Re: In Nomine: the Pacific War (IC)

"Apollo's horses are in that car. Phaethon ran away, if he's smart but he's not so he will probably be back to fetch them." He pauses dramatically. "I am here, one of those you called to be here. Lots of us come when called, which is no doubt why you hate sorcerers, witches, and pagans. You can't fault us for being compelled to come." Defiance. "Some come walking anyway, keep their heads on the shoulders of their very, very expensive vessels. We are the lucky ones. The rest either possess or hang out at Misrule's parties begging for scraps. Or die forgotten in the mists of the Ether." If you're paying attention, you notice Ryuki heading for the door. "We don't need the End Times to wind you up. We just need a little conflict to start a war." Unless he's stopped, Ryuki will let himself out, a grim look on his face. Von Galen leans back and folds his arms, or would if two martial angels weren't holding his elbows. Corat calls after him, "Ree?" but doesn't want to use his full name here and doesn't want to let go of the prisoner.

Corat smiles, and it's full of mischief. With his free hand he flicks Von Galen's face with his fingers, hard enough to sting but not so bad as to injure the ethereal. Von Galen flinches and tries to back away but no matter what angle he tries the Ofanite makes his mark. It's an expression of raw power as only a Wheel of War can provide. "Guys? I don't think he's answered the question." This makes Von Galen a bit worried. He did answer the question! Sure, he was smarmy about it, but he told them everything! Or did he?

Mitch holds up his hand "Let's not break out the big guns yet. Metaphorically speaking that is." He fold his arms across his chest and stares at Von Galen "Who came with you? Who's coattails did you ride? You're not big enough or important enough to come though on your own."

"You have no idea the expense." He's serious to the point of ominous, despite the circumstances. "Nothing short of a miracle got enough gods together to gather enough Essence to put together this body." A moment of ribaldry. "Everyone, or almost everyone. The Olympians, the Aesir, the Lo---" there are some things he fears even more than present company. "My job was simply to gather followers, Essence...food." He sniffles, hiding what must be terrible fear. "And to wait for further instructions." "Your plan all along was to run."

Ryuki is closer. He sees his old friend taunting Von Galen and clearly does not like it. He counts the people in the room and comes to a decision ((that is intended to wrap up this thread so I can start in with the next, more down-to-earth one)). He steps solidly into the tent and explains himself. "Me. You," he points to the Malakite, "a footsoldier. You and you," Corat and Sunae, but he's mindful that Von Galen is listening, "living on the edge. Her," Cameron, "born yesterday. No offense. Him," he looks around to see whether Glen has bugged out yet and shrugs. "We're nobodies. This is the largest war in the universe just gone to the next level, and they sent us. I don't like it." He'd shake Mitch's hand if he thought he'd accept it right now. Truth came from there. "This is going to sound really weird coming from me, but this is way above my pay grade." He turns around to exit, placing his foot down to get some leverage. Corat drops his flicking finger, dumbfounded but not so dumbfounded as to let the ethereal go.

Secretly he'd hoped someone would stop him. Surely things hadn't gotten this bad, surely he hadn't been wedged into the situation, surely the G--damned angels hadn't made such a thundering misjudgment. Judgement herself, no less, unless this was just another test, and he was losing patience with real situations being used as what ifs. Ryuki pushed his way out the tent flap, only to come face to chest with Nisroc. Damn that guy was tall, and standing in such a way that he couldn't push past him. "I'm going." He tried to slip past the angel's side without success. "Run. Run and hide. Go somewhere where I can't find you, where my people can't find you, so that if the archangels ask before I've convinced them and myself that you should be trusted again then I can tell them that I don't know where the Hell you are." Corat's grip loosens. Von Galen considers running for it. Ryuki's mask is ten feet thick, but he's never lost eye contact with this formidable creature. "Noted." When no more words are forthcoming, Nisroc lets him pass. He points at Von Galen, "I'll take care of that guy." He tries to stand, thinking he'll go straight through--or under--the wall of the tent if he has to.
