives, as she is officially our second in command...but its nothing I see you being against."
He leaned back....waiting.
Mr. Kaar said:
leon would walk in with his right arm wrapped up in a sling."Sounded important to me."
David B. said:
"Thats only because I promised you pizza."He slid the box of pizza over to leons seat!
Mr. Kaar said:
OM NOM FUCKIN NOM! Mathew Amtrum said:
"Man, I need to start getting bribes..." Mathew said eyeing leon's pizza with envy.
David B. said:
David flipped Mathew off, grinning and kicking back in his seat. Mathew Amtrum said:
Mr. Kaar said:
Since the pizza was now gone after only the last minute and a half he began making shapes with the box.
Kyrie Blaze said:
And arrive she would. The blonde looked curiously between the trio--taking a surprised note of the stone dragon and Mathew's lack of a stone arm...and leon's arm in a sling.--the lingering smell of pizza distracted her a moment and her stomach gave a hungry shift--
Her eyes fell upon David last...and she drew forward.
Mathew Amtrum said:
Mathew flipped David off as the Dragon stuck out it's stone tongue at him. Mathew's gaze however went to leon."Dude, make a sailor hat!"
David B. said:
David blinked at leon."Look behind you dude. I bought six."
And on the table behind him would be six boxes of pizza!
Davids eyes turned to Kiyr as she walked in.
"Good, we're all here. Kiyr, please bolt the door. No interruptions."
He would wait until she did so.
Mr. Kaar said:
leon would pay attention for now, folding his arms while wearing his sailor hat pizza box. Mathew Amtrum said:
"Want me to thicken the stone walls and shit while we are at it? Make sure there are no cracks or Qi signatures?" If we were going to go full security mode for the meeting. Rather than an open door policy.
Kyrie Blaze said:
Doing an abrupt about-face, Kyrie paced back those few steps to the door, drew the bolts into place, and then move back towards the Elder trio, wondering what this meeting was for. Mr. Kaar said:
leon would activate the Seikatsugan just to be safe since things seemed to be prioritizing security just to make sure nothing could possibly be around them. Mathew Amtrum said:
He nodded to his little Dragon he flew off his shoulder and scratched at the wall. The stone shifting noticeably as every small crack and imperfection in the stone room shifted and became perfectly smooth. The Dragon sat on the ground and gave Mathew a smile that said it was quite pleased with itself. "We're good." Mathew would say.
Kyrie Blaze said:
For good measure, Kyrie's qi leaked along the floor so she could peek into shadow - no, quite literally her head disappeared into the dark after she slipped to her knees - and make sure nobody was there, considering so many other extra precautions were taken.Standing, she dusted her pants off and made her way to sit. And to listen.
David B. said:
David stood slowly once they were done, and all security was in place."As you three know, Kazuya abandoned us. Now, I know none of you were particularly close to him, but the Kaz I knew would not just defect as he did. Something...must have come up. I haven't had the time to find out what...all I know is, with a regiment filled with Guards that had specific orders to watch this room and let none but an Elder in at night, he got inside and left me his shit. This is a problem. Over the past several weeks and months, we've had issues with assassins, knowledge leaks...you name it."
He took a deep breath.
"Yesterday, my Voice was taken from god territory, right under the very noses of the people we merged with. I don't blame them- I blame us. I should be out looking for her- but she would never forgive me if I abandoned my duty to this territory, and to my people. To Maddie."
He put his hands behind his back.
"Kiyr, as our General has betrayed us and my Voice is captured, you are to fill that hole. Until my orders change, or she is found and returned, you are my acting Voice. As such, we are to assume that we have hostiles in the territory, and we are also to assume that Kazuya cannot be trusted until we know otherwise. Due to these instances of our people being targeted, I called you all here to have a unified lockdown order. The borders of Dragon territory sealed tight. No one in, or out, without our seal. This includes those we consider friends- the Crows, the Gods...even neutral parties. Regular patrols in fifty groups of five throughout our territory, each of them with a God or a Dragon officer at the head."
He was serious- this was business, and lives were at stake.
"No more fucking around. Until we know where everyone stands, and until we clear our shit up, this place needs to be sealed."
Mathew Amtrum said:
"Well shit, I'll rubber stamp that. We doing a full on inquisition to try and find the leaks or how do we want to find the source of the problems? Because if we got a mole then we need to either sever it's head with a shovel. Or start feeding it false information." Mr. Kaar said:
"Well the fun way is to kill everyone and start over, but no one ever wants to do the fun way. So I'll stamp on the lock down, of which should help us find the information that is being leaked, but not so much the informant." Kyrie Blaze said:
The weight piled onto her shoulders--as she knew it would. She'd known of Olesya's capture, of course...among other things, like the letter she had been given. She stared and blinked her wide eyes at David for his words...Shell-shocked once more, but, able to set it aside due to the situation at hand.
Her eyes darted to Mathew as she grasped her composure once again, taking in his thoughts before her gaze turned to leon. David's words she turned over; she didn't know Kazuya, but could take the Storm Dragon's words for face value...to an extent. Kazuya had not participated in the battle against Barker. She'd only worked with him briefly within the Sky Force when she first had her Ghost Leader rank. It certainly wasn't enough for her to get a bead on who he was.
"Lockdown is our best bet, for the moment. Are we all keeping our ears to the ground or are we taking a more active role?"
Or perhaps he had in mind just one. She wasn't sure.
David B. said:
Mathew first."I have an idea on how to get started."
Eyes turned to leon.
"You hit the button on the nose. I have an informant. Her name is Anna, and she's been rotting in our prison for the months since we discovered she was a traitor. I have also discovered that, since before we found her out, she was plotting to turn on those she was working for, swear loyalty and tell us everything. I'll take that offer."
Now his eyes turned to Kiyr.
"Once Anna gives us some names...we're gonna start capturing them. They will give us more names...some will undoubtedly resist, and those we will of course kill. But we're going to irradicate them all. Even when we do, though...outside forces can't be counted on. Strike, Kazuya, the Expirements to the north...we just don't know enough to be secure, so our Borders will also be closed for that reason...and that is the reason we will tell our people. Not that there are spies or killers...but that its for their protection."
Mathew Amtrum said:
"Well if Kazuya defected. And then this shit starts going on doesn't that tell you something? Maybe he had a hand in it and bailed before shit hit the fan?"Mathew shrugged. His opinion of the man had plummited with how close he came to the test and failed. To be within the bank and unable to hand the items in. A lack of conviction. Making excuses and slipping away without talking to them first like men. Abandoning all of his duties. The man was a coward and a slimeball. He wouldn't put this above him.
Mr. Kaar said:
leon would nod along.Adding onto Mathew's words in agreement.
"Kazuya should be killed anyways if anything out of principal, not to mention why not take out the other unknown factors like the Experiements while we are at it."
Kyrie Blaze said:
She had wondered what had happened to Anna. She'd found out, of course...through David, though she had yet to ask what had become of his previous Voice... It had been jarring to find out. She'd liked her. Might like her still, if she returned to them, though...Kyrie would undoubtedly watch her for some time.The more pressing matter was Kazuya.
Her eyes slid between the three.
"People change. His track record has been...rather deplorable. Does that and his defection make cause for killing him..? Likely so."
David B. said:
David chewed his lip a moment."At one time, he was a friend. I don't want that to be the truth. But it is a possibility I have considered. If such is the case, or evidence is brought that backs it up...I'll march the army on his place myself, and cut off his head. But I still hold out hope that he's not so far gone as to refuse counsel. As for the experiments...they could be potential allies in the war on Strike. Someone should reach out to them, find out their motives."
He turned his eyes back to Kiyr.
"I'd like you to issue the order. Tonight. Also, this war room is locked down as well. Nobody gets in without my say so, or the say so of another Elder. Meaning, we walk them through the damn doors. I have the order of closure here...signed by me already. leon, Mathew, if you wanna slap your seals here, we can get started."
Mathew Amtrum said:
"Fair enough man. But if he goes to try and fuck us again, Or does something to provoke us then don't say I didn't warn you."He leaned in to sign the document awkwardly with his left hand. The little Dragon yawning in the corner obviously bored out of it's mind. Politics were grown up shit!
"We really letting the spies live though? Seems kind of soft."
Mr. Kaar said:
ave considered. If such is the case, or evidence is brought that backs it up...I'll ma Kyrie Blaze said:
Orders issued tonight?The blonde inclined her head, looking rather quickly towards Mathew as he spoke.
"It would likely be for information purposes, initially... What happens after would be for all of those here to decide, would it not?"
She left it inclusive though she really wasn't sure how much 'power' she had amongst them just yet. She was not an Elder, yet was here.
Blue eyes flickered in momentary amusement at leon's words.
David B. said:
David smirked at Matt."Of course not. I'm not an idiot."
He looked to leon and shrugged.
"If someone kills him...well, that could happen to any of us at any time, couldn't it? He should be strong enough to hold is own."
His eyes turned to Kiyr, before he shook his head.
"No. I'll walk my sword to LAX, line them up, and cut off their heads one at a time after whatever religious figure they had in life prays over them. I don't need permission for that. Neither do Mathew or leon. The only difference is, I think, that I believe the one issuing the sentence should swing the sword, at least for those kinds of things."
He used the wind to slide the paper over to Kiyr.
"You have the signed order. See it done. There is food on the counter if you guys are hungry...otherwise I think we are good to go."
Mathew Amtrum said:
Mathew would scratch his balls as he watched the paper slide over to Kiyr. "So do you need me for anything else or should I go do my preperation for lockdown? And would you rather I store our old reports or burn them? I have them boxed and organized ready for either."
Mr. Kaar said:
leon woould turn to grab his next box of pizza."Free to go on an enthusiastic walk you mean."
He'd speak under his breath. Before picking up a slice.
"I'll go make contact with the Experiments. There will be many deaths."
Kyrie Blaze said:
His gaze was held, quietly. She nodded; there was great respect in her, for that. It was one thing to issue a kill order...it was another to issue the order and not be able to face what you had called for, and could bear the weight.Kiyr's eyes slid to the pizza boxes as leon opened one.
Hungry? She was always hungry. Now it wasn't actual hunger, but a sort of psychological side-effect of BEING hungry for a few years. It was something she could ignore, now...but she was disappointed that she wouldn't.
Her fingers carefully curled around the missive before she rose to her feet.
"Consider the orders issued."
David B. said:
David nodded at Mathew."You guys are all free to go. Thanks for coming. Matt- feel free to do as you think best with the other paperwork."
David turned to leon, frowning.
"No. Bad leon. Play nice."
Mathew Amtrum said:
"Right, well don't bother heading to my house. You won't find it."He said with a small snort. He let out a whistle and the Dragon flew up to his shoulder and curled up, it's tail wrapping around his neck as he bailed out.
Mr. Kaar said:
leon would scoff as he threw a slice of pizza to Kiyr."I will be playing nice. The mortality rate is only going to be Fifty Percent, not one hundred."
And leon would bust out cause enthusiastic walks don't walk themselves.
Kyrie Blaze said:
Ack! Part of her flailed in glee as she skipped a step and jumped to catch the pizza slice with her free hand to keep the paper without grease marks. She gave a short bow and then would slide the deadbolts back to exit and deliver the ordinance to the borders and main Dragon Officers......and, well, everyone in Dragon Territory, really.
