In Nomine: the Pacific War (IC)

Zahirah would smile- though it doesn't really go all the way to her eyes, "I will make the deal- the Geasa that I tell demons that she called us in to deal with Kingman because he was more afraid of Angels and it would be more horrific for him."

Ruby nods thoughtfully. "Not what I asked for, but I'll take it. And I'll do my level best to get you out of here with your vessel intact. And one other person of your choice, because I like your offer."

"Thing is, what's gonna happen if you gotta face more than just me an' him? Or if things get ugly again? If you're smart, you'll give up now." His eye sees Sunae and her blade. " 'Cause I can guarantee, there's some folks 'round who ain't gonna be this nice. Not at all."

Sunae turns him around and shakes him violently before slapping him as hard as she can

"SNAP OUT OF IT!"

Her voice is calm, "Let all the mortals go and I'll do both. I'll tell people that you asked us to take care of Kingman because it was the worst end for him and that I owe you currently. I have no problem helping you stay in control in LA at this time."

Or something in between?>>


Ryuki snickers in his head. <<Until they figure out how to go around it, dork!>>

<<I want to go back the way we came, honestly. Seriously, though, do I look like someone who does a lot of dodging? I want to not die when they inevitably shoot me or stab me is what I want. Ryuki, are we going to be doing some banishing here? Because otherwise I'd just as soon get while the getting is good.>>

Ruby really must learn better how to marshal her forces. Say, you haven't seen her have you? Around here maybe? She has some things to answer for." He checks his watch, mindful of the duration of the Song and what could happen when it lets go.

"But you're right--let's be reasonable. All her little minions--geas-bound I'm sure, that would explain the low desertion rate--would get sent back to Hell and it would just be you and me. And call me cocky, but I don't think that goes the way you think that goes. Look at us here, now. I could get in my car and just drive away. Then you'd have an awful mess to clean up, but if we cooperate...the neighborhood goes back to peace and we all win, you see?"

<<See, that's the kind of thing that makes me really want to be elsewhere, you know? A rogue god is bad enough, but this is way too many demons for my weight class. All I can do here is soak up bullets, and that isn't my kind of job.>>

"How many mortals are we talking about here? Other than the Shedim and who I'm wearing. I like the idea in principle, but I won't protect a Disneyland-sized crowd."

<<Vaya con Dios then>> Ryuki thinks to Glen over the mental party line, trusting that any Californian knows that phrase. <<Banishing...I will have to teach you the fast way if you're going to keep hanging around with us.

<<Zahirah, Mitch, you in a safe-ish place? You need Essence? Glen's got plenty at the moment but he doesn't do war zones well.>>

Even in Harmony, Kane's mind can't resist a little graveyard humor.

<<As far as Essence, his Uncle-ness out here left me flat,>> he chimes in,mentally. <<And if you want a fast way of banishin' demons, all you'd have to do is go in the garage, climb into the ice cream truck and turn the key. 'Course, that'd also banish the truck, the garage, the house an' anythin' near it, so it might not be considered a great line for a mortal-guy to try.>>

Zahirah's voice is soft, "3 on our side and I have no idea who you have with you"

"Three I can do, if they're reasonably cooperative. We have a deal."

[alexondria]

Zahirah would nod, "Just remember my cooperation is hinged on their survival, and my time is extended if I have to survive trauma before carrying out our deal"
